 | Plumber issues ... what would be the best way to handle this |

Question: A few weeks ago I called a plumber to replace the main valve in my apt. Plumber 1 (licensed and contrator for a large plumbing company) installed the wrong stem and caused a leak to the floors below I had to call Plumber 2 to smash through the tiles and replace the piping backend (weld/solder whatever), at a significant cost to myself. So far all I have heard is of water damage to cabinets and food stuffs, nothing major YET and its been more than a few days. I want at MINIMUM a full refund from plumber 1 and I am seriously considering pursuing the company he works for ... for the cost I incurred having to pay for a second plumber to fix the mess at a significant cost. What would you do?
Answer: -I would have demanded plumber one fix all damage. If he refused, I would have hired plumber 2 and sued plumber 1. If you failed to do the first part of that, you might well be out of luck. A judge will take your failure to be bad faith, and rule against you. If nothing else, you had better find out what actually happened, as your explanation doesn't make any sense. -Don't you even make mistake? If I were the OP'er, I'd call him back and let him make it right and pay for the damage. Decent trade peole have insurance to cover themselves.
