So remember I went home sick yesterday? Well our washer was spewing water from underneath. Wonderful.
So the repair man came today. Turns out it doesn't look like we have a problem with our washer. We have a septic and I saw a lid pop out and water, toilet paper came spewing out of the pipe right NEXT to the house. The smell killed me.
We suspect our septic was clogged (in one of the pipes). So we used our water hose to snake through the pipe and found something clogged. But suspected the pipe was broken.
Dug through the grass and GASP! Our pipe was broken. Somebody drove over it and smashed it. Luckily it wasn't the main pipe, but it must have been the same pipe for the washer and something else.
So we dug through and cut through the pipe with a saw. Stuff began spewing all over (GROSS!) and inserted a new pipe. I hope we're okay for now. But YUCK!!
Our neighbor is livid at the sellers- he thinks the sellers are responsible for this and it was obvious that they tried to cover up the problem (duct taping inside one of the pipes). I have a feeling that the neighbor did not love the previous owners. Our neighbor helped us fix the problem (such a sweet man).
I'm finally sitting here eating dinner.
