A pensioner says she is 'living a nightmare' in a flat with a broken boiler
A pensioner says she is 'living a nightmare' in a flat with a broken boiler - and now it's making her ill.
Ms Trentham said: "Because it happened on a Sunday, I had to call MTVH out of hours. I said that I have had a flood and if they could send an engineer. He came and confirmed that I have done the right thing isolating the boiler switch and that is all I needed to do. She believes that a backflow of water came inside from where the condensate pipe goes into the drain. Ms Trentham said that a worker attended the property on Leys Road, Ruddington, a few days later and drained the boiler.
Despite her best efforts to save the kitchen floor with eight towels, Ms Trentham said she has nowhere to air them as she has no heating. She added: "I have been cold the whole time because I can only heat the lounge. The rest of the flat has been 14 °C."Just a week ago this Saturday, I had the most terrible flood. The whole kitchen was under two inches of water. I had to put the fan heater after I mopped everything.
She also said that the ordeal made her feel "emotional", adding: "I am trying to walk around the local park every day because that is the only thing that is keeping me sane. Sometimes I feel like I could sit down and just scream and scream.
