Well this is fun.

That sucks....

Main line drain clog. Ground floor flooded. Class 3, so going to have to have professional clean up with the walls opened up and rebuilt.

They got most of the water out last night and the plumber is clearing the clog now. The water reclamation crew will be back to wreck out the walls and start the driers for about five days. Then we rebuild.

Loads of fun.

Oh man, that stinks
Had it at another house but luckily it was just water 1/2 inch, and all we needed was 1,500 sq ft. of new carpet.
I hope you didn't have any guns below the water line...be kind of like a boating accident...

If only he'd had a shotgun. You know, for home defense. Little double-ought buck'd clear that main line right out.

And now for the best part.

The clog is too far down the line to reach with a 125 foot snake. They have to run a camera and then dig. Could cost as much as $4500. Insurance doesn't cover it.

Oh yeah, I have no idea how long it will be before we can use the water inside.

Good luck I know it sucks,I always just say it’s just part of life.

19 days later and the Water Reclamation crew has finally cleared us to start the rebuild.

One bright spot is that while the walls are down @Adamjen15 came in and is doing some inside plumbing improvements for us. Thanks, man!

That sucks! Our main line clogged a couple of years ago but it was not nearly as bad. As luck would have it, our cleanout pipe cap wasn't on and so all the poo water poured out in to our front yard. My best friend had theirs clog on Thanksgiving last year, and it was pretty bad.
