Put in a $1200 tankless water heater and now my basement is a sauna

Hired a guy off Kijiji who said he could install it in a day, but he didn't vent it right and all the steam is just going into the utility room. My drywall is getting soft and I'm worried about mold. Anyone know a good plumber in Mill Woods who can actually fix this mess?

Oh man, that's a total disaster. You need to get that fixed right now before it ruins your whole basement. That steam is going to cause serious mold and rot really fast. I don't know a plumber out there, but you should call a proper company, not another random guy. This is exactly why you don't cheap out on big installs. Good luck, that sounds awful.

Yeah, noah135 is right about the mold risk. My neighbor had a similar venting issue and it cost him thousands in drywall repairs. You might want to check with Capital Plumbing, they fixed a leak for me last year and did solid work.
