By all these comments, what I have noticed is all of the plumbers that take offence and say "I could do better". Well I'm sure you could. But do you? Do you really? On every job?
That is definitely horrendous work. Like an April Fools joke. IMO, plumbing is really a difficult trade. I've done it all myself: framing, foundation, electrical, stone, and by far, I find plumbing the most challenging. All it takes is one little oversight and you've got a major problem. Having said that, all your work here was pretty damn simple to do, and the guy butchered it.
You did get a scab plumber, probably unlicensed. most real plumbers do quality work. but don't believe your qualified cuz your obviously not. your job should be cut out and done correctly.
Stupid plumber hey ! your kitchen sink waste you did drops into a sanitary tee instead of a long sweep 90 or a combination t y. totally stupid, stupid . bad plumbing and a code violation everywhere
Did you find this guy on Craigs list? Doesn't seem like you shopped around for a plumber much. Word of mouth? Here's a way to find a good one. Go to the local plumbing supply house. (not Home Depot)…Ask if there's a guy who does a lot of work on his own and if he pays his bills on time.(that's me) I prolly would have done this for about 6-7 hundred. I charge $100.00 just to go under the house. Prolly would have taken me about 2 hours.
My question would be. Who's the bigger idiot ? The person doing shitty work and getting paid anyway ? Or the person paying him to do it ? Clearly, the so called/described "plumber" in this case isn't a capable individual. A lesser capable individual pretends to know more yet there's no reference to the later having the liscence or a credited certification. Which by the way I forms others you are knowledgeable in that particular field. All states hold their plumbers, electricians, HVAC technicians ect, to state and national standards. Before slandering a profession and at risk of sounding knowledgeable it may be prudent to familiarize ones self with proper and improper practices. Both ethically and professionally as well as any course of action shall the individual fail to perform the work adequately.
You sir got a “handyman”. They are running rampant everywhere and it makes the actual plumber look bad. I hope you were able to get someone to fix it correctly. I always say around here a cheap plumber will cost more that a real plumber because when he’s done a real plumber is going to have to fix it.
You suck too, your kitchen line was pitched wrong ( which lets fluid pass but lets solids get clogged ) Your hangers will not resist upward force ( not to code ) and if that main was much higher , that was pitched wrong , Too. Douchebag. Plumbers hate you too.
Before you start shitting on other people, you should take into account that shit work you did yourself, not all plumbers are that bad. Don’t be such an asshole and criticize absolutely every plumber without criticizing yourself.
Home owner so smart he stop plumber mid job and criticize his work. Sound like home owner a need go to plumbing school 101!!! If work was complete it would prolly be fine. And by the way that Santee installed wrong. That's what home owner did?
What's the run of galvanized pipe for? If it's gas you'll need to change it out. You can't use galvanized with gas. You also can't use black pipe with galvanized as it creates a galvanic reaction. I can't believe a licensed plumber is doing the work for the new plumbing and I can't believe a licensed HVAC contractor wouldn't know better then to use galvanized for gas.
I was taught by an old plumber and he would make me re do everything i did till i got it right . So i learned the hard way to do things right . I never walked away from a job with doubts or un unhappy customer. The job he did is very unperfetional . Hang in there beother best of luck ..

Plastic water pipe is a disgrace to the plumbing industry. Live in Chicago. Fuck that plastic water pipe

Not sure why you hate plumbers? Every trade has their hacks

That’s not good work either

The worst part was the hole he smashed in the foundation…
Thats called a craigslist special
And you never pay upfront
And your main line is backpitched
Clearly not a plumber

You're an idiot too, so y'all should work together!
You should have know by how cheap it was quoted. I would have been 1000.00 just to crawl around in that dirt.
Cheap plumbers aren't skilled, skilled plumbers aren't cheap
Before you start shitting on other people, you should take into account that shit work you did yourself, not all plumbers are that bad. Don’t be such an asshole and criticize absolutely every plumber without criticizing yourself.
So why not have just done it yourself and save some money.

Homee owner is smarter than plumber but he a dummy for hiring him,
Just fire him and quit bitching.
I can do a better job and I'm 12, I installed my own yard drains! !
All of it looks like shitola! I wouldn't brag on any of it!
Cheap ass , not to code . Horrible plumber and retard homeowner
