Rain protection, crawlspace access, shared shutoffs, parking, or finish work may affect a North Seattle property, but only the actual proposal can say whether they apply.
Ask what will be inspected, measured, opened, protected, replaced, tested, demonstrated, and documented. Identify the stop point before concealed work begins.
Assign appliance, electrical, drying, sanitation, cabinet, flooring, wall, landscape, and public right-of-way tasks outside plumbing unless the contract expressly includes them.
What to observe now
Keep the notes factual. A visible clue can direct an inspection without proving what is hidden.
Separate the dispatch or diagnostic fee from authorization for repair work.
List cabinet, wall, ceiling, floor, crawlspace, yard, or equipment openings.
Record models, allowances, substitutions, lead times, ownership, and disposal.
Compare shutdown area, expected downtime, protection, cleanup, and occupied-space limits.
Name who dries, sanitizes, patches, paints, landscapes, or repairs finishes afterward.
Responsibility
Closeout record
Retain estimates, clarifications, selected scope, signed changes, material schedule, permits, inspection results, final invoice, warranty, and an owner for every exclusion.
Current primary sources
Public procedures and status can change. Use the source that owns the decision.
