Water proofing rental property?

Josh Lyons

Posted

I just got a signed lease yesterday on my first rental property after a few years of reading and trying to get the First One! :)

With that said I have a question about “water proofing” the house. I’ve seen “tenant proofing” threads but not one specifically about water. Please send me to it if there is one though.

The question: What are the best ways to water proof the house especially against major damage from water heater, fridge, dish washer, washing machine, plumbing leaks?

From some research it seems like water sensors near water appliances, quarterly inspections, water proofing under sinks are some ways. Any other comments or thoughts? Considering the potential expense of water damage it seems to make sense to make a rental property a “tank” against water damage as much as possible.

Thanks!
