Benchmark — confirmation
Plumbing emergency: confirm the trip (and avoid “I’ll pay later”)
Leak, water heater, clogged toilet: the job is urgent, but payment can get fuzzy after the fact. An SMS/email deposit request confirms the job before you leave and reduces no‑show appointments.
Two very common flows
- Travel + diagnosis: deposit before the visit, then balance after the repair.
- Replacement (water heater, faucets, drainage): order deposit if you must supply materials, then balance after installation.
