At Building Maintenance Management (BMM), we know that reliable hot water is essential for resident satisfaction and building performance. That’s why preventative maintenance isn’t just another task on the checklist—it’s a core part of protecting your community’s comfort, safety and investment.
One of the most important systems to maintain regularly? Your community’s water heaters.
The Hidden Stress on Water Heaters
Water heaters work hard every day to keep up with the demands of multi-family living. Over time, minerals and sediment naturally build up inside the tanks, causing the system to work harder and lose efficiency. Left unchecked, this buildup can lead to:
- Reduced heating performance
- Higher energy consumption
- Shorter equipment lifespan
- Unexpected leaks or breakdowns
A simple lack of maintenance can quickly turn into a costly and disruptive problem for both residents and property management teams.
Why Regular Maintenance Matters
A proactive maintenance plan can significantly improve performance, extend equipment life and minimize surprises. Regularly flushing tanks, testing safety valves and checking for corrosion or faulty components allows maintenance teams to:
- Extend equipment lifespan – Clean, well-maintained units last longer and perform better.
- Reduce operating costs – Efficient systems save energy and lower utility expenses.
- Prevent costly emergencies – Early detection prevents expensive and time-consuming repairs.
- Maintain resident comfort – Consistent hot water keeps tenants happy and avoids complaints.
