Home Repairs & Housing Careers — Vocabulary

How it works

When something breaks in your home, you need the right words to describe the problem and to ask for help. These are also the words people use in housing jobs — the people who fix and manage apartment buildings.

Examples: Our air conditioner isn't working.  ·  The plumber fixed the sink.
