Just getting back into Apartment Maintenance. Refreshing my knowledge with your vids before I start tomorrow.
Awesome, glad the videos help out Nomad Rick. Subscribe to the channel 👍
I subbed.
Dude. I wish every day was like this. But at the same time. Where is the fun in that 😂. We are a different breed. Cheers brother!!
Haha I hear ya bro! I wanted to make a video of the normal everyday work orders that a maintenance technician does. Not every work order is the glorious AC call, or No heat call. There's alot more of the mundane work orders in our workday, especially at a newer property. My older property back home in Pa was 47 years old so it's a nice change of pace at my newer property. It's now 5 years old, but was 3 years old when I came and took over in 2018. Keep your videos coming to bro & Thanks for watching as always 👍 I will have my veto tool bag load out video & my Maintenance shop tour video coming within the next 2 weeks or so.
Apartment Maintenance I totally get it man! And to be honest as old as my properties are. The company has been fortunate to have had a great run of maintenance men. Other then the pipes and stuff it’s all in pretty great shape. I can’t wait for those videos brotherman!!
@@themaintenanceman1 Niceeee 👍
I work public housing,and every day is not like this
I always wondered how many Maintenance Techs it took to change a lightbulb. Cool video on the more “mundane” aspects of what you do.
Haha, just 1. Yep the ordinary daily service request video, not everything is glorious, alot of "mundane" calls. Thanks for watching Jimi I 👍 Hope your Subscribed!!
At my job it takes the whole crew 😂
Should be able to do it yourself
Good job. I hope the resident thanks you , if not thanks for all you do Thanks for sharing !
Appreciate that Phillip!! Thanks for watching as always. 👍
Cool video!!! It’s funny and I often forget how so many people have very little maintenance knowledge to just pick up a screwdriver and tighten there own lock or put a bulb socket back in place in a fridge etc. But that’s good job security for you.
@@NateB1976 Yeah some people don't want or know how to do anything. I guess they figure they are paying for the maintenance so might as well take advantage of it. Those were just a few common calls I put together into one video to show an example of the simple common issues that we come across.
This video is very helpful! I just got promoted from groundskeeper to maintance tech because of my work effort, i was a little nervous becuase i never been in that kind of job field before, but your video helped with everyday common work orders!
Congratulations! That's great to hear. Now these are just your more common work orders you will have throughout the week. They all won't be that easy most of the time. You may have days where there's just a few easy calls but there's going to be other stuff as well. Check out my playlists of other videos as well. Thanks for watching Michael & subscribe to the channel 👍
THE PROBLEM WITH HOUSEKEEPING IS THAT SOMETIME THEY INVOLVE YOU WITH THE MAINTANCE DEPARTMENT I CALL THAT UNPROFESSIONALISM, I DONT MIND CLEANING BUT DONT SENT ME TO DO SOMETHING I WAS NOT HIRED FOR AND PAY ME THE SAME. ALSO SOMETIME MAINTANCE MANAGERS WHO ARE HIRED IN A A COMISSION BASE TRY TO EVEN MAKE YOU DO JOBS THAT ARE OUT OF YOUR CONTRACT LIKE REMOVING SNOW OR DO WORKS THAT SHOLD BE DONE BY A CONTRACTOR, ALOT OF MANAGERS DO THIS SO THAT THEY CAN SPLIT THE ANUAL EXPENSES AND TAKE IT AS A BONUS WHICH AS RESULT ONLY AFFECTS THE EMPLOYEE BECAUSE THEY KEEP OVER LOADING THEM WITH WORK AND LEAVING BEHIND THEIR OWN DUTIES.
Your caps lock is on : )
Suck it up buttercup, I’ve been a maintenance tech and had to do housekeeping for weeks plus my own job. It builds character
That was a nice easy relaxed work day... I'm sure you also get the crazy days when you're trying to finish a turn while the office keeps calling and calling for emergencies 😬
Good work brother!!
