How Property Managers Can Reduce Emergency Repairs

Preventive maintenance habits that cut down on after-hours calls.

Know your equipment

Keep an equipment list for each property with age, model and service history. It makes it easier to plan replacements before failures.

Schedule the big three

HVAC, roofing and plumbing cause many emergency calls. Regular HVAC maintenance, roof inspections before storm season and backflow testing where required can prevent many of them.

Set response expectations

Define emergency, urgent and routine response times in your vendor agreements and make sure every site is covered.

Plan for storms

Before hurricane season, confirm generator testing, roof drains and tree trimming at each property.
