Plumbing Scam Investigation - Dateline NBC

 
Didn’t watch the entire video, but as this is Terb, have to say that I would love to check out Jenny’s plumbing.
 
Sounds like the OP has a grudge against plumbers, maybe he got F 'ed by a big fat sweaty plumber.
 
There are scum bags like that everywhere. I seen many hot water heaters fail. They rot out the bottom. Virtually impossible to explode. Point is buyer be aware. My father got scammed like this. He was old and over trusting.
 
One thing I stress to friends who are not technical savvy is to always google the symptoms of any appliance that is not working properly. If they spend 20 - 30 minutes researching the problem they can educate themselves enough to have a base understanding of what may be happening and if they require the services of a technician, they can at least come across as somewhat knowledgeable when they have to deal with repair person.

I have had minor issues with stoves, washers, dryers water heater, furnace, etc. and was amazed at how much a little research helped (not to mention how to repair said piece of equipment).

I am not an auto mechanic but when something does not seem right with my vehicle, I will google the problem and at least get an idea of what is happening. This knowledge makes it much easier for me to explain to my mechanic since his first question will be "What's the problem?".

LOL! I never google medical symptoms as it all leads to death within 24 hours. I have a runny nose. It is either a cold or your eyes are melting and seeping out through your nose. If you have other symptoms such as breathing in and out or getting drowsy late at night, go directly to the emergency ward.

I had to teach my grandmother how to clean her clogged toilet instead of paying a plumber $100

Where in Toronto can you get a qualified plumber for $100? I think the minimum is at least $200 to come to your house.

My neighbor said he knew someone who could install a new toilet. The darn thing kept leaking. Finally, American Standard sent a real plumber (no charge) to my house and he fixed the leak in 5 minutes.
