@Patty18 : Have you talked to a lawyer yet? You really need to. If for no other reason than her standing in the neighborhood she NEEDS to accept some of the responsibility for this fiasco. You have to be very careful of what you say so she does not try to sue you for slander, but even she should know a happy customer might tell one or two people, an unhappy one tells at least 14. I know her name is now on my list of people to avoid like the plague.

@susieq: @susieq: she can't sue me for slander as I had said nothing but the truth. Yep, will be seeing an attorney, Once I can leave my house. I thought they would be done this week but it looks like next week🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

I think you are being skinned by someone in this horrid tale. Saw where your plumber just ran into your home.
I would have driven down to visit Michael Cullingweeks ago. The "Manvel Anvil" of late night TV. Completely competent and honest.
I learned the hard way on a new home plumbing warranty issue thirty years ago.. Builder blew me off, his contract plumbers insurance tried to strong arm me into accepting incomplete repairs and on related damages.
Once I hired an attorney they quickly agreed to pay up. There is a "bad faith" clause which can lead to a judgement of triple damages.

@Patty18 : "My inspector didn't note anything so this is my fault, my problem!!"
That can not possibly be true! You are no expert, so you hired him because he is! It was his negligence that led to this problem, for not seeing thru the lies everyone else is telling. As an inspector, he must carry insurance to pay for mistakes like this. This is like taking a used car to an inspector, who fails to tell you what's wrong with it before you buy it.

My heart and thoughts are totally on your side of this fiasco...
Please keep updating us on what is being done to help you....
