    Default Dammit, is there a Plumber in the house?!

    I swear if it's not one thing it's another. For the past few days, my toilet makes this gurgling sound. I usually just ignore it. Well I go to inspect the nose a second ago, and it looks like water is filling up AND there is shredded toilet paper coming up too (you all know I dont like bathroom issues) So me being Miss Curiousity I flush the toilet. BIG FUCKING NO-NO. The toilet starts gurgling and the water starts to overflow onto my toilet. When the toilet got finished filling the thing w/ water the overflow stopped. I had to scoop out the excess water.

    So is there anything I should do? I could call the maintence line in my buiding, but I dunno if I would really consider this an "emergency" since it's after hours and all..any suggestions?

    Good thing it didn't spill over onto the floor! I've had that happen once or twice and all I can say is yuck.. So you got all of the excess water out right? Do you have a plunger? If so, use it. And I know you're not *supposed* to use Drano or Liquid Plumber in your toilet, but I have before and it works.

    If the plunger doesnt work, I'd call. If stuff is going to come out the pot and damage the place I think its an emergency. Or at least call maintenance and see what they say about it. Plus, is this the only toilet? What if you have to use it. You dont want to be without a toilet all night.

    CK, your pipes are blocked. A plunger won't help b/c it's not just the toilet - the blockage is far enough down the drain that it's backing up into two fixtures. Call maintenance. They need to snake the drain.

    The black stuff is sewage. I'm sorry to have to tell you this. It is an emergency. Call them.

    Dude, how about I called the emergency pager 3x before the douche called me back. First time I called was 7:29?pm, 2nd @ 7:58pm, 3rd @9:03pm. First time I left a voicemail, 2nd and 3rd I left numerical pages. How about he didn't call til 9:06pm. I told him what was wrong and he was like, well did you try flushing it... I'm like, "ummm did you hear what I said there is feces in my toilet and tub (so high it's enough to run a bath) no i'm not going in there. So he's like we'll there really isnt' anything I can do until the morning because after all it is after 9pm EXCUSE ME!!!! WHAT THE FUCK! So I let his ass have it. He's all like, "well that's all fine and dandy ma'am but you're the one who called and left the wrong number." I said, "WRONG I first left you a voicemail, THEN my house number, and then yes the 3rd time I paged you I did dial a 2 before I dialed my area code and number, but it's rather odd that when I dial the wrong numbers you call back!" He's like, "well like I said there aint' nothing we can do until the morning" So I'm like listen, I know my rights!!!" Hes like, 'and how am I violating your rights" Can you fucking believe this dick. I hung up in his face...

    5min later the owner of the building called me and said he's gonna call roter-rooter and they'll give me a call personally to come out within the next 1-2hr. I"m so pissed right now. This type of treatment Iwill not stand for. First thing tomorrow I'm putting in my 30notice on this place and I'm outta here!

    Don't put any water down any drains anywhere in your apt until it's fixed...

    Sorry to hear that, CK. The guy you called is obviously an idiot. Raw sewage backing up into two fixtures is an emergency. You have rights as a tenant, and one of those rights is to have functional plumbing. Raw sewage backing up into your tub and an overflowing toilet is a health hazard.

    Any maintenance person worth a shit would know that it's an emergency and needs to be fixed right now.

    FWIW, I've used Roto-Rooter in the past - my experience is that they provide good service.

    Good luck tonight. I hope it gets fixed soon.

    How many floors is your building, and what floor are you on? You may want to ask your upstairs neighbors to not flush toliets or run water until the Roto-Rooter gets there.

    Ok, Roto-Rooter guy got here a little after 10:30pm. Cool dude! Anyways, he fixed the drain so now it's all good. I just got done cleaning my tile floor and tub. First w/ Mean Green, then Mr. Clean and finally bleach. I've been holding my pee for about 7hrs now and I'm still afraid to use it. Well at least my bathroom is clean. I'm going back to the store tomorrow to buy more bleach. Then I'm going to handscrub my floor and tub! Kill all those nasty germs!!!

    I cant' believe that dude! I'm going first thing in the morning to put in my 30-days notice. I've been living here (this is my first apt mind you) for a little over 3yrs! It's a shame that I'm going to move out because of some rude ass maintenance guy but CameronFL you're right..hopefully they fire the prick.

    oh, god, don't get me started on plumbing issues. The last place I rented in tampa I flushed the toilet and shitty water started pouring all over my bathroom floor. And I hadn't even taken a shit that day in the toilet! Yuck! I was gagging. and the damn people didn't fix it for like 3 days or something. I kept hanging out in the mall so I wouldn't have to be home and one night slept at the firm I was working for with my dog on the sofa.

    I'm glad they got it fixed. I ended up offering to pay my ex to clean the bathroom up. It made me too sick. I'd rather eat a cockroach than clean up toilet water.

    When toilets start to overflow take the top off your water (refill) tank and press down on the big flap that lets water in to the bowl. Better do it now so you learnhow to do it.

    This buys you some time to find a solution before it overflows.

    As they said your main drain line is plugged up. you are not living in livable conditions. You say mgt is unresponsive. Seems to me you can call a plumber of your choice and withhold it from the rent. Putting in your notice won't help if they won't return your deposit due to the external plumber bill. You need to put on the pressure, not run away.
    I loved going to strip clubs; I actually made some friends there. Now things are different for the clubs and for me. As a result I am not as happy.

    Customers are not entitled to grope, disrespect, or rob strippers. This is their job, not their hobby, and they all need income. Clubs are not just some erotic show for guys to view while drinking.

    NOTE: anything I post here, outside of a direct quote, is my opinion only, which I am entitled to. Take it for what you estimate it is worth.

    I was gone when my toilet overflowed. When I walked in the door that is what I found. Well the owner is the one who called and told me he was going to call the roto-rooter guy. My landlord got billed for this mess, not me. I'm still going to move out anyway. I've been here 3 years my apt. is emmaculate. They have no reason not to give my deposit.

    Oh, and this morning I went to the main office and talked to the property manager. I told her what went down and she was in utter disbelief. Lucky me, she told me they were due to have a meeting today anyway and dude was going to be attending that meeting. She also suggested that I write out a complaint just so that she has a hardcopy for her file. So yea, I'm going to do that too.

    The first house I owned we had constant plumbing issues., in our master bath. Anyways my bathroom did the same fucking thing. It was so goddamn gross. It took them 3 days to get to it. At the time I was 2 months pregnant , so with morning sickness and shit literally coming out of drains .

    Anyways, it did it again several times after. I don't know how it works for apts as I had a house an didn't have to share a sewage with anyone else. But we had constant issues after.

    If I had to give you advice I'd move too. At least in the meantime I'd save all the reciepts from the cleaning services and have the landlord take it off your rent.

    Don't run away stand your ground they need to fix the problem. I agree call a plumber and take the total off the next months rent. Another option would be to threaten to report them to the dept of health.

    Oh, that's what I meant. There was SHIT in the toilet water. And just toilet water makes me gag but the shit did me in.

    I think reading this thread jinxed me. I am having plumbing problems again and the plumber had to come out today and has to come back again tomorrow. Luckily at least now I have responsive landlords.

    They're most likely going to fire that guy so I don't think you have to move (unless you have other issues with this complex.) Obviously the landlord knew that this was a genuine emergency that posed a threat to your health. Maybe he didn't realize that the maint. guy he hired was such an idiot.

    I feel your pain about the gross factor tho - same thing happened to me at my last apt - tub, toilet & sinks overflowed during a heavy rainstorm. Nasty.