It wasn't all in one day, but I'll take those calls more often that's for sure. Like you said, I've had the days that I'm trying to get turns done & they keep calling for emergencies. When I lived in Pa, I would have turns, no heat calls, & it would be snowing. Snow takes priority along with no heat calls, so one guy would take the no heat call, & the other guy or guys, depending on how big of property would start snow removal. Thanks for watching 👍
Been a tech for 7 years never once have i had a day with these easy fixes
1) gfi doesnt reset a loose wire have to follow to source. Tear fuse box apart to find a loose wire
2) bath drain : never just hair usually a toy in the drain need to haul 100 lb snake to 3rd floor to break it loose
3) lock: never happens usually door is jacked or frame needs replacement
4) garbage disposal: its a shot glass broken off into disposal busting the blades while shorting out the outley and burning wires causing a full plug and junction box replacement and new wiring because it burned out a wire in master bedroom which i had to trace took me a hour. Anyone looking into this career. This video does NOT show you a everyday maint tech if i had a day like this id be in cloud 9. Btw taking nothing away from man posting video im sure he has had his share of “long days” but dont base this video if u think bein a tech is easy
I was a Technician for 6 years & have been a Service Director for 12 years now & never had a single day like that either. Your taking the video out of context. This wasn't one day of work, or a day in the life type of video. This was a video of "common work orders" like the title says. The common work orders one would have in apartment maintenance (meaning your most mundane over & over calls) GFCI'S, tub drains, light bulbs, door knobs/locks, disposals etc.....If you check my playlists you will see the kind of work I do mostly such as air conditioning repairs, lots of appliance repairs, & various plumbing repairs along with electrical, carpentry, door king gate repairs, & plenty more thats not filmed for various reasons. There wouldn't be a shortage of good maintenance technicians in the industry if that was the case. Thanks for watching Bobby 👍🍻
A gfi not reseting doesn't necessarily mean a loose wire, I could be the gfi itself that does not work anymore, if your disposal outlet is wired together with the master bedroom that's a whole lot of half assed wiring by the electrician. That makes me wonder what kind of apartments you work in
Man I thought I had a simple replace doorknobs. Turned into chiseling and resetting door and stripped screws not holding having to jam toothpicks to grab and using 3 inch torx screws to pull door straight and reset latch .it turned to an hour on three doors
All sounds doable .
Been doing this like of work for 6 years , some days it’s slow and boring and other days you want to quit
It’s amazing how many people don’t know how to replace light bulbs 💡🤔 I guess if you are never taught you wouldn’t know 🤔 I have a clogged kitchen sink in my house and I’ve done everything I can to fix it and it’s still backing up and yes I’ve plunged and used drain cleaner. A plumber probably needs to snake it. Just a couple drains no garbage disposal. When I’ve done everything I can myself and it’s still a problem then I call for help 😃
Sometimes people are just old or handicapped as well.
Liquid drain cleaner never works and puts the drain technicans at health risk.
I think what they do for that is unscrew the 'P' trap and run a scrubber snake through the drain or just try unscrewing that P trap and you should have a closer idea to where the clog is, maybe. Anyways. I am a new maintenance tec for apartments. The P trap or whatever has water in it, so put a towel down first. :)
Some people don’t even try since they pay rent and all the maintenance is included.
lol never knew there was a disposal tool, I would either use a copper pipe or a mixer for paint and use the end where it goes into the drill
Hey whatever works to get the job done, but yep they definitely make a disposal tool & it's only like $7 or $8. Thanks for watching TradesMike22 & help support the channel by subscribing 🛠️👍
Just turned 19 with a good chance landing one of these jobs, I do all of these just cause my dad tells me to do it. Hope I can get it
That's great to hear Jaydon! Start out doing minor work orders & follow the veterans around & soak up everything you can. There's great opportunities in this industry to advance your career & almost every company will pay for your training & certifications. Thanks for watching Jaydon & hope your Subscribed to the channel 👍
Those Work orders I used todo it when I was a make ready
Yeah a lot of those work orders are stuff you take care of on a make ready but once the resident has been there several years those common issues pop up again. It's just a video of some easy common work orders that pop up often. Thanks for watching Ro Juan & subscribe to the channel 👍
I’m digging these videos. Thanks.
