AI prompts for common plumbing problems.
Water under the sink, a running toilet, a slow drain, or a noisy water heater. These workflows help the AI ask the right intake questions, tell you what's safe to check, and prepare a plumber-ready summary if you need to escalate.
Leaky P-trap under the sink
“My kitchen sink is leaking under the trap.”
Use when
- Water dripping from the U-shaped pipe under the sink.
- Damp cabinet floor or musty smell under the sink.
- Drip only when the disposal or dishwasher runs.
What H0U53 produces
- Intake checklist (photo, brand, age, when it started).
- Likely sources ranked (slip nut, washer, threaded joint, disposal connection).
- Safe checks I can do myself.
- Stop conditions where to call a plumber.
- A plumber-ready summary if I escalate.
prompt
My kitchen sink is leaking under the P-trap. Help me figure this out without making it worse. Before any advice, ask me a few intake questions one at a time: - Is it dripping constantly, or only when something runs (disposal, dishwasher)? - Photo of where the water is coming from? - Brand or age of the faucet / disposal, if known? Then walk me through: - Safe checks I can do myself (paper towel under each joint, hand-tighten slip nuts) - Stop conditions where I should call a plumber instead - A short summary I can text a plumber if I need to escalate Use "possible," "likely," "verify." Do not invent torque or brand-specific details.
Toilet runs constantly
“My toilet keeps running between flushes.”
Use when
- Hearing water running long after a flush.
- Water bill noticeably higher.
- Phantom flush — toilet refills on its own.
What H0U53 produces
- Likely cause (flapper, fill valve, float, chain).
- Diagnostic steps with the tank lid off.
- DIY-safe replacement parts (flapper, fill valve).
- When to call a plumber (slow leak into bowl, cracked tank, supply line).
prompt
My toilet keeps running between flushes. Help me figure out why and what's safe to do myself. Ask me first: - How long has it been doing this? - Any visible water leak around the base or floor? - Brand or rough age of the toilet, if I can see a stamp inside the tank? Then walk me through: - The flapper test (food coloring in the tank) - Float / fill valve checks - Which parts are homeowner-DIY (flapper, fill valve) vs plumber-required (cracked tank, supply line) - Stop conditions Don't invent part numbers — say "verify with the brand printed inside the tank" if specifics matter.
Slow-draining tub or sink
“The water drains really slowly from one fixture.”
Use when
- Standing water after a shower or in the bathroom sink.
- Gurgling sounds when other fixtures run.
- Only one fixture affected (not the whole house).
What H0U53 produces
- Likely causes (hair, soap scum, P-trap clog, vent issue).
- DIY-safe checks (drain stopper, hand-pulled hair, baking soda + vinegar test).
- What to avoid (chemical drain cleaners on old pipes).
- When to call a plumber (multiple fixtures slow = main line).
prompt
One fixture in my house drains really slowly. Help me figure out what's safe to try and when to call someone. Ask me first: - Which fixture (tub, sink, shower)? - Is it only one, or are multiple fixtures slow? - Any gurgling from other drains when this one runs? - Age of the house? Then walk me through: - Safe checks I can do (drain stopper inspection, hair removal) - What NOT to do (chemical drain cleaner if pipes are old/galvanized) - Stop conditions where this becomes a main-line / plumber issue Use "possible," "likely," "verify."
Water heater making strange noises
“My water heater is rumbling, popping, or knocking.”
Use when
- Popping or rumbling sounds from the tank during heat cycles.
- Knocking that gets worse over time.
- Reduced hot water capacity or longer recovery times.
What H0U53 produces
- Likely cause (sediment buildup, expanding tank, T&P valve).
- Safe-from-the-outside checks (visible leaks, T&P drip, pan).
- When DIY flush is appropriate vs. call-a-pro situations.
- Plumber call script with brand, age, and observations.
prompt
My water heater is making rumbling and popping sounds. Help me figure out what's normal, what's not, and when to call a plumber. Ask me first: - Approximate age and brand of the unit? - Gas or electric? - Any visible leaks at the bottom, pan, or T&P discharge pipe? - When did the sound start? Then walk me through: - What the sound likely means (sediment vs. expansion vs. T&P) - Safe checks I can do without touching the unit - When to NOT touch it (gas connections, T&P valve, drain valve on old units) - A plumber-ready summary Don't invent capacity or recovery specs — say "verify with the nameplate on the tank" if specifics matter.
