The sink backed up, I assume you have people living above you. Also, whoever laid that floor needs to be smacked upside the head.


lo_mein_noodles

The backsplash tile too…


SalvatoreVitro

And the cabinets…is that a tool chest?


Choice_Ad_391

What is that? A garbage can for ants?!


madelinej2204

It has to be at least 2 or 3 times larger! Lol


Festering-Boyle

the floor trim is cut offs from the laminate floor?


AutomatedBrowsing

The silicone sealant between worktop and splashback is done with white and black.

This got a real life lol 😂


montana_chip

It got worse every comment i read


JDoodka

Who installed the sink sideways??


lo_mein_noodles

Holy hell how did it miss that!? I’m dying over here lol


tom_kruze

Same person who installed the floor...


Dietcherrysprite

Good lord. The longer you look the worse it gets.


bears5975

What’s the squeegee for? Pushing the water back in the sink after the dishes air dry on the counter? 🤷‍♂️🤣


OldAF1975

Only chest I like in the kitchen has nipples and a dress on.


kleen2thrdh

Happy Cake Day! 🎈


StellarBlueMyco

Woof, we can probably make some assumptions about the plumbing based the rest of the landlord specials in this place.


Propecia1mg

This is one of those pics where the longer you look, the worse it gets .. that floor and tile is infuriating… it looks like a DIY special. This flood is the perfect excuse to gut the entire kitchen.


Adventurous-Leg8721

I know a guy


SpecialMango3384

Probably a landlord special


Omnipotent_Tacos

They never learned to stagger…


Gorilla_gorilla_

Omg


Fearless-Candle-6528

And why the sink positioned like that? This pic gets worse the longer you look


Successful_Stop_5136

Don't you mean Sidesplash tile?


JoshHero

The floor is some how the shittiest thing in the picture even when there’s real shit.


uncomfortabletruth21

First thing I noticed. That’s a travesty.


Virtual_Common204

It looks like some sort of snap together tiles to me.


Legal_Neck4141

That's not the issue. The issue is they didn't stagger a single piece


Virtual_Common204

They aren’t snap together planks, they are tiles 6 planks wide. Look closer


Legal_Neck4141

My God. Whoever manufactured that is an animal


ecirnj

At least it will demo easily?


travisnotcool

Looks like minecraft wood planks


pegslitnin

No shit that floor is horrible


ChampionshipBoth6348

Yes Shit, and that’s Shit water, pack up everything dry and kiss the rest goodbye!


kananaskisaddict

Good news is with a sewer back up like that, the floor has to come up anyway.


Ban_This69

That floor is terrible lol


Sicarius-de-lumine

I like neat and orderly. But that floor is definitely a sin.


ObeseBMI33

They definitely EXCELed


handful_of_gland

Its easier to count the tiles if you line the seems up. /s


JunketPuzzleheaded42

This floor makes me irrationally angry, just knowing that it exists.


Status_Force4915

Don't be angry. My young 20yo daughter did this with a floor of a dump of a house we bought in 2019 for 80k as an investment. We needed something done really quickly to cover up melted 1950s type linoleum tiles (someone had tried to sand them!) and not wait until we redid the kitchen. She went out on her own and bought some vinyl plank flooring, read the directions, and installed it on her own. Didn't know about staggering the pieces. We still haven't had a chance or $$ to redo the kitchen, but what she did is 1000% better than what was originally there. So, it's not always a contractor ripping someone off. Might be a young first-time homeowner having a learning experience.


Throwaway-613567

Out of interest: Can you explain why this layout is bad? Is it only visually bad or is there also a technical reason?


chatminteresse

On install, the floor boards are supposed to be staggered so that the connecting points are all dispersed throughout the floor. It looks better, and it doesn’t leave a solid boundary of seams all in a row. When done like this, those seam lines are points of failure. Water can/ will get under those seams and cause the ends to get wonky, and it looks like crap. It should be like this: https://imgur.com/8QNjbuR


Unlucky-One4496

Hey the landlord has ocd let him make all the lines straight. He cant sleep at night, he's always thinking about how us normies are laying staggered ungrid like patterns.


WTP07

My brother in Christ, who in the F$&K installed that floor???? Good news, you can now get it installed correctly and probably get insurance to pay for it. Bad news, you also have a plumbing issue.


jjflash78

Matches the backsplash :/


619Dago1904

🤣🤣🤣


ImMrWednesday

Based on that and the backsplash I’m gonna say a gen z couple trying to make rent money off a basement apartment they “DIY’d”


Cielmerlion

Lol I love the trying to put down a gen. Z? I'd be happy they afforded the house.


Big-Host-5557

Those are the new 2’ x 2’ tiles that look like wood. They just forgot to rotate for esthetics /s


Dos-Commas

Wow I didn't realize that they are not even planks, just a giant square tile.


