Repairs in Oakland
15213 is Oakland: the University of Pittsburgh and Carnegie Mellon, the UPMC hospitals, the Carnegie museums on Forbes Avenue, and the residential streets of North, Central, South and West Oakland around them.
The neighborhoods in 15213 all belong to the City of Pittsburgh; on our map they fall under Oakland & Shadyside.
Most residents rent. Central and South Oakland are lined with older houses cut into student apartments, and larger apartment buildings stand nearer the hospitals. The appliances usually belong to the landlord, and the washer is often in a basement shared by several units.
Before we come to Oakland
Leases here tend to follow the academic year, so the person reporting a fault may have moved in only weeks ago. Tenants should get the owner's okay before booking; owners can send us the tenant's contact and we'll set the visit up with them directly.
Many people, one washer
A washer in a shared house in Oakland runs far more loads than the family machine it was designed to be. Overloaded drums, coins in the pump and too much detergent are regular reasons for breakdowns.
A pump filter cleaned now and then, and loads sized to the drum, keep a shared machine going. We'll show whoever is home where the filter is.
Gas appliances in older homes
Natural gas runs a lot of ranges, dryers and water heaters in Oakland. A gas range that clicks without lighting, or an oven that takes ages to heat, usually points to an igniter or a burner part, and those are routine repairs.
A smell of gas is different. Leave the house, call the gas utility's emergency number from outside, and book an appliance repair only after they've cleared it.
For landlords
If you own a rental in Oakland, you don't have to be there for the visit. Pass along your tenant's number and the model details. We'll schedule with the tenant, report the fault and the cost to you, and hold off until you approve.
Once it's done, you receive a brief written note of the fault and the repair, handy to keep with the unit's paperwork.
