HOTEL MAINTENANCE 101

[@Chiefbeach300]

Glad I found this channel. I just started working for the Hampton Inn doing maintenance.

[@isaacvasquez5349]

Hey, how is working there? I’m just applying to work in that hotel for the same position.

[@CalebSmith-gg1dt]

About to start hotel maintenance training today. This video helped me feel a bit calmer about it as I have no experience so thanks for posting this

[@zoomavlogs]

No problem. Good luck

[@Pr0ph3cy-k5z]

How is your job going?

[@CalebSmith-gg1dt]

@VenomX It's been going really good, I learned a lot recently and its not as hard as I thought. Lots of painting, toilet calls, pee traps, and keurig calls. About to start shadowing day shift for a little bit more experience.

[@Pr0ph3cy-k5z]

@@CalebSmith-gg1dt Great. I just applied for the same position at Days Inn.

[@rogeliohdz13]

How’s it going? I’m having a interview tomorrow about maintenance

[@leonobrega1418]

I have been doing pool maintenance for a while now and would like to add that the pool filter selector valve should be rotated clockwise only. Also the correct sequence for pool filter cleaning is backwash, rinse then filtration. I hope that helps, keep up the good work.

[@danielmulholland5869]

Why clockwise only?

[@leonobrega1418]

@@danielmulholland5869 Because I read the manual

[@cariandchristianrayfield6333]

[@skilledblack4175]

​@danielmulholland5869 because you can damage it

[@STRANGERORWAYFARER]

How long on backwash & rinse? 10 minutes each?

[@jordanhenshaw]

No sir. 10:48. You just made it 1,000 times easier to break into that room. That’s your deadlocking plunger, the bottom, smaller latch. That piece’s job is to prevent shimming attacks. It’s supposed to be forced into the door like that. When depressed, it prevents the main latch from depressing. When the door is shut, the deadlocking plunger is supposed to stay depressed so it is activated. If it’s getting caught, that should be addressed without disabling the function.

I teach a hotel facilities management class (housekeeping and a little bit of maintenance). I love this video and will be sharing it with my class. You really captured a day in the life of a maintenance person. I also love how you advocate for the housekeepers and clean up after yourself! Thank you for posting.

[@jorgebonilla6017]

Try work around your top and middle hinges with longer screws as the weight of the door will make it lose level and fall down, and most probably will save you a lot of time on trimming the frame and frame's plate. I get similar problems on my doors

[@evanfurn920]

That's a golden rule, always clean up after yourself and wherever possible and practical leave it better than you found it.

[@zoomavlogs]

Absolutely 🙏

[@James-gp2uf]

No amount of training can prepare you for hotel maintenance this guy makes it look easy And is a great engineer he takes pride in his work. Experience is alot.

[@zoomavlogs]

Thank you so much for that awesome comment 🙏

[@PolloNugget91]

Love Ur videos I just got into hotel maintenance in Vegas about 2 months ago Ur videos have help alot. Keep doing Ur thing man.!!

[@zoomavlogs]

Awesome!! Good Luck and if you need any advice hit me up

[@danielfarmer6003]

I'm starting my new job as a maintenance operative next week, great videos!

[@rogeliohdz13]

How’s it going?

[@herlemaggard69]

10 min backwash? Never heard of that before, i do ours for 1 or until sightglass clear

[@TheMnoer48]

I’ve been out of work with an injury for the last two months. This video popped up on my feed and it is exactly what I do at work but we don’t have a pool. Union pay rates this is one of the best jobs in the industry.

[@albertosuarez6758]

I like watching your videos, I work for Marriott and just love it !!!

[@darkstarmatter5678]

You can add tech support to your resume now, lol.

[@ronlebron4876]

Thank man starting my new job soon thanks will be watching

[@rkmatt8761]

I’m a hotel maintenance at a Hilton property! Things can surely get interesting during the day! Your pool filter setup is way different than the one I deal with! I even have to deal with a spa. Out pool and spa are salt water which is hard on our pool equipment. I’ve had door issues as you did I usually take the screws out of the bottom of hinge side and lift with a pry bar then put the screws back in. Usually takes care of the issue. You seem to be a more patient of a guy then I am. I can tell by how you speak. The one downside of being a maintenance man is being on call 24/7 but it’s what is expected with the job. Great job your doing stay safe and stay healthy

[@hankplays7606]

Thankfully if everything is tip top you get called in less! Unless fire or other emergency

[@mrtamayo85]

Nice interlude music!❤ oldskool hip hop!

