Property Management San Diego Company Explains What Kinds Of Home Repairs Occupants Should Know In Case Of Emergencies

Melroy Property Management, a property management and investment business based in San Diego, California, also known as Melroy Properties, has announced that they have recently published a blog post that offers tips to property occupants on the kinds of home repairs that they should know in case of emergencies. While the landlord or property manager is ultimately responsible for such repairs, some problems simply cannot wait for the maintenance team to arrive. Some will also require the services of an expert, such as a plumber or an electrician, and while waiting for them, the occupants may need to do something about it in order to prevent the problem from getting worse.

Vida Melroy, a representative for Melroy Property Management, says, “Choices for emergency repairs commonly come down to two options, with one being calling the management group so they can send a repair professional and the other being the ‘do it yourself’ option when all parties are agreeable. The scope of the long-term damage will generally control this decision, but it is still good for occupants to know the basics of stopping the problem before it worsens when they cannot repair it personally.”

One such problem that occupants may need to be knowledgeable about has to do with water leaks. There is a wide range of problems involving water leaks, from leaks around faucets or busted pipes leading to commodes that are not functioning correctly. Every tenant should at least know where to shut off the water supply so as to temporarily stop the loss of water and water pooling in a particular area in the home. And slow leaks can also be problematic so they will also need to be fixed temporarily. And home occupants should also ensure that they have a toilet plunger for those times when the toilet gets clogged.

Electrical problems are also quite common and it would also be advisable for tenants to have some knowledge about the electrical system, such as the location of the circuit breaker. However, it is also important to contact the landlord or property manager if the tenant was able to reset it and turn it back on because the tripping of the circuit breaker might be a symptom of a worse problem. Electrical problems can lead to fires so it would be best to have the electrical system checked by a professional electrician.

While it is the responsibility of the landlord or the property manager to perform the necessary repairs, it is important for tenants to be be knowledgeable on what they can do for the mean time that the maintenance crew are still on the way. Truly responsible and professional property management San Diego companies like Melroy Properties appreciate tenants who inform them immediately when a problem occurs.
