Plumber Causes Major Flood In Apartment

- Read the full description below. This is a lesson in why you should never hire cheap labor.
Full description:
All hiring and decisions were exclusively between the landlord and plumber. The woman with the steam vacuum is the tenant of this low income apartment with her two children. They reported a leaking bathroom sink to their landlord. The landlord, a very problematic, very cheap, Persian female, calls in a self-appointed Hispanic plumber named Wilmer. Wilmer is the kind of cheap labor that cuts corners to try and save money.
It should come as no surprise, with these buildings having been built in the 1970's and earlier, that nothing is up to code. This means, in order to shut the water off for this one apartment, the entire building's water would have to be shut down. The apartment complex requires a $150 fee to be paid every 30 minutes the water is turned off. The shut off valves and water heaters are behind locked doors and are only accessible by the complex staff. This is obviously a flawed system compared to the ideal of each apartment having separate shut off valves. The landlord is far too cheap to do anything about it.
Wilmer tried to please the cheap landlord by saving her $150 on the bill - you guessed it - by repairing the leak with the water still on. Wilmer, confident in his abilities and armed with his trusty 5 gallon bucket, knows that he will always get her return business if he pulls this off. He gets underneath the sink and unleashes a 90PSI torrent of steaming hot water (don't worry, the minion slippers are fine).
All in all, two apartments were ruined, and all affected tenants had to vacate the apartment for extensive repair. This video proved the incompetence of both the landlord and plumber, thus, the landlord was forced to pay all damages to all parties involved.
For all the morons who complain that I should have put down the camera and helped this water-logged jackass - I chose not to help for liabilities sake, and instead documented the incident. The landlord tried to pull a fast one and blame the tenants, but the video proved the tenants innocence, and the lying bitch of a landlord was held accountable for the entire situation. Who can deny how funny this video ended up being. Without this video, the tenants would have been screwed over, and you wouldn't be laughing your ass off at this hilarious situation. Quit watching if you think otherwise.
Last, I am not a tenant here, but I am friends with these folks. They are good people. After the flood, they relocated to a much newer apartment complex that is owned and run by a trustworthy landlord. Their new apartment is maintained regularly and is up to code.
Always document incidents like this, it saved these people and can very well save you from a lawsuit - the same reason many people buy dash cams.
In the first 3 months, between Liveleak, WorldStar, and CZcams, this video has pulled in 1.3 million views! - Zábava
Dude props to my man *Wilmer* for man-handling *90* *PSI* of fucking blastoise using hydro pump, shits steaming too bruh
Fr moist gang
It's like hydro pump and scald having an angry child.
Moist gang wys
Vibe check
Wilmer is just a human tank
Too greedy to pay 150$ to shut the water, ended up paying for reparing two apartments
AHAHAHAAH WHAT A CHEAP BASTARD
150 every 30 minutes is quite a lot if it takes him a long time but better then spending thousands
@@womp47 what's funny is that really can be done in 30 minutes if one knows what the heck should do
@@womp47 if it took his 14 min w the water on it would’ve been easy to do under 30 min w the water off
@@womp47 Your talking at Max she would have had to spend 300 to $450 now she has to spend thousands coz she's a cheap douchebag.

This is when Phil Swift came up with his idea for Flex Seal
Hey, Phil Swift here with Flex Tape!
Bro I just feel fucking bad for the lady other self appointed plumber he’s not even a real plumber he just calls himself some for self and pointed and does it to make a little side cash and the landlord called him up because she’s fucking cheap and the lady inside of the apartment is going to have to pay thousands I just fucking feel bad for them
I’m dead
@@thediscussionshow5785 The Landlady had to pay everything
MOM GRAB THE FUCKING FLEX TAPE!!!!!!!!
Yeah a $200 issue turned into a $20000 problem
its the Conservative way
+myphonyaccount
A competent plumber would know how to block the flow of water in the pipe, before it sprays out all over the place. There are tools that do this.
myphonyaccount how many times did you comment that on this video? It was stupid enough the first time
myphonyaccount how is this conservative I think you got it backwards
myphonyaccount if I see another comment I swear to fucking god
The landlord wanted to be cheap but ended up paying way more for damages. I love these stories of instant karma. 😂
Wasnt so instant, and no one got away unscathed. Karma did all of em dirty.
sometimes you gotta spend money to save money
@@coldbutcomfortablewinterbr2636 Bro wdym the family got a whole new apartment basically lol
Plumber paid all of it
@@coldbutcomfortablewinterbr2636 actually, the landlord had to pay *ALL* parties affected, so she was really th only one hurt here luckily
Grandma with the vaccum really saved the apartment from any major damage
Didn’t really matter though since they got a new apartment anyway courtesy of the stupid landlords checkbook
When you can actually sense the sarcasm through text, it is done proper. Thank you, sir.
Silver lining, at least the carpets clean
@@draconicusmathiusanytherio7630 the water vac did absolutely nothing to minimize water damage as the tank filled up quickly. Also the amount of water coming out was too much to to stop anyway.
No matter what you say about this situation you have to give respect to that guy. He was getting burned with hot water and never walked away. He tried and tried and tried.
He literally walked away multiple times
Walked away to get more tools

