No, all you need is the camera on your phone! The camera will allow the Expert to see what you’re seeing and help assess the issue. You’ll just want to make sure the area is clear of any debris so you can access it easily with your camera. If you have a toolbox or any tools handy, it’s a plus to have them within reach.
