Start with what you know
You do not need a diagnosis or technical vocabulary to make a useful record. Begin with what you already know: where you are, what you noticed and what you want to understand. Choosing “not sure” is better than guessing a water source or contaminant.
Make the record specific
A new renter may know the kitchen has a small tap but not what supplies it. That is enough to begin: record the outlet and ask the host for the system details before selecting equipment or arranging a test.
Your observation checklist
- Choose your approximate area without entering an exact address.
- Describe the observation using the closest available option.
- Choose “not sure” for unknown supply details.
- Save the questions you need to ask the owner or manager.
The question to take to an assessment
Which missing document or observation would make my next decision more specific?
Keep the original observations, dates and documents together. If you commission a visit or test, agree its scope, costs and expected written output directly with the professional. Our online check does not book a technician or send your details to a provider.
