Managing a building with multiple vacant apartments can be challenging. When units sit empty, small maintenance issues often go unnoticed — until they become big (and costly) problems. That’s where we step in.
We recently completed a preventative maintenance check across a block of 75 unoccupied apartments, and the results show just how valuable these visits can be.
What We Do
Our team carries out scheduled building checks designed specifically for vacant units. During each visit, we:
- Flush water systems to keep everything running smoothly.
- Clean filters to maintain water quality and pressure.
- Flush toilets to prevent them drying out (which can let unpleasant odours escape from the stack pipes).
- Inspect for minor plumbing issues before they escalate.
- Provide a clear report on any findings that need attention.
In our latest inspection, we found:
A few apartments with dry traps, causing noticeable odours A handful of minor plumbing issues — all identified early and reported before they became costly. The majority of units now in excellent condition, ready for future tenants.
Why It Matters
When apartments are left empty:
- Toilet seals dry out, letting smells creep in.
- Water stagnates, leading to sediment and blockages.
- Small leaks go unnoticed, turning into big repairs.
- And by the time someone spots it, it’s already a problem.
By scheduling routine checks, you:
- Protect your assets from avoidable damage.
- Keep the building in top condition.
- Prevent complaints when units are reoccupied.
- Save time — we handle everything for you.
- Stay compliant with good building maintenance practices.