This is what Mario going up against the final boss irl looks like.
He actually looks a bit like Mario from what you can see here, got the mustache at least

I thought it was vertically, with a 240pixel camera.
True true you need a good view
Yes, OMG, thank you to the OP for filming correctly!
Pretty much you're right, it allowed all those who were affected be reimbursed since it was clearly the landlords fault, good on the dude documenting what was happening
At least he didn't need a shower when he came home from work.
Simon Thomas 😂
Simon Thomas good on ya mate looking at the positives
Simon Thomas hahahaha
More like skin grafts. It was boiling hot.
Instead he needed a lawyer
I’m in the HVAC and plumbing trade and whenever I have a bad day, I like to watch this video because no matter how bad my day was, it will never be as bad as the day this guy had.
“Stubborn land lady refuses to cut off water and floods apartment with confused plumber” fixed your title
This has nothing to do with your comment, but the cat on your pfp is cute
@@Avada_ontop I don't think that's a cat
Well, the plumber apparently also chose not to cut the water to save the landlady’s money and get hired later too.
Apartment for rent. Freshly cleaned. Indoor pool installed. Move in ready.
I love the plumber's determination, like his clothes was soaked, he was absorbing all the water, ( even the steaming! ) and help given to the people.
He fucked up since he accepted to attempt a repair with a water pressure of 50-90 PSI
i know. poor guy. like YEAH he caused this. He's a fucking idiot who should be fired. But shit. That water was steaming. That must've hurt & he didn't give up. He had a couple'a shit ideas, but he can hustle.
It's the plumbers 'determination' that caused this. He should've done everything sooner, hes panicked
It wasn't the plumbers fault it's the landlords fault look at the description
@@vincentpena922 it was both their faults
Why would people even say you should drop the camera and help? This is what hiring someone is for. So you don't have to do anything. Im glad this video helped the tenants.
The dipshits should have turned the water off in the beginning
Adding to your comment,
"The landlord, a very problematic, very cheap, Persian female, calls in a self-appointed Hispanic plumber named Wilmer. Wilmer is the kind of cheap labor that cuts corners to try and save money."

