Plumbing accounts for Pickering property managers

What we look after

• Townhouse complexes and stacked units in Pickering and Ajax
• Small rental buildings and houses converted to suites
• Plaza units with retail, food and clinic tenants
• Owner-occupied commercial condos

A sump pump test before the spring melt, a check of hose bibs before the first frost and a run of every main shut-off once a year prevent most of the after-hours calls that blow a maintenance budget.

Unit turnover checklist

• Every faucet run hot and cold, aerators cleaned
• Toilets checked for rocking, running and seal leaks
• Tub and shower drains timed for flow
• Under-sink supply lines and shut-offs operated
• Water heater age read from the plate and noted
• Laundry hoses checked for bulges

Preventive visits worth booking

A sump pump test before the spring melt, a check of hose bibs before the first frost and a run of every main shut-off once a year prevent most of the after-hours calls that blow a maintenance budget. Older heaters get a flush and anode look; anything past its expected life goes on a replacement list so the owner can plan it rather than pay for an emergency swap.

Signs a property needs a plumbing review

• The same unit calling about the same drain every season
• Water bills creeping up on a property with no change in tenants
• No one knows where the main shut-off for a building is
• Heaters that have never had a service record
