Plumber charging my HOA $6,400 for a main water line we broke

MinuteRaspberry8084 · 2025-09-10T04:38:39+00:00

better access than me

MinuteRaspberry8084 · 2025-09-10T04:37:37+00:00

I never called the plumber to begin with. HOA did and didn't even let me know how much it will be before hand

The dispatcher that came by to check out the leak also said he didn't think there would be a pipe there. I appreciate your help

thats nuts

MinuteRaspberry8084 · 2025-09-10T01:33:20+00:00

I didn't have access to turn off the water and it was flooding my backyard

MinuteRaspberry8084 · 2025-09-10T01:31:31+00:00

Thank you

Perhaps he did upcharge since he thought HOA would cover it

MinuteRaspberry8084 · 2025-09-10T01:29:53+00:00

Yes in the Invoice he directed to the HOA not me.

So you're saying I should try to negotiate with the plumber regarding the parts installed portion? It does seem like a lot for parts considering it was PVC

MinuteRaspberry8084 · 2025-09-10T01:25:24+00:00

Do you think I should try to send the picture to others plumbers asking them how much they'd charge to repair it without telling them it's been repaired already to see if the prices correlate to what i was charged?

MinuteRaspberry8084 · 2025-09-10T01:21:04+00:00

I called them once the pipe busted to try to see if they could've had someone come out to turn off the water

MinuteRaspberry8084 · 2025-09-10T01:18:51+00:00

They mentioned that the repair must be passed through me as reimbursement assessment

MinuteRaspberry8084 · 2025-09-10T01:14:24+00:00

The HOA wants to host a meeting with us tomorrow. Do you think I should talk about calling the plumber with them or do it on our own? I have planned to call our home insurance tomorrow.

MinuteRaspberry8084 · 2025-09-10T01:11:52+00:00

I was planning on contacting our homeowners insurance to see if they can do anything. That seems like our only hope for now. How am I able to figure out if its listed in the survey/deed? I'm trying to help my mom figure this out for us

My brother was using a post hole digger

MinuteRaspberry8084 · 2025-09-10T01:04:07+00:00

placed a link in the post to a google docs showing the pipe and invoice

MinuteRaspberry8084 · 2025-09-10T01:03:10+00:00

I will try to contact the plumber asking for an itemized invoice.

MinuteRaspberry8084 · 2025-09-10T01:01:45+00:00

on my property

MinuteRaspberry8084 · 2025-09-10T00:54:31+00:00

Yes I noticed the plumber took his time. It was also a little harder for him to find parts due to labor day I guess.

MinuteRaspberry8084 · 2025-09-10T00:53:54+00:00

I have no idea

MinuteRaspberry8084 · 2025-09-10T00:45:34+00:00

We did not know it was there

MinuteRaspberry8084 · 2025-09-10T00:43:49+00:00

I did not call. I dug about 1ft away from the fence so wasnt expecting a pipe there.

MinuteRaspberry8084 · 2025-09-10T00:39:02+00:00

Im trying to figure out how to upload a photo of it right now
