In the bustling city of Chengdu, Mr. Hu's home repair experience unexpectedly uncovered a mysterious veil about the "waterproof leak repair assassin" and the sky high cost of glass glue, triggering a heated discussion about consumer justice.
The story begins on an ordinary weekend when Mr. Hu's window was leaking water, causing him a headache. So, he found a business that advertised professional waterproof and leak repair services through an online service platform.
The arrival of the repairman was supposed to be the beginning of solving the problem, but unexpectedly it was the prelude to a high priced "feast".
PART.01
The 'sky high' price of glass glue has sparked controversy
The repairman recommended using glass glue to repair the leak, and the price initially agreed upon by both parties was reasonable, around 2000 yuan. However, when the repairman completed the construction, a bill of up to 4600 yuan left Mr. Hu stunned.
The repairman explained that the glass adhesive is priced by kilogram, with the original price of 460 yuan per kilogram, but a discount has been given to 400 yuan per kilogram. However, Mr. Hu found that there was excess glue everywhere on the window railing, which was obviously unrelated to the repair work, and the high cost was even more unacceptable.
Faced with this sudden high cost, Mr. Hu expressed strong dissatisfaction and attempted to negotiate with the repairman. However, the repairman firmly refused to refund the excess fees on the grounds that the project had been completed and quality assurance was provided.
PART.02
Repairing the 'trap' is not an isolated case
Mr. Hu's experience is not an isolated case, as many citizens have fallen into similar glass glue repair traps due to water leakage problems in their houses.
Some illegal businesses take advantage of consumers' lack of knowledge about waterproofing and leak repair, intentionally creating water leakage points, passing off inferior products as good, inflating prices, and promoting high priced repair services, causing countless consumers unbearable suffering.
PART.03
Scam schemes are constantly emerging
Using irregular pricing methods, intentionally quoting low prices without a quotation sheet, but exaggerating problems after construction, causing customers to feel anxious and using this as a pretext to raise prices.
Secondly, in order to save construction costs and maximize profits, expired or inferior waterproof materials are generally used for repairs, which cannot fundamentally solve the problem of water leakage.
False advertising and lack of after-sales service. The mobile construction team has poor after-sales support. Although the water leakage problem was temporarily solved, it cannot guarantee long-term effectiveness. Many teams promote "ten years of no leakage", but only realize that the construction team has long been lost when the real quality problem arises.
PART.04
How to prevent "waterproof leak repair assassins"
Consumers should remain highly vigilant when choosing waterproof leak repair services to address such issues. It is recommended that consumers choose a reputable waterproofing company with physical stores for cooperation, and sign a formal service contract to clarify the cost standards and calculation methods.
For consumers who have fallen into the trap of glass glue repair, it is recommended to collect relevant evidence in a timely manner, such as photos, videos, chat records, and payment vouchers before and after construction.
Subsequently, one can actively safeguard their legitimate rights and interests through platform complaints, legal channels, and other means. At the same time, businesses and behaviors suspected of fraud can also be reported to relevant regulatory authorities to jointly maintain market order and consumer rights.
