Whoo-hoo! I can't wait. I have been told the main line needs to be cleaned at it will take a minimum of two hours. Oh well, what can you do? I hid all of the sins that an inadequate housekeeper has and managed to pick up the living room and dining room. The kitchen is what it is because I can't wash dishes at the present moment.
Anthony (the Roto Rooter savior) started asking where the main line cap was and I had no idea what he was talking about. He indicated it would be in the front of the house opposite from the primary pipe. This led us to the kids' play area. What a disaster that area is. There are toys everywhere! We scraped the toys away with our hands and I was red in the face with embarrassment. I profusely apologized and he tried to ease my embarrassment letting me know he has two kids too.
Then he asked to pull up the carpet. Yikes! What have we gotten ourselves into? He did find the line cap and he chuckled because it had the Roto Rooter stamp on it...from a visit prior to our time living there.
So here I am, in my "home office", waiting for my co-worker to bring me my work laptop so I can be virtually at work. Should be a noisy (and expensive) few hours...

Sorry. :( We have been very fortunate in our owned houses in that area.
Now I guess you'll be keeping that into consideration as you are house-hunting in the older neighborhoods.
My grandfather used to have some green crystals that he put down the toilet each week to impede root growth.
Probably caused cancer in the neighborhood, but he never had a main line issue!
