Description

Toilet leaks and winter freezes are two of the costliest water problems on a multifamily property. Your maintenance team is in the best position to get ahead of both, and this session gives them the playbook.

A single running toilet can waste up to [4,000] gallons a day. A hard freeze can mean burst pipes, flooded units, and repairs nobody budgeted for. The difference between catching these early and paying for them later often comes down to routine and planning.

Attendees will walk away knowing how to:

• Spot the signs of a leaking toilet, including the ones that run quietly
• Work quick toilet checks into everyday maintenance
• Tell when a leak needs more than a simple fix
• Keep fixtures running at optimum, from water pressure to valve stems
• Build this year’s winterization plan, starting with the most exposed areas of the property
• Know what to do when a freeze is in the forecast
  

Property and portfolio managers, send your maintenance team. They’ll leave with a plan they can put to work right away.
