DIOR 33 Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 ok boys i need some help. My drain has been blocked for about a week now (I think its blocked) when you have a shower the water comes up out of the drain on the floor which is under the bench told agent at the inspection last week and the landlord sent his mum here about 15 min ago with some stuff in a black bottle saying sulfuric acid for drains, I read the instructions and poured 1/4 of the bottle down the drain and stand for 5 min then flush with cold water but it started smoking and had this really bad smell, i put a folded up towel over my face and held my breath and put the bath tap on and the smell has gone through my house and i have thrown up everywhere out the front.

WTF Depends on if your plumbing is PVC or earthenware, in most older areas it will be earthenware in the ground and PVC or Galv under the house depending on age. The smell might very well have been the Sulphuric acid eating through the PVC, normally Drano will smell a little (mainly like Amonia) but shouldn't be that bad and really shouldn't travel through the whole house.

WTF tell your landlord that you want a plumber asap.....not his f**king mum......most cases the landlords cover the bill sent by the plumber etc.......sulfuric acid is highly toxic kelly......if you have been throwing up everywhere then my suggestion is go and see a doc asap......also have to make sure that there is no toxic "air" in the house as it will affect everyone in the house.....if you cant smell it doesnt mean it isnt there.....be safe Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/291831-the-sa-wasteland/page/598/#findComment-5307682 Share on other sites More sharing options...

bezender Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 Hey Kel, have a read through ur rental agreement. Are there any clauses relating to repair? i used to property manage a block of flats, and for items that are considered a necessity of daily life i wrote in there would be a 2-4 hour response time to assess any damage/need for repair. it did result in me getting up in the wee hours a few times and repairing fuses, and also sussing out busted water heaters. From there i would make a verbal commitment to the tennant with a maximum time that it would take to resolve (i used to go out on a limb big time with this). It is fairly common for land lords to want to fix things themselves... but that being said, i find it hard to believe the "mum" didnt stick around to make sure it works ok now. im my opinion both yourself and the landlord have taken reasonable action so far (apart from the mums lack of giving a shit). Given that working drains are a necessity of daily life, a plumber should be sent out quick smart.... not only so you dont have to be in a stinky flooded shower, but it also could cause further damage to the property (i'd play this card with the land son of rajab.... it is their investment after all) /2c Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/291831-the-sa-wasteland/page/598/#findComment-5307868 Share on other sites More sharing options...
