Help Daniel with a roofer's skills: a burst pipe behind the wall
Daniel has a burst pipe behind the wall, and can't afford a licensed roofer to fix it; a few hours of professional help would make the home safe.
🇧🇷 Petrópolis, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil881 views
In May an inspector told me that my home has a burst pipe behind the wall. It's a safety risk for me and my three children. The landlord has refused to act, and quotes of $650 are beyond us.
I'm looking for a licensed roofer who may be able to donate a few hours or do the repair at cost. I can cover the parts, which I estimate at $70.
The job should take about three 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 roofer and can help, or know a program that assists with this sort of repair, I'd really appreciate it.
Thank you for reading my story.

Hang in there. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Warren.
