Ensure that the repairs conducted are both effective and durable to prevent future recurrence of similar plumbing issues. 4. Communicate an estimated timeline for completing the repairs, and keep me informed throughout the process. I trust that you understand the urgency and gravity of this matter and will take swift action to remedy the situation.
