Our tub wouldn't drain. We plunged and plunged--until black crud came up in the sink. Yep, then the sink wouldn't drain either. When the water shot through the clean-out cap on the floor like a fountain, we covered the bathroom in towels and called Roto-Rooter.
After two hours of serious auger work echoing throughout South Minneapolis, the fine fellow had drilled through the problem, and our water drains better than ever before. We couldn't be given a warranty (because of the nature of our pipes) but it cost a lot less than the last plumber I had do some work, and the drain is now so fast it creates a loud vortex as the water disappears. Really nice.
