To keep your foundation dry and functional for years to come, you need to ensure that it is correctly sealed and maintained. Moisture can seep through when cracks form in a foundation wall or floor, causing mold to develop and lead to harmful living conditions. For this reason, the proper sealing and repairing of the foundation of your Mountain House rental property should be a vital component of your property management plan. A strong, 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. Trying to repair a foundation after moisture already damaged it 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 let a little problem become a big one!
Because structural maintenance is the responsibility of the owner, this includes the property’s foundation, it should not be assigned to your residents. Even good residents may neglect routine maintenance on occasion, and inadequate sealing and repairs can lead to more expensive repair costs down the road.
Fixing cracks in the foundation all by yourself is an option, as long as you know how to properly seal them and remember to do it regularly and at the correct time of year. However, in actuality, foundation maintenance is an easy task to miss, especially when you are already busy. Furthermore, spending your time trying to seal the foundation of your rental property, especially if you’ve never done it before, might not be the most cost-effective use of your day. Your best option is still getting a professional to fix it for you, ensuring that the job gets done correctly and in a timely manner.
