Five Essential Home Trades To Put In Your Smartphone Memory

This post may contain affiliate links. Read full disclosure.

by Maxanne

Have you ever had a day where everything seems to go wrong in your home at once? The fridge has stopped refrigerating and those fresh fish fillets are getting warm, grape juice has spilt all over your new carpet, you’ve spotted a roach in the pantry, that old tree in the garden has dropped a heavy limb onto your front porch, and to make matters even worse the toilet is clogged up and overflowing!

I guess we better start with that last one, but how do you find a plumber in Central Coast fast? 

In the past, we might have checked our card files or had important numbers written in the back of our phone book- speaking of which, where did I put those? They’re not in the drawer… If you are anything like me, this may help with 6 helpful tips if you lose things easily.  The thing is you don’t have time to hunt them up, you need help right away!

Time to reach for your smartphone!

These days chances are you’ll reach for your smartphone. The world is at your fingertips, you can find anything online. the thing is, looking up all these trades takes time! Every search produces a long list of possibilities, but that fish is getting warmer, that stain on your carpet is spreading, that roach has invited some friends over, that broken limb is blocking your front door, and the toilet- well, maybe that’s best left unsaid! Yes, things are not going your way, but luckily you are prepared! You have taken the time to pre-program your smartphone’s memory with all the numbers you need to save your day!

Your list of five essential home trades

  • An electrician who can save those steaks.
  • A carpet cleaning service that can wipe that ugly stain out.
  • An exterminator who can send those roaches packing.
  • A tree surgeon to fix up that old tree.
  • A plumber who can save your home from a watery disaster!

Call for help with the push of a button

Being prepared can mean a lot when everything is going wrong. It’s great to have those essential home trades ready in your smartphone, but there are so many to choose from, how do you make sure you get the best available? Sure, there are lots of positive reviews online, but how do you really know? Try asking your friends and neighbours to point you in the right direction, they are likely to have valuable experiences they can share. Also be sure to check with helpful government agencies, such as the Australian Competition and Consumer Commissions for advice on buying products and services for advice on finding the right services, and what rights you have if they don’t live up to their promises. Sure, life isn’t perfect, but being prepared can go a long way to ensure you get the help you need when you need it! Now, if I can just remember where I left my smartphone?
