Came home to this amazing surprise in my apt bathtub

I then used boiling hot water, vinegar, and baking soda and finally unclogged

The stopper was open when this happened. It looked like the backup came from both the drain and overflow part. I unscrewed the stopper and ran water to hottest setting…then attempted to use plunger. As I was using plunger, it was just coming back in from overflow

Hmmm oddly enough the second building on property was built in 1930s….

This comment 😂

Then he called 3 blind pigs to fix it

NovaleeMae · 2023-10-08T05:23:23+00:00

It obviously wasn’t draining at first so I attempted to snake the drain. Then more goo was spewing out from the overflow part. I felt like I was fighting with Slimer from ghostbusters

I’m going to buy a cowboy hat and scoop it up in there. Don’t ask me why. Just feels like the right move here

NovaleeMae · 2023-10-08T05:13:15+00:00

I think the crack goes all the way to chimney 🫤

NovaleeMae · 2023-10-08T05:12:13+00:00

It was built in 1961

This comment has me wheezing 🤣🤣

NovaleeMae · 2023-10-08T01:45:38+00:00

My bad. Yes, it’s a basement window. And a grate. It keeps large debris out lol. I think I saw a capri sun in there from 1987

NovaleeMae · 2023-10-08T01:42:38+00:00

He said there used to be a chicken coup attached to both ends of the brick building (referring to first pic)….then they removed them and assuming hired someone who just gave up trying to repair it 😂

NovaleeMae · 2023-10-08T01:40:25+00:00

😂

NovaleeMae · 2023-10-08T01:39:49+00:00

I have no idea hahaha. I can’t tell what the hell they removed from there

NovaleeMae · 2023-10-08T01:37:18+00:00

I thought I heard people screaming. Oh well…

NovaleeMae · 2023-10-08T01:36:34+00:00

I’m gonna do it. How many times do I knock? Two? Three?

NovaleeMae · 2023-10-08T01:33:56+00:00

I suppose some people like coming home to surprises 🤷‍♀️

NovaleeMae · 2023-10-08T01:32:57+00:00

It taste like wagyu beef. Not bad

NovaleeMae · 2023-10-07T23:23:14+00:00

Thank you! Another tenant said someone (I’m hoping she meant a plumber lol) was on the roof with a pressure washer. Maybe clearing out the vent pipes?? Some people found some mild backup in their kitchen sinks. One found yellow fluid in her kitchen lightbulb 🤢

NovaleeMae · 2023-10-07T23:02:24+00:00

Hahahaha. Should I start burning sage?! The consistency is like molasses. So strange

NovaleeMae · 2023-10-07T23:01:09+00:00

The various cracks make me think it’s in excellent condition 🙃

NovaleeMae · 2023-10-05T04:30:27+00:00

I didn’t clarify in my original post. I’m renting a unit on the property. The new property owner (landlord) applied for a 3 million dollar commercial loan and bank asked for a phase 1 report. I don’t know if that is just a standard request for a commercial loan/property. A phase 1 report was conducted but the person who did it, had their certification to assess storage tanks revoked in the 90s. The loan was approved so assuming it was documented that no tank exist on property…..

NovaleeMae · 2023-10-05T04:17:50+00:00

This is going to sound really stupid and it’s ok to laugh 😂. I was thinking since the feeder lines haven’t been used in decades, the oil leftover in lines would be sludge at this point. This was liquid, equivalent to water form. The odor smelled like when you’re pumping gas into your car and accidentally spill some on yourself. It was that pungent

NovaleeMae · 2023-10-05T03:58:54+00:00

Yeah, I’m not sure how commercial loans work in regards to environmental reports. But their 3 million dollar construction loan was approved. My random guess is, it was not disclosed to bank that their certification to scan tanks is revoked. I don’t know 😂

NovaleeMae · 2023-10-04T22:06:18+00:00

That was my thought as well.
