Water leaks and plumbing faults are among the most damaging issues in rental properties. Left unchecked, a small drip can turn into a major repair bill. At The Property Inventory Company, our clerks often spot early warning signs during inventories and mid-term inspections.
Why Plumbing Issues Matter
Property damage: Water causes rot, staining, and structural issues.
Tenant health: Persistent leaks can lead to damp and mould.
Costs: Repairs and insurance claims escalate quickly if issues are ignored.
What We Look For
When carrying out inspections, clerks check:
Under sinks for drips and water damage.
Around baths, showers, and toilets for leaks or staining.
Ceilings and walls for damp patches.
Boiler pressure and visible pipework for warning signs.
Why It Protects Everyone
Landlords: Early detection saves money and prevents long-term damage.
Tenants: Issues are logged impartially, ensuring they aren’t blamed for problems outside their control.
Agents: Demonstrates proactive property management.
Takeaway: Water is one of the most destructive forces in a property — catching leaks early during inventories protects everyone.
