Bathroom sink backwashed in the middle of the night with blood clots and body tissue material in average apartment complex. Do people usually force medical waste through the lines at night?

Bathroom sink filled with backwash containing blood clots in apartment aprox 4a.m. Do people usually force medical waste through the lines at night?

Medical waste has to be incinerated... blood is considered a biohazzard.

But what country do you live in... standards aren't universal.

I'm in Colorado in an average apartment complex on the top floor. Someone had to force it hard through the lines. Do people usually cram blood clots and tissue through the lines to dispose instead of incinerate? To save money? It happened in the middle of the night about 4 times recently. Creepy.

Um... you aren't getting medical waste to the top floor apartment... without flooding all the lower levels, Simple physics... if its backing up in yours... it has to be spraying out of theirs.

You have gunk from the sewer pipes in your unit loose and backing up from a clog. HUGE difference there.

Not necessarily Smoothy, could be blockage between top floor and next floor down.
If there is no flooding below, that means the individual doing it is also on the top floor.

This is ridiculous and creepy. If it's blood and human tissue, which of course you don't really know without a microscope and some knowledge of various species, you call the cops or take a jar of it to a police station.

If blood and body tissue comes into my toilet I'm calling the cops. Someone in my area must be into something creepy.

Yeah... but there isn't a hospital or medical center in the apartments on the same floor... or the Roof. That's what my point is.

Now if there are Russian Mobsters living next door disposing of bodies down their garbage disposal..?

Most likely someone with a serious medical issue and bandages are being flushed down the toilet.

And if that's the case... it should be the Apartment managers issue to resolve. And they would be able to find out if that's the case.

Because they said apartment and not condominium... I assume its all rental units. And not owner occupied units, in which case it would be different.

It could just as easily be feminine napkins being flushed and clogging up the pipes. And yeah... there actually are people dumb enough to think those can be flushed.

Maybe he's a all night butcher prepping for the following days sales shoving all his waste into
The disposal. Or not.
