If a repaiman doesn't fix the leak properly, could the individual get reimbursed?

Question

My dad found this repairman to fix our fireplace since it was leaking b/c of the excessive amounts of rain we have been getting. However, the repairman said he fixed it, but when it rained again it was still leaking n my dad payed him. What I don't understand is, couldn't my dad requested it to b properly fixed n then payed him???? I was so mad b/c he recieved his money for the faulty one, and then he came again to fix it n then got payed additionally for that. Don't u think that's unfair, and that he didn't deserve to b payed 2x in a row?? I personally think that's just being manipulative!!!

Answer 1

call him and tell him its still leaking he should return to fix it right without any additional charge.

Answer 2

You're dad should take his complaint to the Better Business Bureau. He may even be able to make a complaint to some kind of board that oversees local plumbers. Plumbers have liscences, and those liscences can be taken away if they do not perform. That will not happen here, but he will be notified that someone made an official complaint. Your dad could try to take him to small claims court, but I don't think they like to get involved with things like that, and they will probably rule in favor of the plummer. "Payed" is also spelled "paid."

Answer 3

I would need the contract and description of work performed each time to make a decision.

Answer 4

You could tell them to re-imburse you or threaten to call all of your friends and tell them that the certain plumbing company won't fix leaks.

Answer 5

If it was suppose to be fixed and not, it should have been repaired again at no additional cost.

Answer 6

You should be able to. Your dad shouldn't have paid him for a screwed-up job.

Answer 7

he shouldnt pay again
