A Roto-Rooters plumber had been out in November and told me I needed to repair part of my outside sewer line after I noticed a back up in my downstairs shower. My house is over 50 years old in the Chicago area and the sewer line was cracked and full of roots. The sewer was rodded in November and I planned on having the repairs done after the holidays. Well, I was horrified to find the same back up in my basement shower yesterday morning. I figured I would not be able to get the repairs done before Christmas. I called my technician, Eddie who came out last night in a snowstorm to iron out the details. The crew just finished up today in a timely fashion. I wasn't prepared for the mess on the front lawn but I guess that's better than the mess in the shower.
