One thing that came up during the house inspection while we were in escrow was the state of the drain pipes servicing the kitchen and laundry. I ended up using Rescue Rooter Plumbing based on someone’s recommendation. They started the work last Friday, but the lead plumber discovered shortly after climbing under the house that he was too big for some of the narrower spaces under the house, and would be unable to cut the pipes and remove them himself. So they rescheduled me for Tuesday, when one of their smaller guys would be available, only to annoy me greatly when they called 15 minutes before the set time to reschedule again. Today the work finally got done.
I do not envy the two who did the work. It was hot on the hill today. This is what our old pipes looked like. Pretty gross.
