I had a clogged drain last night and to make a long story short I had a company come out today and check it out. They had to pull a toilet to unclog it. I was at work while the whole thing was going on.
They first called to let me know they had to pull the toilet to get to the drain and it was $55 extra.
Then like 45 mins later they called me saying that my toilet had a crack in the back and that I have to replace it. He said the piece most likely fell into the drain and could be part of the clog as well. They asked if I wanted them to take it away and I told them no I'll ahndle it, cause I wanted to see it.
So I get home and check it out, and the pic is below. It's basically symmetrical on both sides. I don't see at ALL how that could have happened and fell into the inside of the toilet. The angles of the part that cracked off are facing away from the toilet, so the piece would have fell out. Plus look at the shape, I don't think it would fit.
I also know I pissed this morning and flushed the toilet and no water was rushing out or anything, I would have noticed since I had to brush my teeth and stuff still. I'm pretty sure if I flushed with a hole like that, water would come rushing out.
So I'm thinking that the dude may have just fucked up and is trying to make this claim. Or is this something that could "just happen" to a toilet? Just seems fishy...
