Plumbers are relatively expensive, particularly if they are called at night and on
weekends. It is not uncommon for a plumber to ask you for something to drink while
he works.
If you are having major work done (replacing pipes, installing new fixtures like
toilets and sinks, etc.), it is a good idea to ask several different plumbing companies
for estimates.
II. DIALOGUE
Plumber: What seems to be the trouble?
You: Look, there’s an inch of water on the floor. What a mess! Can you fix it?
Plumber: No sweat. Where’s the main water valve.
You: The what?
Plumber: Do you know where I can cut off the water?
You: I think it’s in the closet. What shall I do about all the water on the floor?
Plumber: Tell the manager to call a carpet cleaning service. They’ll take care of it for
you. Do you have any coffee?
You: I’ll make some. What a way to end my trip!
Plumber: Have you been on vacation?
You: Not exactly. How much is this going to cost?
Plumber: I’m pretty sure the apartment owners will cover it, as long as you didn’t
cause the problem yourself.
You: How could I? I’ve been out of town for weeks.
