Start with conditions, not a product
Fixture behavior, pipe material, pressure, drainage, venting, shutoffs, and access all belong in the conversation before a repair is scoped.
Build a complete scope
- Existing conditions and likely cause
- Preparation and protection
- Materials, compatibility, and installation details
- Permits, testing, cleanup, and restoration
- Exclusions, warranty terms, and change-order process
Sterling Heights context
Much of Sterling Heights was built during the single 1950s-70s postwar wave that followed Chrysler and Ford's expansion into the township, so a large share of the city's original supply lines share that same installation era and material.
