re: How much is this gonna cost me (plumbing)

I'm in Houston. He fixed the valve stem. It was stuck and I didn't want to break anything. Only reason I had to call. I literally had the whole thing apart waiting for him to pull the little cartridge. Still set me back $250 for a Sunday call, but at least it works now.

The cracks in the grout have been there and I've been meaning to call forever (probably a year, I'm lazy). Cracks in the foundation are small and we're noted by the inspector when purchasing the house. Said it didn't look major. More seems like the leaking shower pan is just finding it's way to the edge of the foundation then leaking out along the cracks. I'm hoping on the small end, it's just redoing the shower and tub. Hoping this isn't some major foundation issue. I would hope insurance would come into play at that point.
