1. Post-Construction Work A. Fixture and Structural Restoration: Re-installing, re-securing, or rebuilding fixtures that were previously removed, including fencing, skirting, decks, stairways, ramps, and pavers. Non-urgent B. Relocation of Yard Items: Returning all large yard items, planters, and other objects to their original or designated locations. Non-urgent 2. Work Needed as a Result of Construction Minor, in-unit fixes to plumbing, electrical, HVAC issues or Carpentry issues A. Plumbing-Related Scenarios ● Low Water Pressure After Water Main Work: After a water shutoff and reconnection, sediment enters a unit’s faucet aerator or showerhead, restricting flow. The handyman needs to purge the line and clean or replace the fixture. Semi-Urgent ● Leaking Connection at a Shutoff Valve: When the water is turned back on, pressure changes cause a minor leak at a sink’s shutoff valve or at a washing machine connection that wasn’t previously noticeable. Semi-Urgent ● Toilet Not Refilling Properly: Air trapped in the plumbing line or debris in the fill valve prevents the toilet tank from refilling. The handyman would inspect, clear debris, and adjust or replace the fill valve. Semi-Urgent ● Hot Water Delay or Temperature Fluctuation: After system flushing, hot water lines develop air pockets or scale buildup, requiring line bleeding or faucet aerator cleaning. Semi-Urgent B. Electrical-Related Scenarios ● GFCI Outlet Trips During Construction: Temporary power fluctuations or moisture exposure cause GFCI outlets (often near kitchens or bathrooms) to trip. The handyman would reset or replace the outlet if necessary. Semi-Urgent ● Outdoor Light Not Functioning: A porch or exterior light loses power due to reconnection work or moisture intrusion; requires checking bulbs, wiring, or switch continuity. Non-Urgent C. HVAC-Related Scenarios ● Air Conditioner Not Turning On After Power Cycling: Following power shutoffs, the thermostat or condenser needs resetting or a fuse replaced. Semi-Urgent ● Furnace Pilot or Igniter Malfunction: If gas or electrical service was temporarily disconnected, the furnace may need a simple restart or igniter inspection. Semi-Urgent ● Clogged or Dusty Air Filter: Construction dust enters ducts or filters, causing reduced airflow—requiring filter replacement and minor cleaning. Semi-Urgent ● Disconnected Vent or Duct Panel: Heavy vibration from nearby digging knocks a flexible duct loose, resulting in poor heating/cooling distribution that needs reconnection. Semi-Urgent D. Carpentry-Related Scenarios ● Exterior Facade Damage: Vibrations or nearby excavation affect the home’s exterior siding or skirting, requiring minor carpentry repairs to restore the facade to its original condition. ● Window Damage: A window cracks or breaks due to construction-related vibrations or accidental impact, requiring the purchase and installation of a replacement unit. ● Structural Shifting or Cracking: Minor settling or shifting of the home during construction results in cracks in trim, framing, or paneling, requiring assessment and repair to ensure stability and appearance.