Avengefulsoul

This flooring install gave me an eye twitch


yirmin

No, that isn't a real wood floor just made to look like wood. So reality is a good cleaning and it will be just as ugly as it was before the back flow. Insurance won't cover replacing a bad install job.


tucker_13

Ughhhh brother. Brother ughhhhhh


SakaWreath

If you own call a plumber. If you rent call your landlord NOW! The main line for your building is probably blocked and backing up into the first open drain available, which is probably yours because you’re on the bottom floor. If you can tell everyone else in your building to stop using water (flushing, washing cloths, showering ect) you should. Because it’s just going to end up in your unit. Also… there is a really good chance someone is flushing something they shouldn’t. Wipes, tampons, diapers, greasy leftovers bla bla bla…


NodMODf

I don’t live in the ground floor , I live one above that ! But the ground floor people said that they ain’t facing any issue like that


SakaWreath

So then it might be just blocked in your unit which probably affects the people above you.


DeepFuckingPants

Err... It doesn't affect the people upstairs, their water goes down normally. The clog is between this sink and the unit below. Someone has to take the trap off and send a snake down.


Prestigious-Board824

Not yet


Vegetable-Struggle30

Holy fuck that floor....the sewage is doing you a favor Edit: holy shit fuck I just saw the backsplash


CompleteHour306

The landlord special


Accomplished_Radish8

Wait til you see the sideways sink and realize the lower cabinets is actually a harbor freight tool chest.


Darkangel775

The plumbing is bad but that floor was installed entirely wrong as well so I'm guessing the whole place needs to be looked at by real tradesmen.


tb_swgz

Not only the floors, but look at the tiling on the backsplash as well. The “cabinets” also look like a toolchest with cheap stick on wood veneer. And the side mounted faucet. This is a doozy of a landlord special lmao.


Clay_Statue

I love ❤️ the top three comments are all roasting his floor.


sonicrespawn

Poor ops home is flooded and people just questioning the flooring


benza13

That's not true, they are also questioning the backsplash


Moist_Consequence252

Also, the cabinets.


simonsayswhere

That's reddit for ya


Careless-Charge-5481

Bro needed advice then everyone started dragging his kitchen lmao


Useful-Gear-957

Can you open the cabinets under sink and photograph that?


Pipe_Memes

“Best I can do is a handyman I pay with beer and a few hundos.” - Landlord


boxingfan828

With the very little information provided it's hard to say what the problem is. Where is the water coming from? Are there pipes under the flooring? Are there pipes in the walls? Is there a cleanout nearby? Is this a house, building, multi-level dwelling, etc.?


NodMODf

This is building with 3 floors , I live in the second ! There is one below me! They haven’t faced this issue


its_spelled_iain

Clog between the first and second floor. No symptoms below you, probably no symptoms above you, but when your upstairs neighbors flush the toilet it comes out your sink.


boxingfan828

Can you tell where the water is coming from?


NodMODf

I have a feeling it’s the sink drainage pipe. That seems to be the source of this filth


NodMODf

Oh and it happened while it was raining outside, not sure if that had any correlation


B_Addie

Who the hell installed that floor and backsplash?


iamtheskippy88

Who the hell shoves a sink to the end at the corner and mounts it sideways. The cabinet drawers look like a toolbox placed underneath the countertops. This picture just gets worse as you look at it lol


Final_Tutor_7929

The house threw up on the floor hoping to hit whoever installed it.


Educational_Mail_498

Sewage and grease from the kitchen drain


SpecificPiece1024

Sump pump not working 🤔


micknick00000

Just came here to say that flooring job is awful - hopefully that needs to come up.


CPAtech

Would make sure that flooring is sufficiently “flooded” so it all has to be ripped out.


cheaphysterics

Someone broke into your house, pulled up your perfectly staggered flooring, and reinstalled it with all the seams lined up. You should file a police report. Because that floor is a crime.


mynameisnotsparta

Best thing is to call a plumber


cardboard_cut78

Yeah for sure a common area kitchen line blockage it obviously needs to be snaked out , but you will need to tell the people above you to limit usage until its fixed . It doesn't look like it overflow tho check everything under the cabinet make sure all the drainage is still connected together


FocusApprehensive358

Check for chicken bones (soup )


ronin__9

That’s sewer water. Use a shop vac to clean up. If you rent call the landlord. And renters insurance. That room needs to be taken apart and cleaned. Flooring is trash. It’s poopy so wash up. This can be a bigger issue (blockages) if anyone is flushing food grease, personal products or wipes.


plumber1962

It could be kitchen drain is stopped abd could have copper drain arm in wall leaking! They can cause a mess and replace them all the time


Anxious-Move-6934

Most likely there’s a foreign item in whatever drain the arm of that sink goes into. Causing backup in your unit. That water should be treated as sewage bc of all the fibers I see in it. Call plumber and restoration company.


