When it comes to home maintenance issues and prevention, there are no experts quite like our AAA House Managers. They’ve seen it all and fixed it all. We sat down with two of our most experienced House Managers, Sinclair and Matthew, to ask them about what advice they’d like us to pass along to you.
QUESTION: What are some of the most common issues you see when visiting homes of AAA House Manager members?
Matthew: Water and leaks are definitely big issues. We often see it intruding into places where it shouldn’t be — leaking from roofs into the home, leaks in bathrooms and kitchens. Getting in front of it is important so we make sure members are aware of the best ways to do that.

QUESTION: What are some of the most common oversights you see homeowners make?
Sinclair: Rodents. We often find them up in the attic, but homeowners don’t go up there so they’re not aware there’s an issue. We’ll come back down and tell them what we found. Behind fridges too. There are a lot of surprises when you pull them out.

QUESTION: What is one piece of advice you would give every homeowner to help them take better care of their home?
Matthew: To get out in front of things. We have a tendency to let things go, thinking they might not be as bad as they really are. Getting in front of an issue can be the difference between a $1,000 fix and $10,000 fix. Communicating with your House Manager so that we can make recommendations or repairs before they become larger, totally overwhelming projects.
Sinclair: If you’re investing in something, you want to make sure you’re taking good care of it. After a visit with your House Manager, you’ll have a Home Health Report listing all the issues that need to be addressed and how we can help.
Do any of these common household problems sound familiar? You’re likely not alone. Our House Managers offer a good reminder for what to be on the lookout for around your home.
