Structural inspectors aren’t the only ones who can tell if you’re living in a s****y home. Plumbers can do that too. Recently, a plumber who goes by the nickname Bfizzle shared just a fraction of all the weird stuff he has seen on the job (unfortunately, Verizon lost a bunch of photos when he changed phones), but it’s clear that too many contractors simply don’t care what they’re building.

#1 Your Sewer Is Blocked

“I’m 27 and live in the greater Seattle area. Been a plumber for 2 years and an apprentice 3 years before that,” Bfizzle told Bored Panda. “I’d say one of the most common reasons I get called is because a house has cheap plumbing. For example, if you buy a $50 toilet, you’re going to have issues with it in the near future.”

Even a leaky faucet can become a big deal. For example, if it drips just once per second, it still can waste more than 3,000 gallons of water per year.

#2 Candles Left On The Toilet Tank

“Another big thing is that home builders don’t ever think ahead, I had to replace a shower valve yesterday and there was a fireplace behind it so the only way to access it was to smash the tile inside the shower,” the plumber explained.

#3 Reach For It

According to the professional, the easiest way to make sure your plumbing is in good condition is to make sure it’s up to code. “The plumbing code exists for a reason, and just because an inspector passed off on it doesn’t mean it is. Inspectors don’t go in your crawl space and aren’t really even tested on their code knowledge. A certified plumber will know.”
