A Northern Panhandle plumbing contractor is now barred from doing any future home improvement work following a recent court order in a lawsuit filed by West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey.
The order permanently blocks Charles P. Waterman and his company, Waterman Plumbing LLC, from engaging in any capacity of plumbing or contracting work. It also requires Waterman to pay $14,133.72 in restitution.
The attorney general’s lawsuit had alleged Waterman violated the state’s consumer protection laws by accepting thousands of dollars for deficient and unfinished work.
“Contractors who don’t follow the law must be stopped,” Morrisey said. “Consumers deserve to get the services they pay for in a timely manner and satisfactory condition.”
