Plumber needed urgently: Swati's home isn't safe

Swati 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.

In February 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 $230 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 $35. The job should take about four 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 never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

        Sending good thoughts. It takes guts to ask. Well done. After 25 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings

              Hope it all works out, Swati. Your post was clear and honest. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.

                  Wishing you the best, Swati. Shared this with my family. My husband and I read this together. Greetings from Campinas.

                    Thinking of you and your family. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. I went through something like this 12 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless.
