Is there a plumber who can donate a few hours in Reading?
Samuel has a septic backup, and can't afford a licensed plumber to fix it; a few hours of professional help would make the home safe.

In August an inspector told me that my home has a septic backup. It's a safety risk for me and my newborn. The landlord has refused to act, and quotes of $2,000 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 $170.
The job should take about three 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.

rooting for you, Samuel. Shared this with my family. Love from Jakarta
Good luck. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I hope November is when things finally get easier.
rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. All the best.
