Replace a piece of the sewer line
This quote is for the replacement of a section of the sewer line. The initial leak occurred while both upstairs bathrooms were in use. A technician investigated by cutting open the ceiling below the bathtub. He identified a "spartan sewer line from the 70s" as the probable source of the leak and suggested replacing that piece. The work was performed. Note: The leak reoccurred immediately after this repair, and a subsequent supervisor visit identified the bathtub faucet as the actual source of the leak, not the sewer line.
