Paul from Plumbing Bros shares expert insights on managing rental property plumbing issues efficiently and proactively. We discuss the value of preventative maintenance through Home Safety Checks and how to build stronger relationships between property managers, tenants, and contractors.

• Leaking taps, toilets, and seasonal hot water system failures are the most common plumbing issues in rentals
• Property managers should consider scheduling a Home Safety Check ($99+GST) when plumbers visit a property more than twice in 12 months
• High-quality work orders should include photos, specific location details, urgency level, access instructions, and budget caps
• Knowing the location of isolation taps in properties (especially apartments) can prevent major damage during emergencies
• Common tenant-related issues include items flushed down toilets, overtightened taps, and unreported maintenance problems
• Having both corporate plumbing providers and smaller operators on your contractor list ensures coverage for all situations
• Water filtration systems are becoming increasingly popular and may become an expected feature for future renters
• Proactive educational sessions with plumbers can help property managers identify issues early and communicate more effectively with owners
