So you think your plumbing problem is bad??? Got a little ditty for ya.... true story that happened last week.
A lady called from our ad on Craigslist... says that her toilet isn't flushing in her extra bedroom. She hadn't really used it but recently rented the room out to help with the bills....
I asked the obvious questions... is the sink backing up? NO... is the tub backing up? NO.. is ANYTHING else backing up???? NOOOOO
Alright, well though previous experience I was 90% certain that something was in the P-trap of the toilet... quick closet auger and BAM!! Problem solved!!!
NOT THE CASE.
So here's how it went....
1. Ran the closet auger down the toilet... no flushy! hmmm
2. Ran it again, tried it again... no flushy!! hmmm...
3. Must remove toilet and see what is going on...
4. Lift commode off and well.... look at the pic!!!

A forest, almost with it's own ecosystem presented itself! I, feverishly scratching my head wonder... WHAT IN THE WORLD HAPPENED HERE?!

As it turns out, the fl**ge that the toilet sits on is on a slab... in the space between the fl**ge and the tile roots had grown through from under the slab, penetrated the wax seal, obviously thirsting for the nourishing bounty on the other side (use your imagination here) and had grown approximately 3 feet down her toilets drain........

Just another day in the life of a Plumber i guess......

The moral of the story??.... maybe the leaking faucet isn't the end of the world.. you could have been her! :-)
