I may have a different problem than I thought I did. I just checked the water in the basement (which Perrine is absolutely fascinated by, though she did make a miscalculation at one point so that she had to slosh through centimeter-deep water to get out of a location she'd jumped to). There's a second puddle trying to merge with the first, and a third starting. The second one is under the washer/dryer, so it could conceivably be a drain there backing up, but I hadn't used any more water since I first posted about this. (I hope I didn't have anything that'll be hurt by water in the bottom box of the stack there ... and that the double layers of plastic bags are enough to protect the TRS-80s. The boxes of books, fortunately, are on pallets ... I am so not looking forward to the cleanup phase of this.)

One clue was that the water level of the toilet in the basement was normal when I found a stick to reach over the puddle and lift the lid. If the problem was a backed up sewer line causing flushes upstairs to come out in the basement, the bowl should be full to the brim in the basement, right?

The third puddle starts at the wall.

Maybe the basement next door is flooded? My first thought was that a pipe had frozen and burst in the vacant house, but I was trying to figure out which direction the water was moving, when I noticed the water coming from the wall ... on the side where I do have neighbours. Time to throw clothes on and ring their doorbell.

Have I mentioned that I am not enjoying this day?
