A licensed electrician to fix a dangerous fault at Gayan's home in Colombo
Looking for a licensed electrician in Colombo to donate time or work at cost.
Anywhere in the world1,549 views
In March an inspector told me that my home has a septic backup. It's a safety risk for me and my elderly mother. The landlord has refused to act, and quotes of $160 are beyond us.
I'm looking for a licensed electrician who may be able to donate a few hours or do the repair at cost. I can cover the parts, which I estimate at $20.
The job should take about eight hours. I'll make sure someone is home and will provide refreshments. I can share the inspector's written report on request.
If you're an electrician and can help, or know a program that assists with this sort of repair, I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks for being kind about this.
