Ugh that's awful D:

If you're on a public sewer, the city is required to pay for everything. You move into a hotel until it is finished. It happened to my entire block 2 years ago and we all moved out while the city contracted people to come in and gut our basements and refinish them. It was kind of sweet looking back now. At the time, it was naaassty.

yeah send your neighbors the bill. good luck identifying whose shit and pee it is

This happened once in a place I was renting where the garden flooded with sewage due to a blocked pipe and the garden being at the bottom of a hill. Worse than the floaters I think was the used tampons from the lady who lived there 3 months before we moved in and been fermenting in the pipe along with all our shit!!

This is why I don't leave my house.

So quick question: exactly how full of shit are the people who live around you? According to this FML, you'd be the one to know :) oh and FYL. Yuck!

Ugh. so awful. Some guy hired my dad to fix the plumbing in one the houses he owned (and rented out) my dad went to their basement and saw all the raw sewage. The owner wouldn't drain the waste out of the basement til the pipe was fixed, cause they didn't want to have to clean it up twice. Was pretty nasty, from what I hear. Wearing a hazmat suit and standing on a pile cinder blocks so that you're only standing in crap up to your ankles instead of your knees. ick. OP: I'm sorry. That's all. Just I'm sorry that you have to deal with that.

I am not sure it matters where the sewage came from. It's sewage. That's the part that matters.

At my old house we used to have a hundred gallon pit for when it overflowed. It was in the basement, so by the time we realized it had ****** up, it was halfway full. It. Was. Disgusting.

Would it have been better if it had been your own sewage?
