Maintenance Requests That Get Results

Maintenance Requests That Get Results

Something breaks, leaks, or stops working — what now? A clear maintenance request can make all the difference between quick action and frustrating delays.

How to Submit a Strong Request

  • Be Specific: Instead of “the sink doesn’t work,” say “the kitchen faucet is dripping constantly, even when turned off.”
  • Include Details: Photos or videos can help maintenance teams see the problem before they arrive.
  • Prioritize Urgency: Note if it’s urgent (like no heat in winter) or non-urgent (like a loose cabinet handle).

Follow-Up Respectfully

  • Give reasonable time for response before checking in.
  • Always keep communication polite — it goes a long way.

πŸ‘‰ Bottom line: The clearer your request, the faster and more effective the repair process will be.