Appreciate that! Thanks for watching & subscribe to the channel if you're not already 🛠️👍
If so only if you want use a drywall saw for tub drain cleaning works wonders I use to do apartment maintenance , but hotel emaintenance
I have a old drywall saw I use for tub drains, as well as the small needle nose pliers I used in this video, & I use a zip it for time to time. I usually just grab one of them and go. I definitely appreciate the input cause if I haven't tried the drywall saw, it would be a great tool to use for the drain. Thanks for watching & hope your Subscribed. 👍
These are all perfect world settings lol. Reality a light bulb could have bad wiring as well as the gfci's or even a mouse chewing on the wire somewhere inside the wall. As for the drain i ran into multiple issues of tampons being flushed, frozen drain lines, crappy installs where short turn 90 fitting were used for drain and you have to cut into drywall and look for the fitting itself because it got clogged and it doesn't help when there's no blueprints to go off of. as for door knobs some times doors are kicked in and you have to replace the whole door jamb because of a safety issue. Fyi not all disposals have a reset.
The examples you give are all to the extreme, & not what you would encounter every day as you should know if you do this kind of work. The title of the video is "common work orders in apartment maintenance" meaning these are the types of work orders you will receive on a daily basis. If there was an issue like you gave, I would make a video on that specific repair like a frozen pipe in the winter, a chewed wire, tampon being flushed in a toilet etc... If there's not a reset button on a disposal, then you unjam it with a disposal wrench or Allen key depending on what type of disposal you have. Thanks for watching & commenting wild mikey 🔧💼👍
@@ApartmentMaintenance You have the best attitude. You could easily respond in a negative way, yet you choose understanding over everything. Respect.
@@monokuromasu2409 Word! 💪Respect!
@@ApartmentMaintenance very true! I did maintenance for 6 years straight at the same company. Took a break and focused on HVAC. Now that I'm close to finishing up. I think I may go back. I miss easy maintenance days like this. But I also miss the crazy days. Winter time I did most of all the water pipe leak repairs with help. Those were easy days to me
@@tempakilla Nice! I need a Tech at my property in South Carolina. The person would have their own golf cart for daily use, 3 man on call rotation which the property has been well maintained over it's existence so emergency calls are limited. No snow removal etc, mainly AC call from March until November.
Great video Broseph!!👍
Thanks for watching man 👍
Great video
Thanks for watching Jamal & subscribe to the channel if you're not already bro 👍
Do your disposals not have the hole on the bottom with the little allen wrench to un jam it? Always wondered why you and Lex use that wrench.
No that style disposal doesn't have the opening at the bottom for the Allen key. You have to use the disposal wrench. Thanks for watching Paul 👍
Just curious but what causes the unit to jam up that it can be cleared in that manner? I ask because I cannot see how anything substantial causing the jam could cleared in that manner??
@@peterevans8194 could be anything, usually something hard that gets jammed around the outside edge which doesn't allow the bottom to spin. By turning it with a disposal wrench you are releasing the jammed item then you can pick up whatever the piece is. Thanks for watching Peter & Subscribe to the channel 👍
Lex Vance from The Dirty Maintenance guy had mentioned you so here I am giving all the videos a watch, thank you for the content - makes me feel much more confident starting off in the industry!
Appreciate that Omnious42. Lex is a good dude & technician. I have plenty of content to watch & plenty more to come. Thanks for watching & subscribing. 👍
You might put some Loctite on those knob/ lock screws.
Great idea! I'm always up for other ideas or other ways to do things. You can never think you know everything or think your way is the only way. Appreciate the comment Ncooty! Thanks for watching & help support the channel by subscribing 🛠️👍
Poor taste in beer 🍺. Lol
I even went to led in our fridge.
It saves a small amount of electricity and also puts out less heat when it's on.
Haha I agree! LED lights are the way to go. I have to get what's in the budget though, I have LEDs in everything else around the property the refrigerators & ovens would be last to get changed over but in my home everything is LED. Thanks for watching BWs Electronic 👍
@@ApartmentMaintenance Just go on HD Supply and buy some LED bulbs. You can get them in 2700K, 3000K, 4100K, And 5000K color temperatures. And they use only 9 watts for a 60W equivalent. They are also shatter-resistant.
