Plumbers who document their work use a job photo app with automatic timestamps, organized by property address. Here's what works and why it matters.
Why Plumbers Document
- Pre-existing conditions — document the pipe condition, leak source, and surrounding area before any work. Protects against "you caused that damage" claims
- Repair documentation — photos of the repair before walls or floors are reinstated
- Permit compliance — some jurisdictions require documentation of rough-in before close-up
- Insurance claims — leak damage documentation for homeowners and adjusters
What the Best Plumbers Use
TimeFotos — address-based workspaces with automatic timestamps. Each property gets its own record. Photos go from your phone directly into the job workspace, timestamped with date, time, and GPS. Client share links let you send a professional photo report to homeowners, adjusters, or permit offices.
