Roto Rooter Rescue
(See previous entry) My husband came home this evening and called Rotor Rooter and they came out in just a couple of hours. They kept us informed on their progress to our house with two different phone calls. That was nice as we could do other things and not just be on the look out for them to arrive.
From the sound of things, we weren't the only ones having this problem with the basement drain today.
The water is all gone but I'll still have the cleanup tomorrow. I'll probably be throwing out the area rugs we had down there. I'd just as soon have exposed cement anyways. It would be easier to keep clean. Plus the rugs were a lint trap near the dryer and hair magnet from our lounging cats.
Even though it costs a lot to have these guys come out, I can't imagine having to have to auger the drains ourselves even if we had the equipment. Yuk!

A long time ago when I bought my first house I rented a huge auger because I had toilets that wouldn't flush. It cost $25 to rent the thing (it was around 1989) but it weighed a ton and yes, it was a disgusting experience. After I was done cleaning just about every drain in the house, I washed it off and let my neighbor use it. We split the cost. Anyway, after that I always called Roto Rooter. It's nice to know that I can do it myself but it's a most unpleasant job. I still wonder why I opted to rent the auger in the first place...