So satisfying
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching nemehart8534 & help support the channel by subscribing 🛠️👍
Damn, I thought I was an annoying tenant. People are putting in maintenance requests for replacing light bulbs and tightening screws…
These better be handicap or elderly.
@@Aurelius-cy8we No they are paying top dollar for rent & the company wants us to provide a good service & unfortunately bulbs are included lol. But I hear ya on what your saying. Thanks for watching & help support the channel by subscribing 🛠️👍
solid video bro you really nailed some of the more common work orders! to the 10 dislikes ..grow up!
That's the only point I was trying to get across was just showing the more common work orders one would see more often than not. But you know there's always someone out there who has to be negative towards it. As if these were all my work orders in one day that I filmed or something. It is what it is. Appreciate you Mr. Yuk & Thanks for watching brother 👍
I just replace the whole tub drain lol. Especially because it might rust sooner or later or in case they move out wont have to do that part for my turn
Nice! Keep up the good work. Thanks for watching Octavio & Subscribe to the channel 👍
Cool
Thanks for watching Chevy Guy 👍
Do you have a breakdown of all the typical work orders listed out?
I don't but that's something I could do. Of course every property is different depending on what type of appliances, HVAC systems, swimming pool, etc... But there are normal everyday work orders that every property has that is similar. Thanks for watching PMG & subscribe to the channel 👍
Great video brother
Thanks for watching man 👍
nice and easy
Yes sir! Thanks for watching TP Services 👍
Wait. There are people who don’t know to press the reset button on a gfci switch? I’m not judging, I’m genuinely surprised.
That's correct. You'd be surprised at how many people don't know about the reset button on a GFCI. Thanks for watching CarlYota & subscribe to the channel 👍
Do you get apartments where tenants trashed leaving garbage smashed door cupboards smashed stove broken window
Definitely get a bad one here & there. For the most part my property is pretty good. There's always a tenant who either leaves furniture, or some items behind or if someone skips out they usually aren't the cleanest people. I don't have broken windows or broken cabinet doors though. Great question David. Thanks for watching & help support the channel by subscribing 🛠️👍
We have LED lights throughout our whole apartment. With a few incandescents.
👍
I' know to do all that and much more
Nice! I'm looking for a technician. Where are you located?
Wow looks identical to the apartments I work at
Niceeee 👍 Where at ? Thanks for watching Creek Raider & Subscribe to the channel 👍
Good
Thanks for watching Donnie 👍
And here I am sitting in my turn watching another maintenance guy do work orders 🤣🤣🤣
Don’t worry my turns are all done just passing time until the next one ☝️also your garbage disposal suck I like the ones where you can Allen key the bottom 😄
Hey nothing wrong with watching a few Maintenance videos while your at work 😜 Somehow I didn't see your comment the other day until now I was going through them to make sure I didn't miss any & came across yours and 2 others, either TH-cam didn't notify me or I missed it. Thanks for watching bro & hope your Subscribed 👍
Oh & yes those GE disposals I have do suck!! I like the Badger disposals, that's what I had at my old property in Pennsylvania.
That gfci is wired in the wrong part of the series. It should be at the end of the series.
Thanks for watching JaJuan 👍
First vid,honestly not fond of the opening, there's a ton of new guys and us old folks need good help!! Don't scare them off early, please help train!!!
