Staying Proactive with Pioneer Plumbing

SEATTLE, Wash. – Redside Partners hosted two special speakers last Thursday in the office! Redside is always looking for ways to stay ahead in property management and that means engaging directly with industry experts to sharpen operations and deliver more value to the communities they serve.

Last Thursday the Community Managers and Portfolio Managers met with Steven and Rebecca from Pioneer Plumbing to explore ways to work smarter, respond faster, and plan better. Here are some key takeaways that reflect Redside Partners’ commitment to continuous improvement.

1. Emergency Ready Processes: Providing access and sending photos ensures quick, informed responses.

2. Proactive Asbestos Awareness: Good faith inspections and coordination with maintenance teams help us manage risk safely and stay compliant when dealing with older buildings.

3. Preventative Maintenance Matters: Annual water heater and boiler maintenance helps avoid costly emergencies. They are currently exploring dedicated crews to ensure these tasks are handled with focus and consistency.

4. Emergency Preparedness: Knowing where every shutoff is—and having it logged in AppFolio—is a small step that makes a big difference when time is critical.

Redside Partners is committed to evolving with the industry, staying informed, and making smarter decisions for the properties and people they manage.
