Disaster in the kitchen

It was early in the morning. The water connection in the kitchen started to leak even with the tap was closed. The kitchen floor was flooded with water. Had to close the main connection and that meant no water everywhere.
The plumber just picked up the phone after calling him umpteen number of times - says he has a bad stomach and so kept his phone in a silent mode.
Before closing the main however collected some water for emergencies at the cost of more floodding the kitchen
The plumber's team has arrived and they are busy with fixing it.
What a day I say

There is always a budget for such contingencies.

The head plumber is here but he will first tell me it is difficult and then I see he has done the job and will be completed in a while.

Really a bad way to start the day. Hope the plumber team do the needful and whether you have saved enough water for normal things if required

It's so stressful when things like this happen. All of a sudden we have to call a plumber ready to fix it especially since the mess came from the kitchen which we use a lot.

Its a darn inconvenient that's for sure. I bet you paid a lot if one more plumber was fixing your pipes in the kitchen.

They only had to remove one granite slab from where the connection was and they have now fixed everything. They had to change the tap as well.. Did cost something but not much.

It's all done now. Thank you. That is the advantage of living in small towns where we get fast service. We have had this guy for years. I did get worried when he was not picking up the phone in the wee hours of the morning as he later said he had kept his phone in silent mode as he had issues with his stomach and did not want to be disturbed.

That was a true disaster. We get good service here and the first thing we did was to store some water and turn off the main until they turned up.

Some things are the same world over. Those things are plumbing problems and hard to reach plumbers. May I add they are also expensive. I have some plumbing issues going on myself.

Not expensive. They had to knock off that piece of granite, and fix the attachments again with a new tap.

We have had this plumber for years. He sent his men to be on the job. He later joined and now everything is back to normal.

In our case the connection got snapped and water just gushed filling the kitchen. We immediately stopped the main connection. The work is over and everything is back to normal
