What to Do During a Maintenance Emergency

How to handle urgent maintenance issues during a guest stay.

Updated over 2 months ago

If a maintenance emergency occurs during a guest's stay—such as a plumbing leak, power outage, or no heat—quick action is essential to ensure guest safety and satisfaction.

Steps to Take:

  1. Respond Immediately: Whether notified directly or through Vidle Support, contact the guest as soon as possible.

  2. Coordinate Repairs Promptly: Dispatch a qualified vendor or maintenance contact. Let the guest know when help is arriving.

  3. Offer Interim Support: If immediate repairs aren’t possible, provide temporary solutions (space heaters, bottled water, etc.) to keep the guest comfortable.

  4. Communicate with Vidle Support: Keep us updated so we can help communicate with the guest, document the issue, and offer backup options if needed.

  5. Document Everything: Save photos, repair receipts, and communication logs in case further review is needed.
