Plumber needed urgently: Christopher's home isn't safe
Looking for a licensed plumber in Brisbane to donate time or work at cost.
Anywhere in the world491 views
In August an inspector told me that my home has dangerous exposed wiring in two rooms. It's a safety risk for me and my newborn. The landlord has refused to act, and quotes of $1,750 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 $145.
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 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.

Thanks for sharing this. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of Brisbane!
So sorry you're going through this, Christopher. I hope things turn around soon. Sent it to 27 people at work.
So sorry you're going through this, Christopher. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Brisbane.
I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. My neighbor in Embakasi donated after I showed her your page. Greetings from Embakasi.
Shared it with a few friends. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. God bless
