Just curious to know what other plumbers do in the case where a drain cable gets stuck down a drain. Who pays? My thoughts are, once the drain has been dug up, assess the situation.. if the drain is the problem, the owner pays. If the drain is ok. We cop it. Would be interested to hear your thoughts.
