When is an emergency not an emergency?

General Apartment Emergency Maintenance Services

• Flooding, whether from broken or frozen pipes or any other source. This kind of problem must be repaired immediately to stave off the cascade of damage flooding can cause if left unresolved.
  
  
• A one-bedroom apartment's backed-up or non-functional toilet is considered an emergency by most property managers. Tenants are advised to try unclogging the toilet with a plunger before calling on the property's maintenance manager.
  
  
• Gas leaks are legitimate emergencies and cause for immediate evacuation after the tenant has reported the problem. Usually property management companies prefer that tenants do not try to solve this problem themselves. Nevertheless, a common-sense solution, such as turning off a stove dial on an unresponsive range, is sometimes the best answer, and the tenant can certainly do this without help.
  
  
• When the electricity fails, the tenant should first check the apartment's circuit breakers to see if resetting them might solve the problem. If not, then call the maintenance number.
