Diamond Engagement Ring Flushed Away
She took them off and kept them on the sink but somehow they fell off and while one was found in the trash can, the other got flushed down the toilet bowl. Janelle Vann lost her £18,000 diamond engagement ring and she was shattered.
This happened in Westchase, Florida and all she could think of was how soon to call a plumber, hoping that she would find the ring. However, plumber after plumber said there was no hope of finding it. Then she managed to contact a group called the Drain Doctors and they came to help with hi-tech equipment. What they did was to feed in a fibre optic camera down the toilet bowl till it went through the pipes and located the ring which was nearly 25 feet away.
The problem of how to retrieve the ring now cropped up. Would it mean digging up all the tiles? That would entail such a huge amount by way of repairs. However, this group managed to get the ring back after hours of hard work without having to rip out anything. Janelle was thrilled to bits and the group was so glad that they brought the smile back to her face.
