Fictional decision example
A puddle beside a water heater
Illustrative situation
A homeowner notices water near the heater and assumes the tank has failed.
Recommendation logic
A provider would first establish the actual source and explain the evidence.
Illustrative work
If an accessible connection were confirmed as the source, the written scope might address that connection rather than automatically replace the heater.
Illustrative outcome
The relevant question would be whether the source was corrected and any remaining water damage addressed. No result is promised.
