I would think that if no water in the house was running and the water meter was
still registering water flow, you would know you have a leak somewhere.
Plumbers are not cheap either. I just spent about a thousand dollars on my
plumbing and a couple of thousand in two other insurance deductibles this year
on plumbing problems. The floor of my shower is still gone and I have not
looked into what that will cost, and my painted concrete floors have serious
damage that is filled in, but not smoothed and painted yet. *sigh*
Thank goodness for friends though. After I paid the plumber about $500 to
locate and diagnose the problem, some friends of ours came and did the work
with my husband. The estimate for having the professionals do it was well over
$5000 and we spent only several hundred on equipment rental, replacement parts,
beer, and pizza. *smile*

Subject: Re: [BlindHandyMan] Roots In Water Line
Water lines and sewage are two different animals. Pouring salt down the
drain goes out the sewage pipe. If roots worked it way in the the main
water line coming into the house there would be evidence where the roots
are entering the line due to the constant water pressure.
