The HGTV team at Holmes Family Rescue has seen an increase in homeowners being abandoned by their contractors mid-job.

The season 2 premiere episode of HGTV‘s Holmes Family Rescue proves that your contractor can actually kill you.
Contractor Mike Holmes and his team uncovered faulty wiring in the shower area. The family, who had avoided showering in the clutter, could have been electrocuted if they had used the shower. Mike said the botched job was one of the worst he’s seen in his career.

“It’s the first job that I’ve actually been on that I saw was that bad,” Sherry Holmes told Showbiz Cheat Sheet. “Even when I wasn’t on the show or doing the construction side of things, my dad would tell me about some of the things he ran into.”
“And I knew walking into that job, I looked around and said, ‘I just have a bad feeling about how this is going to go,...
