Well, we have a leak and the ironic thing is I told the foundation company I was getting a test done and he said I was wasting my money, he didn’t see any signs of a leak. I have quickly learned that the foundation companies prey on fear and they don’t treat the problem just the symptoms. So if I would have spent the 10k like most people do and hadn’t check for leaks or fix the soil issues, the same thing would have happened again. The plumber put a balloon in the line and filled up the pipe where the toilet was. Immediately, the water level dropped 6-8 inches, we did this a couple of times to make sure all air was out of the lines and it again went down 6-8 inches and held there for over 2 hours. The plumber is coming back Tuesday to isolate different areas in the house to pinpoint the leak. 

Thanks once again to you Richard for telling us to get the leak test or we would have never found out. Much appreciated,

Hello Richard-your conversation and advice to me on our “High grove street house for sale” was “a light in the dark” last August(?). We found someone to replace the rotted beam under the tub and floor jack it a bit . The piers were fine.(all from your advice after your careful listening and “try this first”) and it leveled up fine and has held, even with torrential rains. We still have some work to do (now cosmetic) before (we hope) the neighborhood market turns better to sell. I still house my office there for now. Its 3 blocks from my home. You are in my personal file, I will send others to you. So nice to know a really good guy! Merry Christmas.
