Burst or leaking pipes – if you’ve ever dealt with a burst pipe, you’ll know the aftermath isn’t pretty (or cheap to repair). Turning off an unoccupied building’s heating in very cold weather, failing to replace or repair old or corroded pipes, or leaving little leaks until tomorrow are decisions that will probably come back to haunt you. So, play it safe, keep on top of general wear and tear and look out for any tell-tale signs that something might be leaking, like mould, mildew, or pooled water.

Drains and sewers – backed-up sewer or blocked drains are no one’s idea of fun. Keeping things flowing nicely is much easier than cleaning up after a drainage disaster. From toilet overflows caused by people putting things like baby wipes down the loo, to greasy, gurgling plugholes that take hours to drain, there are plenty of issues to keep an eye out for. Test your flow rate and backflow valves regularly and get the professionals in with drain unblockers, power rods, or hydro jets to keep everything moving.

Taps – most properties have a dripping tap somewhere or other. While it might seem like a pretty minor complaint, a drip or two has the potential to turn into a torrent if you leave it long enough. It can also waste a surprising amount of water. In many cases, a quick repair with a new washer might do the trick. However, the leak could be caused by something more serious lurking in the water system. If a simple washer change doesn’t get it sorted, it’s time to call in a local plumber to dig a bit deeper.

Water pressure – most of us like a happy medium, and it’s no different with your water pressure. Too high and your tenants could end up being sprayed with water every time they turn on the tap. Too low and, not only will it take hours to fill the bath, it could indicate a leak or burst somewhere in your pipes. If you don’t have balanced water pressure, check your pumps and pipes pronto. Pressure fluctuations can cause serious damage to your plumbing system and any plumbed-in appliances, so you need to get them fixed as soon as possible.

Boiler servicing and water heater checks – a building isn’t inhabitable without hot water and safe heating. Ensure your boiler is regularly serviced and maintained by a fully qualified, Gas Safe registered heating engineer. Good maintenance is a significant factor in ensuring good boiler performance and keeping the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning at an absolute minimum. Frequent water heater checks are also important. This should keep your water temperature on point and all safety valves and overflows in good working order.
