    Thanks for your response. How extensive of a job are we talking? Sounds very involved to my inexperienced mind. This home is only 10 years old and my hunch that the builder used an inexperienced plumber during construction may be correct. Could further damage occur if the problem is not addressed? (other than me losing my sanity?) Also, if you could offer any guidance on how to chose a plumber to fix this problem would be much appreciated. Bear in mind I am a wife with a husband that is not great with home repair matters so I will be interacting with the plumber.
