Windsor Terrace Reno

Just when we thought we were putting stressful renovation problems behind us, Mr. Limestone walked into the cellar last night to find this.

And this (viewer discretion strongly advised). Lets just say that ain’t just water!

Mother#$&*$!

Mr. L leaped into action to get it under control. He moved the boxes out of the way and manned the wet vac to keep the damage to a minimum while he got all necessary parties on the way to get it fixed. By the time I got home, he had done it all which is a very good thing because while I wouldn’t consider myself the type to be overwhelmed by house problems I call uncle when those problems involve human feces.

All the signs pointed to a sewage line collapse. Aside from the grossness factor, we were both pretty depressed at the thought of another huge bill as well as the major aggravation factor of ripping up sidewalks, getting more permits, etc..

I’m really happy to report that we were wrong! We had a sewage company come over with crew and camera. Evidently there was a blockage from rocks/bolts/other crap that must have come from the renovation debris. They snaked and sucked and water jetted the blockage until it was no more. We’re a little lighter in the wallet ($900) but it was no where near as bad as it could have been ($10K+).