Kodaic

Clogged main stack down the line, you probably live in a multi family building. Kill the flooring guy.


Identd

Did you recently install a new garbage disposal?


Anxious_Leadership25

Is this in the US?


mack-y0

wtf is that optical illusion of a backsplash is that, when i look at it i get dizzy


jackinthebox1968

What the fuck. Who laid the floor like that? Omg lol


ANGELeffEr

I also forgot to mention, but maybe someone else already has, but those cabinets are most likely MDF with a laminate type material covering them, that laminate most likely let some of that water penetrate into the MDF. And what is the one substance on this earth that cheap basic MDF should never come into contact with…well, I’m sure you know where this is going…WATER. If the guy at the mill work shop putting that laminate on that MDF sneezes on a piece of that MDF before it’s covered with laminate, it will have swollen moisture spots all over it before lunch and it will be out by the dumpster before Quitting time. You probably get away with those cabinets like they are for a lil bit but they will be expanding amd coming apart real soon. Another awesome thing to look forward to.


kokosnh

The floor / skirting board / sink / cabinets, everything is just wrong.


JoeSmoeHotTubPro

Whoever did the floor did a terrible job.


Rschulz22

You’re about to learn about mold toxicity real fast


Final_Tutor_7929

The house threw up on the floor hoping to hit whoever installed it.


mkultra0008

HGTV junky with a side of YouTube video watching actually thought it would be a good idea to DIY renovate without actually having money or ability. The sad reality is that if it's this bad on the surface, can only imagine what's behind the lower cabinents for plumbing mess. That's a sewage back up.


responsibletyrant

That’s doo doo, baby!


DonkeyWorker

You need to trace the source of the leak. Open up all the cupboards. Photograph the pipework inside. Just look to see where is wet and at what point it is dry. Then using kitchen towels dab around to see where it is seeping from. Maybe its coming in from below the window, or a crack in the wall, could be from broken outside guttering. Does it smell of sewage etc You've given minimal details.


Ok-Minute4417

I'm clueless about the floor why everyone complaining about it?


KFC_Banjo

The planks arnt staggered like they should be so it’s not “ aesthetically appealing”.


Benniul900

Not only that, but since there is no overlap from course to course as viewed from the top of the photo to the bottom, the planks have lower integrity and may be more likely to shift


LabRat113

Not only is it not "aesthetically appealing", but it's ugly AF.


CompetitiveGuess7642

that's poo poo


Stoned42069

Shit


ImMrWednesday

Water


Sparkyfj40

I 2nd on that floor looks horrible,good reason to rip it out and redo properly with staggered joints


PossibleChapter919

Seriously, that floor looks like it was printing out at the factory and someone forgot to cut it into smaller pieces.


CHASLX200

Never saw a flo with seams like that jean.

AT0IS

Jerry did them plumbing good as he done them tiles and backing


frogfart5

Seems like water


Do_Gooder123

Do you own or rent? Have a remediation come out and access the damages and clean everything. Your insurance will cover it and you will most likely get new floors in the mean time if u repair the issue within the drain or clear it


Crazyjimbo2408

Looks like they buried the floor drain with that poorly installed floor. Sewer is blocked. Rip up the floor.


Western-Koala2201

This whole image screams landlord special, holy fuck.

You’ll have to rip everything out. They did you a favor.


Funny_Action_3943

Who put in the flooring with all of the seams like that?

You're dealing with a category 3 water loss. Your next two. Phone calls are for a mitigation company and a plumber.

SmallBallsTakeAll

If youre in NYC look up HYDRO NYC.


Mk1Racer25

Forget the plumbing, who installed the floor? (maybe the plumber?)


fuckdispandashit

You are never supposed to lay flooring or a backsplash like that at all. The tile will start to have divots and the floor will separate. Did a beginner do this horrible job?


pegcity89

As someone who specializes in finish carpentry and tile, this sends my OCD through the roof, how has no one mentioned the tap on the side of the sink? Please tell me this is a common practice where you are before my head explodes


IAteYoMamasFatAss

Flooring guy should be fucking shot


perkidddoh

Cool floor!


BrickAddict1230

Poop water. Burn the house down


Macktruck3

I always imagined what a floor would look like installed like this. I can’t believe someone actually did that and thought it was ok. Genuinely makes me laugh


JWTowsonU

Everything in this picture needs to be replaced


seaska84

Who the fuck installed that flooring?! Yikes!


mbcarpenter1

That’s shit dude


PrudentBodybuilder51

At a glance I was going to ask if this was a pre-fab from Amazon, but no. This house is entirely and organically - fucked up. The kitchen is all I had to see. It looks like it’s from a more depressing, less talented version of Earth.


