Use it to stay safe, describe the problem clearly and decide whether to request plumbing help.

Request help when water is active, a fixture has failed or a planned plumbing change needs a closer look.

Start with the room, fixture, visible symptom, access and whether water is actively escaping.

Separate active leaks from planned repairs, fixture changes or non-urgent investigation.
