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 Richard Martinache of Pristine Pools & Spa, in New Buffalo, MI.

“Found at a hotel in Indiana,” writes Richard. “As you walk in, there is a big sign that says. Don’t touch anything please. Lol.”

“We were hired to cut all the DWV out. The longer you look at it, the worse it gets. Not sure how our industry let’s this kind of thing go.”

“Surprisingly, it’s all cut out and plumbed in properly.”

Fantastic picture Richard. You sent a panorama and captured the whole room really well. Good too that there is a door separating the chlorine from the equipment room.

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: Attention Horror File, serviceindustrynewscd@yahoo.com.
