The toilet is not the culprit here. There's something much worse going on
With everything backing up.
My thoughts exactly!!
Yea it's 10 cent menu night at taco bell
@@gene052286😂❤
Toilets don’t have 20 gallons per minute. That looks like flooding from above
The whole mainline is backed up in a common drain so the water from all the apts connected on the same line above this apt will come up in the lowest point which is the 1st floor shower/ toilet.
I'm amazed at how quiet this person is. I'm screaming inside watching this.
It’s been like 4 hours at this point😂
Might be the insurance company?
Probably in shock still
Lmao.....i think my neighbors mother heatd me gasp!
🍸🍸🍸
And your screaming would help how?? You're irrational ...
The worst part about all of this is that he’s walking barefoot.
I THOUGHT HE WAS WEARING BOOTS NOO
@@RAWRITZCHERRI😂ARE U BLIND
OHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
WTF wearing shoes gonna do? It's just gonna leak through the shoes LMAO
@@dalton191bro forgot waterproof shoes exist
“See kids? This is why you never eat at Taco Bell.”
LOL 😂
I thought that was the whole reason to get flushed.😂😂😂😂
That right there ladies and gentlemen is a living nightmare.
Literally hell on earth
@@Pink_celeb420hell has lots of water lol
I hope there's someone in the city that is responsible for his damages. His whole apartment is destroyed.
@@blackleague212bigly amounts of water. And that apartment is the wettest I've ever seen from the standpoint of water. 😂 If you don't get the joke just go to Google and enter "wet from the standpoint of water." Maybe we should all go to her house and throw paper towels at her.
Damme that's sad
Bro’s home is flooded with shitwater and he just pacing around in it so calmly 💀
my exact thought! crzy
That’s the look of defeat. He’s been defeated and just gave in.. trust me it’s not calm.

@@nancy-ann-ciancee5127exactly it just hasn't hit him yet!
Cuz Canadian
My boy got that indoor swimming pool
indoor poo 💩 swimming pool 🤢🤮
Basicly the ittawa river
You see that crap in the water???
Indoor shitting pool
nikocado avocados bathroom:
This is a much larger issue than just your toilet! It's that entire building!
Exactly
It's the entire street
Oh yeah, we've had an apartment in my building with the same problem.
Yesss it’s toiletssss or a cesspool issue 🤢🤢🤮🤮🤮
@JayCruz73 - My husband just retired, he was an industrial plumber/pipe fitter and he just said the same as you almost word for word. LoL What a nightmare, I can’t even imagine! 😢
My anxiety went from 0-1000 so quickly that I would just grab my important papers and just abandon the whole apartment.
Same here!!!!!!!!!!❤
Me too! This is hell on earth.
Omg agreed. I couldn't recover to live there again. I'm VERY VERY UNCOMFORTABLE.. ..... imagine , anybody w piping around , what they flushed, filling your home. I'd die. .... that's sewage from any shared piping so gross
Maybe a few clothes… this why I always have a bag of just in case clothes
Yess imagine the smell
Nobody is gonna talk about how she is barefoot?
He ate the whole Taco Bell menu
Nahhh that's a pool water😭
To the guy recording this, I’m sorry that happened to you but if you had any scratches or any open wounds at all on you feet and ankles, you can get deathly Ill walking around in that! If you start to feel sick, you need to get to the emergency room asap!
Dito! Couldn't have said it better my self!! So sorry for this tragedy!!!!!
Thats a ladies foot !
only if he's been using hand sanitizer ,mouth wash and taken antibiotics.
as if having tennis shoes on would protect you from this amount of sewage
How kind of you❤❤. I thought how stupid he is but u saw the humane side
Omg😮I would be livid, disgusted and stressed tf out. I'm sorry this happened to you😢
I now right the flood is going crazy 😧
I know exactly what you mean I would be extremely stressed and sad
Same..this is horrible and downright disgusting 💯
Me: Yeah Hi boss, I won't be able to come to work ever again. My whole life and everything I owned just got flushed away.
This guy: Hey boss, I might be a couple minutes late this morning, maintenance is coming...I just need to pop my shoes in a dryer and find my work badge. Thx.
