A generic leak or clog note does not help the technician arrive prepared.

Parts and labor are hard to explain
A plumbing invoice should separate diagnosis, repair, materials, trip fees, and recommendations.

Photo documentation
Attach before, during, and after photos to reduce confusion around leaks and repairs.
