Plumbing issues leaves Gautier homeowner frustrated

GAUTIER, MS (WLOX)- Amy Sadd hired Michael Martin to fix a bathroom in her house and some other plumbing issues.

"I made sure that Michael was on the list for the City of Gautier and he was licensed. So I went through all the right steps to make sure that he was supposed to be a good plumber," Sadd said.

Sadd is in the process of remodeling her home. One of the projects was to redo the plumbing for $3,350.

She said she paid half up front and was supposed to pay the second half when the work was done.

Gautier writer needs your help publishing book

Written by: Andy Arrington

My name is Andy Arrington and I live in Northwood Hills in Gautier, Mississippi. I am a wildlife and fisheries biologist and wanted to let you all know about a project that I am working on.

I have been taking pictures for several years now of all the wonderful creatures living in my backyard in hopes of using them to create an educational children’s book. I posted this project on Kickstarter.com (a funding platform for creative projects) and need everyone’s help if this is going to have a chance of being successful.
