Hello. We moved into a rental house that is approx. 5-6 years old a little over a month ago. There was a problem with the upstairs toilet and the landlord asked if we could remove it and set it in the garage and he would replace it with a new one. So we did that and put old towels in the hole until a new one could get installed. Our landlord travels extensivley and we still have no toilet yet and that has been since we moved in pretty much (a little over a month ago) My question is, is there any danger to having a hole stuffed with towels for this long? We have a teenager whose room is up by that bathroom (not connected) and is fearful of even staying in the bedroom because of possible gas that can't be smelled leaking out of the hole where the towels have been stuffed. I am assuming that since this is relativley a newer neighboorhood that the sewer system is as well. I tried to explain that all 3 bathrooms work on the same line and when you flush any of them, it cleans out the pipes so to speak and that gravity sucks things out, not pushes them in or up, am I right on that? Thanks so much for your answers on this.
