From my experience with a very old property that is fairly high maintenance.customers don't care about excuses of illness, etc....24-48 hours to get bids from as many companies as you can/want and/or personally assess 1-7 days lead/preparation time1-7 days work timeMAX time for just about the most major plumbing problem in an occupied unit(assuming all was working and in order at move in)with maximum excuses is 16 days...IMHOanything longer than 16 days(really should be fixed in 2-10 days), is too long and you should negotiate down the balance they owe you, especially if it was slab leak, or anything major that requires removing the floors and/or creating an uninhabitable environment from lack of water, or open trench/wall, etc in unit for more than the 8 hours during 9-5 M-Fand during that whole time, lots of active communication about the status and progress and tons of apologies along the waysome people will still be angry and some will try to use it to leverage you for other considerations....good luck!