[@brianholmes6626]

Awesome videos man, I do maintenance for a motel in north east Ohio and see alot of the same issues you show in the video....although your hotel is alot nicer!

[@zoomavlogs]

Thank you. You Rock!!

Thank you, i just got my first maitence job and I am nervous

[@zoomavlogs]

That’s awesome brotha. Don’t be nervous. You got this!!!

[@andressanchez3504]

Aim ridge/interstate is you management Co. yes--do u do Sheetrock--replace parts for AC units-troubleshoot Boiler w/a 200 gallon tank tile work, any electrical…I do not see you assist housekeeping taking out linen from the rooms or helping laundry. Is Assa Anloid your card reader vendor…no extra parts--but your customizing the latches--that is a plus if management does not mind customizing what is needed…if you do not have parts-it is up to you but--HVAC, Electrical, Plumbing, Truck Driving school will be more enjoyable and a higher quality of life and pay. Good videos.

[@zoomavlogs]

Thanks. You Rock!!

[@TheRedeyeriko]

I love watching your videos Man I deal with this everyday

[@Tony.Technics.1200s]

2:34 as soon as I heard the voice I knew it was something simple. I reminds me of getting these constant calls from my father in law, every trip was something like this, even him just holding the TV remote backwards( several times). Dude had a brain tumor so I can't fault the poor guy, the fact that he called me ( from 40 min away) than my useless brother in law (just 5 min away) was an honor to me, lol!

[@zoomavlogs]

Yup. Thanks for sharing. It’s definitely an honor to be recognized for what you do. You rock. Thanks for watching

[@nateoreilly6885]

No rise after backwash??

[@SardarAlam-k5r]

I have experience 7 years hotel maintenance electrician and plumber

[@zoomavlogs]

Awesome. Keep up the good work

[@travisbedonie7509]

Are you a maintenance or a maintenance technician??

[@CJ-xv7rw]

check the hinges first

[@lil50gd27]

Was thinking that too before he cut the jam esxusion and the cut out hinge leaning on side little bit wasn’t catching for years it lopped down some thru use screw holes on hinge is loose or weared out lil bit not much

[@arch953]

Great job man!!

[@FlowBonded]

Thank you for this video

[@maintenanceman1015]

Need housekeeping happy so your job is a little easier good rule.

[@zoomavlogs]

Absolutely. Thanks for watching 👍

[@carlmccarty6470]

I've been thinking about doing hotel maintenance. I was wondering if you work nights and how many weekends you get to take off? There is an apartment maintenance course at the local college that I would think would definitely help me get a job in this trade.

[@zoomavlogs]

No I don’t work nights. I have Sunday and Monday off. Yes definitely take all the courses you can because it would definitely look great in your resume. Good luck and thank you for watching my videos

[@andressanchez3504]

Go a different route…hotels pay you almost the minimum and sell their rooms super high…seldomly there are bonuses for you-trade school is better Trucking, Electrical-HVAC Plumbing--

[@jonstinpoe3975]

Would you rather have a ptac unit or vtac unit?

[@zoomavlogs]

Ptac are easy to handle. How about you?

[@jonstinpoe3975]

@@zoomavlogs For me not having that much knowledge in HVAC but our hotel has Vtac and it’s a pain. But I would say from watching your videos Ptac looks easier to handle and maintain.

[@oldmanonamission8055]

On that door sticking you should have checked the top hinge on the door in case it was loose.

[@BrocktonMagnetFisher]

I was going to say the same thing

[@kevinantoine4891]

Yes, and a sprite level just to verify that it's off level.

[@lyonhartboxing]

I was thinking the samething Grinding down the latch is a temporary fix it'll work . But either the hinge is loose or the frames needs to be adjusted

[@ZahkiraZahkirazahraali]

Not happy with the outcome of that door, Don't you think it could be the door hinges wearing out?

[@lorenzovalle4658]

What’s the usual day of a maintenance man iam starting Sunday no experience and would like to know if I gotta service water heaters and such

[@zoomavlogs]

If you have no experience I’m sure they will start you with light work until you get used to the building. That’s exactly what happened to me when I first started hotel maintenance. Congratulations and good luck my friend 👍

[@lorenzovalle4658]

But what’s the day to day like ? Is it hard in general even with experience a lot to manage and keep up?

[@zoomavlogs]

@@lorenzovalle4658 depends on the condition of the hotel. I would just concentrate on one work order at a time. Don’t get overwhelmed with the day to day because every hotel is different. And also don’t be afraid to ask for help if you don’t know something.
