What it usually is

Wobble is often loose blade screws, a loose mounting bracket or one unbalanced blade. A fan that shakes hard may need a better support for the box, or a new fan.

What to do first

Turn the fan off, and tighten the blade and bracket screws only if you can reach them safely. Do not run a fan that shakes hard.

The flat rate that covers it

South Tacoma has mid-century single-family homes, small businesses along its main avenues and some light industrial areas. Mid-century South Tacoma homes commonly have original drain and supply lines still in service, and updates tend to happen one room at a time.
