7 Tips For Spring Property Maintenance

When Spring is approaching, property managers focus on seasonal property maintenance inspections. Inspections consist of monitoring and tracking assets that don’t usually require much attention in Winter like gutters, pools, gardens, and lawns. Managers will check assets that function all year round like filters, HVAC units, and generators, in order to avoid failures. To property owners and landlords, functionality is essential for preserving their home's integrity and keeping tenants happy. To track maintenance related tasks and costs, property owners and managers can implement a maintenance management system. Having a running log on all adjustments and issues handled is important, so many property managers will use a property maintenance software. To help you prepare for Summer, make sure you take these 7 tips into account during the next Spring maintenance check:

1. Inspect the roof and building's exterior

Landlords and property managers are advised to check for damaged siding, chipped paint, holes in window screens, and foundation cracks. They should also verify whether the roof has any missing or damaged shingles that need to be fixed or replaced.

2. Inspect and clean the pool

It is a good idea to check whether the pool has any interior or exterior cracks and if the filters are in good shape.

3. Check the irrigation systems

Irrigation systems should be examined in order to confirm whether they were properly drained before Winter or if they suffered any damage.

4. Check the electrical systems

All the electrical systems should be checked for loose connections. Having a faulty electrical system can lead to energy losses. It’s highly recommended to hire a licenced electrician for seasonal electrical system checks.

5. Inspect the safety equipment

Fire extinguishers, snowmobiles, alarm systems, and smoke detectors are all part of the property’s safety equipment and keeping it in top shape is essential for the safety of the tenants.

6. Update the mechanical systems

Property managers should hire an air conditioning specialist to check all units and to replace air filters if necessary. This will ensure that the quality of indoor air is maintained.

7. Check the gutters

It's important to check the gutters seasonally to ensure that they are not damaged or clogged. Clogged gutters can lead to more severe issues such as water infiltration, and severe gutter damage.

Whether you use a property management software to schedule your maintenance inspections or not, small issues can be prevented before they turn into costly problems.
