Description
On 9/1/21, Tropical Depression Ida went through Madison, rained very hard for a long time. Around 10PM that night, I went down to basement to check if there is any water in basement or not. I saw the sewer dirty smelly water back flowed through the sink very quickly. I put the stopper in the hole, the force of water pushed it away. I had to put 4 bricks on top of the stopper to stop the back flow of sewer water into basement.
I am reporting this incident so that the Madison Borough can work on the sewer system to prevent this kind of incident happen again in the future.
It was very unhealthy, smelly, dirty sewer came into people's house which should never happen.
Please address this problem and solve this problem, so it will not happen again.
Thanks for understanding.
