Girlfriend's Revenge
I am a claims adjuster and see some strange stuff. I worked a claim recently where the insured/homeowner asked his girlfriend to move out because he had made up with the wife, and the wife and kids were moving back home.
He informed the girlfriend and told her when he came home from work he wanted her and her stuff to be out of there. When he came home from work she was gone but left him some presents.
She filled all the plumbing fixtures with Quickcrete. I looked at the house a couple of days later and qucikcrete works as advretised. Both toilet bowls all the sinks, and bath tubs were rock hard. The house was on a slab so the waste lines underneath the slab are also full of concrete. The guy said he was having to the gas station down the street to do his business.

I doubt muratic acid would do any good. The toilets were filled with quickcrete and rock hard up to the rim.
Sinks and tubs rock hard and about 3"-4" deep at the drain.

So what is the insurance company gonna do? Pay for it after charges have been pressed?

The insurance co. denied the claim.
Vandalism caused by an occupant/resident of the home is not covered. Since she is a resident of the home until the homeowner returned from work she had legal possession of the home. (You can't vandalize your own home and then expect the insurance co. to pay for it)
He is up poop creek without a toilet.

I would hate to see that repair bill. New fixtures and plumbing pipes and a jackhammer by the hour ( in the house) to reinstall new 4" PVC pipes under the slab. Maybe even upto the road. Judge Judy...small claims court here we come.

I am just glad the Insurance company denied the claim. Has anyone pulled the fixtures to see if the concrete was in the pipes or did the woman just dump it into the fixtures? The traps should have stopped the concrete unless she was pouring and flushing at the same time etc. Even then a roto rooter may clean out the thin mostly aggregate mix concrete left behind as the water rushed by carrying most of the cement with it.

Actually, he could go the cheap route. He could raise the new tiolet off the floor. By doin this he could run the plumbing above the slab. The run it out the house with a new connection to the sewer line. I cant imagine the concrete made it all the way to the yard.
I guess he could get away with all that. Good luck sellin the house like that.
Sure doesnt sound like a pretty plan. Expensive still, I imagine far cheaper than tearing up the foundation.

It would be hard to flush much of the concrete thru the sink and tub traps. The toilets have a trap that would also stop most of it also. I think it would be very hard to flush enuf concrete to fill the pipes.
