We could disconnect water and gas but we couldn't hook it back up. To much liability if one or the other leaked. I carried both comp and liability insurance-the law.

Liability is the biggest reason but I honestly never had a problem not touching anything water related just on principle. I am NOT a plumber and I’ve never claimed to be one. That’s not my trade. Standing my ground on this issue IS what I’ve been doing to show understanding for the past 25 years.
Here’s a thought for ya. You wouldn’t call a floor covering store to install a new toilet anymore than you would call a plumber to replace your floor. They are two separate trades, one of them being a protected trade. Don’t use me to try and undercut a fellow tradesman who has put in their time to be able to command the prices that they are charging. Don't you wish you could charge their prices? Do an apprenticeship for 4 years and you can.
What are we, crabs in a bucket?
As said, I completely understand the dilemma. I just know that it takes a plumber nearly a week to come to my area unless you pay triple hourly pay. I sure hope you work on customers with very strong bladders!
