    Thumbs down Well shit...literally.

    So this morning I awoke with gurgling sounds coming from my bathroom. Well the sewage has decided to come up through my bath tub and toilet proceeding to fill the toilet to the brim then overflowing poo all over my floor. My tub about 4-5inches deep in brown sewage as well. I had to miss class because I can't shower in shit or take a piss without having the toilet overflow again.

    Ive called them 4 times now and NO ON has answered my calls. I know its a Saturday before noon and all. I even called the emergency line and still no one has called me back. All the city health offices are closed until Monday. Im giving the health inspection office a call on Monday.

    Under my conditions the apartment can be deemed inhabitable. I have to work tomorrow and dont want shit coming through my pipes into my tub.

    I want to move yet Im in a 6 month lease. Im not sure if I can break my lease and move to another unit since the problems just occurs randomly. Even now Im aware (I spoke to another tenant) that when they repair the units problem they still have under the unit plumbing problems to fix. They did inspections on Wednesday and everything was fine. So, I want to move and hoping I can make a deal with them by either giving my full deposit back or moving my deposit to another unit on the same property or another property they own.

    Im confused here. No one has fucking called me back and I want to take a godamn shower!!!!!! Is there anything else I can do?
    I took pics with my camera already too.

    Check into a hotel and make them pay the bill! This is a major, major emergency and could cause a lot of expensive damage to the apartment, so I don't know why they wouldn't want to fix it as soon as possible.

    Keep calling and if you don't hear back before tonight get yourself a room on Priceline for tonight and tomorrow. You don't want to hang out with that health hazard.

    God, what a nasty thing to wake up to! I'm sorry.

    Same thing that happened to me! Keep calling them, every hour on the hour..is your landlord a company name? For example, I can look my landlord up and they have a website. If your landlord does have a website, see if you can get their personal number so that you can reach someone.

    So Im hearing now its been happening to the whole bottom floor apartments. Im pretty sure as of now its only on my side of two sides. Its a U shaped complex. This is at least 4 units that have this problem. Apparently mine isnt as bad as the others. At least everything is contained in the bathroom. So I just shut the door.

    Fucken shit damnit >_<
    My apartment manager called me telling me they havent got back to him either. Their basically scrambling around wondering how they are gonna fix this. And this isnt the first time it has happened too. Damn, and I really liked my new apartment.

    I would firmly suggest that they get a Roto-Rooter out there to handle the problem. Because there is no way in hell My TM is gonna be up in some nasty ass shit filled apt. all weekend Dammit, gimme the number I'll call him!

    When I called the emergency maintenence people it was like 9pm when he called me back talking about there was nothign he could do. When I got up in his ass talking about I know my rights, they quickly called the Roto-Rooter people. This is a health hazard!

    Well its getting better. I think they realized its a health problem for the tenants involved. I really dont want to have to pack up and move again. But for health (especially away from poo) it would be worth every minute and cent. The property manager called me telling me that if they cant fix my problem today then theyll give me a hotel to stay in until its fixed. He also said that a bunch of plumbers and other guys are coming out Monday to do a plumbing over haul....he said something about the main line probably being broken too.

    I dont know what that is but it sounds expensive. So at least now they are trying to be accommodating by giving me a rent credit towards next months rent in the event that I have to stay in a hotel.

    For fucks sake I fucking hate apartments sometimes.

    sounds like the "back-flow preventer" (flap-type valve) failed or wasn't installed properly. hhhrm. <_<

    definitely a health issue and major problems for the property owner/manager. if it was a storm situation they might not be as liable ('act of god' scenario).

    but for it to just start backing up all of a sudden? they are soooo paying for the hotel bills.

    hope it gets better quick!

    Ugh...my condolences, TM. That's just terrible.

    You can cut the stench by pouring bleach in the tub & toilet AFTER you move your possessions out of the bathroom, open the window and run out the door after shutting it to prevent getting sick from the fumes & any possible methane bubbles & bleach reaction. (Tested solution, had the septic tank from hell...)

    Well, it's horrible, but it could be worse. The kitchen sink could be backed up too ; P

    Good GOD! Get yourself to that hotel quick! I'm sitting here shuddering, thinking of all the harmful bacteria you are being exposed to staying there one second longer than you have to! Sorry this happened to you--what a nightmare!

    *update*
    So the plumber came by and fixed what he could until Monday when all the contractors and plumbers get here to do a major overhaul of the first floors pipes. I mean like a 13 hour job. So I have to find somewhere else to go for the day to use electricity and the toilet. So the poo is gone and HOPEFULLY they can fix it in one day and it will never happen again. Its always nice to know that in case of an emergency move I could do it no problem. Hopefully I wont have to move again...I like my little place and Im trying to save for a townhome damnit.

    Ive had better mornings though. :/

    Eek! What a horrible situation. If we had more room, I'd offer for you to stay here. Hope you get to be able to work tonight!

    *update* Ive been in a hotel for the past 2 nights and now one more night tonight. Its been a shitty month so far so Im shelling out extra money on premade food I dont need to eat or buy. I havent even got to save any money so far b/c its been so bad. I even went home with $5 on Sunday.

    I just have to ride the owners ass getting copies of work that was done. Its all just adding to my stress about this. I just found out that I can get sick from the poo infested dirt even if it is dry when I come back home. So they have to treat/disinfect the dirt or remove and replace the dirt from underneath in "the swamp"of poo and filth. If not they have to move me to different clean unit. Just a big mess I dont wanna get into at all.

    I just wanna come back home and cook and eat my food I bought last week. I left my cat inside and come back to feed him twice a day. I miss my gray kitty loaf.

    Sorry to unload on ya but damnit I just wanna enjoy my house.

    OH gurl, don't fear the dirt. If it's dry and you spray disinfectant on it while using rubber gloves & a face mask, you can clean it up without a worry.

    It stinks....I'm sorry.

    Heck, can't any of the San Diego SW girls invite you over for a pleasant distraction?

    Well no more shit. Im back in my house now to only find out last night that access to the water heater is locked. Its inside the laundry room. So no hot shower...no washing dishes. Is it rude to call every 2 hours until they can come unlock the door to turn the pilot back on so I can take a damn hot shower.

    I am so over this whole ordeal.
