Why STRs are hard on plumbing
Guests do not always respect disposals, softeners or outdoor hose bibs. Units sit empty between bookings, then suddenly host six people for a holiday weekend. St. George's very hard water (City of St. George, 2024 Drinking Water Quality Report) accelerates scale on heaters and fixtures when a softener is bypassed or out of salt.
Owner checklist
- Labeled main shut-off that cleaners and property managers can find in seconds. See find your shut-off.
- Working fixture stop valves under sinks and toilets — multi-turn valves that have not moved in years often fail when someone finally turns them.
- Softener salt and settings checked between stays so scale does not spike. See water softeners.
- Water heater age and pan documented; a garage tank that leaks while the house is empty can wreck belongings. See water heaters.
- Hose bibs and irrigation shut down on freezing nights. See freezing nights.
- Optional leak sensors / auto-shutoff on the main or near the heater for peace of mind when you are not on site.
Common service calls from rental owners
- Clogged disposals and guest-caused drain backups.
- Running toilets that spike the water bill between occupancy sensors.
- Slab or supply leaks discovered only when the bill doubles. See leak repair.
- Softener bypassed "because the water felt slippery" and never turned back on.
What to put on the quote form
Note that it is a rental or second home, whether a manager needs to be contacted, and whether the unit is occupied. Photos of the heater, softener and main shut-off help.
