Lori Sardinha-Costa of Fall River defeated 12 men to take the title of “Sexiest Plumber,” an honor recognized in New York City Monday.

Sardinha-Costa was back on her home turf Tuesday, reliving some of the competition, including telling the judges that she wants to make the world a better place.

“Whenever I go over to houses, I want to fix what’s wrong. I want to save the world,” she said.

Sardinha-Costa is the daughter, sister, and niece of plumbers. When other girls were playing Chutes and Ladders as children, she was playing pipes and wrenches, she said.

“Every little girl thinks of winning a beauty contest, but I never thought I’d win a beauty pageant like this,” she said.

Sardinha-Costa said she’s already getting calls from men asking her to come over to fix a clogged pipe. But before you clog the pipes, Boeri said, think of this — she’s still an apprentice and works with her father.

The contest was held by one of the nation’s leading toilet makers, American Standard.

And what better prize for a plumber than a trip for two to the most famous bowl of all — the Super Bowl in Jacksonville, Fla.

In her spare time she enjoys being a fluffer while her dad cleans the pipes.
