WTF, in my country we have water valves and gas valves just outside our appartments so we can close the water and gas. Usually behind a cupboard with a key.
The title should be "worst landlord ever". This plumber should sue the landlord for having him risk getting burnt like that.

A guy in my apartment complex got charged about $1k in damages because he put a bucket under a leaking sink BEFORE calling maintenance. Some landlords are just pure grease.
@@bustabongs4205 in an apartment complex you submit a maintenance ticket so any normal person would try to at least stop the leak immediately with something and then submit the ticket
@@bustabongs4205 I don’t think so. He warned maintenance as fast as he could, but placed a bucket under the sink to stop water from getting everywhere.
The landlord had actually sent an unlicensed plumber because it was cheaper, so the tenants recorded this as evidence to take the landlord to court for damages.
Wouldn't be surprised if it was part of "the plan". Landlords can charge you for "damages or unreasonable wear" caused during your stay. If they flood the carpets and ruin the drywall, they can nail the ex-tennants with the cost and not have to soak up the reno costs themselves. Common scum-lord tactic. Send in a scab to mess things up, blame it on tenant miss use. If the tenant doesn't have video/photo, or any solid evidence, the courts often side with property owners under the assumption of being an upstanding citizen.
@Steve Mo So if someone doesn't do shit right, they automatically deserve death? You're no better than the landlord saying scummy shit behind a computer screen.
Yep, and a landlord being a cheapskate not wanting to pay the $150 fee. Another story I heard about was someone having a leaking tap or faucet that was growing, they sent an email to the landlord, no response, sent another one, no response. They sent them a text with a video, and the landlord said “I’m not going to fix it.” The tenant just left it as obviously the landlord wasn’t going to do anything, and they got a call from the Body Corp that they needed emergency access to their apartment due to the leak getting bigger and damaging two apartments below. Tenant said yes, and they went and fixed everything. Landlord got hit with an $8,000 bill and tried blaming the tenant for it, tenant showed them the correspondence warning them of it and how the landlord “wasn’t going to fix it” and they immediately shut up. 😂
I was just thinking, I have to give this guy credit for scalding his own face and arms for several minutes. Regardless of the fact that he did this to himself, he stuck with his decision to block a steaming hot water jet with his forehead. He saw it through. I can literally see a change in his skin tone by the end of the video, presumably due to burns.
why does turning water off costs $150? I'm from germany and i don't understand :D We just go to our neighbours and ask them if it's okay to turn the water off for a few minutes and then do it in the basement
@@jojomoshmallow It says in the description it is an old apratment and turning off water would turn off the water for the whole apartment and not just that one room like modern ones. So I assume the fine would be for that reason since it affects everyone.

