Not Ideal…

I’ve noticed a new phenomenon when I do laundry. When the washer dumps the dirty water the toilets gurgle. Yesterday they didn’t just gurgle. Yesterday it wasn’t just the toilets. Yesterday our bathtubs filled with nice dirty sewer water.
Hmmm...I think we have a problem…

We called a plumber out - he attempted to snake the line but to no avail. He then gave us one option - dig a 5 foot hole in our neighbor’s yard (where our sewer pipe runs) and fix it from there. He also gave us a crazy estimate with no underlying information. Huh.

Needless to say, we’re calling other people to see what they have to say about this. The guy felt slimy and even though we’ve already given him a small truckload of money, neither of us really want to deal with him moving forward. It just felt wrong.

If you know a good plumber - let me know!
