A busted water pipe in the middle of the night at your apartment during finals week can be disastrous. As the area’s leading provider of off-campus housing, Eagle Realty & Investment in Statesboro, GA, has the tips you need to keep the plumbing in your off-campus apartment in good working condition.

Here are a few maintenance suggestions from your local property management company:

  • Handle Small Leaks Soon: A small leak can eventually turn into an expensive problem. The solution could be as cheap and simple as installing a new washer. Many online videos provide quick and easy steps for repairing minor water drips.
  • apartmentsKeep Drains Clog-Free: Hair, food scraps, and other debris can quickly cause your pipes to clog. Prevent drain clogs by putting screens in your kitchen sinks, bathroom sinks, and showers. Avoid pouring grease down your drain too as it causes clogs when the liquid hardens.
  • Reduce Water Pressure: Running water at full pressure can potentially make your plumbing work harder, which can lead to leaks. An inexpensive hose bib gauge can determine if your water pressure is within the normal range.
  • Keep Pipes Warm: Cold and freezing weather can cause significant and costly damage to plumbing. In the winter, add insulation to the pipes to keep them from bursting. Detach outside hoses from spigots to prevent frozen water from rupturing pipes.

As a college student, the last thing you need to worry about is dealing with broken pipes. From apartments and condominiums to studio apartments and homes for rent, the property management company has the rental you’re looking for with the maintenance support you need.
