A: All three can pose a dangerous risk to your property if they are not properly maintained!
Be sure to keep yourself, your tenants, and your home safe with proper cleanings of your chimneys and dryer vents. Trimming or removing dead, dying, or weak trees is also highly recommended as they pose a risk of falling and damaging your or your neighbor’s property.
Now that winter has come and gone, you should make certain your rental’s chimney is clean of dangerous creosote, especially if your tenants used the fireplace during the chilly months. Acids in the soot can also cause damage to the fireplace’s mortar and cause unpleasant odors. If you have any questions about chimney cleaning, please contact the Mavi Maintenance Department!
It is also extremely important that you make sure to have dryer vents cleaned. Dryer vent fires are a very real and expensive danger. Any questions or concerns about making sure your rental’s dryer vents are property cleaned can also be directed to the Mavi Maintenance Department – they will be happy to get you the information you need!
Last but not least, proper maintenance of trees on your property is of the utmost importance. Dead, dying, or weak trees and limbs pose a very real risk of falling down and damaging your rental property and your tenant’s personal property. There is even a chance of a neighbor’s home or personal property being damaged by wayward trees.
By staying on top of these three dangers with preventative cleaning and maintenance, you are protecting yourself from the potential of dangerous (and costly) disaster at your rentals.
