The owners rejoiced at the "beautiful" renovation until the tap started to flow. Who should I ask for advice?
This is not the first time I've met this, an accident happens at the most inopportune time. I took the guests at night, I park in the yard, a neighbor comes up, the crane "collapsed", and my familiar gasman has been trying to defeat him for 2 hours. I'm going to watch your division, 25 again!
No room for error
More and more often I come across a situation when foremen do not leave access to service communications. We did it, took the money for a new object. Why it happens? Because then they do not serve what they did. Before renovation, if you do not know yourself, ask any plumber, he will immediately tell you where the components should be and where the hatch should be installed. Simply, you need the most comfortable access.
How did you get out
The gasman, a straight guy, offered to demolish the lower tiles to get to the tap, I can understand him after 2 hours of ordeal. After such a proposal, the owner's eyes widened noticeably. How to demolish?
I offhand had 3 solutions, because there were sliding pliers, as I was convinced. An irreplaceable thing in hard-to-reach places.
In general, they grabbed the fitting, and the owner turned the pipe, then the valve (the stem flew out and the gland flowed), then the valve was replaced with a new one. It remains to install a water meter in place, this is the fastest solution at that time. And in a good way, it is necessary to redo the pipe and raise the crane higher, we agreed that we will do so in the week.
