Last week, I posted about water in basement during that big rainstorm. I took the advice to hang out in the basement during the rain. It seems as though the water is emerging from the drains.

Before I bought the house, I had the main sewer line from the street inspected. It was fine — clear, no cracks, and pitched correctly.

What do I do now? Is this a backup from the street or is something going on with my drains? Should I have my drains roto-rotored (is that the word)? Should I call the city?

Thanks!
