This is physical skilled trade work requiring hands-on expertise, proper tools, and in-person code compliance. AI cannot perform physical installation, assess structural conditions on-site, or obtain necessary permits. While AI could theoretically provide plumbing diagrams or code references, the actual work is 100% manual labor requiring licensed expertise.
