My fiance and I didn’t realize that there was a leak in the bathroom until there was water leaking through the other side of the wall.
We had some furniture against the wall and the sofa and loveseat completely blocked our view of the wall.
We didn’t notice there was a problem until the wood was warping underneath the sofa. I decided to move all the furniture and that was when we noticed the big plumbing problems. I contacted a business that has emergency services. The plumbing business that I officially use is only open 7 days a week from 7:00 a.m. until 7:00 p.m. It was a Monday when the problem occurred so I called a different business. The first thing they tried to tell me was that I had a leak in the concrete under the floor and they recommended it was going to cost about 2,500 to fix. I wanted to get started on the repairs as soon as possible. That was a heap of money to spend on a repair and I thought it was a good idea to get a second opinion. I turned off the water to that bathroom so there was no more leaking and I called the trusty and dependable plumbing business that I normally use throughout the week. They were happy to come and give me a second opinion and did not charge me anything at all. The plumbing business did not agree with the emergency repair crew. He believed that the leak was coming from underneath the toilet and that was only going to be about $400 to fix.
