Describe the symptom, not your diagnosis
Explain what you can see, hear or smell, when it started, which fixtures are affected and whether the problem is constant or intermittent. A clear symptom history is more useful than guessing which component has failed, especially for concealed leaks, pressure problems and recurring drain faults.
Make access possible
Clear cupboards below sinks, identify meter or isolation-valve locations where known, arrange keys or security access, and tell the plumber about ceiling hatches, locked plant areas or building-management requirements. In commercial properties, confirm who may approve a shutdown before the team arrives.
Send useful photographs
Wide photographs show the room or plant area, while close-ups show the visible fault. Include labels or model details on geysers, pumps, valves and specialist fittings where safe to photograph. A short video can also help where the problem is movement, noise, intermittent flow or active leaking.
