Came home to sewage in the basement, cause 1 foot of broken pipe... Solution $6,000 dollars in labor.

#crappy day (pun intended)

But on the brighter side I received Palama's PIB the same day so seeing rainbows through the cloud.

I feel you pain. At least you don't have to dig up 2 neighbors yards and the street!

I hope you are soon flushed with happiness.

That stinks🤬

Oh man. That sucks.

That it is really ****

Shotty

Yup, they were running machines all day. So now I am going to try and work the night shift on zero hours of sleep. You guys have a good night.

Why'd the pipe break? Did they give any explanation?

$6k in labor ouch they must charge a **** ton per hour.

DUDE^^^

I hope to H3LL YOUR HOME LIABILITY INSURANCE

is paid and at it's highest allowable limit...

With those

UN-FRIGGIN' braced wall's in A 6'-10' trench...

You'd never catch me in a 6'-10' unbraced trench.

Cave-ins kill in seconds.

No idea why it broke.

The hole ended up being 35 ft long and 10 feet deep. They did have to mechanically brace to walls.

Total bill $7670

Good things Cops make so much money.... wait, FML

Contractors have to carry insurance for that. Not the homeowners responsibility to enforce osha rules and pay for accidents resulting in poor safety standards
