While the plumber was cleaning the main line it backed up into the master bath and flooded the floor. How could that have happened?! I thought his job was to prevent just that from happening.
Now he says he will have to jackhammer the floor in the master bath and through the bedroom in addition to replacing the main line to the street. Also, the bath cabinets will have to be replaced, the flooring replaced, etc. My insurance policy does not cover sewage backups.
1. How could he have flooded the bath while cleaning and would sleeving be an answer? 2. What should I see from the camera to determine whether the main line needs replacing?
All advice is most appreciated.
