[QUOTE="MilitantBEEMER, post: 3966033, member: 44437"] So our third bathroom was having issues with the toilet flushing. We tried a god stout accordion style plunger to no avail. Had a plumber come out and check it out. Long story short, the piping running under our slab is collecting water do to improper grading. It is pushing water out but there are to many dips (low points) that the sludge is building up and not leaving the pipe. He suggested that we need to find a plumber with a jetter(sp) that can fit in a 3“ pvc pipe under the slab to go through and push all the sludge out. (The other option of cutting up the foundation in multiple spots and using anchors to draw up the low pipes in order to get the correct grade) is not feasible, as it would be VERY VERY expensive. The house is 9 years old and we are not the original owners, so having any recourse is unlikely. Any advice on someone that would have the equipment and experience would be appreciated, (I want to avoid the BIG national rooter company if at all possible) Thank you OSA family. PS I may not have all the facts necessary but the plumber I use said he would be happy to talk with someone with the right gear and show them the photos that he took with his line camera. [/QUOTE]
