Hi, I'm Jess. Tell me what's going wrong at home today.
I don't have any water????
Could be air in your pipes from municipal work. Run a tap for a couple minutes: if there's still nothing, I'll find you a plumber.

A few quick questions to scope it properly:

Pay Now

Do this

Only pay through the Pay Now button on your Kandua invoice.
Keep every payment on-platform: it's secure and traceable.

Never do this

Never settle invoices via EFT's or other requests.
Pay off-platform: we can't help with off-platform payments.
If a Pro ever asks you to pay off-platform, that's a red flag. Keep it on Kandua and report it to us: We can only help with on-platform payments.
