Plumber needed urgently: Terry's home isn't safe
Terry 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 September 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 $1,050 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 $80.
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 plumber and can help, or know a program that assists with this sort of repair, I'd really appreciate it.
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

rooting for you. Looking forward to the next update. I hope January is when things finally get easier. All the best.
sending strength, Terry. Hope this works out for you. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
Take care. Your post was clear and honest. Put this on a community board in Gulu this morning. Take care.
Wishing you the best. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. God bless
