Why Some Repair Bills Do Not Have to Show Up

A bottle of Liquid Plumr to clear drains.I had a problem with my washing machine. The pipe that drained the dirty water was clogged, so dirty water was flowing out of it and into the bottom of the house. I have a home warranty (if I can get rid of it, let me know!) but I also have "a guy." He comes over for $20, while the home warranty comes over for $100. Well, he couldn't fix it, so I called the home warranty people. My guy used a snake, and they used a snake, left, and had to come over again with a longer snake. My guy said to use drain cleaner at first, but that didn't work.

Well, yesterday, it backed up again, and I don't even have the 20 to spare, so I got a bottle of Liquid Plumber, brand name, not the stuff I had bought before, I guess. It didn't work last night, but I let it sit overnight, and, hooray, it worked! For those of you going "duh," well, I didn't know I didn't have to call for 3 visits and 3 different snakes. I nearly went out and bought a snake so I wouldn't have to call anyone, but I decided to let Liquid Plumber work first, and it worked. Hooray!

If you know a better remedy than Liquid Plumber, well, I'm sure you do, but instead of building a Big Bang Theory chemistry set, I will use Liquid Plumber until I know better.

Thanks for reading.

Lyn2Win,

Just curious, but doesn't your "extended home warranty" if that's what it is, cover what they fixed for 6 months afterwards? You

may want to look into that. We have an extended home warranty as it's called, and when something is broken or not working correctly, they fix it, or replace it, and then they guarantee their
work for 6 months thereafter.

Not that you didn't have a good idea, but it's too bad your home warranty didn't take care of that for you as it seems they should of.