Hello Stephen, Appreciate the feedback which I like all feedback, good or bad. That's an older video with the old video Intro. Watch one of my last 10 videos or so, & you will see the new Intro which is only 5 or 6 seconds & it's not music, it's the sound of a drill. Thanks for the constructive criticism Stephen & Thanks for watching as well. Hope you subscribed to the channel 👍 Lots more content to come
Hi
I really want to get this training
But I don’t know where I can go
The best thing to do is just enter the industry at a property & learn on the job from a maintenance supervisor, maintenance technicians & company provided trainings which they will pay for. Every company is short staffed with maintenance guys so it won't be hard to get in somewhere. Hope that helps & make sure you subscribe to the channel so you can learn the trade & everything we do on a day to day basis. Thanks for watching Rick 🛠️👍
how much does this kind of job pays on average in a city with apartment buildings or college town? And what does it take to get it? Thanks
It all depends on a person's skill level, if they have any certifications, years experience, the city you're located in, the company, etc....Almost every property management company is looking for maintenance techs and supervisors. There's not enough good ones out there. If you're just starting out, you would start as a porter/grounds guy or make ready tech (person who gets the apts ready for new move in) then you can start doing small work orders & learn from the techs or supervisor. A company will pay for you to get your EPA license so you can legally work with refrigerant, of course that license doesn't teach you how to fix hvac equipment but legally allows u handle/transport/recover/charge all refrigerants & shows that you know the laws. But on average I would say an entry level person can make between $15-$18 an hour. Once u become a technician u can make between $20-$26 an hour & once u become a supervisor u can make between $27-$35 an hour of course all the factors I mentioned above play a role in salary. It's a good career to get into if you're serious about it. Thanks for watching engineerreuler1762 & subscribe to the channel 👍
@@ApartmentMaintenance Great. That is the longest reply I ever had and I feel guilty for costing you that much time. I hope the question and your above and beyond answer helps as many people as possible. Is there a way that I can contact you (email, skype, zoom, phone, ...etc) to work something together and help more people on the way? The numbers you mentioned are about what I expected and even a little more optimistic. A few other questions that are as important, e.g. for a large fancy high rise downtown (which should be the best in terms of pay, I guess), could there be more specialized maintenance people (probably on call), like electrical guy, plumbing guy, HVAC guy, major repair/installation or major clean up guy...etc? and your tips and tricks for getting into this business if you are already fluent in one of those areas but not a licensed journeyman are very appreciated if you add them in a video or text. Another idea is what are the best and worst things that could happen in this kind of job. Finally, can't thank you enough and God bless
@@engineereuler1762 No worries. My email is listed on my "About" page on my channel. You can email me there and ask whatever questions u have.
WhichnLED bulbs do you folks buy?
I buy the Lumera A-19 3000k LED Bulbs from Chadwell supply to replace the regular incandescent medium base bulbs. I have track lighting in the kitchens which are the GU24 base bulbs & I buy the Satco GU24 2700k bulbs from bulbs.com or the Westinghouse GU24 2700k bulbs from Chadwell. Thanks for watching NETWizzJBirk 👍

Apartment Maintenance Thank you. We will place on order for the 3000k units. Only now wish I could get the compactor up and running and that there wasn’t 150 bags thrown in front of it.... but thr contractor comes Thursday
@@NETWizzJbirk I've been there that's for sure!! I try to fix mine when I can but if something major is wrong I have a maintenance contract with the trash company that comes and fixes it on the spot and if it's anything major that they can't fix that day they will bring a roll off out and sit it there until mine can get repaired.
Apartment Maintenance Asked for a roll off... we were told to relocate the bags into a pile on the far corner of the property out of sight. Thus far it takes almost an entire golf cart’s battery to make that many trips across the property. Best part is after it’s fixed it will take a free days to get it all back and compacted
@@NETWizzJbirk Wow that sucks! My management company wouldn't tell me to do that, I would make the call to not move them or tell them, you want them moved and brought back, here's the golf cart have at it!
The fun part is ripping up carpet and pad soaked with urine.
Yeah I've done that enough times. Ripped it all out & sealed the floors underneath before the carpet installers come & install the new padding & carpet. Thanks for watching Paul & Subscribe to the channel 👍
Hey Guys I’m in New York city I need training what’s the name of the trade school for this type of profession
There really isn't a trade school for Maintenance. Some guys either have a background in one of the fields such as HVAC, plumbing, electrical, appliance repair, carpentry etc....The most common route is to start out as a grounds guy or porter. It's basically the same title but different companies call it different things. Your not cutting grass or anything like that but you start out doing small work orders & getting apartments ready for new move in's. You learn from your supervisor and other techs. All the management companies will pay for a person to get their EPA Certification so you can handle refrigerant in air conditioning, & they will pay for the person to get their CPO which stands for Certified Pool Operator & then you can take care of the swimming pool. The national apartment association also has a course that you take & if you pass the test you get your CAM-T. Which is a Certified Apartment Maintenance Technician. There's plenty of companies hiring, just search indeed for "apartment maintenance" & read the ads until you find one you're comfortable with & submit your resume. The industry is short staffed so everyone is looking for Maintenance. Hope all that information helps out. Thanks for watching & help support the channel by subscribing 🛠️👍
@@ApartmentMaintenance thank you so much. This advice is solid.
