Step by step
7Reverse every temporary change
Remove seals, tape, plastic, and return covers. Put dampers, doors, fans, and settings back as you found them.
Write down · NotePut alarms and detection back
Put back and test smoke and carbon monoxide alarms. Turn detection back on. Tell the fire department if it was notified.
Write down · NoteLeave gas restores to a qualified person
A qualified gas technician restores gas valves and relights pilots. Record who did it and when.
Write down · NoteLabel what the next person needs
Mark shutoffs, breakers, access points, and anything an owner must not switch off. Photograph each label.
Write down · PhotoState what is temporary
List any temporary fix plainly, the repair still owed, and when it gets rechecked. Do not call it repaired.
Write down · NoteWalk the customer through it
Give a short procedure they can use, plus the checks they must make. Leave guides named by revision.
Write down · NoteBook the follow-up
Open the follow-up task before you leave so the job does not close with nothing scheduled.
Write down · Task
A finished run leaves a put-back list, label photos, the customer's instructions, open items, and a scheduled follow-up.
