As Summer Approaches, So Do Plumbing Problems
As spring turns to summer, the rental market heats up — especially for property managers overseeing apartments, condos, and multi-family housing. Between May and July, new tenants are moving in, leases are turning over, and your properties are experiencing significantly more water usage than any other time of year.
That’s why May is the ideal time to schedule routine drain cleaning and sewer inspections before the rush hits. It may not be the first thing on your summer prep list, but it can protect your properties, keep your tenants happy, and help you avoid costly surprises.
The Cost of Waiting: Drain Failures During Peak Season
Move-in season puts intense pressure on your wastewater systems. With more laundry, showers, dishwashing, and overall usage, even small undetected clogs can become serious problems.
If your property's drains haven’t been professionally serviced recently, hidden buildup or aging sewer lines can lead to:
- Slow drains or backups
- Emergency plumbing calls
- Water damage in units
- Negative tenant experiences
By scheduling a video sewer inspection ahead of time, you can uncover blockages and issues before they escalate. What starts as a minor slow drain can easily turn into a full-scale backup when usage spikes.
Why May Is the Ideal Month for Drain Maintenance
May offers a critical opportunity for proactive maintenance. With winter pipe strain behind you and summer turnover ahead, it’s the perfect window for scheduled service.
Scheduling Now Helps You:
- Catch minor issues before they become expensive repairs
- Minimize disruptions by servicing during vacant units or scheduled downtime
- Extend the lifespan of your drain and sewer systems
- Reduce the risk of emergency calls during your busiest weeks
Waiting until a backup occurs means rushed service, higher costs, and unnecessary stress. A little preparation now keeps your team in control throughout the summer.
Protect Your Reputation with Every Move-In
First impressions matter. A smooth move-in experience sets the tone for tenant satisfaction and retention. On the other hand, plumbing problems in the first week can create frustration, complaints, and even lost renewals.
Proactive drain maintenance shows your tenants — and your team — that you're ahead of potential problems and committed to quality service.
