Yuck!

Well, one expensive visit from Roto-Rooter later, things are under control...

Pass !! ^v^ 😳🤣🤣

Can't say as I blame you!

Man, that's effed up.

But gotta love the Sea Hunt ref.

It is de rigeur, I think!

And hell, I was blanking for this week's Kitties anyhow...

My tomcat used to knock stuff into the sump pump crock, causing it to fail.

In this case, it was a combination of mineral buildup and tree roots in a 50 year old sewer line. :)

We used to dump rock salt in the sewer line at my parents' home. Then one day, a rat got in.

Oh, dear. ;^.^

The cat didn't come up to yowl at the kitchen door at dinner time. My brother found the cat staring at the coffee can over the drain pipe opening. When he lifted it, the rat ran along the wall past me. The cat cornered it under an old couch. We dispatched the intruder later.

So you learned that rock salt and iron sewer pipes go together all too well. :D

That will do it. Septic system backups are nasty too - I never had one but the folks next to my place in Parks AZ had it happen a few times... nasty...
Me, I had to deal with the wax seal failing on a toilet a few years back, fun getting that thing off of the floor - someone used caulk to glue it to the floor tile... Scraper and ball peen hammer came in handy to cut thru the caulk...

Uhhgg this happened to me last year!

Tchah!

Uff Da!

Quate.

I'll things that make you say "Oh, c@rp!" for $300, Mayim!

Never rent the bottom apartment.

Heh. Good advice. 'Course, I live in a suburban ranch house...

Had that happen with a local blockage (Aw, Poop!) in the upstairs apartment (I jointly own a two-family, I occupy the first-floor apartment). Went thru the floor and soaked the drywall in my bathroom and even ran into the basement following the pipe chase. (Part Poo)

As part of the drywall repairs, I had maintenance hatches installed in the ceilings directly beaneath the toilets. In the event of a repeat, I can pop the hatch and stick a catch pan in the space to save the drywall.

Sound and statesmanlike policy.

oh my...

Well, things are more or less under control now. :)

well that's a relief...
