Neighbours sewer overflowing. should I worry?
My next door neighbour's sewer at the back of their house appears to be blocked and is overflowing into their garden (smallish terraced houses). This has been going on for a number of months and is fairly gross at this stage. I only noticed by chance from an upstairs window and if I hadn't glanced down into their garden I would be none the wiser.
We don't know them that well but they seem very nice (although obviously not very house proud!) and I would hate to embarrass them or cause any friction. I also strongly believe in live and let live and I reckon they would be the last people to complain about anything on our side of the fence.
So I wouldn't dream of saying it to them, except that I'm a bit concerned that it could be a health issue, especially as the weather gets warmer. We don't have kids but do have a cat who has the run of our house and also likes to explore the whole neighbourhood, as cats do....YUK! (though I haven't actually seen him in there)
Do you think I should be worried?
Any suggestions on to how to broach the delicate issue that their back garden is turning into a lake of sh1t?
