Rice and Carrots and Lettuce, Oh My!

My mother called me at work today (she’s in town, staying with us). She was in the basement asking how to make my printer work.

She mentioned that it smelled musty down there, which it does, a little.

But when I got home, Stacey said there were puddles downstairs, presumably from the rain storm of late.

I went down to investigate, and noticed that one of the puddles was composed mostly of ground up rice, carrots and lettuce. Directly below the kitchen sink pipe.

So… does anyone have a plumber recommendation to fix rusted-through pipes?

    • My heart was pounding as I read the entries about their pipes. I am a magnet for water incidents and I knew from the beginning where the whole thing was going. I kept wanting to scream, “No! No! Go back! Go back!”

      There was a separation in the line at my old house, and I had it turbo snaked about every nine months, just in anticipation that I might see leaves in the toilet. God, I was a nervous wreck.

      • We don’t blame you.

        We have chosen to blame my parents.

        Every time they visit, we lose power, internet or water. Next time they come, I’m sure we’re going to lose the air.
