When it comes to maintenance issues, it can be difficult to identify which ones need to be addressed immediately and which ones can wait for regular hours. Some can cause hazards that affect your safety, and others are minor occurrences that can be resolved at a later time. Let’s talk about some issues that need immediate attention.

Roof Leaks

Due to how fast these types of problems can progress into something worse, it is important to call a roofer for immediate assistance. Not only can water intrusion lead to mold and rotting, but it can cause electrical problems that will be even more expensive to address. 

Electrical and Wiring

These types of issues that occur in a home need to be looked at as soon as you notice it. These can lead to house fires or electrocution, all of which can lead to serious consequences. It is important to contact an electrician if you notice your lights dim when you turn on appliances or your outlets are hot to touch.

A/C and Heating Unit 

If you notice that the cooling and heating system is not working properly, it is a good idea to seek help quickly. This can be when your thermostat is not working properly, or you notice a drastic temperature shift in your home without being able to change it back.

Now, let’s discuss some of the problems that can occur that can wait to be addressed until regular business hours. Most of these are not life threatening and will not do severe damage if you wait to take care of them.

Clogged Toilets

If you live in a home with multiple bathrooms, this is not a problem that needs to be addressed immediately. Sure, it may not be pleasant to have a backed-up toilet for a few days, but if you have other bathrooms in the home to use it can wait to be fixed.

Slow-Draining Shower or Sink

Although this can be annoying, it is not going to cause any damage to your property. It is not something you need fixed immediately and once Monday comes around, you can call and have it cleared out.

Stove Burner

If one of your stove burners is not working, it is not considered an emergency maintenance issue. You can get it looked at and replaced in the following week but avoid turning it on and off to ensure you don’t create a further problem.
