Emergency Repair Prep

Urgent repair conversations move quickly. Preparing the right facts can help a provider triage the situation and explain next steps.

Before requesting help

• Identify the immediate safety issue: water, electrical, gas, structural, mold, or access.
• Take photos only if it is safe.
• Record when the issue started and what temporary steps were taken.
• Ask whether the quote includes emergency fees, diagnosis, materials, cleanup, and follow-up repairs.
