I live in a rental house on Long Island, NY. My husband, three young children and I have been here since March of 2008. We bought a house in Herndon, Va and we are moving out on June 12th. Here is my problem:
About 4 days ago we started to have raw sewage back up into the basement shower when the washer drains water. I called my landlord and told him about it and he said for us to just wait until after we move out and he’ll fix the problem then. I again stated that it was not just water backing up but raw sewage. His cell phone disconnected and he’s not called me back. Is it his responsibility to hire a plumber at this point and fix this now even though we are moving out in 3 weeks? I am cleaning up raw sewage and my children play in the basement (it is a converted finished family room), and this is just plain gross! What can I do? Thanks.
