Seattle / note 28

Time one ordinary fill and one idle period

Continuous flow, periodic refill, weak flushing, changing bowl level, supply noise, and water at the base are different observations. A timed cycle keeps them from collapsing into one guess.

Scene note

Watch from outside the tank and stop if the fixture overflows or leaks. Record when fill begins, when it should stop, any later restart, and the sound or movement that remains.

First five minutes

Put these five details on the same page

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

01

Fill start

Note how soon refill begins after one ordinary flush.

02

Fill stop

Time whether the sound and visible flow end cleanly.

03

Idle restart

Record the interval before an unprompted refill begins.

04

Bowl level

Describe stable, falling, rising, or moving water between uses.

05

Supply and base

Keep valve noise, line moisture, tank droplets, and floor water separate.

Solution map

Keep responsibility visible while the evidence changes

Compare the use record with a bill or meter alert only as supporting evidence. Water-use data cannot identify the failed toilet component by itself.

  1. 01Protect the immediate area.
  2. 02Write what can be observed safely.
  3. 03Identify the responsible party.
  4. 04Authorize a supported scope.

Closeout note

Leave the next reader a usable record

The provider should leave a normal flush and refill demonstration, the installed part or adjustment, supply and base condition, follow-up threshold, invoice, and warranty.
