I'm trying to figure out how this happened. In the early hours of Sunday morning, the toilet clogged in the basement. I plunged it for a bit and the issue was resolved, so I went to bed. I informed dad later that morning about it, and he said he wanted to check the pipe leading out to the street after brunch. Mind you, before this happened we were all using water: washing up in the morning, doing the laundry, turning on the dish washer, and even using that toilet that caused so many problems. No issues whatsoever. Dad went into the meter room ... and did something. I don't know what, but everything's now fucked up. Every time we use water, it starts gushing out of this pipe, which is fortunately in the water pit and over soil. Unfortunately there's been so much the ground is completely saturated and at the moment we have about three inches of standing water. Every four hours after the ground soaks it a bit, we have to decide what major water activity we want: finish the laundry? Wash the dishes? Take a shower? And we have to check it periodically because otherwise toilet paper gets caught in the pipe, the water backs up, and starts pouring out of the shower drain. But seriously, what the hell did he do? It was fine until then!
