I'm guessing they goofed somewhere along the way.
- To illustrate: They switched a fitting that wasn't supposed to be touched/meant to be tampered with/intended for modification. Now my water heater is spouting water/gushing out liquid/overflowing.
- Another instance:: They left tools behind/forgot essential parts/failed to remove debris, creating a bigger mess/causing further complications/leading to additional problems. Now I have damaged pipes on top of the original issue.
