"Walked in boots through the living room": the house in Murashi has turned into a branch of Venice
Residents of house No. 29 on Lenin Street in Murashi have already gotten used to the fact that spring is not a time for blooming, but a time for flooding. It all started a few years ago when a store from a federal chain was built just 20 meters from their two-story building. Since then, the melting snow has consistently chosen their yard and basement as a parking spot.
This season, nature has outdone itself: the water level rose by 10 centimeters. Residents on the first floor moved around their rooms as if they were in shallow water — exclusively in rubber boots. Their attempts to pump out the water were unsuccessful: the floors were already damaged in places, the wallpaper had peeled away from the walls, and black mold appeared in some areas due to constant dampness.
When patience ran out, people turned to the People's Front. Activists quickly found the root of the problem — a pipe in the parking lot of the new store. It had frozen and blocked the normal drainage of water. Local authorities tried to handle it on their own, but the pump couldn't withstand the pressure of the flow. They had to urgently call a team from Kirov.
The specialists flushed the drainage pipe and installed a metal cable with a heating element inside. They promise that there will be no more flooding now. However, this can only be verified next spring — the seasonal "testing" has been postponed for a year.
In the meantime, residents have the opportunity to claim the amount of damage from the owner of the pipe. To do this, they need to draft reports, contact a specialized organization for damage assessment, and send a claim to the owner — sometimes this is enough for compensation to be paid voluntarily. If that doesn't help, then they need to go to court. In some cases, the prosecutor's office may file a lawsuit in the interests of the residents. The People's Front will provide residents with advisory assistance on this matter.
For now, residents have to wait for the next thaw — hoping that the cable won't fail and that the boots can finally be put away in the closet.
