Once the fix is proven: the drain runs, the leak stays dry or the hot water is back. For big jobs, a day later is fine. ### Should I ask landlords for reviews? Yes, if they hired you. Ask every customer the same way, including property managers. ### What if the job went badly? Fix it first and still ask. Asking only customers you think are happy is review gating, which Google doesn't allow. ## Sources 1.