Literally! At the end 2 apartments were ruined, and I'd be willing to bet they took the landlord to court for some serious money. She really fucked up by not paying that $100 and for hiring cheap labor, at this point i doubt the plumber was even licensed.
I'm not sure were this was filmed bit in the uk the sink has an Individual turn of point so you can turn the water of for only the sink or only the toilet
@@addoli3000 Yeah, most apartments in Brazil have valves in order to shut off the water flow to a single bathroom or the kitchen, but apparently this is an older apartment block and the only way to shut the water off was to shut the flow for the entire building, as some other commenters have mentioned
Just get a giant snake tube and reroute the water out the window or onto the street if landlady won't turn off water. You don't wanna seal the hole because how and if you did I feel like that would create an explosion somewhere else lmao.
Should be titled “Greediest Landlord Ever” It costs zero fucking dollars to turn off your water. I’ve done it dozens of times doing my own at-home repairs.
@@xCCflierx are you stupid? Why should the plumber have to pay the landlord to do a service they've been hired to do by that landlord and their tenants?
There's always a shutoff on the line so that you don't have to shut off the water to the rest of the apartments or even the rest of that unit. The plumber is simply an idiot.
I love how they’re constantly vacuuming and grabbing buckets for the water throughout this whole thing, like wtf is that gonna accomplish y’all got a hurricane inside your apartment 😭💀
@@LaVaZ000 I mean it may have been dumb for him to try and do this. But like the landlord needed to turn the water off. now almost all of this person's stuff is ruined idk everything about plumbing but like I do think the landlord needs to cut off the water.
This is the first time I’ve ever seen someone use a vacuum this way... that doesn’t just explode? Is the vacuum bag literally just going to be a water balloon?
Main mistake this plumber made was not walking away when landlord refused to turn off the water. I've walked away from jobs I knew would go to shit due to stupid clients.
That plumber was fighting a boss with that damn sink, and that landlord was like the sink’s even overload master for refusing to turn off the sink because they didn’t wanna pay money…literal villain-type stuff. It’s insane to me too seeing the water and everything that’s flooded afterwards. Looks like an Atlantis apartment afterwards with all of that flooded wet carpet.
You have to admire the fact that he kept on going while having high pressure streams of scalding hot water shot at his face and actively being sworn at by the residents
He's gonna have to pay for the damages and if he just stopped he would have to pay for much more. He was just trying to save his ass from homelessness at that point
I remember getting a job at a hotel on the maintenance team. I had to replace a broken shower assembly, but the shutoff valve was located in an occupied room*. I decided to wing it and it turned out just like this lol.
They're just lucky he wasn't their electrician. There'd be lightning bolts shooting out of the building, it'd look like Emperor Palpatine was throwing a rave in there.
I looked up a bit about this and all the stories I can find state that it WAS the plumber’s choice to not shut off the water. Obviously the landlord could have overruled that, but the plumber thought he could save the landlord that $150. So, personally, I think both of them are in the wrong.
Just imagine in some other reality the landlord did shut off the water. This video wouldn't exist and we wouldn't be able to see charlier reacted to it
@@lobsterfool6002 if you actually watched the video and paid attention to the description you would see the landlord wouldnt allow the plumber to turn the water off
What if the vacuum explodes by sucking up to much water? by the sheer amount of water blasting at turbo speed out of that pipe? It would be one hell of a grenade, tho (This was a joke. I was trying to support your joke)
That landlady is evil if she's making this dude drown in hot water because she's too cheap to turn the water off. She's going to spend more on damages than she would have on turning the water off to save this poor plumber.
I don't understand this at all. Every house/apartment should have its own stopcock that turns off water in just that place. Why would there be a fee for that?
The worst part is that this incident probably wasn't even the plumber's fault and he was literally plunging into probably burning hot water trying to fix it but you know he will never get hired by anyone again after this video.
The plumber was unlicensed. If you watch ua-cam.com/video/lICydV9oBFI/v-deo.html&ab_channel=RogerWakefield he mentions it. (I saw this at the very start of Charlie's and wanted to watch it lol) So I don't really feel bad for him. :P Shouldn't be posing as someone you aren't, lmao.
@shell the only reason it happened was because the plumber himself told the landlord that he can do the job cheap by not turning off the water. It was the, from what the comments seem to be saying, "unlicensed" plumber that decided to flood the apartment to save money. 2 families were effected by this asshole trying to make a quick buck
@@noobXguns as a plumber myself, I can assure everyone here....yes turn off the water first, and you wouldn’t have a disaster like this. Hope they had renters insurance, but based off the sketchy landlord, I doubt he required them to get it.
Gotta admire how the plumber didn’t quit. He kept at it even though the landlord refused to shut the water off. Landlords should take note from this because this is what happens to greedy twats who cut corners.
The landlords have to pay for the damage done by law. They also have to pay for the plumbing in the first place as well. If they didn’t, they could get fined.
@@AllahsStrongestSoldier I’m guessing cause the water’s a utility covered by rental charges, so she gets a fine for cutting it off from the rest of the tenants
@@loggerhead837 depends on who's the landlord, educated landlord will know having a good relationship with its tenants will benefit both of them in long run
@@loggerhead837 You're acting like the people that rent these bummy apartments with shitty landlords have the ability to choose wherever the fuck they wanna live.
I'm just picturing the "plumber" just pulling his head out of the cabinet where all the hot water is spraying out of and he has just lost all of his skin and just has a skull and eyeballs for a head and is like: "Yeah this ain't working out..." I'm legit cracking up too much picturing that scenario...
In his defense, it seems like the landlord wouldn't shut the water off. There was literally nothing he could do to stop the spray of water as long as it was on.
I just read about the 1927 mississippi flood on wikipedia after seeing your comment, very interesting stuff. US built the largest system of levees afterwards to prevent anything like that ever happening again. you live & you learn, I guess
This was during Christmas too. What an amazing present. 6 & 1/2 minutes of pure chaos. The best was at the beginning when he took a deep breath, and then dove in to the madness.
I feel really bad for the plumber. That water looks scalding hot and he keeps getting blasted in the face by it. The whole experience seems extremely painful.
If he was a competent plumber, which he wasn't, he would have *REFUSED* to do any type of work till the water was shut off. The landlord should have informed the tenants at a later date the water was not going to be available for a set amount of time to allow the plumber to safely do his job. Especially if you're working in an apartment building. If the water gets everywhere on the fool, it could not only ruin the floor, but the ceiling of the apartment below it... Always, always turn off the water before you do *ANY* type of plumbing work.
As a repairman the next time a customer asks me if I can "fix it without having the landlord shut off water to the whole building?" I'm going to show them this video.

Literally! At the end 2 apartments were ruined, and I'd be willing to bet they took the landlord to court for some serious money. She really fucked up by not paying that $100 and for hiring cheap labor, at this point i doubt the plumber was even licensed.

@@addoli3000 Yeah, most apartments in Brazil have valves in order to shut off the water flow to a single bathroom or the kitchen, but apparently this is an older apartment block and the only way to shut the water off was to shut the flow for the entire building, as some other commenters have mentioned

I looked up a bit about this and all the stories I can find state that it WAS the plumber’s choice to not shut off the water. Obviously the landlord could have overruled that, but the plumber thought he could save the landlord that $150. So, personally, I think both of them are in the wrong.
Also, this apparently caused flooding in TWO apartments, not just this one.
Uh no dumbfuck all sources stated it was the landlords choice and ignored the advice of the plumber.
That literally just happened to me and I have just come back from fixing it. Then sat back to relax only to see this. The universe is amazing.

If he was a competent plumber, which he wasn't, he would have *REFUSED* to do any type of work till the water was shut off. The landlord should have informed the tenants at a later date the water was not going to be available for a set amount of time to allow the plumber to safely do his job.
