IS THIS LEGAL GROUNDS TO BREAK MY CONTRACT?

By Kate

I sprung a septic leak.  I got up in the morning to discover water all over the bathroom floor and in the carpeted area of the hall and bedrooms.  It was a Saturday, so I called the emergency maintainance guy.  It took about six hours, but the plumber finally came out to fix the problem.  In the meantime, my carpets are saturated with sewer water.  I asked management to send someone out with wet/dry vac. and to shampoo carpets.  They told me they could send someone on Mon.  I have several auto-immune diseases and should not be messing with raw sewage.  Is 48 hrs considered reasonable time to get this cleaned up?
