It is important to make certain that your foundation is sealed and maintained well to keep it dry and useful for years to come. When cracks develop in a foundation wall or floor, moisture can come through, which can cause mold to grow and result in unsafe living conditions. For this reason, the proper sealing and repairing of the foundation of your Newbury Park rental property should be a vital component of your property management plan. A sturdy, watertight foundation is crucial to the long and profitable life of a single-family rental home.
Fall is the best time to repair and seal a foundation as you get ready for the coming 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 lead to substandard repairs, which consequently will make your property susceptible to more damage. Don’t allow a small issue to become a big one!
The owner is responsible for structural maintenance— including the property’s foundation— so it should not be left up to your residents. Even good residents might occasionally forget to perform regular maintenance, and if sealing and repairs are not done correctly, it could lead to pricey repairs in the future.
Addressing cracks in the foundation all by yourself is a choice you can make— as long as you know how to seal them properly and remember to do it consistently and at the right time of year. In actuality, however, foundation maintenance is a task easily forgotten, especially if you’re already busy. Moreover, spending your time attempting to sell your rental property’s foundation, if you’ve never done it before, might not be the most profitable use of your day. Your best choice is still getting a professional to handle it for you, ensuring that the job gets done right and in a timely manner.
