I hired Brock Bunge to install a vanity in a downstairs bathroom. This is a nice colonial style new vanity from Lowes. He installed it around September. A few months later, it started leaking water and I didn't know why. Since this is new, I didn't think there should be anything defective here and was worried I would have to take the unit back to Lowes.
I called a Plumber who opened up the pipes and told me there is no plumber's putty on the pipes and the guy who installed it used the wrong gage of pipe for the job. I still had the manual for this vanity and I opened up the installation instructions and read it. It says to put silicon around the thread. Brock never bothered to put either one. The plumber told me he prefers plumber's putty for pipes. He fixed it and there are no more leaks.
This was a simple job to do, not rocket science. One would think that when you hire a "General Contractor, " as Brock calls himself, he would take the trouble and for one extra minute put on the silicon or putty but this guy couldn't be bothered to do any of this. This is a man who claims that he does a lot of plumbing work but the facts demonstrate the exact opposite.
This guy Brock Bunge is a crook and anybody considering hiring this man should beware that shoddyness is something he takes pride in.
