That our house flooded with poo water, and we lost the entire finished basement, and insurance didn't cover it? And I refunded my fleet to pay to fix the foundation? Then my wifey and I rebuilt the basement into one massive playroom for our son (and me, haha).
Well we woke up at 4 am this morning to this:
@CrudeSasquatch taking a poo break. Haha.
Happy Friday and Happy New Years! Haha.
Needless to say that partially refinished basement is gone . . .again. @CrudeSasquatch was here to help me start rescuing what we could at 4 am, thank God.
We figure now, as the foundation was just repaired, that the water must be leaking out of the sewer pipe and into the center of the cinder block wall. Here:
The original assumption was that the wall was degraded here, and that excessive ground saturation was causing seepage through the wall. But $3300 later, we've sealed that wall from the outside.
Anyone with any plumbing/foundation experience have any thoughts?
Right now we're thinking that excessive ground water has backed the septic up enough that there's fluid sitting in the outlet that you see in the above picture, and that said outlet is cracked, and the effluent is flowing down inside the cinder blocks and seeping into the house. Or pouring, haha.
