## How the result is decided

The rules run in a fixed order; the first one that matches decides the result.

| If you said | The result |
| --- | --- |
| Water leaking now | Act now. This outranks every other answer. |
| All the piping already replaced with a permit | No repipe indicated, or diagnose first if the symptoms are still there. |
| Galvanized, or gray pipe mixed with copper, plus constant rusty water, weaker flow upstairs or two or more leaks | Plan a whole-house repipe, or a partial for the galvanized that is left. |
| Copper with two or more leaks | Plan a whole-house repipe, after the cause is looked for. |
| A notice that the service line is lead or galvanized | Diagnose first, starting with the service line. |
| Weak water on every floor, basement included | Diagnose first: find where the pressure is lost. |
| One symptom only | Diagnose first: one symptom has more than one possible cause. |
| A kitchen or bathroom remodel planned | Plan the piping with the remodel. |
| Not sure what the pipe is, in an older house | Diagnose first: find out what the pipe is. |
| None of the above | No repipe indicated yet. |
