Read the guideHow to use this information
Begin with the source and safety concerns. Then use the guide's checklist to gather what you can observe safely and decide what to ask next. The purpose is to improve the conversation with the right professional.
Public health and utility guidance is attributed to its source. A source about Minnesota or a specific city does not establish the condition of an individual property. A response window in general guidance is not a promise about a contractor's arrival or the length of a job.
