Help Serkan with a plumber's skills: a septic backup
Serkan has a septic backup, and cannot afford a licensed plumber to fix it; a few hours of professional help would make the home safe.
🇹🇷 Istanbul, Istanbul, Türkiye364 views
In December 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 $680 are beyond us.
I'm looking for a licensed plumber who may be able to donate a few hours or do the repair at cost. I can cover the parts, which I estimate at $75.
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 a plumber and can help, or know a program that assists with this sort of repair, I'd really appreciate it.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
