If you suspect an immediate hazard, stop work and move to a safe location. In the United States, call 911 or the appropriate fire department, utility emergency line, poison control service, or other local authority from a safe location. Do not rely on Homiary during an emergency.
1. Purpose and limits
Homiary organizes records and provides general reminders and educational information. It does not inspect, monitor, diagnose, repair, certify, warrant, or guarantee the condition, code compliance, performance, or safety of a home or any equipment.
A completed task, favorable maintenance status, absence of an alert, expected lifespan, or future due date does not mean a property is safe or free of defects. Homiary can use only the information entered or currently available in the app, and that information may be incomplete, outdated, inaccurate, or inapplicable to your property.
2. Information that takes priority
Always follow current manufacturer instructions, labels, safety bulletins, product recalls, warranties, permits, building and trade codes, utility requirements, and directions from emergency authorities. Engage an appropriately licensed, qualified, and insured professional when required by law, the manufacturer, the task, or your own uncertainty.
Dates, intervals, costs, expected lifespans, and recommendations in Homiary are estimates. Climate, occupancy, property age, materials, installation quality, equipment model, past damage, local codes, and other conditions can change what is appropriate.
3. How to treat task risk
General maintenance may still involve hazards. Read manufacturer instructions, use proper protective equipment, isolate energy where instructed, and stop if conditions differ from what you expected.
Tasks involving ladders, powered tools, water isolation, heavy objects, heat, chemicals, or limited access require appropriate training, equipment, and physical ability. Choose a professional whenever uncertain.
Do not rely on Homiary for procedural repair instructions involving fuel gas, energized wiring or service panels, refrigerants, structural work, hazardous materials, fire systems, or other regulated or high-risk work.
Stop, avoid the hazard, leave when appropriate, and contact emergency services or the relevant utility from a safe location. Ordinary task-completion steps are not appropriate during an active emergency.
4. High-risk work
Do not attempt work beyond your training, licensing, authorization, physical ability, or available protective equipment. Homiary is not a substitute for professional assessment or service for:
- fuel-gas installation, leaks, combustion adjustment, or fuel-line work;
- electrical service panels, energized wiring, arcing, sparking, or equipment exposed to water;
- refrigerant charging, recovery, opening, or other closed-circuit HVAC work;
- load-bearing, foundation, structural, or major envelope changes;
- roofing, high-elevation work, or unsafe ladder access;
- suspected asbestos, lead, mold, sewage, contaminated water, or other hazardous materials;
- fire-suppression, chimney, flue, or combustion-system repair; or
- any task requiring a permit, licensed trade, specialized testing, or code inspection.
5. Emergency examples
- Gas odor or suspected gas leak: do not operate switches, appliances, flames, or phones in the affected area. Leave immediately and contact 911 and the gas utility from a safe location.
- Carbon-monoxide alarm or symptoms: move everyone to fresh air, call 911 from a safe location, and do not re-enter until emergency personnel say it is safe.
- Fire, smoke, arcing, or energized equipment in water: do not approach or touch the source. Leave, call 911, and follow emergency instructions.
- Possible structural failure: keep people away, leave if necessary, and contact emergency authorities and a qualified structural professional.
This list is not exhaustive. If a condition appears dangerous, treat it as such even when Homiary shows no warning.
6. Your responsibility
You are responsible for deciding whether to inspect, defer, stop, or hire a professional; verifying current licensing, insurance, permits, references, and suitability of service providers; maintaining working alarms and emergency plans; and protecting occupants, visitors, pets, and property.
User-entered provider information is not a Homiary endorsement or verification. A provider's presence in the app does not guarantee licensing, insurance, quality, safety, availability, or results.
