Photo Uploads

Upload clear photos before bidding starts so plumbers can assess and quote faster—often in under 5 minutes.

A photo of a leak under the sink, a malfunctioning garbage disposal, or a cracked pipe can cut diagnosis time in half. Take snapshots from multiple angles—show the problem up close, then include a wider shot to show surrounding fixtures or walls. Good lighting helps; avoid glare or shadows that obscure details like water stains, corrosion, or label numbers on valves or joints.

When plumbers see the same image you see, they avoid back-and-forth calls asking for clarification. This is especially useful for issues like slow drains where a camera scope photo (taken through a floor drain or cleanout) reveals the blockage location, or for hidden water damage behind walls where only surface discoloration is visible.

Photos also help plumbers prepare for your job—knowing the exact problem means they bring the right tools, sealants, or replacement parts. For example, seeing a specific brand of corroded pipe fitting helps a plumber confirm compatibility before arriving. This reduces delays, minimizes callbacks, and keeps quotes accurate and binding.
