Property Managers Guide
Expert Leak Detection
Hi, I’m Philip from Pegasus Leak Detection. Managing properties means staying on top of potential issues, and leaks are some of the most common—and costly—problems property managers face. Whether it’s a small leak in a unit or a major issue with the building’s infrastructure, early detection can prevent expensive repairs, avoid tenant disruptions, and ensure the long-term integrity of your property.
How Pegasus Leak Detection Helps Property Managers
We understand the unique challenges that come with managing properties. Our non-invasive leak detection services help keep your properties running smoothly by preventing unnecessary damage and resolving issues before they escalate. Here’s how we help property managers stay ahead:
- Accurate Leak Location: Pinpointing leaks with precision avoids unnecessary openings in walls or floors.
- Minimize Disruptions: Fast and reliable service means fewer tenant complaints and smoother operations.
- Comprehensive Reports: We provide detailed findings that meet insurance requirements and guide any necessary repairs.
Access to Multiple Units
Leaks are not always confined to the area where water damage is visible. For multi-unit properties, a leak may originate in one unit but only cause damage in another. To accurately diagnose and resolve the issue, we may need:
- Access to all units involved, not just the one with visible damage.
- Entry to other units to test plumbing fixtures and identify the source of the problem.
- Cooperation from tenants and property staff to ensure smooth access across units.
Providing us with full access saves time and prevents delays, ensuring the issue is addressed thoroughly and efficiently.
How to Prepare for Leak Detection Services
Proper preparation can make our services even more effective:
- Complete System Control: If we’re investigating a water leak, we need full access to shut off and use the water system. Tenants should be notified in advance that no one can use water during the inspection, as water usage can affect the detection process. While it may not always be feasible to stop all water use, limiting it will improve accuracy and speed.
- Access to Utility Areas and Fixtures: Provide access to meters, mechanical rooms, water heaters, irrigation systems, and shut-off valves.
- On-Site Maintenance Staff: Having maintenance personnel available during our visit can help us access utility rooms and systems, answer questions, and streamline the process, potentially reducing labor costs.
Services for Residential and Commercial Properties
Whether you manage apartment complexes, commercial buildings, office spaces, or multi-family housing, Pegasus Leak Detection provides customized solutions:
- Multi-Unit Properties: Our experts identify leaks across units, ensuring the root cause is addressed, even when it’s not in the unit with visible damage.
- Exterior Fixtures and Utility Systems: We inspect irrigation lines, backflows, water heaters, pool fill lines, and other water systems to ensure your property remains leak-free.
- Plumbing Infrastructure Inspections: We help keep your property compliant with local regulations, preventing future issues and costly repairs.
Insurance and Compliance Support
We provide detailed reports to assist property managers with insurance claims and compliance:
- Professional Documentation: Our reports meet insurance requirements, helping you secure coverage for leak-related damages.
- Regulatory Compliance: We inspect plumbing and water systems to keep your property in line with local regulations, preventing fines and disruptions.
Challenges with Leak Detection in Managed Properties
Leaks in multi-unit properties and commercial buildings can present unique challenges:
- Hidden Leaks: Leaks in one unit can go unnoticed until they cause damage elsewhere.
- Large-Scale Leaks: Leaks affecting multiple units or sections of a building require detailed inspections to find the source.
- Tenant Coordination: Gaining access to multiple units and limiting water usage during inspections can impact the timeline. We’re committed to working with you to minimize disruptions and resolve issues efficiently.
