Why Rentals Are Hard on Chester Plumbing

Chester has many rental rowhomes, and the median home dates to 1949.

• Aging pipe. Seventy year old supply lines and drains fail in all kinds of ways.
• Rental inspections. Units go through a city inspection process, so plumbing items need to be right. Check current city rules for your address.
• Small leaks grow. A drip left alone turns into a stained ceiling, mold and an empty unit.
• Tenant turnover. Heavy use and gaps between tenants hide problems until someone moves in.
• Attached homes. About 65% of Chester homes are attached rowhomes, so a leak in your unit can reach the neighbor.

How a Rental Repair Is Handled

1. You or the tenant calls. Either one can start a request.
2. We set access. We schedule directly with the tenant.
3. Fix within your approval limit. You tell us the amount that needs your sign off.
4. Photos and notes to you. The report names the cause and the fix.
5. Invoice to the owner or manager. Billing goes where you want it.

Turnover Plumbing Checklist

Check every shutoff, supply line, trap, toilet seal and the age of the water heater, and run every drain before the next tenant arrives. Here are ten checks that catch most problems.

1. Shutoff valves. Turn each one off and on.
2. Supply lines. Look for bulges, rust and wet spots.
3. Traps and drains. Run water and watch for slow flow.
4. Toilet seals. Rock the toilet and look for staining.
5. Faucets. Check for drips and weak flow.
6. Water heater age. Read the label and note the date.
7. T&P discharge line. Confirm the line is in place.
8. Hot water at every tap. Test each fixture.
9. Under sink cabinets. Look for stains and soft wood.
10. Ceilings below bathrooms. Check for new marks.

Inspection items that often fail include a missing T&P line, leaking traps and no hot water. Check them against the current city checklist.
