Common maintenance issues
Many issues can be quickly remedied without a visit from our Maintenance team. Try out these quick steps before calling your Housing Officer or 1300 312 447 .
Electricity If your electricity switches off unexpectedly, check your meter board as the fuse wire could be broken or a circuit breaker switch could have flicked off. You can check network outages to your area by calling TasNetworks on 132 004 or visiting www.tasnetworks.com.au/ outages.
Hot water cylinder If your water pressure drops or you hear a banging sound in your pipes, this could be an air lock. If you live in a stand alone property, you can fix this by lifting the pressure relief valve for five seconds. We recommended doing this every three months. If the problem continues, call your Housing Officer or 1300 312 447 to report the issue.
