Work Orders.

[@benjamintimmins1656]

I'm glad I found you a couple months back. This is the kind of maint videos a tech like me likes to watch!

[@ApartmentMaintenancePro]

Thanks for watching Benjamin! 🙏

[@davidblankinsop933]

That laundry line would be getting re-plumbed if I had seen that. WAAAAY to many ferncos. 😂

[@gerardoluna1568]

Thanks a lot for these videos. They help a lot 🙏

[@BrentKiley]

Loving the vlogs. Fun to watch and see all the stuff you deal with. Also good to pickup some tips on certain fixes!

[@ApartmentMaintenancePro]

Thanks for watching Brent! 🙏

My dad and I had a construction business for over a decade, the double up on wax ring was a common practice for us as it insured us and the customer that there would be no leaking in the future. Great tip. People who frown on that need to get their heads out their butts. Its a common thing to do when one wax ring isnt sealing properly.

[@ApartmentMaintenancePro]

Thanks MrFizz, I know a lot of plumbers frown upon it especially the tik toks but I know a lot that swear by it as well. It works.

I do HVAC & commercial kitchen service but always love to learn more and your videos have helped expand my knowledge. If you ever still get complaints after using triple D cleaner they make a no rinse evap cleaner by nucalgon that we’ve had great success with. Even if you use the Triple D first and just spray some of the nucalgon no rinse cleaner after it always gives it a fresh smell. I’ve found it helpful to always have a few cans around as a back up just in case the triple D doesn’t do it. Keep up the vids just found your channel a week ago and have been catching up on all the videos.

[@ApartmentMaintenancePro]

Thank you will check it out 👍

[@jordanprischak7976]

Hey man, love the videos, only thing I would have done on that toilet differently is fixed the flange or added a Oatey flange spacer or two to fix the flange so its raised above the flooring/tile. I've seen guys do the double wax ring before, not saying it won't stop the leak but eventually the wax will break down and it will leak again. Again, just throwing some tips to a fellow maintenance tech!! Keep up the great work!!

[@ApartmentMaintenancePro]

Thanks for the feedback Jordan! 👍

[@thejoey993]

[@ApartmentMaintenancePro]

Thanks for checking out the clog JoeyG !! 👍

[@snakeplissken128]

End of the video was great..can imagine walking into the room and see you talking to your refrigerator 😄

[@watchyourtonex6989]

ive doubled wax rings afew times sometimes it is needed to make it have a proper connection.

[@ApartmentMaintenancePro]

Thanks ! 🙏

[@natashaball316]

I got a pair of crescent 13'' needle nose pliers for sink and tub drains, pretty handy for fishing for dropped items in too! Thanks for the video!

What a way to finish the day with a ice cold beer hard work always pays off

You’re awesome. Dang, I wish I lived near you. I know you could help me with so many issues, and you’d make it look easy. Thank, great guy. 👍👑👍💚

[@ApartmentMaintenancePro]

Thanks for watching Kevin 👍

[@michaelplays2449]

Great video !!!!

[@Ol_red_beard_maintenance]

Great videos Dave. Love the see the work.

[@ApartmentMaintenancePro]

Thank you 🙏

[@LogicallyInsane1]

Holy Mother of Ferncos lol. Good job with the toilet wax ring. Mystery leaks can be fun or absolute torture on some days. Anytime i cant figure something out, it's always nice to put fresh eyes on it.

[@ApartmentMaintenancePro]

Thanks for watching Wes King! 👍

[@geraldalfano5581]

I use the Saniseal waxless toilet gasket. It is good for situations where the closet flange is below floor level and a lot more forgiving than wax if the toilet moves. Only drawback three times the cost of wax but a labor saver.

[@ApartmentMaintenancePro]

Thanks Gerald! Will look into those 👍

[@NGONGGILBERT]

Am so glad to come across your works sir,, I really enjoying doing this this job and i experience in this job for 4 years i which I can have a chance to work with you or in your company

[@megadethguym7977]

Apartment maintenance is one of the most secured jobs you can ever get.

[@MORGANSMaintenance]

Good stuff… thanks for the videos 👍

[@ApartmentMaintenancePro]

Appreciate it Morgan ! 🪠

[@SomeMaintenaceGuy]

Had a similar issue today, leak was right above the tub same problem with the unit above having nothing overflowing no obvious leaks, so we opened up the shower handle and sure enough found the spindle was leaking

[@tinaday4228]

I would like a link to the spray bottle and brush you use on the a/c fins and pan. Start an Amazon link to the products/tools you use to get a little kick back!

[@bobbywanger8123]

👍👍👍👍🔥

[@evanfurn920]

HD supply. We will get you your whole order but it's gonna come from multiple locations and only partial orders at any given time. We may even meet it up to make sure you get stuff from 2 orders and no packing slip enclosed sticker. That was my day after lunch today. But hey got a thermostat in for a fridge I've been waiting on and a defrost timer for my own fridge so I don't have to manually advance it into defrost every morning and night.

[@ApartmentMaintenancePro]

I know they give us the option to have it all delivered at once but I’ve made that mistake before - sometimes parts show up months later lol

[@evanfurn920]

@@ApartmentMaintenancePro it's not so bad really. Allows for you to clear work orders as they come in one by one instead of getting them all at once and trying to get them all done as fast as possible.

[@stangaloski4208]

I use double wax all the time but without the funnel. If you set a toilet and don't feel it sink into the wax you should pull it back off and look. The guy that set that toilet screwed up.

[@ApartmentMaintenancePro]

Thanks Stan. I’ve never had a problem with double wax I know some plumbers swear it’s the worst thing ever though

[@mrcoollu9662]

You need a vacation you work a lot

[@ApartmentMaintenancePro]

Haha yes. Last vacation I took was in June kzbin.info/www/bejne/oYi1mZltraidbNE

[@christov4120]

Triple D is great stuff.

[@ApartmentMaintenancePro]

I love it - but it in bulk and it goes such a long way 👍

[@cocoloco4twinny]

$24 an hour for a Skilled Maintenance person is criminal.

[@jamalbenthall151]

Do you always use 2 wax rings? Do the toilet sit the same or higher?

[@Mandy_39]

This was an interesting one, you definitely stay busy! Does all that lint still build up in your dryer if you clean it after every use? Do you always work in that same building or do you travel around to other buildings?

[@ApartmentMaintenancePro]

Hey, that lint was probably 20 years of build up. I’m a multi site floater and work about 8-9 properties. Whoever is the most short handed is where i work 👍

[@Mandy_39]

@@ApartmentMaintenancePro well in that case for 20 years that wasn't so bad 😂

[@noahholt482]

Double Wax ring but no double horn

[@ApartmentMaintenancePro]

Thanks for the tip :)

[@podcastdelinvestisseurpauv6466]

witch softwere do you use for your work orders ?

[@evanfurn920]

Gonna get crap for this huh? I see what you did there. Sometimes you just gotta improvise adapt and overcome. On occasion I've used the larger wax rings and had them work but sometimes you just gotta use 2 rings.

[@ApartmentMaintenancePro]

Yes sir - I know they have those adapters but we didn’t have any and if we did I probably still would’ve used 2 rings anyway

[@roelgarzajr9392]

What company do you work for

[@tonyhoeper2129]

Not a good idea to use the wax with funnel

[@tonyhoeper2129]

Leaks down the road
