Fall Maintenance Tips for Property Managers & Landlords, Part I

It is important for property managers and landlords to conduct appropriate maintenance as the season’s change. Here are some fall maintenance tips from our company that provides property maintenance services in Crown Point, IN:

Clean the roof and gutters: Leaves are falling … and landing on your roof and clogging your gutters. Leaves left on your roof can become damp from rain and snow and weigh on your roof, and clogged gutters won’t work properly. The debris left in gutters can also lead to the formation of ice dams and icicles as winter sets in as well.

Trim overhanging branches: When ice storms occur, iced over branches that are hanging over your property can snap off and cause damage, they can accumulate debris that causes ice dams, and they provide a bridge for rats, squirrels, and other pests to seek refuge in your home during the colder months.

Rake fallen leaves: A unavoidable part of Autumn is having to rake leaves. Not only are fallen leaves unsightly if not cleaned up, but they can become a slipping hazard, which could be a liability nightmare for you as the property owner.
