Preparing for Cool Weather. Yes, technically it’s still summer, but we all know that Labor Day weekend marks the unofficial end of summer.

When you own a property it is important to ensure items for your rental property are being properly maintained so you don’t wind up with high cost repairs later. Here are some of the things Carnahan Property Management likes to do to protect the owners investment as well as maintain a healthy and comfortable enviroment for the tenants.

• Begin a property audit to check all of your units or single family homes for cracked windows, inadequate insulation, and torn weather-stripping. By beginning the repairs now, they’ll be completed long before the cold air hits. It’s also easier to make these repairs while the weather is still relatively mild
• Check heaters and boilers for any leaks and make the necessary repairs now. This will potentially save a lot of time, money, and perhaps untimely repairs during the winter season, when emergency service is considerably higher priced. This is particularly important if your region is prone to late fall or early winter storms
• Begin to prepare your landscaping for fall and winter. This can include anything from removing dead plantings to cutting dead limbs off of trees
• Check roofing for potential leaks and ward them off by repairing them before they leak. Incessant rain or built up snow levels can seriously damage the structure of any roof, and doing the repairs now reduces the likelihood of leaks in the middle of a storm
• Check fireplaces in all units. This includes making sure that a critter of some sort has not taken up residence in the chimney. Checking and cleaning the flue also eliminates the possibility of smoke damage from a poorly maintained fireplace.
