Winter Property Maintenance Checklist:

Protecting Your Investment During the Colder Months

Winter in Nambour may be mild compared to southern states, but it still brings unique challenges for property owners. Proper seasonal maintenance can prevent costly repairs, keep tenants comfortable, and protect your investment. Here’s your essential winter checklist:

1. Inspect Heating Systems 🔥

Ensure air conditioning units, heat pumps, and any other heating systems are serviced and in working order. Clean filters and check for any faults to keep tenants comfortable.

2. Prevent Mould and Damp Issues 🏡

Winter humidity can lead to mould growth. Ensure good ventilation, check for leaks, and advise tenants to use exhaust fans in kitchens and bathrooms.

3. Check Guttering and Drainage 🌧️

Heavy rains can cause blockages and water damage. Clean gutters and downpipes to prevent overflow and potential foundation damage.

4. Inspect Roofing and Seals 🏠

Check for missing tiles, cracks, or leaks that could worsen during wet conditions. Seal any gaps in windows and doors to improve insulation and reduce heating costs.

5. Ensure Outdoor Areas Are Safe 🚶‍♂️

Slippery pathways, rotting decking, or unstable fences can become hazards. Conduct safety checks and make necessary repairs before problems escalate.

Proactive maintenance during winter can save property owners from expensive emergency repairs while keeping tenants happy.
