Ask the plumber to connect inspection findings to repair and installation choices. The inspection record should identify water, drain, pipes, leaks, sewers, fixtures, heating equipment, property systems, and water quality only when those parts affect the service. The plumber should keep each repair and installation item tied to the inspection and final test.
