Thread: Plumbing problems

When I washed a load of clothes water backed up in the toilet and tub. Usually they snake it out and its fixed. Was supposed to be $119. Well the snake wouldn't go through and now they're having to re-route the pipes because of tree roots. The cost is now $500. Man I hate that. Thats a lot of money. We have a lot of oak trees and their roots are really messing up our plumbing. Well at least we have the money to do it. They're working on it now.

I feel you. We had to do that twice at the old house. Once they could snake it. The second time, it was over $1200. Yikes. We found out it was the weeping willow two houses down that messed up everyone's pipes. You can imagine how popular they were in the neighborhood.

I can't even imagine what it would cost to fix that. I feel for her.

They said a large root had collapsed the pipe. They're almost through fixing it.

$ 500.00 0n a Holiday weekend? That is a awesome price. You are very lucky to find one that would come out.

Doesn't it suck to pay for something so unexpected and to cost you a pretty penny.

Yeah it does.

Merry Christmas, huh? Ever notice how that stuff always comes when you need it least?

Well I guess the bright side is we wont have to snake it out every year. Maybe this will fix it once and for all. Not going to ruin my Christmas though I'm looking forward to it.
