Well happy today, if I wasn't so pissed off and sleep deprived it would have made it in the angry thread yesterday.
We have had what I would call a minor blockage throughout our sewer over the last couple of weeks. Had someone come out that specializes in unblocking drains on Friday afternoon and was quoted $570. Couldn't do it then and there so it was booked in for Wednesday. Got really bad on Tuesday night while I was at work. Wednesday morning after work he showed up and ran his hose into a overflow point which was the furthers point from the sewer pit, without success. We tried to locate the sewer near the pit and without knowing where it was he made a call to city was water for a location of it still unable to find it, city west water don't have plans that the plumber was meant to submit. he regretfully left after spending nearly 4 hours without asking for a cent. He did tell me to call city west water again and say that my plumber had run his jet hoses through my system and beyond my boundary line he believes that the blockage is within the pit.
Well they were out at my place in 90 minutes, 20 after that he found the sewer and was feeding a drill looking head into my pipe and about 2 meters in he pushed really hard and got it though. Success......
Packed up and went onto his next job, because the problem was closest to the pit and the pit is theirs there was no charge.
I rang the original plumber back as he wanted to see an outcome and explained what happen. He was wrapped that it got sorted out.
He did leave behind some tools and I told him that I'm today if he wants to pick them up, will try to slip him a 100 just for getting me out of the sh!t, literally.
So not all tradies are A holes. This guy works for Plumb First very professional. Jobs quoted before they begin so you know what your up for straight away.
After the stuff up of the iPhone which I had to buy another one, this one worked out nicely for a change.
Now to have lunch and catch up on the forum.
