If power goes out in your home check to see if it is isolated to your home or if it is affecting your entire neighborhood. First contact your utility company to see if there are power outages due to storms or electrical utility work. In where the power outage is isolated to your home check your circuit breaker panel. Ensure that all breakers are set to the on position and that the main breaker is set to on. Occasionally circuit breakers will turn slightly off and it may not be evident so turn it all the way off and then all the way on again. Listen for the click of the breaker going into position. Drains Please keep drains free of foreign debris, hair, and food; if you clog a drain and a plumber is requested it is the tenant's responsibility to take care of this bill. Please remove all food from dishes to loading your dishwasher, large and small food particles can cause clogs in the appliance. A mix of hot water and bleach or hot water and white vinegar mixed with mild degreaser will keep drains running smoothly. If you are looking to use a strong drain cleaner such as Drano please contact the property management staff to ensure it is safe to use at the leased property. If you are worried hair or toys going down the drain please purchase a drain screen to keep these items from causing issues. Garbage Disposals Always run when the appliance is in use to avoid damaging the unit, please run for a few seconds after the appliances has been turned off to rinse away any debris. Disposals are designed for the grinding of most organic items. Never put the following items in the appliance: cooked pasta, bones, banana peels, egg shells, artichoke leaves and stalks, celery stalks, potato peelings, dry or cooked rice, paper, plastic, glass, foil, grease or drain cleaner into the appliance. If appliance is not working, and you have not used it, please ensure that the appliance is plugged in (outlet is typically the sink), hit the reset button if available, and ensure that the breaker has not been triggered to the off position. Any problems caused by the user will be the responsibility of the tenant to repair. Ovens/Stoves/Refrigerators Please keep all interior and exterior surfaces of the appliances clean and free of grease, magnets, and heavy food particles.
