Understand the system before naming a solution
A sound read on the problem weighs fixture behavior, pipe material, pressure, drainage, venting, shutoff access, and whatever’s already been repaired.
What belongs in a real scope
- The likely cause, not just the visible failure
- Protection for the work area
- Material choice and installation method
- Permits, testing, cleanup, and finish repair
- Exclusions, warranty terms, and change-order pricing
