Client Walkthrough for Plumbing

The Client Walkthrough workflow helps plumbing contractors complete projects professionally by involving clients in a guided review of the finished work. It includes inspecting fixtures, checking for leaks, verifying proper function, and addressing client questions or punch list items. By standardizing this process, plumbing companies reduce warranty claims, strengthen communication, and protect profitability. Clients benefit from transparency and confidence in system performance. Teams gain accountability through documented approval and follow-up. With this workflow in place, plumbing contractors can improve professionalism, deliver smoother closeouts, and leave clients with a strong final impression of quality and reliability.
