Comment posted to Removing the plumbing from the top floor by Ron.

I’ve ran into a very similar problem with the plumbing in a house I bought in Feb 2006. I though the problems upstairs were bad but it just got worse!
I have a tenant renting the basement and just 3 months after she moved in the toilate and shower started backing up. There was a terrible smell which is when she realized it it was actually feces and sewage coming up through the plumbing! I called in workers and 10 Grand later There are still issues. She noticed when it rains the main drain in the laundry room has a foul smell which makes the entire basement smell. Shes stuck it out but will be leaving this September due to the odd smells which I completely understand. I am never home so do not notice it, Im actually surprised she stayed this long but think its difficult for a single female to come up with the first and last along with moving costs. I will have more work done once she is gone cause I know I cannot rent to another tenant with things the way they are.
