Find another plumber. I’ll explain what happened below.
Called in to fix a shower head that was hanging.
The plumber called me and said there was a leak in the water line and asked if he could cut into the tile to deal with the leak, I said yes.
He cuts into tile & takes some drywall with it (see pictures). Without asking or turning off the water, he removes a pin that was in the pipe. This causes water to spew out everywhere & up into my drywall.
Only once he left did I find out the drywall was soaked. Thankfully, the tenants called and told me.
More work needed to be done. He quotes me a price, comes back 3 days later, completes the work, then tries to charge $175 more than the quoted price.
I come over the next day because I need to take the handle off of the shower valve so that people can fix the tile that was broken. Why wasn’t that handled by the plumber who should know that piece needs to be removed??
On top of this, a piece of drywall was cut out of the wall (see pictures). The plumber did not get my permission to cut the drywall nor did he tell me that he cut it.
