Plumbing Gone Wrong: They Came in to Fix It and Made it Worse!
I thought calling a plumber was the solution to my gushing water. I mean, that's what they're designed to do, right? But oh boy, was I mistaken. Instead of, fixing the problem, these alleged professionals completely make it worse/aggravate the situation/worsen the here issue! Now my whole bathroom is underwater. I'm guessing they messed up somewhere along the way.
- Example 1: : They flipped a pipe that wasn't supposed to be touched/meant to be tampered with/intended for modification. Now my toilet is spouting water/gushing out liquid/overflowing.
- Another instance:: They left tools behind/forgot essential parts/failed to remove debris, creating a bigger mess/causing further complications/leading to additional problems. Now I have damaged pipes on top of the original issue.
Frankly, I'm furious. I need a new plumber, and I need one immediately! This whole experience has been a nightmare.
