My basement floor drain backed up during a rainstorm in April

I was down there moving some boxes when I saw water bubbling up around the drain cover. I tried a cheap plastic drain snake from the hardware store, but it just got stuck. Ended up calling a plumber who found a broken pipe under the slab, which cost me $1,200 to fix. Anyone know a good way to check for these problems before they flood your house?

Ugh, that's the worst kind of surprise bill.

Yeah, "surprise bill" is the worst. What got you, @ross.christopher? Medical thing or some random fee?

What, did they charge you for breathing?
