in the course of our job we've all been in some disgusting houses and i'm sure have some stories we use to shock people who arent in the trade
in my relatively short career i already have 2 shockers
one guy, the waste from the bathroom sink in the flat above had never been connected to the soil stack, so every time the family above used their basin it dumped the water directly into his living room.
he didnt know who at the council to complain to so put up with it for 17 years. the ceiling of course had gone and the room itself had fungus and green slime growing everywhere, but he was still using the room
the other story was a council block where all the radiator valves where being changed to TRVs, as we were going along doing the flats people kept asking 'are you going to flat 22 the cat lady'
This lady in flat 22 kept hundreds of cats in her flats, she never let any of them out, all the window and doors were sealed and they were all in there breeding, s###ing, p##'ing and dying.
when i knocked on the door the smell of ammonia rotting food and decaying animals was like a punch in the face. impossible to count how many cats were in that flat but they were everywhere.
I told the lady i'd be back to do the job but never did
thought i'd better post this in the closed forum, dont want anyone getting sued
