Came home to find plumber has flooded my house!!

[Best]

Just come home early from my holidays and discovered the plumber I have employed must have caused water damage.
Looks like he has drilled through his new pipework!
Do you think I should now sue him?

 

[sammathias]

Sue him for every penny he possesses

 

[ShaunCorbs]

Yep get a mop out ;D

Yeah! Take it to the hilt and destroy him on social media.

You do know you`re are entitled to book into a 5* hotel don`t you?

Don’t worry, - I am going to take him for as much as possible.
He will never lift a drill again without thinking of the consequences.

Thats why any reputable tradesmen will have public liability insurance, accidents can happen and you and your family need to be protected, recently heard of a 30k claim for a faulty shower install upstairs behind multi panel that would destroy any sole trader. Cheers kop

Don't sue the plumber - everyone on here knows that plumbers have limited funds.
But his insurance company has almost unlimited funds.
I'd go his insurance company - and take a holiday with the excess funds you collect off them for the repair works and then send the plumber a postcard each day you were on holidays.

What is wrong with you lot. Just make a house insurance claim and move on. Accidents happen and I’d be prepared to bet that the plumber works harder than most for his money

I think he only works part time.
He is always on his smart phone on some sort of forum I think.
Just my luck to get a cowboy.

Why claim on our insurance and increase future insurance cost. He who is responsible needs to correct everything damaged

You’re probably right. I certainly wouldn’t want to convince you otherwise.

Push fit iso valve is the quickest fix, push it on, turn it off, sorted.
