1. ohhh..do I want to ask?

Broken or plugged line?

12. Tree roots? Clay tile?

We used to have that happen a lot in the winter at our previous house. DH got pretty adept at running that machine with the big cutter on it that cuts out the roots. We finally began using some type of root killer tablets formulated for septics and sewer lines..never had a problem after that.

I know how much it sucks having a mess at the holidays, sorry you're having to deal with that.

13. It's a neighborhood problem

I half wonder if it isn't just a high water table. :shrug:

14. ahhh..I've heard that can happen.

My friend in KY has gone through that especially when there was significant rain. Her Dh installed some kind of back flow valve that prevents anything from coming back into the house.
