Scene note

Record the last normal use, hot-side flow, fixture spread, recent outage, building notice, service history, and any code or light visible from outside the equipment.

First five minutes

Put these five details on the same page

Each note narrows the conversation without pretending to reveal a concealed cause.

Fixture spread

Mark sinks, showers, tubs, and appliances with normal or changed temperature.

Hot-side flow

Separate adequate cool flow from weak or absent flow at the hot control.

Visible status

Copy an exterior code or indicator without removing any cover.

Recent event

Add outage, vacancy, control work, building maintenance, or earlier service.

Shared system

Confirm who owns access and whether another unit reports the same change.

Solution map

Keep responsibility visible while the evidence changes

In a shared system, ask the building representative whether other units are affected and who controls equipment access. A unit symptom does not prove the source is inside that unit.

01Protect the immediate area.
02Write what can be observed safely.
03Identify the responsible party.
04Authorize a supported scope.

Closeout note

Leave the next reader a usable record

The final record should include the supported finding, responsible trade, part or product, current permit status, settings explained, representative operation, and follow-up owner.
