fencerm2Not shocked. Not shocked at all.
Shower yesterday morning - and wind up with 6 inches of standing water in my tub. Use Draino, no change...call in the plumbers.
We have good, honest plumbers my sister and I have been using since just a few months after we moved in. So they come - and check it all out.
The drain pipes are lead. L-E-A-D. And shot. And need to be replaced. Snaking 'em will just shred 'em.
Probable expense - $500 Three days before I leave on a 3 week vacation.
They return Friday morning.
On the plus side - if this is the only major nuisance with regards to my vacation - I will accept it and enjoy my trip.
Off to work!
