Came home to sewage in the basement, cause 1 foot of broken pipe... Solution $6,000 dollars in labor.
#crappy day (pun intended)

But on the brighter side I received Palama's PIB the same day so seeing rainbows through the cloud.

I feel you pain. At least you don't have to dig up 2 neighbors yards and the street!

No idea why it broke.

The hole ended up being 35 ft long and 10 feet deep. They did have to mechanically brace to walls.

Total bill $7670

Good things Cops make so much money.... wait, FML
