Plumber needed urgently: Tharindu's home isn't safe
A plumber is needed to repair a septic backup at the home of a family of 4.
🇱🇰 Jaffna, Northern, Sri Lanka733 views
In February 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 $480 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 $45.
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.
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Sending good thoughts, Tharindu. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. God bless!
Best of luck, Tharindu. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. We're a small family in Caloocan but we're thinking of you.
Rooting for you, Tharindu. This could happen to any of us. Love from Piraeus.
stay strong. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Bang Khen.
Thinking of you and your family, Tharindu. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did
