How coverage is decided
Dispatchers collect your address and the specifics of the problem before lining up a contractor in your part of the valley. Because coverage follows the contractor and the address, these pages are a guide and not a promise.
Tenants ought to notify the landlord or property manager first and say who owns the unit when they call. A gas odor changes the order of things. Get out first, report it to 911 or the gas company from outside, and only afterward ring the plumbing line.
