Reactive maintenance vs preventative or even better preemptive?
True management of your property maintenance should reflect a bit of each of these. However, “reactive” maintenance should be the least of the three and be set up in such a way its quick, efficient and resolved very quickly. Why reactive maintenance happens in large part, is because of the lack of emphasis on the other two.
Preventative maintenance strategies are aimed at stopping something from happening or reducing its likelihood based on history or known failure rates. It should be scheduled as a regular task and adjusted as needed as conditions contributing to the failures also change. Preventative is often done after a costly event happens and could have been avoided.
Now “preemptive” is slightly different and often overlooked. These maintenance actions are taken to preempt or proactively address a perceived “risk”, or threat. Preemptive is a part of a capital expenditure planning and future needs.
Preemptive is planning. Taking into consideration the age of things, usage, risk and replacement costs. Let’s consider a complex that has dozens of water shut off valves for each separate unit. You can have a preventative maintenance plan that checks each valve once per year. If it doesn’t seal, replace the seals on single valves. However, failures never happen to all at once. Preemptive looks at the age and condition of all of the valves in the system and develop a capital plan to replace in X number of years. Reason being, I’ve seen it too many times, when one valve leaks, it’s a precursor to many more failing. This leads to constant interruptions and reactive service conditions and in turn increases the cost because many escalate into emergency situations. If we preemptively plan and schedule to replace them, based on age and failure rate conditions this minimizes the interruptions and unplanned repair costs. Included in this is preparation. Making sure the valves are labeled, and replacements can be planned for a time that would be the least disruptive to all. Yes, fix things before they break!

When emergencies happen, responses matter! Preparation is key.
Contractor contact numbers and what systems they work on for your property. Are they handy, up to date, and clear?
Do you also have "back up" contractors that are reliable and, on the list, just in case the primary is busy, tied up, out of town, etc.?
Documentation. Do you have breakers and circuit panels clearly identified and identified on both ends of the circuit? Are these then listed where they are located on a property and what they control?
Water shut off valves, sprinkler shut offs, and drainage items such as sump pumps clearly marked and documented as to where they are on the property and what they control? Drain and sewer systems, do you have a contractor identified to respond to emergencies, overflows, pump outs and backup, storms?
Access control systems. Spare locks, handles/knobs. Chain and emergency tape to secure a faulty gate or door, defined alternate plans for access, stairwells clearly marked, and clear plans to route people safely around the property?
Are Life Fire and Safety systems up to date with inspections and in good working order? Do you know how to operate these systems and what your role of interaction is with these systems? Does your service provider have a responsive 24/7 response plan?
Do you have a clear storm plan and emergency weather plan defining what needs to be done by whom in emergency planning?
Do you have tarps, caution tape, orange cones, safety vests, plastic sheeting, duct tape, flags and other emergency safety supplies and signage stocked up and ready to be used?
If you are an HOA, who oversees what when emergencies happen? Are contact methods clear and secondary people clearly up to date as to guiding next steps? Can your regular maintenance person act on your behalf to secure contractors emergency responses and are the limits of this clearly defined?
Do you have emergency supplies for critical systems if needed?

Bottom line, as you can see, preparation and planning is key. And a qualified, experienced Maintenance company/person is critical to your success. There is much more than just the above. Your Maintenance company/person should also act as a consultant and partner in all of this planning as typically they also have access keys, property systems knowledge and are prepared to respond 24/7.

I spent all of my career in field service and maintenance.
Everyday was different, new, challenging and constant. The pressure of work never lets up.
There is an old saying I used to use and it went something like;
“Maintenance is like a 3 legged cat standing on a frozen pond trying to cover up his mess, and the ice is starting to crack!”
However, with planning, processes defined and constantly striving for efficiencies regular and effective maintenance can be achieved and maintained.

Want to maximize your rental revenue? Then maximize your maintenance and upkeep. Well-maintained properties can command rents 5-10% higher than comparable properties with deferred maintenance.
Upgrading kitchens and bathrooms, installing new flooring, or updating appliances can significantly increase rental appeal and allow for higher rent. Lets talk, I have a great design center and renovation service.
Curb appeal is important. Maintaining the landscaping, roof, and exterior paint can attract more rentals.
Budget and invest in PROACTIVE maintenance like addressing minor repairs promptly, can prevent more costly issues from developing down the line. Avoid the emergency repair, which typically reduces your ability to save money on the repair and when its done. It also leads to increased loss of rental income!
