The plumber finally came. He told us the problem wasn't a hard fix & had it handled fairly quickly. He also told us it had probably been there a while & we hadn't noticed. The noise we heard in the pipes was most likely the city cleaning lines. It may not have had anything to with our house.
While I am relieved, I'm also angry. If the city had given notice, we might have considered the noise we heard had been them. If my family had taught me a fraction of the practical skills they had, then I might have been better equipped to handle the situation. My family taught me precious little. What I do know, I gleaned watching people or learned via trial & error. Now, the net & youtube make things a lot easier.
I'm angry, because the 1st guy that came made this seem like a huge problem. He would've probably tried to replace the entire line. Which would've possibly cost 1,000s.
I'm embarrassed for my lack of knowledge. I do my best not to be so ignorant about things. Still there are areas I know nothing about. I can do research to try, but it doesn't always work. Especially, not when I'm rattled, stressed & panicking.
For now it's handled. It'd be nice if nothing else craps out for a long while. The people of this house need a serious moment to catch their breath & recuperate.
That's all for now, take care.
Cya...
