CAN YOU TOP THIS?

Welcome to the latest edition of our popular “Can You Top This?” column, featuring the newest entry in the Service Industry News “Horror File. ”

This issue’s entry comes to us from Ken and Theresa McGregor of Sky Blue Pools Repair & Supply, in Diamond Bar, California.

“This customer in Chino Hills e-mailed us this picture of his leaking filter. He wanted our tech to ‘just fix the leak.’ Needless to say we could not help him.”

Thank you for sending this — They sure did a great terrible job.

At Service Industry News, we would rather go behind the scenes and take a closer look at the type of stuff our readers encounter everyday — cracked tiles, spaghetti plumbing, rats in heaters, cars in the pool, snakes in the plumbing, and more!

When you are out in the field and you see something that doesn’t look right, send us an email along with a picture and a brief description: Send your photo to serviceindustrynewscd@yahoo.com. Please write: Attention Horror File, in the subject line and thank you for remembering us when you are out there.
