It was discovered that 80% of all residential plumbing work was performed by unlicensed plumbers in Washington State in spite of the law requiring a license. A complaint by a local plumber to his state senator resulted in a bill getting into senate hearings that would have made it possible for the regulatory agency and the consumer to spot the fraud at the advertising level.
In spite of the fact that at least 2.2 BILLION dollars is involved, there was no support for the bill that would have protected the licensed plumber and the homeowner from scam artists falsely advertising.licensed services. There was great well funded opposition to the bill however.
It became apparent that our legislative process is moved by the money interests.not on the merit or need for consumer protections.
Out of frustration, Evan Conklin produced this animation hoping that the public will notice that they are the victims of a very big bait & switch scheme that is redefining an entire industry (residential plumbing service and repair) as a sales and marketing hustle.
