When it happened last time the tenants gave their notice. They have been in the house for eighteen months but felt that having the drains back up three times was too much. They have a toddler and they worried about the baby's health. When the drains back up the area around the drain floods with what normally flushes down the drain.
I have renewed all the plumbing on this property and council virtually admits that the problem comes from their sewers. Council has added an exstension to my drain outlet in an attempt to fix the problem but it has had no effect. They also advised the tenants to call them first if any problems developed. Don't call a plumber and don't call the landlord!
It has been going on for five years or so. Everytime I complain council indicates that something will be done. I now feel I have really lost money in the way of rent, devaluation of the property and the cleaning expenses. What I would really like is for council to fix it's faulty sewers!
Do I have to amend my plumbing further to adapt to the existing sewers or should council renew their infrastructure?
