Is there a roofer who can donate a few hours in Johannesburg?
A roofer is needed to repair a burst pipe behind the wall at the home of a family of 4.

In April an inspector told me that my home has a burst pipe behind the wall. It's a safety risk for me and my two small children. The landlord has refused to act, and quotes of $290 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 $25.
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.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

so sorry you're going through this, Gareth. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My neighbor in Jaipur donated after I showed her your page. Blessings
I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Wish I lived closer to Nashik so I could bring a meal. Blessings.
Best of luck. I hope things turn around soon. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Blessings!
