I could make a list of reasons why plumbers are so high in their prices. I'll share you one and leave it.
1. You notice a small leak in a cabinet under the sink. It's small, nothing to talk about until it gets large. Or you never look in the cabinets until it's leaking into the floor.
You call a plumber in that has to dig in all that mold and mildew to make the repairs. His head is in the cabinet breathing all that stuff in. Now a doctor or hospital visit.
Lets say the doctor visit with test and meds totals $900, a hospital visit with test and meds totals $3000. Most of the time I was working during doctor's hours. Got to re
coop my money somewhere.
