What property management companies need to know about gutters

How property managers can help multifamily owners save money with gutters

The job of a property manager is to help multifamily owners preserve and increase the value of their real estate investments. While most property managers are familiar with gutters, there are still some property managers who overlook the importance of multifamily gutters for their properties.

It may be surprising to hear, but a lack of working gutters can affect a property manager’s ability to reduce vacancies, reduce maintenance costs, and avoid legal issues and expenses. Don’t believe us? Here’s how gutters can help property management companies keep their properties in better conditions and save their clients money:

Protect your client’s property against foundation damage

Foundation issues are a major headache for both the property manager and property owner. Multifamily gutters direct rainwater away from your multifamily building. This prevents water from seeping into the foundation and causing expensive, long-term damage to your client’s investment.

Prevent water from damaging multifamily units

If you want to reduce vacancies, the multifamily units you manage must be in great condition. Potential tenants won’t want to see peeling paint, cracks in the walls, or mold and mildew—and neither will you. These are just a few signs that the property a drainage problem and you should recommend the owner installs multifamily gutters.

Help maintain landscaping

Gutters can also help you reduce maintenance costs. Rain runoff can often wash away mulch, affect nearby trees and damage sidewalks. With multifamily gutters installed, rain can be directed appropriately so it can drain properly, reducing the disruption to the landscaping on your multifamily property.

Increase safety and reduce liability

Excess water in unwanted places can leave you open to tenant injuries and lawsuits. Water can damage sidewalks and cause a tenant to trip or pool around your building’s foundation and seep into your lobby. By directing water away to other areas, gutters work to increase safety and in turn reduce your liability.
