'Help! I Wrecked My House': With eroded pipes and wobbly wall, tough renovation challenge makes Jasmine anxious

Jasmine met Jess and Rich who had moved into their house with the hope of transforming it into a masterpiece but were faced with setbacks that led them to give up on their home renovation plan

Jasmine Ruth is known for helping homeowners turn their disasters into a masterpiece, but her latest project got her anxious. In the latest episode (Saturday, September 19), Jasmine met Jess and Rich. The couple had moved into their house with the hope of transforming it into a masterpiece but were faced with a lot of setbacks that led them to give up on their home renovation plan.

Jess revealed they felt overwhelmed after finding out mold in the bathroom. With being four weeks away fo welcoming their baby, Jess revealed she wanted a house that was fit to be in with the little one. Jasmine admitted that being a mother she understood how important it was for Jess to have space where she could feel comfortable. While Jasmine had taken the pledge of fixing their mistake, she was shocked to see the amount of work that the house needed. Jess pointed out that their food dispensing system did not work well and created a lot of damage. At the same time, the kitchen lacked space and the design reduced the chances of them having a space for having a proper kitchen counter.

The pair also showed their nursery that was far from complete. Jasmine knew it was time to put on some gloves and get the work started. With a budget of $70,000, Jasmine knew she had a lot to take care of. After coming up with a plan for the kitchen, Jasmine realized that $39,000 would be spent. This left them with very little money to spend on other renovation. While Jasmine thought she has everything figured out, she was shocked to find out that the water system was completely damaged. Seeing how the pipes had been eroded, Jasmine knew it had to be changed. From their budget, she had to spend $6,500 on creating a new system.

Her worst fears came to life when she found out the wall that had been holding the house could break with one earthquake. Jasmine was forced to take some money out of their contingency budget and change the layout of the room. After all these setbacks, Jasmine was fearful she won't be able to complete the house on time. Luckily, she had the help of her team who managed to transform the place into a boho, chic, coastal and hippie style that they had wanted. Jess and Rich were happy with their house and were excited to move into it with their newborn.

'Help! I Wrecked My House' airs on Saturdays at 8 pm ET on HGTV.
