Today, I finally received the last check from my insurance company after my house flooded 10 months ago. Tonight my house flooded again. FML
itwasalongnight tells us more.
OP here. First of all: Yay! It got published! Second to those who say I deserve it or should move: I own my condo, so not able to move at this point. I do not live in a flood zone or swamp. Both floods have been sewage backups from blockages at least 150 feet from my condo. The one 10 months ago happened while I was at work--that was a disaster. This time my neighbors flooded (badly) on both sides. Water from one neighbor came under our shared wall. Not too bad this time and I was able to get the clean out cap off outside right away so it flowed into my backyard instead of my house. Truly an awful experience to be sure. I thank my lucky stars that I opted to cancel my plans and stay home and watch a movie... Otherwise it would have been at least as bad as last time. I'll admit... I'm afraid to put that clean clean out cap back on!

To the retards commenting about an indoor pool: you do realize if the water floods higher than his toilet, all that shitty water will be everywhere? Sewage can back up and flow out of every sink, tub and toilet.

I am pretty sure they are just making a joke. Unless OP's doors all ensure watertight integrity and can contain the "indoor pool" or op just turns their house into a Venice canal; then maybe the indoor pool jokes are serious

Invest in a sump pump. We have one and has saved our butts from being flooded more times than I will probably ever know. Unless your renting; then good luck.

That's stinks. Maybe consider getting waterproof things..

OR, OP can waterproof everything s/he already own with the Waterproofer! Waterproofs hard-wood floors, tiles, carpets, TVs, and even your games! BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE! Both are a stupid idea.
