Critical emergencies
Immediate danger requires responders or the utility first. Never rely on an email form for safety assistance.
Members and nonmembers welcome
Away from home, managing a rental, or facing an urgent repair? HomeTame reviews your request, checks availability, and with your approval schedules a qualified provider to come to your home. We coordinate the visit and confirm the appointment details with you.
This is an email inquiry service, not live emergency dispatch or a guaranteed 24/7 response. Local provider availability and response times must be confirmed. Do not wait for this form if you need immediate assistance.
Request urgent help after the scene is safeImmediate danger requires responders or the utility first. Never rely on an email form for safety assistance.
Once safe, request repair coordination for leaks, failed HVAC, broken locks, damaged glass, or other urgent problems.
Request observations, photos, approved vendor access, mitigation coordination, and documentation.
Critical and High describe the issue, not dispatch priority or a guaranteed response time. Active danger requires emergency responders or the utility first. Request contractor help only after the scene is safe.
