PlumbingDiagnostics & Troubleshooting4HighHomeowner$ explicit
Homeowner with washing machine filling with dirty water cannot determine if it's a sewage backup or a broken washing machine pump, and contractor refuses to modify plumbing without certainty.
No clear diagnostic process to distinguish between appliance failure and sewage backup; contractor relies on opinion rather than evidence.
