Is there a plumber who can donate a few hours in Austin?
A plumber is needed to repair a failed boiler with no heating at the home of a family of 5.
🇺🇸 Austin, Texas, United States640 views
In August an inspector told me that my home has a failed boiler with no heating. It's a safety risk for me and my two small children. The landlord has refused to act, and quotes of $1,900 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 $165.
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.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

take care, Allison. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Wish I lived closer to Rohini so I could bring a meal
Praying for you, Allison. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. I'm in social work myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. God bless.
Praying for you. I hope things turn around soon. Love from Petrópolis.