I would never turn in a work order for a light bulb or for someone to come tighten a few screws. People are lazy.
I hear ya. Some people take full advantage of the on-site maintenance personnel. Thanks for watching Storm177 & help support the channel by subscribing 🛠️👍
My wife had me do everything in my apartment.. Maintenance came in to replace the garbage disposal and said that we Must contact them for everything.. As it needs to be documented and properly paid for.. I wasn’t doing them any favors.. Now I own my own home and is searching for work as a Maitenance tech..
This may be random and but I’m nervous about moving to my new apartment as they say maintenance can enter without notice. How often do you guys do “routine” checks? I literally just don’t want maintenance walking around my place with their shoes on lol I hate that I’ll even offer shoe covers
Well AJ, any management company I worked for we did not enter anyone's apartment unless they submitted a service request, or there was an emergency. For example, you live on the 2nd floor & your at work, the downstairs neighbor calls the office saying water is leaking or pouring down through their ceiling. That's the only type of situation that we have ever entered an apartment without the resident requesting us. Of course when that happens the office staff would call the resident of the apartment we were about to enter for a reason like that. The routine checks your referring to that we do are quarterly Maintenance, those checks aren't to see what a resident is doing, it's to maintain the apt with things such as replacing the air filter, testing the smoke detectors or replacing the batteries in the smoke detectors, check the toilets, faucets, & make sure there's no leaks under the sinks. The reason the management company does this is to make sure the preventive maintenance is being done because there's alot of residents who don't say anything when there's Maintenance issues such as a toilet leaking, faucet leaking, replacing the air filter, or making sure the smoke detectors work. One other inspection we do is the annual fire inspection, which the fire extinguisher employee would be on site all day and someone from maintenance would go with them into each apartment while he services the fire extinguishers. Other than that Maintenance won't enter your home without the resident asking for something. When there's a quarterly preventative Maintenance coming up all residents are notified by email, & notices put out on every door a week or 2 ahead of time, same with the fire extinguisher inspection that is once a year. So I wouldn't be nervous, just make sure the company that runs the community your moving to is a good one. Thanks for watching & Subscribe to the channel 👍
@@ApartmentMaintenance thanks!! That makes me feel better. It’s a new apartment building I’ve just seen a lot of TH-cam videos of maintenance workers entering and snooping. It’s in Georgia and I don’t believe they’re required to give notice. You brought up some good scenarios I’ll make sure to use that tomorrow when I sign my lease. Thanks again !!
@@AJ-lf2tz yeah this one morning I woke up to maintenance stumbling into my apartment without notice and I had weed, bongs, and joints laying all around. So just watch yourself
nah you cant just run up into a unit there has to be prior notice given and then maintenance will usually ask for PTE (permission to enter) only time maint will enter without notice is if something in your unit is affecting other units ..usually fire/flood type scenarios.
Hay quá

What kind of g/d a Allen wrench I what I normally use
Lol I'm still old school
These GE disposals don't have the opening at the bottom for the disposal for a allen key. They have the reset button, but that's it. Gotta use that style of a disposal wrench I used in the video, or a big flat head screwdriver 🪛 will work as well. Thanks for watching Stephen 👍
I obviously don't know anything lol. Why is there foil around the lightbulb area? What's the purpose of it? Educate me please.
The foil is the backing of the insulation. It helps deflect the heat from the light bulbs away from the electrical wires which are located above the fixture. Thanks for watching thesolitarywitch4908 & subscribe to the channel 👍
@@ApartmentMaintenance Thank you so much. Of course, I'll subscribe! I'd love to learn more. I'm trying to learn basic maintenance and maybe a little electrical. I used to take painting and remodeling as a trade at a vocational school. I've forgotten some of the things I've learned and wanted to relearn them and expand my knowledge. Thank you so much!
