All righty, then: Got an appt. late last night (online–love that!) with Roto Rooter, and they were here at 8 this morning. They snaked out the sewer main, going out the full 80 feet to the sewer, and we learned these things: A) Baby wipes are NOT FLUSHABLE, despite what it says on the package; they found wads of ‘em; B) we had some little roots, but not many; and C) it is possible that our pipe has become slightly out of joint with the city sewer, but hopefully not. We have to get the sewer-cam out tomorrow to see what’s going on. In the mean time, it’s draining fine again, so we can shower and all the other good things again. Cost for the roto-rooting was high-ish–$350–but came with a guarantee, and they had to come back out a second time (which they did cheerfully). Cash well-spent. Moral of the story: Baby wipes are great, but you gotta put ‘em in the trash. Very Euro.
