Plumbing Disaster Averted!

To make a VERY long story short, we had a major plumbing issue.  What we thought was just a stopped up line, turned into being a crack in our sewage pipe, which required large pieces of machinery to come in today and dig up our yard, that we had just re-sodded part of.  The price tag on this was more than I could ever image and I was totally freaking out about it.  Then God jumped in and saved us from having to pay that.  I prayed really hard that it would all work out and it did!  After the plumbers got in our yard, they figured out that a utility that will remain nameless (well-known cable company) drilled a hole in our pipe while doing some work for some new houses that will be put in our subdivision.   After hours of phone calls, Jason got in touch with a supervisor and the company will have to pay for our plumbing to be fixed.  Disaster adverted!  My yard will still be a huge mess, I am sure and I dread going home and seeing that.

At least you wouldn’t have to pay a hefty sum to get your pipes done. Since you mentioned it was due to the work of a huge cable company, no wonder the price to get the damage fixed was unimaginable. Plumbing problems on that scale could be very expensive, as you will be needing experts to make sure the problem ultimately gets out of your system.

So you mean, the problem was caused by a careless contractor? Isn’t that very disappointing to hear? Anyway, at least, you knew who and what caused it. Let them pay for the damages. I hope that next time, they’ll do their job well not to cause any problems anymore.
