Definition
Maintenance vs repair vs renovation.
Adelaide property maintenance covers two distinct workflows. Preventative maintenance is the scheduled work that stops things failing — annual gutter clean, six-monthly RCD test, annual AC service, biennial hot water flush. Reactive maintenance is the unscheduled fix when something has broken — burst pipe, blown circuit, cracked tile, ceiling stain after rain. Both fall under the maintenance umbrella; renovation is the bigger structural or aesthetic change that goes beyond maintenance.
Briks coordinates both — multi-trade visits scheduled into the calendar quarter, or a same-day response when something stops working. Same coordinator either way. Same vetted bench. Same invoice format. Twelve-month workmanship guarantee from day of work.

Twice yearly (autumn + late winter)WhyBlocked gutters cause water ingress + insurance claim denial

Hot water service check
Every 2 years (annual for heat pump)WhySacrificial anode + element wear; failure usually mid-winter Saturday night
Smoke alarm test + battery
Annually; replace at 10-year markWhySA tenancy law + your insurance both require it
RCD safety switch test
Every 6 monthsWhyFails silently; you only find out when you actually need it
Air conditioning service

FAQ
Maintenance questions, answered.
Maintenance is the planned work that prevents failure — annual hot-water service, six-monthly RCD test, twice-yearly gutter clean. Repair is the unplanned work after something breaks — burst pipe, blown fuse, ceiling stain. Briks coordinates both. Maintenance bundled into one yearly visit beats five emergency callouts at 11pm.