@@ihatealmosteverythingequal820 yeah ok dude all they had to do was turn the faucet off or at least spin it left for cold water
Shoutout to the plumber for not drowning. He's a living boiled crab
Ok Charlie.
Lmao 😂😂😂
"Is the water turned off?"
"Yeah it's off."
Turns corner, water blasting in plumbers face.
"It doesn't look very off."
Gentlemen, it has been a privilege vacuuming with you tonight.
jesus christ somebody save that man he’s being cooked alive in there
I feel like the only person who did the right thing was the person who documented the entire thing.
Nice parroting
@@J_Caban I feel like the only person who did the right thing was the person who documented the entire thing
And the vaccum. The vaccum did its best
Also gotta add the leaking pipe. Without that pipe, we wouldn’t have had this document.
no the landlord refused to turn off the water making it way more difficult to fix
The plumbers only mistake was agreeing to work on the pipe while under pressure. While he was being scalded, he was doing his best to try to stop more damaging from happening. He got talked into a job he should have refused to do.
150 bucks
the landlord was so greedy just turn off the water
this is at least 70% landlord's fault
What about the 30%?
100% landlords fault
I would like to say 100% for not allowing the plumber to turn off the water.
Yes the landlord didn't make the best decision in the world but it's not entirely his fault, the one who fucked up the sink is at fault here
Yep I agree with this estimate😂🤣 at least 15-20% was the plumber other factors like whatever water demon possessed the sink at that point and the shitty piping
No one in the building is appreciating that this man is fighting Poseidon to keep him from claiming the building for the ocean
That's some good water pressure.
poor guys just tryin to make a living and getting hired by people who want them to cut corners. that water pressure dont feel good an he's eatin that hot water. you cant see you, cant feel, your burnin, you cant stop it, but he held in there
As a plumber myself , I give this man credit for his dedication to stopping the water . What most likely happened is the angle stop broke while he was making the repair. Exact thing happened to me but thank god it was only cold water when it happen to me , this man was trying to stop a hot water supply.
This was Wilmer’s Vietnam. Probably has PTSD from that hot steamy water & abuela’s vacuum.
Craigslist: Apartment up for sale. Great condition... very minor water damage.
For anyone who didn't read the description. They couldn't shut off the water for just one apartment. It was such an old apartment complex they had to shut the water off for the whole building. And the complex had to pay a fine of $150 every 30 minutes it was off. Landlord refused to pay that. So plumber was willing to attempt to fix with the water running.
They could have turn off water at water heater since it's was the hot water supply line. If they didn't have access then refuse the work, as not worth the risk. I done jobs before like this when maintaining buildings for a few people Then won't have to cut off the whole building then. Also won't be under pressure and would have been easy clean up. It was a stupid decision on both parts. Landlord at fault by not providing access to water heater during the job.
Hope the cheap ass landlord learned his lesson paying for the repairs instead of getting the water turned off for an hour.
Rich Henry landlord is a pos. Poor people.
Rich Henry haha
You got some fucked up shit were ever this is jeez.
Just showed this to my dad, he's a master plumber who's been working the same business for about 19 years, he laughed the first minute in and calmed down saying "Ah it's fine he's just going in to re screw or patch the valve." And I told him the video was 14 minutes long lol, he said this guys probably isn't an actual plumber
dude no one cares
Who asked?
Its a cheap hispanic plumber called Wilmer.
Read the description.
At least the bathroom is clean 🤣😭
and that's how Mario gave up plumbing and started saving princesses from oversized turtles.
Mario's Italian, not Hispanic. He also wouldn't have done shut a shoddy job.
@@MattNotFat But Mario was a plumber. Why you gotta ruin the joke
@@MattNotFat who said he was Hispanic? Lol
@@walmartemployee2543 the uploader literally said that the plumber is a Hispanic man named Wilmer
Who else thought the vacuum and water was satisfying
Retro rafin it’s a shampooer
Retro rafin 😂😂 Yup
Lmao
ME
Me!! He is like let's sick all the water from the city with a rigid vacuum..go rigid! I thought he would have ran..that would have been funny..keep the vacuum see ya later..
$150 compared to the unimaginable repair damage costs is absolutely nothing. It’s entirely the landlord’s greedy ass fault for this clusterfuck for not shutting off the water and end up ruining two apartments.
Just when you thought it was over, his face was the one blocking the water and according to urban legend, he was swallowing all the water
9:40 the dude filming is the only one that understands $150 is nothing compared to the damage that is being done with the water still on.
How about the lady holding an electrical cord standing in 2''' of water trying to vacuum it all up
BurningTirez hahahaha she is electric prood
Yea seriously.. So many hazards such a mess
I was more concerned about the women getting electrocuted by vacumn
Just close the cabinet doors. Problem solved.
Good luck with the water when you want your toothbrush
"these cabinet doors should never be opened"
Big iq plays right there
😆😆😆
Lol until the cabinets get full of water.
Wilmer is a good man he didn’t leave. He didn’t abandon the job. He took that 90PSI of hot steaming water like a champ
Yes but it was his fault in the first place. He probably didn't leave because people would've looked for him to pay fines. I would never show sympathy like most people are when he just ruined the house. To me, it's sad that people are siding with the plumber more than the people. He ruined there house, and it was his fault.
@@shortkid7848 because the fucking landlord didn't want to turn off the water!
@@shortkid7848 it wasn't his fault read the description
@@shortkid7848 well it wasn't their house, just a place they were renting. The landlord ruined her investment property and lost way more than 150 dollars it would have cost to turn the water off, completely forwent common sense that you can't mess with water pipes while the water is running
@@shortkid7848 This is 100% the landlords fault.
1. They should have turned off water
2. Its the landlords responsibility to hire competent workers.
Imagine you hire me to replace the tire on your car. Then i take the money and pay some 12 year old kid to replace it for me. Do you blame the kid for youe tire falling off or do you blame the shop owner you trusted your car with?

