Plumbing Company Misdiagnosed Issue
medical malpractice attorney Maryland Aug 5, 2026
Location: Maryland Late June, I had sewage backup in my basement. I called a plumber and they did various tests and snakes to clear it, and to determine where the issue is. They determined it was a faulty pipe inside the house. $10000 later, they redid the piping inside. 2 weeks later the issue happened again with backup in the basement. The plumber mentioned that he left a towel in the piping and that was the cause of the issue and removed it. It happened once more and I called another plumbing company that mentioned it was a city pipe that was causing the issue. I called the city, and they cleared the pipe. Is there any restitution that I can get from the original plumbing company, given that they misdiagnosed the issue, did all the work that didn't fix the issue, and still charged us for everything?
