Zeke has it right. It’s an uphill battle every day working with some trades. Some just don’t care where they leave their work debris or trash. It gets them a hefty backcharge, which they b*tch about. Tough luck

After framing, the plumber is the first trade in the house. He installs all of his supply, drain lines and tubs/pans are filled up and/or pressurized. HVAC and the electrician follow. This can take 4/5 days. Once all the MEP’s are done, the framing and MEP’s are inspected by one county inspector.

Then I can let the water pressure off the lines. The tubs have a plug in them and I’m not reaching in their bare handed to remove it. It make a nice toilet for some lazy azz people. Thus it a nail or screw can rust quickly before the plumber drains it.

It’s not every house, but it happens frequently.

I’m no chemist, but does the baking soda neutralize the acidic chemicals? I was using it to make a paste to keep the chemicals on the stain.

Edit : My tub repair guy would fix anything (rust, scratches, etc) in the house for $125, unless it was a major repair. Then he charged more.
