Read the pattern
Identify the lowest affected opening, which fixture changes another, drainage speed, gurgling, odor, visible stopper debris, nearby bathroom behavior, and whether another floor participates.

Move from evidence to a bounded authorization
Hold the safety line
End the test when wastewater returns or a toilet level changes unexpectedly. Keep chemical products separate, ventilate as their labels require, and protect occupants from contaminated water and slick surfaces.
Place the Seattle boundary
One accessible trap may be limited work; a concealed shared branch can add building access, finish repair, and broader coordination. A single bathroom pattern does not prove a public sewer problem.
Write the visit
Specify the target fixture or branch, stopper and trap work, access, cable size and stopping limit, surface protection, camera condition, reassembly, and evidence required before widening authorization.
Keep the closing evidence
Retest one fixture at a time and then the combination that caused interaction. Check drain seals, nearby ceilings, cabinet joints, and the lowest opening before closing the visit.
