The whole floors needs to be ripped apart and fix the drain pipe then tiles needs to be done. I am looking at 10k-15k to fix everything.
Depends on your insurance, give them a call and ask
The internet doesn’t know your insurance provider or what coverage you purchased.
Thanks mate
Assess damage and cause.
Consult a lawyer.
Insurance may cover it, and they may sue the tenant to reclaim costs. But best to ask the insurer.
I think it depends if you have land lord insurance or not.
Beyond that im listening to a video about the movie tennant so i was somewhat confused
WTF? A bag of powdered cement?
Make sure to get a second opinion just in case (10-15K is nothing to sniff at!). Some photos from a snake cam would be good too. More information will empower you.
N.B. “Tiles need to be redone” is an understatement. A proper job will involve ripping ALL tiling from the bathroom, removing all adhesives (may be easy or hard depending on what they used), probably re-rendering, re-waterproofing (ideally twice), then laying new tiles. Cheaping out on these steps can lead to earlier ones ruining later ones, requiring you to do the entire thing all over again (it’s a horror).
Sounds like you need a better plumber or a better tenant
What did they pour down? Did they do so to unclog? Could a plunger or snake or camera be considered first? Had they already reported any problems to you? Has there been problems before this?
You need to check your policy as to what is covered. Blockages may come under normal wear and tear. Or it may be you need to seek costs from the tenant if they’ve done the wrong thing. Likewise, you may need to take from their bond etc and you may have an excess. Certainly id be getting a second opinion.
