Hurrah – the upstairs toilet is now usable. No more running down the stairs half-asleep, dogs in tow, just to go pee.
Teague and Don replaced the cracked cast-iron pipe this weekend. They removed about 10′ of it, shattering the cast-iron with a mallet to get it all out. We now have shiny, nicely sealed PVC instead… and no sewage in the basement.

Here is the foundation wall below the leak. Neglecting to fix the leaking toilet water dripping through your house can do some major damage….(still trying to comprehend how the previous owners lived with this issue!)
Thanks to Don for helping get this project knocked off our list – it was a big one.
We love to hear from you, dear readers.
