AI agent for plumbers
Leak Source Narrowing Agent
Find the leak source with the fewest tests and openings.
What it does
A hidden leak can take three visits to find. This agent takes the customer's description and meter readings and proposes the next test, such as a pressure drop test, a fixture shutoff or a meter check with all water off. You do the test and enter the result. It narrows the area, rules out sources and proposes the next test, repeating until the source is isolated. It records the path, the time and the cost so far. You approve any wall opening or repair quote. Edge case: the meter moves with all fixtures off, but the pressure test on the hot side holds, and the agent focuses on the cold side.
How it works
Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.
