Literally.
Our septic tank backed up into the house this weekend (while we were GONE!) The people to pump it are coming in the morning but we spent the past few hours using the wet vac to get as much of it out of our shower and bathroom floor as possible. I feel sick. Ugh.
I guess on a lighter note, we did start christmas decorating when we couldn't handle the smell/grossness anymore...
Re: I'm swimming in crap!!!
That's horrible!!! I hope they come early in the morning so you don't have to deal with the smell all day. We don't have a septic. We never have. I just found out not that long ago what a septic tank is and not everyone is hooked up to the sewer. How dumb am I?
Yay for decorating in your new house!
I have always lived in houses with sewers too. I couln't imagine having to do that, I think I'd be dry heaving the entire time.
The part that bothers me the most was that at closing we were told that it had "just been pumped" recently. The guys here now working on it are saying it has never been pumped. Ugh. Way to go septic inspection guys...now I wonder what the sellers paid them for.
I'm going to have to get in my settlement docs at the office to see. It's not in what I brought home (but I didn't bring it all home because it's safer there). All I know is they are still here working on it (I think they are having to run something through the pipes to make sure they are clear).
Gross!!
Ok, so in my closing docs we have a statement that the sewer had been pumped by the previous owners (so the owners prior to the owners we bought it from). They based the statement on what they were told (they didn't own the house that long so they didn't "need" to pump it if it had been pumped right before they purchased it). Sigh.
Oh well, it was only $350 to have it pumped and the lines cleared so that's good. AND I have a guard dog - my male GSD went CRAZY when those guys got within 5 feet of me.
