nekosenseiYesterday, I was doing a load of laundry when I heard the sound of water hitting floor.

doomsey came home and said that it was the drain pipe underneath the toilet that was overflowing. We called a plumber who came out to look at the problem today. The verdict: we have tree roots in our sewer line...a lot of them. The plumber also noticed that there was a dip in said line as well. He thinks that we're going to have to replace the line. So...it looks like we have a very expensive problem on our hands. It's going to cost us anywhere from $3,500 to $6,000 to fix. If we opt to have the pipe dug up (and not have them build a new pipe inside of the old one), we're going to lose some of our landscaping. We'll definitely lose half of the patio, and we might lose one of trees in back as well.
Crap.
