A Scots dad says he has been living in a 'building site' for weeks after being forced to rip out his bathroom wall and fix a leak in his water tank.
Craig Smith had a "major" flood in his flat in the north of Glasgow on February 14 after his bathroom water tank sprang a leak. The 43-year-old frantically called Queens Cross Housing Association to have the hole plugged – but the service took four hours to send an "emergency" plumber to his door.
Unable to wait that long, Craig tore a hole in his wall and used industrial strength sticky tack to block up the leak himself. He told Glasgow Live the situation would have been a "complete disaster" if he had chosen to wait hours for the plumber to arrive as water poured out of his wall.
