Sewage problems

Now I, dear friends, will tell you how difficult it is to live with a clogged sewer.

Last night there were no signs of trouble: a hurricane wind blew calmly and poured rain all around, the trees swayed back and forth, and in general it was very pleasant not to leave the house. In between the rain squalls, I decided to go out to stretch my legs a little and suddenly heard a suspicious noise coming from the boiler room (the ventilation window was open). Berenice had just finished washing, I waited for her, and we decided to see what was happening there.

The end of the world took place there. It was all filled with water. Just EVERYTHING - and it was not even clear where it came from. But then one of our guys upstairs opened the tap, and we were able to see with our own eyes the miracle of the flow of sewer water.

I won’t draw a sewer diagram, of course; I’ll explain briefly: at the very bottom of the pipe, already behind the house, a blockage formed, because there was water in it - and as soon as the column exceeded a certain level, it began to flow out of the adjacent pipe located in the boiler room. Then began the rags, buckets, even more rags and the discharge of natural needs exclusively on the street.

This morning the repairman came and cleared the blockage - and we all breathed a sigh of relief. Comforts in the home, after all, are a great thing.
