Roofer needed urgently: Gareth's home isn't safe
A roofer is needed to repair a septic backup at the home of a family of 3.
🇿🇦 Gqeberha, Eastern Cape, South Africa879 views
In June 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 $770 are beyond us.
I'm looking for a licensed roofer who may be able to donate a few hours or do the repair at cost. I can cover the parts, which I estimate at $50.
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 roofer and can help, or know a program that assists with this sort of repair, I'd really appreciate it.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. I went through something like this 2 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Atlanta.
I hope things turn around soon. Wish I lived closer to San Jose so I could bring a meal. Blessings.
