What Is Preventive Maintenance?
Preventive (or preventative) maintenance helps you reduce the risk of issues in the future and the problems associated with them, such as not being able to collect rent because there are no tenants while you make repairs.
Preventive maintenance does not just include the actions of maintaining the property, though. It also includes careful scheduling, planning, and organisation. This type of property maintenance requires you to be aware of your property’s various parts that need regular efforts to remain in good condition. It also requires your knowledge of how often each part of the property needs to be inspected and maintained and what is involved in that.
The following are some of the types of preventive maintenance that property managers will take care of.
- Replacing the batteries in smoke detectors
- Inspecting kitchen appliances
- Inspecting washing machines and dryers
- Tightening any handles, racks, and knobs
- Repairing the caulk or grout in the bathroom
- Cleaning the sediment from the shower heads
- Cleaning the fireplace and/or chimney
- Inspecting the weather stripping on the windows and doors
- Cleaning the gutters
- Inspecting the roofing and siding
