Hey guys, this afternoon in MTL we had a major rain storm, probably the biggest ive seen since living in my current apartment (roughly 5 years). I live on the ground floor of a 1940 era sixplex.
My toilet started gargling, so i closed the lid and for the duration of the storm the toilet continued to violently gargle.. i was freeking out anticipating a flood of sewage and surrounded it with old towels..
The whole storm lasted about 10 minutes. I then called the city, I was told to call my landlord so he could get a plumber to assess if the problem is on his property or the city.
My landlord is passed retirement and just gave me the runaround saying he recently had the roof vent replaced (he also said my bathroom that looks like its from the 80's was recently renovated lol).
He said he'd talk to a plumber and asked me to ask around. Hes a real nice man and means well so im trying to get as much info as i can before going the legal route.