Right, I think he's used to it look like some of it been there before the flood
That one person that took taco bell in my bathroom: 🫢😳
How do you just walk around calmly while your apartment is flooding and being damaged to hell, I could not
That ain't just the toilet overflow...that's the whole block overflow
SMDH DOING THIS FOR WAT? FOR VIEWS 😢😢😢😢 DAME SHAME😂😢😢😢😢
That's what I'm here to say. That isn't just his toilet overflowing, that's the whole ass city backfilling his pipes. There's probably nothing that he can do about this. It's a building problem.
I wonder if Apparments should install shutoffs on outflow pipes just in case of a flood event like this couldn't use drainage of course but would save a lot of damage.But then again this is a rare event
Big caca 🤑😭🔥💀
The silence from this person is deafening. Not even a word uttered. I hope this person is alright!! 😭
in shock most likely.
Uhm, that’s what a silent prayer be like 🙄
@@cathyt144soft loo
😂
I think yelling the word "sh*t" a few times would be appropriate in this situation!
The original of skibidi toilet 😂😂😂😂
The fact he didnt leave the house once it started cuz theres poop😂
Bro just casually walking around barefoot in toxic waste like its a Tuesday stroll through the park. 😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I thought the same thing
Time for a nap on the couch
I definitely rewinded to be sure thays what i saw.
Looks like fun tho
This would personally make me cry. It’s just too stressful and disgusting not to.
I almost cried watching this! My chest literally aches from the anxiety i felt..... I've recently had a water line break in my house and it was a nightmare. I couldnt imagine sewage.🤮 i feel so sorry for this person AND THE adjoining apartments!!
That is literal doo doo 💩
Omg such a nightmare!! What do you even do at that point? Just see what can maybe be salvaged? What about your house?!?
Repeater. Repeater. Repeat...
I be sick to my stomach if I come home from work late at night and come home to see this. Yup I be crying too lol 😂
What did shrek do this ti-
Tails:sonic did u have taco bell again
Sonic:uhm yea...
Tails:SONIC U HAVE FLOODED THE WHOLE ENTIRE HOUSE
At that level, the state would have to provide for the damages. That’s from the main sewage line. You as a home owner have no control over that
It’s in Canada, we don’t have states but provinces. Just to clarify
Would they pay for the damages of the peoples belongings too?
@@Jijohann yeah yeah
It's an apt not a house
Thx for explaining what's going on. I had a toilet plug up more than once (thx to my 16-year-old grandson living with me), and it never flowed like that! There was time to turn the water off behind the toilet before the water hit the floor.
That’s not the toilet. That’s the entire sewer exit line. It’s coming up through the sinks and the tub too. Likely the city’s fault.
Its likely from a bad flood outside.
Coming up like that no doubt main has to be backup big time. That is some serious flow.
buildings are supposed to have a backflow valve so that doesn't happens. the buildings owners problem
Yep are a vac truck running very high psi though the sewer main are one hell of a sewer stop 😮
Wonder if the owner can replace any memorable items like baby books etc😢
“Neighbors from Ohio had explosive watery diarrhea it’s nothing to worry about” 💀💀💀💀
Pov: you dont have a plunger to unclog a toilrt
This is why I keep my emergency documents, pictures, jewelry, clothes, ready packed not on the floor.
Thanks for the tip
This really only matters if you live in an apartment though my room is on the top floor in my house, so this will never happen to me
No one keeps any of that on the floor even in a normal situation wtf?
And lol imagine living in an apartment 😂😂
@@cateatfood6634😂😂😂😂😂😂
Even the plumber would say
Take care
😂😂😂😂😂
🤣 🤣
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
"kids this is a reason why you shouldn't eat taco bell everyday"
Someone must have ate Taco Bell
As a plumber, I can only imagine how you feel..my heart goes out to you.
Have you seen a problem that bad before?
I’ve been a local 469 union plumber for the past 9 years and I’ve never seen anything that bad and I feel so sorry for the families
@@andresvega6733what would even make it do that?
It’s gotta be happening in more apartments than just his at that point. Building is going to be destroyed. Hopefully they have insurance.
What could have caused this? Excessive rainwater?
I can literally hear management at apartment complex saying “you will need to fill out a work order. “
I would've lost it that day!!! 😤😤😤
2 work orders because this was a bigger issue. lol
I would have walked in that office with buckets of that $#!T and start throwing it at them or dumping it on their heads.
Here's your MF work order!! Get up off your @$$ and get to work B!TC#.
😂😂😅
Then they'll find a way to blame the tenant and hold them responsible for all repairs.
