The 7-photo jobsite checklist.
Take the pictures that explain what you arrived to, what you found, what you did, and how the job ended—without filling your customer's phone with random photos.
For HVAC, plumbing, electrical, maintenance, repair, cleaning, installation, and other field-service work.□
Before condition
Capture the reported problem, damage, leak, defect, or requested condition before touching the work.
Identification
Record the model, serial number, label, work-order reference, or other detail that identifies what was serviced.
Problem found
Photograph the failed part, hidden condition, damage, obstruction, or reading that explains what you found.
Work performed
Capture one meaningful repair step, installed part, cleaned area, connection, or adjustment—not every motion.
Reading or test
Photograph the final measurement or test result with the value, unit, and relevant instrument visible.
Completed result
Use a similar angle to the before photo so the customer can quickly understand what changed.
A useful caption formula
Location + observed fact + result.
Weak: “Fixed.”
Clear: “Kitchen sink supply connection after replacement—no visible leak during five-minute flow test.”
Give the customer one report they can understand.

Practical answers.
How many jobsite photos should I take?＋
Take enough photos to explain the condition, the meaningful work, and the result. For a simple service call, three to seven clear photos are usually more useful than dozens of unexplained images.
What should I write under each photo?＋
State what the photo shows, where it was taken, and why it matters. Use observed facts and include units for readings.
Do photos replace permits or inspection records?＋
No. Jobsite photos support a work record, but they do not replace contracts, permits, required certificates, inspections, or trade-specific compliance documents.
