Our rental house is wonderful and we love living here, but the plumbing has always been a little sketchy. Occasionally the toilet wouldn't flush properly and the landlord would get somebody out to flush the line. It was pretty clear to Steve and me that there was a leak in the pipe, since right where the pipe ran under the lawn there was a mysterious patch of vibrant green grass year-round (our grass goes dormant in the summer). But since it's not our house, we had to wait until the landlord agreed the problem was bad enough to need a better fix.
Today the plumber dug up the line and found this:
All that damage was pre-existing; the plumber didn't break it on removal. So, now we have a nice new line.
Hopefully that will remedy the situation somewhat. I know owning a house comes with its own headaches, but even though you have to cough up the money for it yourself, at least things get fixed on your time line.

So were they able to get it all fixed in one day? Lovely to not have to go without plumbing for a weekend.

Yeah, it was all done in a day, which was nice. We'll see if this fix works.
