Think you had it bad, ThinkGood? Imagine having to come home to that odor. Why? Because a clogged outlet pipe from your own house caused your own sewage to back up into your basement every other time you flushed your toilet.
And since such a repair is never cheap, it took a couple of months to scrounge up the money to have the pipe replaced (turned out the final u-bend, or trap, was cracked).
The worst, by far, has to be baby diapers that have been in a covered garbage can, outdoors, in the sun. The fumes can nearly melt the plastic garbage bag!
