Guide · Diagnose & Triage

What the AI will produce

  • An intake checklist (photo, brand, age, recent work, location of drip).
  • Likely sources of the leak, ranked.
  • Step-by-step safe checks — tightening slip nuts by hand, inspecting washers.
  • Stop conditions — water near outlets, swelling cabinet floor, mold suspicion.
  • A plumber-ready summary to text or call with.

Example interaction

Turn 1 — Intake

The AI asks: photo? brand? age? When did the drip start? Constant or only when the disposal runs? Anything recent? You answer with what you know.

Turn 2 — Triage

The AI restates symptoms, separates “water at the slip nut” from “water at the threaded joint at the wall” — different problems. It flags that if the drip only happens when the disposal runs, the disposal connection is suspect.

Turn 3 — Safe checks

Put a dry paper towel under each joint. Run water. Identify exactly which joint is wet. Hand-tighten the slip nut a quarter turn (no wrench). Re-test.

Turn 4 — Decision

If hand-tightening stopped it, you’re done — document the date and which joint. If it kept dripping, or the joint is at the wall, or you see swelling cabinet wood, the AI builds the plumber-ready summary.
