Two weeks into living in our fixer upper, I went to wash a load of laundry and when my husband walked into our down stairs bathroom to get a tool he found that the shower had backed up and flooded the whole bathroom. GROSS!!! He tried and tried for a week to figure out how to fix the problem all the while sucking out the water that kept backing up into the bathroom. Finally, we called a plumber to come and check it out. Turns out the house did not have a clean-out and the pipes needed to be cleaned. The plumbers spent 2 days at our house installing a new clean-out and cleaning the pipes out. I am so glad that the problem is fixed but it cost us an arm and leg that we were not expecting to pay quite yet on our journey. My husband has started to rip out some of the old bathroom. Can't wait to rip it all out and starting fixing it back up!!
Disgusting flooded bathroom...
Over flowing shower that backed up...
Ripped out the shower, carpet (ewwww!), and mirror...
Found a hairspray bottle holding up a pipe... :S
Temporary basin to hold our backing up water until the plumbers fixed the problem...
