During heavy rains, we have been having sewage backing up into our basement. I suspect the cause may be rain water entering the sewer system through this manhole.
I have a foul sewer smell in my whole townhouse and it’s now reached the upstairs but it’s mainly in the basement. My landlord has sent four sets of plumbers over here who have snaked the drain in the basement and they said that I would not have the sewer smell anymore. But the sewer smell is still here and actually it has sometime someway intensified. The plumbers and the landlord also went next-door to the neighbors to see if the smell was coming from there. What they found was a lot of dog and cat feces and urine next-door and had them clean it up. The neighbors brought out bags and bags of trash and poop. We thought the problem was settled. But it is not. In my area they’ve had to have the sewer lines redone across from me in the complex and I’m thinking that may be happening now over here. The point is the landlord won’t do anything else to get the smell out of my house. And also has offered to let me out of my lease because of the smell. I do not have money to move. And I would like it inspected to know what it is that I need to do to get this rectified in order to stay here for the next year for my lease. Is there any assistance she would be able to give me. My house smells like sewer, but the basement smells super like sewage, I’m not sure what looks like. I don’t know what’s going on. They supposedly filled in all the holes down in the basement on the washer side, but nothing is helping , I’ve got older releasing things down there. I have damp bread. I have air fresheners and baking soda and nothing is working. Could I please have some help thank you.

Soggy grass - pooping water in our backyard.
There appears to be a potential sewage leak reaching the surface in the front yard of a house in the Sherwood Oaks Neighborhood. During dry weather a black liquid is visible in the grass and has run across the sidewalk. The area of the leak is circled in orange on the photo. The address is 1339 East Allendale Drive. The sidewalk is on the north/west side of the street.
Third year in a row (2/8/2018 # 163027, 2/8/2019 #167355), when the fatberg grows just downstream from me, the city delivers hundreds of gallons of sewage into my basement. This year was a new high water: 6-7 inches. It is sewer, not my house backing up... It is because of a flaw in the connections just downstream from me. The city has closed the previous reports as "Resolved" without my consent. This is obviously not resolved. I'd much rather have Bloomington spend money on fixing this, rather than attorney fees, but without quick resolution, this year, I will proceed.
My house is at 2308 E Linden Hill Drive in the Stands. In the open area behind my house, which borders on the Stands Drive there is a manhole labelled "sanitary sewer". Nearby that manhole there are 3 or 4 apparent sink holes (one about 18 inches deep) that seem to have formed recently. They may have no connection with the sewer system, but I suggest that they be checked out to make certain that there is not a leak of some kind, that could cause more damage.

Very strong sewage smell coming from behind the new Hayden Flats apartments. I'm smelling it while on the Rail Trail. It's been happening for at least a week. There is a slow moving stagnant-ish stream there but this is definitely a raw sewage smell.
This is more likely a Watermain problem, but there’s an overflow at this water valve access
