Building Maintenance

Cleaning of Drains

The grouting of the pavement, the periodic cleaning of the drain drains, the care of the parts of the roofs that are not exposed to direct sun where mold stains appear, the periodic painting of the walls to protect them from weathering, the railings, are jobs that are not normally done until problems appear.

Unblocking of Downpipes

Another important aspect in building maintenance that is not paid attention to is the unblocking of community downpipes, whether fecal or rainwater, they require periodic checks to avoid blockages and returns in the drains of sinks, sinks, toilets, etc.

Replacement of Downpipes

The replacement of downpipes is also an important issue to consider over the years. Above all, it is important to replace many of the existing downpipes that are made of fiber cement and contain asbestos, which is harmful to health.

Roofs and Decks

Likewise, non-trafficable roofs and decks require preventive maintenance. Over time, there may be movements that break the seal between the tiles, the weathering of the cement mortars, and the proliferation of plants that grow naturally where water stagnates can cause watertightness problems.

Maintenance of Chimney Cowls

Another aspect to take into account is the maintenance of the chimney cowls of buildings. Many buildings have interior rooms where ventilation is very important and often over time they become clogged or partially obstructed, reducing their effect. On other occasions they break or crack and cause water leaks in homes

Now that we have been confined for so long we will know how to appreciate what it is to have well-kept common areas prepared for the use and enjoyment of the neighbors.
