Help Kingsley with a plumber's skills: a burst pipe behind the wall
Kingsley has a burst pipe behind the wall, and can't afford a licensed plumber to fix it; a few hours of professional help would make the home safe.
🇳🇬 Lagos, Lagos, Nigeria202 views
In November an inspector told me that my home has a burst pipe behind the wall. It's a safety risk for me and my elderly mother. The landlord has refused to act, and quotes of $240 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 $25.
The job should take about six 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.

I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I have a 17 year old who wants to send good wishes too. All the best

You're not alone, Kingsley. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I went through something like this 10 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from São Paulo

Take care, Kingsley. Your post was clear and honest. Greetings from Bogotá.
