The title says it all. The plumber came today-I had used this company before and they were very good-and he explained that the pipe is so old that if he snaked it, it would probably break and/or would either break or not fit properly together. He also showed me the problem and I could see what he meant. A pipe replacement.
The bill for this replacement work would have been so high, I knew I had to get the landlord involved. If it had been just a clog, no problem I would have paid the bill. This work would have been more involved, so I called the landlord.
Bottom line–the landlord’s plumber is coming tomorrow. He (the landlord) felt the bill quoted was far too high, and his guys would do it for a better price.
We will see what tomorrow brings.
I only know I am sincerely tired of this problem now. It is not stopped up completely, but the sink drains so slowly and I am not letting the water come back up the drain into the sink (contamination) that it just takes forever to do a few dishes. I need that like a hole in the head.
Let’s hope this can be resolved tomorrow.
They are still talking about a major nationwide storm for the weekend.
I really understand the old Chinese curse “May you live in interesting times.”
God bless everybody.
