A clear report describes the visible problem and helps arrange access for a repair.

The idea

State where water is leaking, mention when it started, and ask when someone can come.

Examples

  • Hay una fuga de agua debajo del fregadero.There is a water leak under the kitchen sink.
  • El suelo está mojado.The floor is wet.
  • La fuga empezó esta mañana.The leak began this morning.
  • ¿Podrían enviar a alguien?Could you send someone?
  • ¿Cuándo pueden venir?When can they come?
  • Por favor, avísenme antes de llegar.Please let me know before arriving.
