Business ProfileforFix A Leak Plumbing

In the interest of full disclosure and fairness, I have had a couple of good experiences with Mitch in a normal plumbing application. Perhaps it was that experience that led me to hire him to finish a bathroom. We were less than pleased with the results, but I decided to chalk it up to, "You get what you pay for," and learn from my mistake (even though the total bill easily topped the 5 figure threshold). It is now a couple of years later, and I have discovered the source of an ongoing problem. My wife frequently complained of a sewer odor coming from the bathroom. After insuring the traps were not dry, we continued to notice the odor. At that point, I realized the only explanation was that the vent was not connected (picture attached). If it were in an accessible location, I would just connect the pipe myself and go on, but it would take a very small, agile person to get to it without completely tearing out the ceiling. I notified Mitch of the problem and offered him the chance to finish what we have already paid for and avoid this public disclosure. After approximately 72 hours, we haven't heard a peep. While my pencil is sharp, it should be worth mentioning a few other things.. 1. Wall finished and commode set with no water supply for commode. 2. Hole drilled through exterior wall (intended for main water supply to house) at least 2 feet above ground level. 3. Sheet rock hung in a manner that says first-time attempt. That is, cut edges butted together and cut edges butted to tapered edges. Anyone who has done sheet rock (even my wife) knows this is a nightmare to mud and tape, and the results show. The solution was a textured surface, which was a poor attempt to hide the earlier mistakes. 4. Exhaust fan vented to open space. 5. Throughout the process, the contractor took it upon himself to choose paint colors and fixtures with no consultation with my wife.
