Short-term rentals near the parks — the vacation-home subdivisions around Kissimmee and Davenport — put plumbing through punishment an owner-occupied home never sees. Different guests every few days, all of them treating the place like it's somebody else's. Which it is.
Back-to-back occupancy means showers, dishwashers, and disposals running far more than a normal household, and guests who don't know (or care) what shouldn't go down a drain. Fixtures and appliances wear out in a fraction of the usual time.
In our experience it's the garbage disposal (fed everything, jams constantly), the water heater (run nonstop, scaled by hard water), and the toilets (clogged by guests and "flushable" wipes). Builder-grade versions of all three don't last under rental loads.
Between guests, have your cleaner run every faucet and flush every toilet, listen for a running toilet, check under sinks for drips, and note any slow drain. Catching a slow drain on turnover day is a quick fix; catching it from a guest's one-star review is not.
The thing about rentals is the problem always happens when you're not there and the house is full. Having someone you can call any hour — and who can get to the parks corridor fast — is the difference between a quick fix and a refunded stay. Set that up before you need it.
