When a plumber needs to cut a hole in the wall to access a pipe, who’s responsible for fixing it? That’s the question raised in a TikTok by The Plumber’s Plunger, where he’s swapping out a couple of compression multi-turn angle stops. He says every company he’s worked for has had the same policy: plumbers don’t patch. But he always makes sure to let the customer know upfront that a hole will be made and left as-is.
Is that the norm? Should plumbers be responsible for patching, or is it up to the homeowner to call in a drywall pro? Drop your thoughts.
