.-150 dollars.August-1.5 labor hours-rerouted condensation line to the outside of the house from the crawl space-97.50 dollars.September-1 labor hour-repaired leaking hose bib on the front of the house.-65 dollars.October-vents are not working in all the bedrooms. found system with a broken duct in the attic and plenum.

The reason is we have found the tenants put the hoses on cockeyed to the washer and then going into the wall.

We have maintenance install the washer and dryers so they are hooked up correctly.We use teflon tape,the steel braided hoses wit the high quality washers on the inside.Where the discharge hose goes into the drain we install a strap to the wall so the discharge hose won't fall out when draining and leak.Even given all that if they have an old washer it can give out and water can be released.The simple fix is a drain pan under the washer with a pipe that ties into the discharge pipe in the wall.All of this will cost about 40 bucks or so not including labor.Well worth it than cleaning up a huge leak causing massive damage.We also check the hot and cold water valves the supply lines hook into from the washer.The valves might be gone and partially leaking.Also if the tenant installs the washer and dryer they might over tighten fittings causing bent pipes and damage or under tighten having leaks.Been my experience with over 20 units on a 30 year old building.

Whether they are listed or not....If I had to go buy a $500k house right now..I'd be hosed!!!

You better listen to them...or else you'll get the hose again!

I told my wife today that we basically spent the last 6 months drinking from a fire hose.

I have many years in land development, municipal, hydraulic and dams and reservoirs.

My concern here is that my brother inlaw nor his crew carries insurance and if one of these guys gets hurt on my property I could get hosed.

I have dehumidifiers in all of my basements (unoccupied) that are set to a certain humidity They have a hose outlet that feeds into a condensation pump that sends it into a drain.

Does the neighbor have a swimming pool and a very long hose?
