Electrician needed urgently: Lola's home isn't safe

Lola has a septic backup, and can't afford a licensed electrician to fix it; a few hours of professional help would make the home safe.

In November an inspector told me that my home has a septic backup. It's a safety risk for me and my two small children. The landlord has refused to act, and quotes of $310 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 $15. The job should take about six 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.

    Wishing you peace. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I went through something like this 9 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Fresno

      Sending good thoughts, Lola. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Don't give up.

        take care. Your post was clear and honest. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.

          shared it with a few friends. We're a small family in Madurai but we're thinking of you. Take care
