Here’s why regular inspections and drain maintenance should be a priority for any residential property manager:
Prevents Costly Emergencies
Unexpected drain issues, leading to leaks and water damage can be costly and time-consuming to repair. Decoration costs, new floorings, insurance claims and a relocation for tenants is something to be avoided.
Regular drain maintenance allows minor issues to be addressed before they escalate, ultimately saving money on emergency drain repairs and minimizing disruption for tenants.
Improves Tenant Satisfaction
Residents expect their living environment to be safe, comfortable, and free of issues caused by blocked drains like slow drainage, unpleasant odours or floods.
Carrying out regular drain inspections reduces the risk of any drainage issues occurring and ensures tenants remain satisfied.
Protects the Property’s Value
A property’s infrastructure, including its plumbing and drainage systems, is a key part of its value. Regular drain maintenance helps extend the life of these systems, preventing costly replacements and maintaining the overall value of the property.
Prevents Health Hazards
Blocked drains can lead to water stagnation, mould, and mildew growth, all of which pose significant health risks to residents. Foul odours, standing water, and the spread of bacteria can create unsafe living conditions. A planned maintenance schedule ensures drains are clear and functioning properly, helping to maintain a healthy environment for tenants.
Compliance with Regulations
Regulations are in place regarding plumbing and drainage systems. Planned maintenance ensures compliance with health and safety codes, avoiding potential legal issues and fines that can arise from neglected drainage systems.
