A slow drain didn't seem like such a big deal... Not compared to all of the problems we've been having the past few months- major roof repairs, major electrical problems, motherboard going out on the desktop, my microwave mysteriously dying, the element burning out on my hot water heater. Do you have any idea how long it takes a sealed hot water heater to drain? FOREVER! Do you know how big a mess you have on your hands when you get impatient and pull the element out? Not pleasant!
I wasn't too concerned about the slow drain until it started backing up into other drains... The City of Wilson has been redoing the sewer lines on the road behind up, we just assumed they had stirred up a bunch of dirt or something. We had a plumber come out to the house yesterday. They attempted to use some kind of water jet to blast out our sewer lines which are apparently completely blocked. They were there several hours and finally decided that the city must have blocked it off while doing their work. They informed us that under our house was completely flooded and it was actually seeping out from under the foundation. Can you say disgusting??? The plumbers were there all day, we ended up with 20 some city workers in the backyard trying to find the lines in the backyard. When they started talking about bringing in backhoes I started packing. The kids and I are in VA until next week sometime. HOPEFULLY all issues will be resolved by then. I cannot deal with one more problem.
