Long story short, I had low water pressure in my rent house & called a plumber to inspect my hot water tank,(dip tube to be exact).He said the water heater was not the prob. After changing 2 faucets he said my galvanaized pipes had rust in them & that was the prob. So he talks me into changing the water pipes. I paid him half & at the end of the job he tells me that the dip tube was bad after all and he had to flush the water heater 10 times to clear the debris. Well I told him I'm not paying him the other half b\c he was negligent in inspecting the water heater. Now he has liened my house. What are my chances in taking him to court & having the lien removed and recovering all I've paid him? Keep in mind he abandoned all the old water pipes, so he didnt show me the old pipes. I'm going to take him to court regardless. I'm just trying to get a feel for what I can expect when I get to court....now I find out that the water line that he changed from the water meter to the house was already pvc, he changed out the old pvc and put new pvc. he did all the work w/o a work permit, waited 171 days to call in for the inspection, which failed.
