Help Guadalupe with a gas fitter's skills: a septic backup
A gas fitter is needed to repair a septic backup at the home of a family of 5.
🇪🇸 Madrid, Madrid, Spain156 views
In April 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 $1,250 are beyond us.
I'm looking for a licensed gas fitter who may be able to donate a few hours or do the repair at cost. I can cover the parts, which I estimate at $140.
The job should take about four 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 a gas fitter and can help, or know a program that assists with this sort of repair, I'd really appreciate it.
Thank you so much.

Wishing you the best, Guadalupe. Looking forward to the next update. All the best.
you're not alone, Guadalupe. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps.
Good luck. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Thinking of Madrid.
hang in there. Shared this with my family. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. God bless.
Thinking of you, Guadalupe. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Sent it to 27 people at work. Take care.
