Put the work in order
Put the work in order
- Start with a visual baseline around the repair, nearby connections, opened finishes and the area below.
- Introduce use in the agreed order and volume while another person observes only from safe positions.
- Repeat the original trigger when appropriate: refill, drain, hot draw, simultaneous flow, appliance cycle, or shared restart.
- Record time, result, new sound, odor, temperature, movement, moisture, and any unit that still behaves differently.
The hold point
The hold point
A repair can pass one quick test and still need observation under the condition that originally revealed the problem. The responsible provider should define that condition and any safe waiting period. Residents should not dismantle, retighten, reset, or modify the finished repair to perform their own proof test.
Before moving to the next stage
Before moving to the next stage
- What test did the provider perform, under what demand, and for how long?
- Is insulation, support, access, labeling, protection and finish work complete?
- What is normal settling or air release, and what condition calls for immediate follow-up?
- Who holds the final record and how can the same repair be identified later?
