What Davis Islands does
to a home appliance.

Developer D.P. Davis sold the original 306 lots for a combined $1,683,582 before the Florida land boom collapsed and he was lost at sea in 1926, leaving parts of his planned resort community unfinished.

Several Mediterranean-style buildings from that original 1920s development, including the Palace of Florence and Mirasol, carry National Historic Designation today.

Because the islands are entirely fill rather than natural ground, homes here sit closer to the water table and face different drainage and flood considerations than mainland Tampa neighborhoods.

On the water

Salt carried on sea breezes lands on everything with a fan, and the fins of condenser coils, the hinges of refrigerator doors and the outside flap of a dryer exhaust pit faster near the water, so upkeep there adds a corrosion check to every cleaning.

Older housing stock

In an older home the outlet behind an appliance may be one of only a few on an old circuit, and a maintenance visit notes any cord, plug or outlet that runs warm, since that is a job for an electrician rather than a cleaning.

Built-in and paneled suites

Heavy custom door panels load the hinges of built-in refrigerators and dishwashers over the years, so an upkeep visit checks hinge tension and door alignment, since a door that sags no longer presses its gasket evenly.

When a home appliance
cannot wait in Davis Islands.

In Davis Islands as anywhere, these five signs mean upkeep has waited too long and a hazard has started in the home, so the appliance stays off until it is looked at: a hot or burning-lint smell from the laundry, a gas smell at a cooking appliance, a supply hose leaking or bulging, a burning electrical smell, and a breaker that trips when the appliance runs.

All 17 problems
A quiet home laundry room with a front-loading vented machine standing still, its door closed and its display dark, a faint thin haze of pale smoke hanging near the round metal exhaust collar on the wall behind it, a crushed silver foil duct visible at the back, the power cord unplugged and lying on the floor, seen from the doorway. Fire, gas, water or wiring risk

Hot or Burning Lint Smell in the Laundry Room: Stop the Cycle

6 causes, cheapest first

 An empty home kitchen at dusk with a stainless gas cooktop and a wall oven, every burner dark and every knob at off, the kitchen window and the back door both standing open to the evening, a yellow-handled gas shutoff valve visible low in an open cabinet beside the cooktop, seen from the hallway. Fire, gas, water or wiring risk

Gas Smell Near the Oven or Burners: Get Out, Then Call

6 causes, cheapest first

 Low view behind a front-loading washer pulled slightly away from the wall in a home laundry room, a black rubber fill hose with a visible swollen bulge near its fitting and a thin stream of water spraying from it onto a tile floor, a spreading puddle, the hot and cold wall valves above. Fire, gas, water or wiring risk

Supply Hose Leaking or Bulging Behind an Appliance: Shut the Water Off

6 causes, cheapest first

 Close view of a white wall outlet low behind a stainless kitchen appliance, a plug half-seated in it with a faint brown scorch mark on the outlet face and a thin wisp of gray smoke rising, the dim kitchen beyond out of focus. Fire, gas, water or wiring risk

Burning Electrical Smell From an Appliance: Breaker Off First

6 causes, cheapest first

 An open gray electrical panel door on a garage wall, one breaker in the row sitting in the tripped middle position, a white upright freezer standing dark and silent on the concrete floor nearby, soft daylight from a side window. Fire, gas, water or wiring risk
