Confirm the address and contact
Give the full service address and a phone number where you can be reached. Explain who can authorize the work. If a tenant, employee, or property manager will provide access, agree on the arrangements beforehand.
Gather product and repair information
Have model details for a fixture or water heater if available, along with previous repair notes. For a planned installation, share the product information before the visit so potential compatibility questions can be discussed.
Clear a safe working area
Remove ordinary stored items from under the affected sink or around the fixture if it is safe. Keep pets away from the work area. Tell the plumber about restricted access rather than trying to move heavy equipment yourself.
Explain how the property uses water
For a business or shared property, mention hours of use and which fixtures need to remain available. Ask whether the proposed work may require shutting off water and discuss the implications before work begins.
Write down your questions
Ask what is included in the scope, what access is needed, what the estimate covers, and how completion will be checked. Keep the agreed details and any care instructions for your records.