Sewer line spilled the beans
The flood when they see an unassimilated planet:
Meanwhile the landlord: "Rent is due, also your deposit will be taken to fix this damage"
😂😂
well he did flush a firecracker down the tolet
I live in an apartment and i can tell you have as well i hate it i need a house 😂
Apartment company be like
“Apologies for the inconvenience and we understand your frustration. I’ll submit a ticket to have this resolved as soon as possible”
Exactly
😂😂😂😂 SAD Reality THO😢😢
SUE, REPLACE furniture, repair/replace water damaged stuff...wait better idea, move them in to new appt, with me furniture, clothes, etc that was ruined,e t.
Oh no. This is when the city takes responsibility. This is a backed up main NO doubt.
That's why you get renters insurance
When I don't poop for 99 days 💀💀💀
I guess someone ate Taco Bell and flooded the whole sewer
EVERYTHING has to be thrown out!!! NOTHING is salvageable
Very true, I had this happen during a hurricane, plus flooding, everything had to go except stuff high up on shelves.
😮🤢🤮💩🤮🤮
Hi can v talk plz 🙏
My friend toilet overflowed. In a state of panic she tried to use a plunger to stop the flow then the sewage started coming up from the tub. She was barefoot the entire time. 3 days later, she started feeling extremely ill. I pray that this person didn't fall ill.
What was the end result to her illness? What exactly did she contract
Did she end up okay??
@@Ena48145she died
If you have don’t particularly own rain boots or boots for this occasion what do you do?
@@bibsbeezASMR9mm to the dome for God's sake 😂
Every ones baddest nightmare be like:toilet floods ur house
Dude open the door and let it drain out….stop walking around in it like it’s something to admire.
"Sorry sir, we don't cover floods from sewage backup, natural disasters, or any other water-related causes." - Insurance Company
Renters insurance sir
All these insurance companies are a bunch of scams because they don't cover anything. Idk what's the point of paying for insurance when, in the end, you are stuck with the problem to solve on your own.
Toilet water doesn't come from the sewers. Toilet water is clean
@@heavyweighttrucker4089🤣 🤣 🤣 I am 51 years old, lived in 26 states. And never had to have renters insurance. All forms of insurance is a waste of money.
Especially travelers insurance
You just move out at that point and call the insurance company & contact a lawyer to sue the building & municipality.
Move out and take what????😢
I was thinking the same 😮
@@sharonyates6238Nothing 😢
@@sharonyates6238you can move out without taking stuff 😂
🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
‘Dude it was just a prank’ *the prank:*
The toilet can't hold the person's diarrhea so he vomits.
Better call the city. It's beyond a plumbing repair at this point.
*dials city* 📞 hello city? I need help
Really? I thought a couple of strips from Mr. Plug ASS "FLEX SEAL" will do the trick
Who calls the city for a repair on private property?
@@MikeyD0I think he was implying that it was city infrastructure that failed off property that resulted in the water pressure being off or something
@@MikeyD0because it’s not caused by the plumbing system in the house. There is no mechanism/route for your wastewater lines to back up like that, with pressure enough to bubble back into the house. For this to be happening it has to be a problem with the city sewer system and that’s why the commenter said to call the city, because they actually understand a little about plumbing
This is DEFINITELY not a toilet issue. This has to be a sewer main clog.
You realize the main piping for sewers are like 60 inches in circumference, I doubt that’s clogged. Probably his drain that runs to the main
I had this issue (not on this scale thankfully)and it was the sewer pipe that tree roots had grown through. It was on my property so my responsibility.
Yep
@@itsbno3597this is backflow pretty sure something is installed incorrectly with his whole system
Why is there such a powerful flow?!
It turned to look like it could be a flood and not a toilet overflowing
Origin of skibidi toilet
how do skibidi toilet haters see skibidi toilet:
They need to make backflow valves mandatory
With that much pressure surely it will burst
A swing check valve. The reverse pressure will swing it closed against the valve seat. More pressue equal tighter seal
Bro .. helllllll naw im out id rather be homless than live in that shhh
Back flow valve is on supply not waste
He can’t just turn of his water?
Note to self….. never ever rent a basement apartment
To units can do this too
Not a basement apartment if you look at the window😊
@@tammyodell347yeah not sure what made this genius think it was a basement 🤡🤡🤡🤡

Learned your lesson kids? Never eat too much taco bell.
