The Grass Is Always Greener ....

The shower was backing up again when I took a shower this evening. The treatment didn't seem to have done much good. I plungered it and it started to drain eventually.

Then toilet drained slowly, too, and i noticed something else: water leaking out around its base.

I decided to go to the basement. I don't know what I expected to find. Occassionally in the past there's been a leak in the basement ceiling after Lut takes a shower, but every time I've checked after one of my own, it's been dry.

Today, I found the basement was flooded. It can't still be wet from the launrdy machine flooding, can it ... ?

No, there's more water than there was Thursday.

And it smells like sewage.

...

The septic tank is being pumped tomorrow.

Yargh, I'm sorry to hear that.

Ouch.

I'm not sure what kind of "hopefully" I want for your situation.

(Note: my father's apartment up north [Overland Park] has given instructions to leave the faucet on a trickle, to prevent pipes from freezing. I hope that isn't what befell the septic system....)
