Will These Plumbers Properly Fix a Water Heater Leak?

Can these repairmen fix a simple water heater leak or will they try to sell us an expensive replacement? Inside Edition rented a house in Montclair, New Jersey, for an entire month, tricking it out with cameras and then calling the fix-it guys to see what happened. The footage was transmitted in real time to a remote command post. In Inside Edition's second installment in a special series of investigations, we created a simple water heater leak, then called a variety of different plumbers to see what they would do. #InsideEdition

Why not promote the plumber's business who fixes it and was honest .

“I didn’t wanna fidget with the thing” bro thats your job, you’re meant to fidget with it til you find the problem

“He said it was 100% broken.”
“Well he’s 100% wrong”

😂 that got me!

[nemesis]

"He said its 100% broken!" "Well I think he's 100% wrong"

That was a smooth plumbers comeback!

The first guy should get a raise, he didn’t even charge a service fee

Shady plumber inspects water heater.

I'm a plumber, I work in my family's over 50 year old plumbing business, and I'm sick and tired of scumbags like those 2. Plumbers, or any contractors, that screw people make all the rest of us look bad!! One of the things my Dad always told me was "whatever's fair and honest son, whatever's fair and honest."

*Adjustable Wrench:* "Imma 'bout to end this plumber's whole career."

[davienparker]

"Is it broken?" "Yes." "So it's not broken."

I enjoy watching people attempt to rip someone off and get humiliated,

My dad was a plumber and he had clients that would call him for a second opinion. This happened all the time. He never stooped to their level and would expose the scammer to his customer. He was an honest handyman.

Always be honest. My buddy does HVAC, does everything 100% right, always gives a good price. He has so much work he can't keep up with it all.

“It’s not broken”

“Yes it is”

It’s a simple spell but quite unbreakable

[BeemerTwelve]

"It's an honest mistake", I mistook you for someone I could rip off.

My water heater had a problem a few years back and I was quoted between $600 - $800 to fix it so I had my brother in law (a fix everything kinda guy) look at it, he left and came back 20 minutes later, fixed it in under 3 minutes and said "don't worry about paying me, the part was under $3 dollars."

Always get a second opinion without telling the next guy you had it looked at already and then research it. much can be taught on YouTube for free that will save you hundreds.

"Our expert says that's a lame excuse". Oh really? Thank God the expert was there to let us all know that....

[trizzedy]

The people who did the right thing should earn $100

Inside edition, please make more of these videos, like the garage door, the air vents, the water heater.

"It's broken. A 100 %"

Wrench: hold my beer

Might as well become an actual robber... At least he would be honest with himself
