Maintenance is planned or routine work intended to keep a property and its systems functioning as intended.
What this means at your property
Checking an accessible drainage outlet, arranging equipment service and documenting a recurring stain serve different maintenance purposes. A useful plan identifies who checks each item, what condition triggers follow-up and where the record is kept.
How is maintenance different from damage repair?
Maintenance manages ongoing condition; repair addresses a particular defect or damage. Keep records of both so a recurring problem can be assessed against prior work instead of repeatedly treating its visible symptoms.
