My wife and I purchased a home in Dallas and have been living in it six weeks. The home inspection noted issues with the plumbing system backing up. The sellers agreed to repair the issues. The week we moved in we had a mainline backup and have had one each week for the last six weeks. Each time the plumbing company has had to come out and clear the line. They have removed countless amounts or construction debris including mortar from the pipes underneath our pier and beam home. The plumbing was 80% redone in our 1960's with the exception of a galvanized pipe that connects to the new PVC plumbing. Needless to say we are tired of gurgling toilets and showers that won't drain. The seller has been really good about getting the plumbing company out here each week. However, I have a suspicion that something is majorly wrong and I'm not being given the full story. The seller and the plumbing company owner have worked together for years. Both plumbers from the company that have been to the house multiple times have told me they suggest having the main line replaced even though everything continues to look fine in the cameras after they remove debris and snake the pipes. I have attached pictures of the stuff the plumbers have pulled out of the lines underneath our home. What do you guys and gals suggest? I'm way in over my head on this one and just want the right thing to be done.
The seller texted me this morning and said, "Spoke to ****** and he suggest installing cleanouts in front of the house and jetting the lines again through the cleanouts. He can't guarantee it won't backup, but he thinks this should take care of it. I will get with his office to call you to schedule the work. Thank you for your patience".
I don't need a solution that may work, I need a definitive fix. What should I do at this point?
