Non-Emergency Maintenance Procedures

Please use the form below to submit a maintenance request. DO NOT text your service request.

CHECK THE FOLLOWING, IF APPROPRIATE, BEFORE CALLING:

  1. Air-conditioner does not work. Check ALL circuit breakers. During hot weather or if a circuit breaker overloads, it will trip off the circuit A/C breaker. Often it is difficult to see that the breaker is tripped and it will look like it is not. Therefore, the breaker must be turned all the way off and then all the way on. The breaker must be turned all the way off because it will not “reset” itself to correct the problem.
  2. Clear a clogged drain by using a plunger or use a chemical drain cleaner.
  3. Electrical does not work in part of the house. Check reset button on GFCI (Ground fault interrupter).
  4. Tripping circuit breakers. Check all appliances to see if the circuits are being overloaded with appliances such as irons, microwave, toaster, curling irons, blow dryers, etc.
