That thought experiment says more about your thoughts on plumbers than anything else.

I live in Chicagoland, which has the largest water reclamation facility on Earth in order to prevent the entire region's basements from flooding under storm water pressure. It doesn't work, and I have multiple times had the pleasure of watching from my basement stairs as plumbers waded through raw sewage to clear obstructions in the lines at my house. It's a tough job that requires a lot of skill and nobody is doing that for love.

  • Thank you for proving my point by fixating on the raw sewage part.

    Contrary to what you think, no plumber would abstain from fixing plumbing permanently, even if it meant no more wading through said sewage.
