Dirty Water

Disaster has struck AGAIN!  Thank goodness we still have our home warranty, because problems keep creeping up.

Both times it has had to do with our plumbing.  About a month ago, any time water went down a drain, such as the laundry washer, kitchen sink, toilet, bathroom sink, etc, it would flow right through and out the overflow and into our bathtub!  Brown stinky water!  So we couldn't go to the bathroom, wash our dishes, take a shower, or do the laundry for about a week in fear that the water would flood the bathtub and end up on our floor.  Turns out that roots have taken over our plumbing.  And of coarse, because we take a picture of everything, here is a picture of the dirty roots and the mess the plumber made of my laundry room floor.


Believe it or not, the plumber created a bigger mess.  He was a little aggressive with the roto-rooter and cracked our pipe in the garage.  So this time, instead of water flowing into our bathtub, it poured right onto the garage floor.  Nasty, smelly, brown, and greasy water.  The water has since dried, but there is an oily film all over the garage floor.  I have no idea how to clean that up.  Suggestions?
Look at what the Plumber did!

I was fairly certain that I was in the clear with these plumbing problems, but oh no!  Here comes another one!

This last weekend we walk into our bathroom and the floor is completely wet and flooded.  Where was the water coming from this time?  The toilet.

So I did the only thing I could do, called the warranty people and had a glass of wine.