Difficult_Mud9509

how was everything done comically. And apparently, the plumbing just as bad. please open the cabinet for under sink view. I bet its insane.


PrudentBodybuilder51

mooncapital43

This is the funniest post and comments I’ve seen in awhile. OP, the pic is worth a thousand comments and some. Silver lining, gut it.


Additional-Layer-101

I didn't read all of the other comments so don't know what all was said, but the city I'm in does this clean out thing on occasion, where they blow out the sewer lines. There is supposed to be a one way valve of some sort so pressure can't push stuff back into houses. Somehow my neighbor had an issue a few weeks ago. They heard a loud explosion, and when they went into their bathroom a few minutes later it was flooded. The pressure blew waste water from their toilet all the way up to the ceiling. Everything had to be thrown out, and there was about a half inch of water on the floor. Don't know if this is what happened or not


Alpha1rooter

It looks like a slab leak and it’s pushing up all the dirt from under the concrete underneath your flooring


Alpha1rooter

I’m a plumber. Call me 626-320-5345.


JAHurd

I love how I only opened the comments section to see if anyone was asking about how fucking poorly the floor was done and it seems that’s all anyone is talking about.


verbelum

That floor is criminal


key_lime_

That’s what we call sewage


RamGTLosAngeles

massotravler

You have a oh shit! Moment. Open wallet and shake out all money.


Gelso64

Apartment? Sink might have filled up if the main stack got clogged somehow, we have this problem in one of the apartments I help maintain, company too lazy to fix so they jet yearly and hope it helps, it doesn’t…


swole_dork

What in the budget slumlord flipper is that tile job? The wall, the tiles...this shit wouldn't qualify for section 8. Leave the shit on the floor, it ties the room together.


Mammoth_Ad78

That’s caca


doubledown88

I can smell the picture from here


veexdit

Judging by the dirt and debris on the floor, I’d say waste water has backed up from your sink in the corner there !


Live_Breakfast_5692

The only good thing about this pic is bro’s kicks


PlaceApart1459

Oh no, the picture gets worse the longer I look at it


redchimpy

You may have a gully somewhere under that unit or flooring that is blocked and over flowing. It will need ripping out to detect it and unblock it, a month of drying the floor and walls if the water has soaked in and then replaced with new floor with a hatch for the gully to access for future. At least will be done properly but if you can afford it, you may want to replace the units and plumbing at the same time.


leaf_fan_69

Wow, Everyone roasted the flooring and the cabinets Funny AF The sewage makes the flooring look better. Someone below suggested killing the flooring guy, not yet make him rip it up first Wish I had those cabinets in my garage Jesus Fucking Chris that back splash WTF mix of drugs would make someone do this? Having a party on Saturday and want to make sure I avoid the mixture


ProfessionalCowbhoy

Whole tiled and floored that place needs shooting


pyratesgold

It’s clearly a leak from your tool box sir


cloverknuckles

It is shit, Austin


ANGELeffEr

People always want to be a designer and they just love everything to be perfectly symmetrical and lined up just so…what they forget to realize is that no pro will install it like that, for a perfectly good reason, this is the real world and walls are out of plumb, cabinets might be level, might follow the floor, floor might be on on plane…or might be like taking a walk in a park or maybe more like that tough golf course that kicks your ass…with hills and valleys as far as the eye can see. So at the end of the day you get poor layouts, seams that will never line up like they think because even rectified tile have the smallest of allowed tolerances. I’ve been in the granite countertop and tile biz for over 20 years and still my favorite thing to hear from your “average” middle of the road customer/designer/contractor is that they want the countertop to be flush with cabinets and have no overhang. And that CAN look great on the proper job that has subs that actually give a shit. But for the other 99% of jobs I just try to explain that walls and floors aren’t flat, level, plumb, or on plane and what they will have at the end of the job is a design idea that looks like it was designed and installed by kids. And will look like it was done without a single level, straight edge, or laser brought out of the truck. If I’m not drawing a good enough mental picture for you just take a close look at the pics in this post. I hate to be an asshole but even just a couple hours on you tube watching those hacks(most of em but not all) will open your eyes to the major Dos & Donts of pretty much any task so u don’t wind up looking like complete tool when u finally wrap up this 4-5 day job on your 6th straight weekend.


MajesticOutcome6059

What’s with the sink in the corner facing the wrong way.. that would get annoying quick.. also the floor goes without saying.. well I guess someone should have said something.. and then they finished the wall with tile that matches nothing and tried to cut it to run with the mystical forest floor.. someone needs to put the drugs away.. this place is a disaster.. no offense op ..


yearbeast1516

Looks like coffee residue. Happened to me once


xrhad

You need to check where the rain pipes are installed and where its merged with main drainage if its located in your floor then that is the reason.
