This man named Mike came to fix a leak that was from the outside faucet. He had to put 2 huge holes in my wall from the inside of the house to replace the pipe leading to the outside faucet. He replaced a busted copper pipe with a garden hose. I didn't know any differnt because I was living in Georgia at the time, but planning to move back to that house. He called, said that it was all done and taken care of and I sent him a check for $245.00. He called back and said that it had been leaking so bad that it had mold growing under the sheet-rock and told me that he could spray this chemical to kill it so we didn't have to tear sheet-rock out and it would be alot cheaper. I gave him the go ahead. He did it 2 days before I moved back into that house so I waited to pay him until I got back to the house. He said that the spray was going to cost $125.00 and I ask why so much and he said it was because he had to put 13 small holes in between all those boards where the insulation was. So I moved back and saw that there were still 2 huge holes from the previous plumbing problem with the faucet that he was supposed to have fixed but didn't fix and I only saw 3 holes in the wall from the spray. I assumed that he wasn't finished and maybe he had to do it in stages. I called and couldn't get in touch with him. I left message on top of message and he never returned my call. Finally the wall was smelling so bad and the mold was coming through the sheet-rock so in frustration, we just ripped it off. It was a good thing we did because he had never fixed the leak. It was still leaking just as bad as it ever was. The brand new carpet that I had put down was all wet and he was no where to be found. When I called back it said that his phone was temporarily disconnected. I called the other number on his business card and a woman answered and said she would tell him about my problem. I haven't heard from him and I am doubtful that I ever will.
All I can say is that if you live in the Murfreesboro, Nashville, Columbia Tennessee area and looking for a plumber, he advertises in the paper because that is where I found him. Just stay away from him. Run the other way as fast as you can run. He didn't finish the job, didn't fix it correctly and left me with the biggest mess you have ever seen AND took my money.
