What a Plumbing Contractor May Check
A plumber may first identify the source of the problem, isolate the affected water or drain line, assess visible damage, and explain the immediate repair options. If the issue involves gas, electricity or contaminated water, additional safety precautions may be necessary.
The exact diagnosis and recommended work depend on the property, plumbing system, access, code requirements and what the contractor finds during the visit.