@@thesolitarywitch4908 No problem! Thanks for watching 👍
How long does the hvac cert requirement take
Get a study guide & whenever you're ready to take your exam just schedule it & pass. Now by passing the exam doesn't mean you know how to fix things, it legally allows you to purchase, recover, transport, & charge a system. You need to either work under someone who teaches you or go to a HVAC school to learn how to work on the equipment. Thanks for watching Frank & subscribe to the channel if you're not already 👍
Thanks bro. I start my job At holiday inn tomorrow as lead maintenance engineer but my goal is to get experience on paper to later apply for an apartment complex . So the journey begins tomorrow . Thanks again boss .

@@ApartmentMaintenance oh ok i just wanted to support anyways
@@nexobro348 I appreciate it & thanks for the comment & watching. Plenty more videos to come.
That's a cheap disposal.
It's a GE Garbage Disposal, retails for $85, But I agree with you that they are cheap. I prefer the Badger disposals which are much quieter, & can be unjammed with the disposal key (Allen Key). Unfortunately my property has all these GE disposals though. Good to hear from you, it's been awhile. Thanks for watching Mr. Tibbs 👍
where is that job
Lol right?? These are just "common" mundane work orders I chose to put into one video to show new techs the most common work orders to expect daily. Thanks for watching Herbert & help support the channel by subscribing 🛠️👍
Wait you get paid for this??
You sure denney chavez 👍 Those are the most common work orders that come in each day, bulbs, tub or sink drains, garbage disposals, etc....Of course you have your No AC or No Heat work orders depending on what time of year it is, Appliance repairs (Refrigerator, Stove, Dishwasher, Microwave, Washer & Dryer) work orders, Plumbing, Electrical, Carpentry, along with Operating a swimming pool, but the idea of this video is to show new technicians coming into the Multi-Family industry what the mundane work orders are. Believe me, an apartment Community owner isn't going to pay a contractor or handyman to come do these types of calls. Just look up "The Handyman" youtube channel & you will see some of the crazy easy mundane things he goes & does that pay very well, like going & changing a smoke detector battery or resetting a GFCI outlet, which is great for him of course. But not all companies want to pay for that kind of service for each service request so they hire on site maintenance staff to handle the daily work orders, getting apartments ready for the next resident, swimming pool operation, etc.... It's a great industry & if your with the right company you will make a good living for your family. Thanks for watching & Subscribe to the channel 👍
Lol..please tell me that's your modal in the first one
Nope, not the model apartment lol 👍 Thanks for watching Stephen & Subscribe to the channel 💪
@@ApartmentMaintenance Also if you buy more light bulbs. I’d recommend you going on HD Supply they have a wider range of color temperatures. You can get them in a 6 pack and an expensive 100 pack. You can also get 24 packs. Also that looks like a cheap garbage disposal. Most new places I’ve seen use the Badger disposals. I’ve seen some hotels use GE disposals.
@@homeguestunton It was about $80 several years ago. I don't like that style of disposal like I currently have at my property that you have to use a disposal wrench down inside it. I prefer the badger disposals that take the allen key underneath. 👌
Great video
Thanks for watching Juan 👍
THE PROBLEM WITH HOUSEKEEPING IS THAT SOMETIME THEY INVOLVE YOU WITH THE MAINTANCE DEPARTMENT I CALL THAT UNPROFESSIONALISM, I DONT MIND CLEANING BUT DONT SENT ME TO DO SOMETHING I WAS NOT HIRED FOR AND PAY ME THE SAME. ALSO SOMETIME MAINTANCE MANAGERS WHO ARE HIRED IN A A COMISSION BASE TRY TO EVEN MAKE YOU DO JOBS THAT ARE OUT OF YOUR CONTRACT LIKE REMOVING SNOW OR DO WORKS THAT SHOLD BE DONE BY A CONTRACTOR, ALOT OF MANAGERS DO THIS SO THAT THEY CAN SPLIT THE ANUAL EXPENSES AND TAKE IT AS A BONUS WHICH AS RESULT ONLY AFFECTS THE EMPLOYEE BECAUSE THEY KEEP OVER LOADING THEM WITH WORK AND LEAVING BEHIND THEIR OWN DUTIES.
