I'm no lawyer but...

I don't believe the law specifies a time period.

It likely depends on the urgency.

If water is spraying on your stuff, it should be fixed ASAP.

If it is a leaky faucet, more time would be reasonable.

There is a general principle that if a landlord does not fix something (like Plumbing) in a reasonable amount of time, the tenant may have the work done and deduct the cost from rent.

Before doing this, try notifying your landlord in writing and state a deadline.

In every state, landlords have a common law duty to provide adequate plumbing. In your case, the plumbing was blocked before you moved in. Accordingly, your landlord cannot hold you responsible for fixing or unblocking the pipes. If your landlord demands that you pay for the blocked pipes or you continue to have plumbing problems, you will need to see a landlord-tenant law attorney or tenant's rights group in your area.
