美国水管工急他人所急赶赴1500英里之外的德州修管道

Andrew Mitchell is the owner of Mitchell's Plumbing & Heating in Morristown, New Jersey.

Mitchell and his wife, Kisha, drove more than 1,500 miles with their 2-year-old son after hearing that Houston homeowners had to wait weeks to book a plumber(水管工). Mitchell’s apprentice Isaiah also went with them, who works for Mitchell to learn the skills.

Before leaving New Jersey, they bought as many plumbing supplies as they could afford, because those items are now hard to find in Texas. On the drive down, Mitchell connected with local plumbing companies that were looking for help. “By the time we got here, there was already about four or five jobs lined up,” Kisha said. “Since we’ve been here, it has really been nonstop.”

Frozen pipes have caused a lot of damage for Texas homeowners. Many people have been without water for weeks. “Because of the bad weather in Texas, this homeowner had frozen pipes and the pipes burst in at least 4 places,” Mitchell wrote in a Facebook post. “The water leaks(泄露) caused the ceiling to fall down. We came in and repaired the broken pipes within 30 minutes. Now this family can have running water after all this time.”
