Building maintenance in property management Tarpon Springs is a key element to keeping tenants happy and also for getting new tenants interested in the place. So what are the components that fall under this section? Here is what property managers have to say:
- Building maintenance involves the maintenance of the interiors as well as exterior of the property. Plumbing is one such important aspect. Toilets, bathtubs and kitchen sinks are three major areas where clogs can occur and can lead to major leaks. It is important to have a plumber on the site so that the water supply can be shut off and the clog removed with a plunger or other tools.
- Annual roofing inspections are also important. The roof needs to be cleaned twice each year, once after fall, and once before the onset of stormy weather. In fall, the gutters and downspouts can all get clogged with debris and leaves and lead to great deal of stress on the building's walls and foundation. Additionally, gravel in the gutters is a clear indication that the asphalt roof is breaking down and may not be able to withstand harsh climate.
- Thirdly, an electrician should also be available on a regular basis, since electrical outages and problems in residential wiring can lead to short circuits even fires etc. These things are important to be prevented through regular checks.
These are a few aspects of building maintenance. Additionally, one must also have a landscaper on board to take care of the lawns, seeding, planting and aeration of soil etc. This can help beautify the place to keep existing tenants happy and new renters interested.
