So plumber was able to find the obstacle in the laundry drain pipe. It's an old pipe cap. Somebody messed up put one too small and it dropped into the pipe. It's 1 foot deep into fundation. Paid $500 for them to try to take it out. They've tried vacuum it out. Then tried to melt it... No avail. Told me that need them to chip away some concrete fundation outside to get to that pipe piece then cut it out. Replace with new. $1100.
Any tips how to do it? My friend wants to weld a screw to a rod. Self tapped one. Then use drill with said rod and drill into that stuck cap. See pics, perhaps y'all have other ideas?
