The dreaded phone call is available in that your tenant has a clogged toilet at 8pm at night. What now? So you scurry over to your rental property to find out if you can fix it. You check it out, possibly even attempt to plunge it. Nothing occurs, still a gradual drain and a gurgling noise. At this point you've gotten wasted over an hour of your time, time that you should be spending elsewhere.
You shrug your shoulders and inform your tenant you will call a plumber as they will need to snake the drain. Giving your tenant the advantage of the doubt that there are probably roots in the main line which is causing the gurgling. You lastly get a hold of a plumber that shall be there sometime tomorrow between the hours of 1 and 4 pm... and you have to be there to authorize work. Ugh! Now what?
So you take the afternoon off of work and watch for the 30 minute courtesy call that they are on their way. You get the call! You head over to the rental property and meet the plumber, the tenant says that the slow drain and the gurgling continues to be happening. The plumber appears for the clean-out, but can't find it and you are not certain where it is. So the plumber goes to the roof with his snake. half-hour later he comes down with a toddler's small toy that had been flushed down the toilet. OK, not nice, however a minimum of it's fixed for a couple of hundred dollars and not tree roots. The plumber goes back inside to test the bathroom and comes back out with bad news... nonetheless won't flush!
So now the plumber says, do you want me to pull the bathroom? That's another charge. You shrug your shoulders and say yes, because what else are you going to do. The plumber takes his snake inside and pulls the toilet. He starts his snake and out comes a headless child's doll covered in rest room paper from about 1 foot down the pipe.
Now the plumber comes back out and says, here's what I found. Since the toilet is off do you want me to digital camera the drain within the case there are more items down there. After all you say yes, cause if he puts the bathroom back then has to return back to do it that's another charge.
Plumber comes back out and says the digicam showed nothing else is within the drain. You sigh and he fills out his paperwork together with expenses of round $300-400. He puts in his report the problems and the apparent abuse caused by the tenant. You ask him to place as a lot detail within the report as possible with the intention to cost back to the tenant, and he obliges and says good luck with that.
At this point you might be into this little project for over 4 hours of your time, half a day without work work spent standing outside of your lease my home rental, and a few hundred dollars because your tenant's little one decided they did not want their toys anymore.