Time to walk, and get another place, take showers, save your sanity while the city deals with their mess. I am very sorry you had this happen.
Easier said than done…if this would’ve happened to me when I was younger with my own place I would’ve been homeless for a minute lol
Landlord: Rent is still late on the third.
Work: "We still have you scheduled to work a double shift today. You'll need the extra money."
@@dritemolawzbks8574you guys getting paid for those extra hours?
🤣🤣🤣
And it's just been increased
the sad part is this is not far from the truth😢
Bro booked titanic💀
Me when I eat like 50 tacos and Taco Bell want to eat 58 burritos at Taco Bell and I eat 5600 Mountain Dew’s
When youre fed up with life and you think things cant get any worse, just remember you could be this guy
U been there? Respect 👍
well said
True.
A. Don’t live downstairs at anytime in your life!
B. City Sewer manhole is backing up into your place.
C. City will clean it up,
Pay for your damages.
They pay hotel and apartment somewhere until you can move back in.
D. If it’s a house you own , get an attorney it will be worth it.
E. City is totally at FAULT for not maintaining there city line ( manholes)
I would literally never move back into that place if it was as severe as this
I wouldn’t want to move back in.
If it’s from the city line then every bathroom and every building will be doing the same.
The city will find some way to screw you over!
@@Oksure420unless it's the lowest sewer service and or obviously don't have a stopper to prevent the water from backing up the line
Skibidi toilet is coming?👇
ATLEAST THEY WONT GO THIRSTY
You don’t need a plumber, you need FEMA.
Fema don't help much
See maui
And Katrina
Nothing the government can't make worse.
This is in Canada though
They would make it worse !!
That has nothing to do with the toilet or bad plumbing in the apt. That’s called a back surge. It’s the cities sewage system backing up and bursting through any open pipes. That’s why it’s both sinks, tub and toilet overflowing 🤮
so is the city liable for all damages ?
@@user-kg7zr3yl3n that’s what you would think! But no, you cannot. In most cities they have a policy specifically making them not liable for this. You have to have a special insurance for this event, privately, if you want protection against this.
Does that mean this is happening to multiple homes at once?
@@Lc-Lc- possible. Depends on how bad the back up is
Yeah, you can see the kitchen sink is full to the brim as well.
I don't care what you had for dinner, there's no way it's doing _that_ to your home.
Every Taco Bell employee experience
This is every plumber dream, he can charge thousands upon thousands for this job, he can retire after this😂
My heart goes out to this person 😢
😢😢😢
the landlord too
@@Thebestcoldkillayou’re probably the landlord
Y he couldn't have turned the water off by using the leveler by toilet but let the water run. Also if he would closed the thing in the top of his toilet no more flooding
Imagine working a 12 hour shift and coming home to this, I would have a mental breakdown 😑
And thats probably how it happened too

The city needs to be sued.
The city isn't responsible for the plumbing of a private building
Unless the clog is on the city side.
Or the guy flushed something he shouldn't have... Children shouldn't be on the internet
Lol, there's no proof to even assume who's at fault here! That's what's wrong with one sided videos we can't help but jump to conclusions. I do it to often
@@I-R_kratostheres nothing you could flush that would cause this. This is an internal issue. Try trolling less like a t*rd
The landlord be like, "The rent is still due. Pay up. NOW!" 😂🤣😅
Mmmhmmm
NEOW 😂😂😂😂
Landlords like that can rot in hell
Repairs dont pay it self 😅
Repairs don't pay for themselves!
that's a Refund from the Sewage Dept. for over payment
Serves a landlord right.
This is why we add back flow prevention boxes to sewer lines, and this wouldn’t have happened. Prevention is the key.
Those backwater valves can cause problems too, we only suggest them after a city main floods a house.
Ahh.. I'm sitting her wondering how the toilet water is pressurized coming back out?? She wondering how this guy is barefoot walking around in the whole towns bowel movement/ vomit/ tampax/ the occasional dead fish/ hamster.

This happened to friends of mine, the insurance company reacted really quickly to clean and dry everything. They ended up putting them in a hotel, then a rental house while repairs were done. Repairs took nearly 6 months, but by he end most the house was new under insurance dollars!
Still. F THAT.
So as cheaply as possible and he ended up having premium increases?
Which company
This is an apartment though.....hope they have renters insurance!
The mold tho you would have to strip the whole thing bare
