One of the apartment blocks we regularly service in Sydney recently had a very unhappy resident with sewerage flooding into her lounge room! It happened when she wasn’t home so she couldn’t call Plumber To The Rescue for help immediately. Unfortunately, this gave the overflowing drain time to cause a great deal of damage to her unit. Even worse, it could have been avoided; the resident said she had heard the drains gurgling during the week before the flood, but she didn’t think anything of it. If only she had known gurgling drains are a major warning sign of worse to come!
