My wife 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 is when we noticed the plumbing concerns. I contacted a company that has emergency services. The plumbing company that I officially use is only open 5 days a week from 7:00 a.m. until 7:00 p.m. It was a Thursday when the problem occurred so I called a different company. The first thing they tried to tell me was that I had a leak in the concrete under the floor and they proposed 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 company that I normally use throughout the week. They were thrilled to come and give me a second opinion and did not charge me anything at all. The plumbing company did not agree with the emergency maintenance crew. He believed that the week was coming from underneath the toilet and that was only going to be about $400 to fix.
