My basement floor drain pipe cracked at 2am last Saturday
Old cast iron finally gave way and flooded about 3 inches of water before I got the main shut off. Had to rent a wet vac from Home Depot at midnight and I'm still figuring out how to replace that section myself. Anyone else dealt with unexpected pipe failures in an older home?

Before I got the main shut off" - that's rough. How fast did that water come in? I'm wondering if you had any small cracks or leaks before that you just didn't notice. Mine had some rust stains I ignored for months. Did you see any warning signs?

Oh I missed all the warning signs because I thought that weird damp spot was just my bad aim with the watering can.
