Description
Toilet clog has been a problem for us for years, but it reached a crisis point three weeks ago when the sewers backed up into our shower stall, toilets, bathtubs and into our hallways, resulting in thousands of dollars of damage to our walls. However, on the last day of the restoration work, just as the worker was about to leave, the toilet gurgled again and was backed up, indicating the problem had not been fixed by the previous plumbers, Quality Plumbing. We were quite upset at the prospect of another overflow damaging our walls again! We called Fischer plumbing and they came today and cleaned out our sewer line, but could only go so far because it was so long and twisted. They suggested the city be called and do a clean out from a place they marked with green on our property (in the ivy) to the street. We're glad to show you where it is. Please let us know when you are available to come so we can be home. Email: janinerosenbaum@comcast.net; Cell phone: 206-849-0918. Please have someone call us directly so we can explain this further. We did speak with Angela, but she could not direct us to speak with directly about this issue. Thank you.
