NORWOOD SERVICE DESK
The Plumbing System Desk
A useful plumbing conversation gets clearer when everyone is talking about the same part of the system.
A fixture may connect to branch piping, building supply or drainage, a private service line, and then Town infrastructure. Different records and parties can govern each segment.
What belongs in the report
Map the symptom to the nearest visible component, but leave buried or concealed boundaries open until records or inspection settle them.
