Hi All, agree, so nasty! We recently had two sewer pipe explosions on our property and the filth! And…the bizarre objects! And the cost! kentstreet should seriously be persuing the OC over this. Why should you have to pay for damage that is caused by an issue with CP? Having said that, our plumbers were able to identify where the blockage on our lot was coming from. We immediately sent out a notice to all residents without targetting any one person, so therefore we were accepting responsibility, but advising them of what not to put down their toilets. STRONGLY ADVISING. In the future if a blockage comes from the same area we will I imagine put the onus on that lot for repair. There were items such as nappy bags, tampons, kitty litter, whole vegetables. Luckily the caps on the top of the sewer pipes were loose (plumbers often do this to avoid explosions in lots) so the explosions were downstars rather than in the apartments that had the blockages. If they are tight the explosion is usually in the bathroom floor waste. I think regular checks on pipes may be difficult? And the cost prohibitive? So good luck and I am bloody glad I am not in kentstreets shoes! Touch wood….
