Title 24 and the plumbing implication
California Title 24 Part 6 governs water-using fixture efficiency. Replacements must meet WaterSense standards; non-compliant installs trigger inspection failures and customer chargebacks. ServiceIQ attaches Title 24 references and WaterSense product flags to every fixture-replacement work order.
Drought-restriction workflow gating
California county drought restrictions affect repair vs replacement decisions, especially for irrigation and pool plumbing. ServiceIQ's workflow gating prevents jobs that violate active restrictions from dispatch and routes them to a compliance review queue.
CSLB licensing tracking
Contractors State License Board credentials are tracked per technician and per job. Expiration alerts fire 60, 30, and 7 days ahead. Bond and insurance tracking integrates.
Metro-specific tuning
The four metros pull in different directions. Los Angeles has the longest drive times in the state, the Bay Area the steepest pricing power, San Diego the heaviest commercial property mix and Sacramento the fastest growth. A territory drawn for one of them will be wrong for the other three, which is why the boundaries are tuned per metro.
