Roofer needed urgently: Eva's home isn't safe
Eva has a burst pipe behind the wall, and cannot afford a licensed roofer to fix it; a few hours of professional help would make the home safe.
🇳🇱 Utrecht, Utrecht, Netherlands1,916 views
In May an inspector told me that my home has a burst pipe behind the wall. It's a safety risk for me and my newborn. The landlord has refused to act, and quotes of $540 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 $230.
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 roofer and can help, or know a program that assists with this sort of repair, I'd really appreciate it.
Glad we found this place.
