Common questions

Is this quiz a substitute for a professional inspection?

No. It's a quick, safety-first way to sort out whether a job is likely within reach. If anything about the problem worries you, call a licensed professional.

Why does the quiz always say to call for gas smells or sparks?

Those are emergencies, not repairs. A gas smell means leave the home and call from outside. Sparks, smoke or a burning smell mean turn off power if you safely can and call an electrician, or 911 if there's fire.

Is my information saved or sent anywhere?

No. The quiz runs entirely in your browser and nothing you choose is sent to FixItCity.
