We had a faucet problem for a few days and it was leaking. She hired a plumber and replace it. Later I realized after replacement the pipe was leaking, seems to have give in.
This morning he came back to replace the pipe. I thought all is well but the faucet's handle got loose and it wont' close down. Good thing he installed a stop valve. But I hate to blame him for not being choosy with the right quality faucet.
Another thing happened today, Mom forgot close faucet in the bathroom caused a small swimming pool and flood a little bit.

Thank God my dad is knowledgeable in pipes that we dont have to call a plumber. They usually make things worst.

Hello @epiffanie well, mom had other task for this guy to get fix. She'd complain if i tried to fix it. Besides, I'm not good with the choice of good faucets either.

Hello @Starmaiden It's hard to believe this had happened because he seemed to be an honest and good person. But it was just a bad day.

@Starmaiden Good call there and let me tell you this dentist that took care of my teeth once. SHe was caught for the first time years later that she didn't have a license to operate. All those years I've consulted with her and this is what I get.

@Letranknight2015 plumbers are like dentists. They never fix the problem on the first call. They always keep you calling them back.

Hello @infatuatedbby well, I guess he didn't probably know the quality of the faucet bought from the hard ware stores.

that is why we here have to have keen ears to hear if the water from the bathroom in the second floor is already dripping over the bucket.

Hello @ridingbet Luckily we don't have an active water on the second floor, it would have been a disaster if that were to happened.
