Tenant

It's leaking under my kitchen sink right now.

Handyman

Okay, is the water coming out fast or slow?

Tenant

It's slow, but there's a puddle on the floor.

Handyman

Can you turn off the water valve under the sink?

Tenant

Wait, I don't see a valve down here.

Handyman

Look for a small round knob near the pipe.

Tenant

Oh, I found it! I'm turning it now.

Handyman

Great, did the leaking stop after that?

Tenant

Yes, it stopped! That's such a relief.

Handyman

I can come check the pipe this afternoon.

Tenant

That would be perfect, thank you so much.

Handyman

No problem, I'll bring some new parts too.

Tenant

Should I clean up the water before you arrive?

Handyman

Yes, please dry the floor so it's not slippery.
