Question about plumber's responsibility for a leak that didn't show up right away

The mold was up by the ceiling where it meets the wall - tthe tub is above that so I knew it wasn't good. The bathroom above was remodeled about four years ago and all of the plumbing was replaced. Any and all replies will be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Nick You answered your own question. No contract, and _usually_ there is a one year warranty. Now, 4 years later you discover a leak. Who is to say, you didn't have a heat failure, and the cold started to burst the pipes there. Who is to say, someone didn't puncture the plumbers work with a drywall screw. Your thinking the plumber is some how responsible 4 years later, is utterly ludicrous. Quit being an ass. What would I do? I'd call the plumber and tell him I've got it all opened up and have found a foulty solder joint. Would he like to come and redo it for me ? I'd tell him I'm not holding him responsible for the damage done but would appreciate if he'd make good on the actual plumbing repair. My guesss is if he's any kind of a man at all he'll agree and look after it. . Either that or I'd just fix it myself - since I'm capable and have all the required tools. |
