And finally... DODGY PLUMBING

Septic shock

Decramastic disaster A roofer recently screwed through the middle of the tiles on this decramastic tile roof, says Soren Ebbett of Peter Jackson Plumbing. “The client now has a very bad flood and a damaged roof.”

Greg Morrison of Whangamata Plumbing & Drainage found this bathroom mechanical vent connected to a terminal at the start of a renovation. “Think of the consequences that could happen here in the perfect storm. This is off a septic tank.”

Still some dodgy work done by not trained or qualified people.”

The owner advised the fire had never been serviced since it was installed close to 15 years ago. nzplumber
