Help Harold with a plumber's skills: faulty wiring that trips the power and smells of burning
Looking for a licensed plumber in Detroit to donate time or work at cost.
🇺🇸 Detroit, Michigan, United States502 views
In June an inspector told me that my home has faulty wiring that trips the power and smells of burning. It's a safety risk for me and my newborn. The landlord has refused to act, and quotes of $1,400 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 $300.
The job should take about eight 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.
Thank you for reading my story.

rooting for you. Your post was clear and honest. Take care
Rooting for you, Harold. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Please keep us posted. All the best
wishing you peace, Harold. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
good luck, Harold. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. God bless
Gave what I could, wish it was more. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from Mobile.
Hang in there, Harold. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. My neighbor in Kochi donated after I showed her your page.
