What to check before calling a contractor?

No water

  • Check the Water Corporation website for any water outages in your area
  • Check the main water tap to your property has not been turned off by accident

No power

  • Check the Western Power website for any power outages in your area
  • Check whether your RCDs have tripped.
    If an RCD is tripping, please unplug all your appliances, reset your RCD, and plug your appliances in one by one to check whether the trip is due to a faulty appliance or power point.
    If the fault is due to your appliance the owner is not liable to repair this and if a contractor is called you will be issued an invoice for the associated costs.

No hot water

  • Electric Unit
    Check all RCDs are in the on position and there is no Western Power fault in your area.
    Check the power point is in working order, where applicable.
  • Gas Unit
    Check if the pilot light is lit.
    If the pilot light needs to be re-lit you will need to follow the steps on the unit, or search the manual, to re-light the system. 
    Please ensure you are following the steps as outlined on the HWS

Blocked drains 

  • Please try a suitable method to unblock the drains/toilet. This may include the use of drain cleaner or a plunger, where applicable. 
  • If you are using a drain cleaner, please ensure you follow the instructions on the packaging for the type of drain, and use any protective wear recommended.
    If the blocked drains are caused by a build-up of grease, or items being put into the drains you may be liable for the cost of the invoice.
    Please ensure you are not putting food / fat / grease / oil / wipes / newspaper / toys etc into drains and toilets.

Urgent repairs

Urgent repairs fall into two categories: essential services and other urgent repairs.
 
Essential Services Essential services are listed in the Residential Tenancies Regulations 1989 and include repairs to:
  • a burst water service,
  • gas leaks,
  • a broken hot water system,
  • sewerage leaks, or
  • dangerous electrical faults.
Other Urgent Repairs
Other urgent repairs are not essential services, but if not fixed might cause damage to the premises, injure a person, or cause undue hardship to the tenant.
 
More information can be found on the DEMIRS website.
 
If your maintenance request is not classified as an urgent repair, you will have to wait for the next working day.
 
You can report your maintenance request online through your tenant portal. It's important to note that if a contractor has been called to the property outside of business hours and the work is not considered an urgent repair, or if it falls under the tenant's responsibility to maintain and repair, you will be issued an invoice for the associated costs.
