Plumbing Preventative Maintenance Tips for Rental Properties
Presented by Jamie Rhew from Bluewater Plumbing
In this segment, Jamie shares valuable insights on how to keep your property's plumbing in top shape, helping you avoid costly repairs and tenant disruptions.
Key topics include:
Water Heater Maintenance: Whether you have a tank or tankless system, flush your water heater annually to maintain efficiency and extend its life.
Irrigation Winterization: Before the colder months, winterize your irrigation system to prevent freezing and costly damage. Don't forget to turn it back on in the spring!
Garbage Disposal Care: Avoid clogs by keeping onion peels, corn husks, and other fibrous items out of the disposal. Run hot water and the disposal for at least 30 seconds after each use—this helps the dishwasher run smoothly too.
High Water Bills: Running toilets are often the biggest cause. Learn how to check your water meter while all water is off to see if it's still spinning, indicating a leak.
Roofing Preventative Maintenance Tips for Rental Properties
Presented by Mark House from House FX Roofing
Mark House provides essential tips to ensure your rental property's roof and siding are in excellent condition, particularly with hurricane season approaching.
Key topics include:
Annual Roof Inspection: Before hurricane season, inspect your roof and clean out gutters to avoid water damage. An annual inspection also offers a chance to take photos of your roof's condition for insurance purposes in case of storm damage, helping to avoid discrepancies with insurance claims.
Soffit and Fascia Care: Address any areas of rot or wear on soffits or fascia before they turn into larger, more costly repairs.
Water Stains: Begin roof inspections in the attic, looking for watermarks or stains. For large-scale repairs, House FX Roofing can work with your insurance to manage the process.
NCJOA Grant Program: House FX Roofing helps customers explore the NCJOA Grant Program, which offers $6,000 toward roof replacements for inland homes and $8,000 for coastal homes that install an IBHS FORTIFIED Roof™. Check to see if you qualify!
