Making certain that your foundation is sealed and maintained correctly is essential for it to be dry and functional for many years. When cracks appear in a foundation wall or floor, moisture could seep through, bringing about mold and result in unsafe living conditions. Because of this, the proper sealing and repairing of your Hartford rental home’s foundation need to be a crucial element of your property management plan. A sturdy, watertight foundation is fundamental for a single-family rental home to have a long and profitable life.
Fall is the best opportunity to repair and seal a foundation as you prepare for the impending winter weather. Attempting to fix a foundation after moisture has already dealt damage or in the middle of a deep freeze is not a good plan. Bad conditions can result in poor repairs, which is going to consequently leave your property vulnerable to additional damage. Don’t allow a small issue to turn into a big one!
Because structural maintenance, including the property’s foundation, is the duty of the owner, it should not be assigned to your residents. Even good residents may sometimes neglect regular maintenance, and if sealing and repairs are not performed correctly, it can lead to expensive repairs in the future.
Fixing cracks in the foundation all by yourself is an option, as long as you know how to correctly seal them and remember to do it regularly and at the correct time of year. In reality, foundation maintenance is a task easily overlooked, particularly if you already have a full schedule. Additionally, spending your time attempting to seal the foundation of your rental property if you’ve never done it before might not be the most cost-effective use of your day. The best route to take is still bringing in an expert to take care of it for you, ensuring that the job is well done and in a timely way.
