The Kitchen Contest

Hey Steem fam! So I have a sewer-plumber guy here in my apartment after the regular maintenance took one look at my kitchen sink and knew I needed a professional. The plumbing in this building is really borked. How borked?

-I've had more clogs and leaks than I can even remember. The wood on the bottom of the kitchen cabinet where the sink is is warped beyond all reason from how wet it's gotten
-I've had it rain inside my apartment when a pipe burst two stories up
-I've had the inlet to the toilet just pop off early one Sunday morning and start flooding my bathroom
-I've had the light on my balcony fill with water any time it rained for like the first year or so I lived here
-The paint on that wall still has a bubble INSIDE the apartment, the other side of the wall from said light
-I've seen water pouring out of a light fixture in the first level of garage
-We had the entire second level of garage fill with water to the ceiling during a flash flood
-The courtyard used to flood every time it rained until the city replaced the mains around the corner
-It used to be every time it rained, now only every time it's a bad rain, the pumping trucks are deflooding the garages
-If we use too much liquid laundry soap in the upper floors, the first floor gets flooded with suds
-Both my laundry washer and my dishwasher have been replaced because they sprung leaks
-Even after replacing, the dishwasher would have water flood it from the sink until very recently

...and that's just what comes to mind off the cuff. We need like feng shui intervention regarding the water, here.

Anyway, so here is the current state of my kitchen:

The plumber was cussing and walked out without a word for a few minutes, and then right after the maintenance guy came knocking looking for him because my neighbor - horizontal to me - now has water coming up out of his dishwasher.

Yeah, that's how borked the plumbing is.

A couple of years ago, my downstairs neighbor had this same procedure - snaking - done in her kitchen, and it came up into my pipes ABOVE her. The same is happening to this plumber working on mine now - it keeps going UP.

THAT'S how borked the plumbing is.
