A legitimate source of the new leak was discovered by the plumber (father of the previous plumber). The earlier repair on the bathroom drain stack appears to have broken the tub drain trap, which makes more sense than the work damaging the tub caulking.
No additional charge, although now we have far more water damage in the kitchen and several holes in the kitchen ceiling to fix in addition to the original holes in the wall.
Bummer. Been there, done that, and didn't enjoy it one bit.
ReplyDeleteBut...isn't it usually the other way around? As in, a son taking over for his father?
The son is clearly not ready to take over for the father in this case...
