Our insurance company has denied this claim. However after discussing the situation with the City Attorney, we have agreed to pay the Meadors the 1511.90, but not the $2500 they requested to cover the cost of their clean out installation and lateral inspection. It was also determined that we would pursue Mr. Plumber for the $2500 and the $1511.90clean up cost as they clearly should have notified the Utility prior to doing any work. Had they done so,the incident could have been avoided. Submitted By, )Jo hn Duffy Director of Utilities June 21,2013 To:John Duffy From:Tim and Missy Meador Hello. Below is a timeline and attached receipts for repairs that were needed to our property on 2 occasions in two weeks due to clogged lines in our street. We met with Joe Faucett and he referred us to you to submit what transpired and our receipts. A synopsis of our timeline: 5-27-13 at approximately 7-8pm heard gurgling in the basement bath. The shower and the toilet were backing up with sewage. Made calls to approximately 8 plumbers. At this point, we were bailing the sewage to keep it from flooding out of the shower pan as it was continual. The first to arrive was Ben Franklin. He assessed the situation and he stated that he would have to pull the basement toilet to scope the line. This was a problem as that likely all the water in all the pipes in the two floors above would come up through the basement toilet and that for this to be repaired we would need to install a clean out pipe (as we did not have one) and this could not be done until Tues. He leaves. We then discover that the carpet area (tv area ) is wet and it is also coming up through a plugged floor drain. So, we move everything and put down towels to keep it from seeping into the mechanical room. Then Mr. Plumber calls around 11pm and we tell him to come on over(We wanted a 2nd opinion). It is about lam. He gives us the same opinion as the first plumber stating that they cannot repair or resolve the issue without a clean out pipe and that the removal of the basement toilet could result in much more water Damage. So, two plumbers have told us that installing this pipe is our least expensive option to assess our pipes,scope, check the line for clogs to the street. On Tues AM I call two restoration companies for quotes on the basement clean up and go with A&D Hydra clean as they were willing to restore the carpet(it was pretty contained and did not have solids in it like in the bathroom.They start the cleanup process of the bath and TV area of the basement. Mr. Plumber came back out on Wed.(The rain has stopped and the bathroom has stopped coming up and we were using VERY little water(showered at the Neighbors). We removed our front landscaping ourselves and they install the clean out pipe on Wed.The installer had me flush all the toilets and I saw a very clear flow from the house.The installer told me had had scoped it(with the bag on the end of the cable) and that it was clear to the street. Tim did leave a message that evening with Mr. Plumber that they had said they were going to run a camera to more thoroughly check the line for roots, cracks, etc. We did not hear back from them and had not yet followed up due to work, putting things back together in the basement, reinstalling the landscaping etc. On June 13th,Tim is working in the basement and again hears the gurgling and again,the toilet and shower are backing up. We immediately call Mr. Plumber and they were back out in about an hour. Ran a cable and determined that our line was clear, but in looking in the manhole covers they were rather full, he told us to call the city that there was a clog in the street.The City was out promptly on the 13th as well.The workman indicated there was a clog and cleared the pipe in the street. When Mr. Faucett came out the next day,the camera discovered two root balls in the street line. He was very professional and helpful and it was very nice to work with him as were his assistants. Both of these instances were during/right after very heavy rains.There was a very heavy rain this past week and we had no back up. We did the clean-up in the basement this time ourselves with the exception of reattaching the carpet as we discovered it more quickly and kept it contained to a smaller area. We are respectfully requesting that we be reimbursed for the clean-up and our plumbing bill for two occasions of sewage back up in our basement at 793 Dayton Drive this May/June. We have lived here for 13 years and 12 of those years,the basement has been finished. We have never had a plumbing problem and there were no indications of prior plumbing problems when we moved in with the unfinished basement in 2000. We would not have had any of these expenses if the lines had been cleared in the streets. We understand that the roots accrue over time and with the droughts this is more prevalent. We are not asking to be reimbursed for our time (although it is significant as we are self- employed and lost many man hours in this process) only for the hard costs.The plumbing bill was our least expensive option to determine that our lines were cleared. If the toilet had been pulled the flooding would have been in another part of the basement which then would have required all the carpeting to be replaced and possibly damaged a wall of cabinets that are just on the other side of the bathroom. Attached are copies of the receipts.Thanks in advance for your help with this matter.
