Electrical : Wires , Panels , Breakers & More

Electrical maintenance and repair can be an underlying component of every repair a maintenance professional works on . It is important to understand the different components of electrical maintenance and how to make your repairs safely .

Plumbing : Pipes , Fittings & Clean-Outs

Pipes can break , drains can plug , and valves can leak . When trouble arises , quick and quality repairs are crucial — the plumbing system must work properly , both for convenience and the health of the community ’ s residents .

Pipes are the arteries and veins of the plumbing system , carrying fresh , clean water to residents — and taking away wastewater and material . Fittings are the metal or plastic pieces that hold sections of pipe together .

In your role as a maintenance technician , you ’ ll need to know about the pipes behind the walls of your apartment community . In particular , you ’ ll need to know what can go wrong with them , and how to make a few simple repairs .

The HOME Room is nothing like a typical classroom environment . Yes , there are tables , chairs and a screen for a PowerPoint , but this space offers flexibility and encourages students to get up , move around and dive into the equipment they have at their

fingertips .
