A licensed plumber to fix a dangerous fault at Lydia's home in Parramatta

Lydia has a leaking gas line, and can't afford a licensed plumber to fix it; a few hours of professional help would make the home safe.

In July an inspector told me that my home has a leaking gas line. It's a safety risk for me and my elderly mother. The landlord has refused to act, and quotes of $1,700 are beyond us. I'm looking for a licensed plumber who may be able to donate a few hours or do the repair at cost. I can cover the parts, which I estimate at $220. The job should take about four hours. I'll make sure someone is home and will provide refreshments. I can share the inspector's written report on request. If you're a plumber and can help, or know a program that assists with this sort of repair, I'd really appreciate it. I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

    Thinking of you and your family, Lydia. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care.
