Ever notice how people think plumbing is just fixing leaks? It’s more like playing a game of hide and seek with every sewer line, including the occasional surprise from the previous homeowner’s ‘improvements.’ Just last week, I found a makeshift trap that looked like it was made during a power outage in the 80s! Gotta love the unpredictability of this job, right?
You nailed it with the unpredictability! It’s like every call is an episode of a reality show — sometimes you just want to yell, ‘What were they thinking?’ Have you ever come across anything truly bizarre?
It’s wild how often you end up unearthing someone’s DIY nightmare. I once found a whole garden hose tangled in a drain — they really thought it was a fix! Have you encountered any bizarre ‘solutions’ from the past?
I totally get that surprise element! Just last month, I dug into a wall and found not just PVC, but also a rat’s nest… Sometimes it feels like I need a treasure map instead of just a wrench.
