Last week, my wife called me at work and said the downstairs bathroom
floor was wet. She could not find anything leaking. Turns out, my
main drain backed up after doing a load of wash. It filled the
shower pan and overflowed just a bit, then drained down so she did
not see the cause readily.

At least that is not as bad as the contractor building a garage for the
home behind mine. He came to the door and told me not to flush the toilet
any more as it was filling his ditch for the footings. It seems he broke
though my sewer that went under the home behind me. My home was 150 years
old and the home behind me had at one time been part of the back yard of my
home. In any case he called the police when I told him I would do no such
thing and that he would have to repair my plumbing and figure out what to do
at his end and his expense. In any case the police gave him an attitude
adjustment and it all worked out.
