I heard of a basement backflow that flooded a basement full of antique furniture. The water was so dirty that it stained and damaged the furniture beyond repair. The owner had spent years collecting those pieces and it was all ruined in a matter of hours. The cost of replacing or restoring them was astronomical.
A homeowner once found that during a basement backflow, snakes came up through the drains. Apparently, they were living in the sewers and the backflow pushed them into the basement. It was a terrifying sight for the homeowner who had to call pest control immediately.
There was a story where a basement backflow happened in a daycare center's basement. The water was contaminated and it spread mold quickly. They had to close down the daycare for months to deal with the cleanup and ensure the safety of the children. Parents were outraged, and the daycare faced a lot of financial and reputational damage.
