Elementary ‐ Daily Life ‐ Dr. Plumber (C0112)

A: Good afternoon! Did you call for a plumber?

B: Yes, yes I did. Please come in! Im so glad you came! This old house is falling

apart!

Come on into the bathroom. See, here, theres water leaking everywhere!

A: I see. Let me have a look. It seems that your toilet is clogged, and thats why it

wont

flush. Let me just get my plunger. No, thats not working either. I suspect that theres some

sort

of foreign object in the pipes thats causing a blockage. Thats whats making your

toilet

overflow.

B: Oh, that must be because of my four-year-old daughter. She is always flushing

things

down the toilet. You know how kids are.

A: Yeah, I have a little one myself. Anyway, these water pipes are really rusty, so

they

also should be changed. That could be causing water to not drain completely; that might

lead

to more problems in the future. I would also suggest fixing this faucet that isnt shutting

off

properly. I could have it all finished by today if its urgent.

B: That would be great! Is it expensive?

A: I would say about eight hundred dollars.

B: What? Thats more than I make in a day and Im a heart surgeon!
