Locate known cleanouts
Share where interior or exterior sewer cleanouts are believed to be, but do not open unsafe or damaged caps yourself.
Provide property access
Confirm entry instructions, occupied areas, pets, gates, and the contact who can answer access questions.
Share the deadline
For real estate, provide the relevant review timeline so report delivery and any follow-up can be planned.
Mention current symptoms
Slow drains, recent cleaning, backups, odors, or past repairs give the technician important context before the camera run.