When you spend all your stat points on resistance but none on intelligence
LMAO
If I was that plumber I would have got in my car and driven home.
well at least they had a carpet cleaner standing by.
Yes the water is being vacuumed to water the roses later.
Hahah lmao
Damn props to the Plummer for being able to handle that hot water and pressure and to those saying why didn't he turn off the water, read the description smh
Always so easy to tell who's actually smart enough to read video descriptions.
How the fuck does this wven happen. It’s a bathroom sink with the water pressure of Niagara Falls funneled threw a garden hose
I can tell that a lot of people didn't READ THE DESCRIPTION.
damm man, get ur sink fixed and carpets clean what great service
Man has a head of steel. Can handle steaming hot water likes its a walk in the park
Lets all admit it tho, the real hero was the grandma with her vacuum. Not a drop of water was safe from her water bending moves
Is that from critikals stream?
A lot of these comments are similar to the jokes cr1tical made. If anything every video he does that then gets commented on I always see the jokes being reproduced but with a nice tangy twist lol
@@jasono1716 I have a very shocking theory, and I know it might sound insane but hear me out...
Perhaps, Critikals audience shares the same type of humor he does, thus they watch him 🤯
@@jff4929 So they also think about the exact same jokes?
You know, he may not be the smartest, but his sheer determination to try and fight steaming hot water at 90psi is pretty impressive.
Fully licensed and insured no doubt.
I know yall saw that little bucket he had under the sink in case it started to leak a little 😂
Piping hot water....
Lady vacuuming the carpet from the titanic...
Landlord will charge everyone for cutting off the water even though there's one shut off valve that the plummer can't turn off...
What a masterpiece
I would’ve turned off the water regardless. If said landlord wasn’t happy with that, I’d happily erase them and blacklist them as a customer.
@Tye Tapene thats why a professional would not have taken the job
@Tye Tapene just because theyre only accessible to certain people means nothing. Im a tradesman myself and if the customer wanted me to do some dumb shit i wouldnt do it
That's a good damn vacuum 😂
christopher 600cc true
christopher 600cc carpet extractor technically, it’s originally design to wet clean carpets. Just unfortunately it’s user didn’t empty the tank when I got full.
It's a carpet cleaner. not a vacuum. its meant to suck up water.
It’s a carpet cleaner uses water to fully clean carpets
its a carpet cleaner
this guy a real one tbh. taking that heat and pressure to the face like a eal one still tryin to get the job done

Arleast he tried
true she should of isolated the water supply first so shit like that dont happen. diiickkhead!!
Too true
Lmaooo
There`s no reason for that guy to shower ever again.
Dude fucking held strong though, I would have called it quits and gone home somewhere between the third degree burns from the steaming hot water and the giant pool of water in the living room.
As soon as I got scalded with hot water I would pack my stuff and go home... maybe even punch the landlord in his face on my way out for putting me in a dangerous situation
"The building is from the 70s so that means in order to shut the water off for this one apartment, the entire building's water would have to be shut down"
Bruh my building is literally from the 30s and each apartment has its own registry in an easy to access lever, who tf built this apartment complex lmao.
Legend has it she is still there vacuuming
GDMHification haha
She is still there
no
"Ledgend has it" comments are getting old. Everyone, please stop with the ledgend has it comments. Thank you.
Wow that’s a shame. That guy must have been embarrassed
But did he fix the leak??
Grandma bringing out the old wet vac.
I feel really bad for the tenants living there, they seem like really nice people. The landlord should be ashamed of herself.
at least she got some karma and had to pay for it all
Feel soo bad for that guy man😥😥
sR Torq Reminds me of one time I moved my bosses car for him... And forgot to apply the handbrake...
I imagine he felt as I felt.... As I was chasing my bosses runaway Mercedes Benz down the street...
Lol plumbers don't do that. We turn the water off first.
UsserError obviously you’ve never heard of a Mexican plumber
Anyone know this plumber's contact info? one of my pipes is leaking
You know how people use water to put out fire? Just set the apartment on fire to get rid of all the water.
its big brain time
Big brain moment
modern solutions require modern problems.
If pokemon taught me anything, you need to put a plant in front of the leak, or maybe an exposed wire...
Using the carpet cleaner to suck up water is a good idea
Chris Garcia
Carpet cleaner
It’s a hoover
Diamond Awsome but sadly lost the ability to empty it when it got full, because all they did was push the water around the floor spreading the water further away.
it cleans the carpet with water not a vacuum. i mean it sucks like one but its for deep cleaning @chris
Carpet cleaner ? Where tf are you from
Time to rip out the carpet and start replacing some drywall
For the description
Tl;dr people basically the landlord is mr krabs and loves money but doesn't want to spend it and the plumber thought he would save her money by fixing it with the water on but didn't work so the landlord try's to blame the tenant and it backfired and now the apartment is ruined so
Poor man trying his hardest getting blasted by hot water and berated by the resident all because the landlord was lazy and greedy af.
