Black Water

AKA: poopy water, reak-fest, feces where you don’t want it to be…

is in my basement.

  Yup, a sewage drain backed up this week and I found the foul smelling loveliness on my way to the nursery one night.  No problemo though, thanks to a pro neighbor and a call to our insurance… now it’s been gutted, dried, sanitized and looks like this:

basement flood damage 001       basement flood damage 008 

Not pretty…but definitely no longer a poop fest.

 basement flood damage 005

The culprit is under this toilet. Dang this drain and sewage line.

Turns out it might actually be a huge blessing, as it pretty much just flooded the part of the basement that we were going to renovate when we had the money anyways…and if the claim goes well and the drain gets roto-rutored alright, it might contribute enough to do some of the renovating we wanted to do anyways!  I might just love the sweeter side of this black water…one day….but probably not today.
