Well, I don't know who it is then that deals with the numerous sewer back ups that occur or even just overflowing toilets. At least in the North where most houses have basements this is a common occurrence.
2 years ago, at Christmas, we had a lot of house guests and one toilet stopped working. The cast iron sewer pipes in very low crawl space had cracked open. A fully licensed plumbing company who normally did commercial work bailed us out starting on Boxing day. We had to cut out our flooring to access the pipes. New ABS pipes installed. Heck of a messy job, but they got it done.
This month, my daughter in law had a sewer back up in her basement. Caused damage to entire basement washroom. Now stripped out waiting for rebuild. New shower, walls etc. Plumber has already repaired the piping problem.
Can't imagine who else might have done these jobs. In fact they required a licensed plumber.
By the way, our MB dealer charges $140/hr. Plumbers nowhere near that much. I can fix my car, but can't deal with what plumbers have to deal with.
