:screams:

Everything that goes down the drain at my house, is coming back up into the basement. :|

I take a shower, this blast of stink comes out of the basement. :screams:

The city is sending their plumber out to snake the lines, and hopefully take care of this. I don't need to be paying for someone to dig up my yard and replace the line to the main sewer. :wigglypea:

I hope the city takes care of it though. It's their focking tree's that would of caused the problem not mine.

once the gas, water, or sewage lines are "outside" of your house, they're the town's property/responsiblity, no?

I think it varies from city to city, I'm not sure?

I just had some friends go through this. They were told it was their responsibility out to the main.

UPDATE:

The city snaked the drain, and got some tree roots out. It's cleared and I may need to call them every year to do so until it needs replacing. I don't plan on staying in this house forever, so hopefully I can get out before I have to! :hyper:

If it happens again, and the water backs up, make sure it flows into the basement so that you can report it to your homeowners insurer.:hyper: We had the same problem. We had a friendly adjuster come out to the house, and he adjusted the loss to our basement such that it almost paid for the entire outside job.:unsure:
