we have a septic tank. The previous homeowners indicated that they were on city sewer and that there were no known problems. The first week (excuse me, day!!!) we started experiancing plumbing problems, which led to the discovery of a septic tank. Who is responsible for fixing this problem…us, old owners, or the real estate agent?

Now my question is, Is that ok to rent and have my mail and what knot sent there but I will seldomly be there? And do I still have to go through the Home business inspection at city hall since this ladys office space is pretty much in her yard?

Thank you for taking my poll. I love to help because I was raised with no indoor plumbing. It enabled me to appreciate the finer things in life

He said by elevating the shower and drain, and the toilet, there would be enough pitch to flow to the location of the drain.
Another contractor told me I must place the plumbing directly under the 1st floor plumbing. Which is correct? How much pitch do I need? How elevated would I need to be to traverse about 15 feet away?

I am currently renting a property with a Vokera boiler. Since Septemer 2005 if has broken down 7 times, each time the landlady has got it fixed and paid for it. Last time it broke down in December and now it has broke down this week (4 month use) I asked about getting a new boiler installed as this is unacceptable (we are without heat and hot water untill next week) she said no giving the following “Facts?” about boilers :-
(a)All new boilers are condensing boilers
(b) her current plumber will not fix them so you have to have manufactures insurance (I think she is trying to say that modern day plumbers can’t fix these new boilers!)
(c) that they are just as bad if not worse than the boiler I own
(d) it will conk out after 5 years use
Can any plumber who is online confirm or denigh these facts, do all new boiler break down about 3 times per year ????
Any help appreciated

My friend told me that i can buy a electric heater to put in the tub. But she said inside is the correct? She told i can remove the water head were the water come out and install the electric heater. Its that correct?

Assuming that you are the purchaser and have now found that the home you are purchasing has significant deferred maintenance these are typically what people do:
1. Blow out of the contract
2. Keep you mouth shut and move on, especially if the home was priced with the damages/repair in mind
3. Attempt to negotiate a settlement with the seller based upon anticipated costs of the repairs.
Typically, if you are writing a letter to the seller, it is because you have a contingency for inspection in the contract and are going to begin the process for 1 or 3.
