Blue water coming up from drain

Forum Title: Blue water coming up from drain

Last night blue water came up out of the drain in both my bathrooms in the tub, it filled up all the way to the top of the tub then went back down. Also, clear water came pouring out of the bottom of the toilet, not the top, it came from the bottom around the floor. I have little kids so I am worried about what the blue water could be? Could it be toxic? Also, my apartment is unusually warm, don't know if that could be related, could it? What is going on? Thanks!

It's likely acid. I'd say someone is loading the system with Drain-o or Liquid Plumber. DO NOT get it on your skin! When its all off the floor, clean thoroughly with soap/water.

Oh no, I did call the landlord last night and he said someone was coming but they never came. I am not home until tonight. What needs to be done to clean it up so I can know if they are doing it right? I have three little kids... How toxic is it? Is it stay in a hotel tonight toxic or... Thanks again!

Call your landlord. Some idiot is using very toxic chemicals to try to clear a main line clog. The water coming up is all VERY toxic! Do not touch it and have landlord clean up the hazardous waste.
