Fortunatly it was CLEAN water, but still, what a mess!!!!

All of my towels are soaked from mopping up, and now I have to launder them.

My next door neighbor and I share the same plumbing, and *I* know that the only thing that I have flushed is toilet paper, and I don't use a half a roll each time I'm in there.

*Sigh*

If it isn't one thing, it's something else.

And you started a thread about this? Why?

That water can do so much damage! You'd think in this day and age, they would have perfected a toilet that wouldn't overflow, or had some mechanism to shut itself down when it began to spill over!

Your post reminds me of when the city was blowing out the lines in our neighborhood. There is a manhole in the street in front of our house and at one point when they were working in it my toilet water came shooting out of the toilet. Glad I wasn't sitting on it at the time! .

Exactly the reason why I think having at least a small wet/dry vac is as necessary as having a regular vacuum!  Quick, thorough clean-up of watery messes without adding another chore such as laundering!

A.  Ew.

B.  I would pitch the towels that sopped up toilet water.

C. Ew.

D.  No water from a toilet bowl is *clean*.

E.  Ew.

@Plaid Pants2 I feel your  pain!  Over the years there has been several times my toilet has overflowed.

Just know we understand.

I live in an old house with continual plumbing issues. An overflowing toilet is the only problem that hasn't happened yet (fingers crossed).
