A concrete contractor unexpectedly bought a house

quote:

there were a few houses we worked on where the former bitter homeowners poured quickcrete down some drain lines.

This is as evil as there is in the world, IMO. It's taking it out on others, harm for your own actions.

When I worked in insurance I saw a handful of houses with bitter evicted renters. It was enough to make me avoid being a landlord for the most part.

I’m not quite sure why you can’t press criminal charges against people who sabotage properties.

vile peasants!!

It made me quit being a landlord. Renters just don’t care about property and they certainly didn’t seem to care about losing their deposit, which was never enough to cover repairs.

What happened to just leaving a good ol' fashioned deuce somewhere to get back at a landlord? People have no couth anymore.

Not much can be done other than busting out the slab and running new drain lines,

You'd think you'd be able to have some sort of jackhammer on a snake sort of tool, and then be able to grind the concrete out from there to the point of the lines being usable again.


An expensive process for sure but maybe less than buying a house

Years ago when I was selling building materials, a residential builder started to get in arrears with paying his bills. He owed his plumbing contractor something like $50k and the plumbing contractor went to the builder’s personal house that was under construction and poured QwikCrete into all the drains in the house. The builder shortly after went bankrupt and skipped town. The incomplete house sat there for a few years before it was finally sold. My employer got stuck for a couple of thousand uncollectable. Don’t know how the plumber made out.

Just a bad Taco Bell dinner. That’ll buff right out.
