Unless you are handy, at some point you may have to hire a plumber. There are many well-qualified, skilled plumbers. Unfortunately, some plumbers are master disasters. Here are eight reasons why I hate my plumber that worked on my home:

1. My plumber charged me $50.00 to come over to my house before stepping a foot inside. Once inside, he told me that he would charge me only $100.00 per hour for labor.
2. My plumber immediately said that my faucet needed replacing and that he could install a new one right on the spot. The price was a steal at $450.
3. My plumber said that my dishwasher was beyond repair. He said that he could install a new dishwasher for the low price of $350. For an extra $200, he could bring the new dishwasher over to my home.
4. My plumber said that he would have to use a snake to clear the pipes. He actually took a live boa constrictor to do the job.
5. My plumber said that I was missing a wax ring for my toilet. He could install this piece for $100. The part would only cost $25.00. It turns out that the wax ring costs $2.00 at the hardware store.
6. My plumber managed to break the main water valve during the course of the job
7. My plumber said that my sump pump needed replacing. He could do the installation for the low price of $500.00. He was so generous that he agreed to throw in the sump pump for free. I only overpaid by about $200.00.
8. My plumber installed a defective pipe. I had enough water in my basement to launch a ship. He insisted that he was not at fault. He said that it was divine intervention.
