We own an inner city property that has sewer pipes being invaded by a neighbours tree. This is causing the pipe to block about once a year. On the last visit to unblock the line the plumber said the clay pipe is deteriorating an will need to be re lined in two sections (where the pipe joins) to stop the problem reoccuring. Shopped around to get a few quotes and the best one came back at $4600.
Rather than just fix the pipe I had my PM get in touch with the people next door to discuss having the trees removed as they are not only causing damage to our sewer line (and likely theres as they join up at some point) but it is also pushing over the dividing fence. The PM didn't get very far with then so I decided to call the lady up myself.
Woah what super *****!
She was very defensive right from the get go and said she could not remove the trees as she is only living there and it is her grandfather house who apparently is in a nursing home, her father just died, their business is failing and eventually they will be selling the house anyway. I then *nicely* asked if I could have the grandfathers details and she mentioned something about a an guardian organisation??? I was told them to F%^& off, I am a P%&**, etc etc.??? As she cried and hung up on me :confused::confused::confused::eek::eek:
I have a feeling I am not going to get far with these people at all. Has anyone been in a similar situation?
