A GRANDPA is forced to live in a ‘nightmare’ as human faeces and sewage floods his house every time it rains heavily.

Tony Yancouskie, 61, says he is sick of throwing dirty sewage out the window with a cup every time miserable weather batters Auchinleck.

He and his wife Margaret Yancouskie, 60, claim they have been begging for help with their situation for years but ‘nothing has changed’.

The couple who live in an ex council house are blaming a large ‘manhole’ that ‘can’t cope with all the water’ and results in sewage being thrown up through their toilet.

Tony claims he is being told to fork out the cash for a firm to fix the issue with the council offering to pay half.

But the great-grandad can’t afford to foot the bill and doesn’t think he should have to since ‘the problem isn’t with my drains’.

It comes as Scottish Water have blasted jets through the pipes confirming there isn’t a blockage at his property.

Now Tony is demanding bigger drains for Auchinleck to help cope with the weather and for everyone to stop passing the buck’ and help him as he is concerned for his family’s health and safety.

Tony said: “Everytime we get heavy rain the manhole fills up and can’t take the water so it then pushes sewage out our toilet.

“I need to stand with a cup and fling it out the window. This has been a problem for years but nothing has been done about it.

“I told the council and they said if I get a firm out they will pay for half of it but I don’t have that kind of money to get it sorted that way, plus it isn’t my drains that are the problem it is bigger than that.

“It is honestly a nightmare to live with we have human faeces and bits of dirty paper coming out of the toilet and flooding our house.

“This is a health and safety issue I am really concerned.

“If we are out of the house at the caravan or something and the heavy rain comes on like this then we would be coming back to a used covered in dirty sewage it is horrible.

“There is something wrong with the drains. It needs sorted.

“I’m just sick of this I’m fed up with it but I can’t get a firm out to fix it it is too expensive.

“At the end of the day the problem is coming from further down the road not from my property, we need bigger drains in Auchinleck to cope with this weather.”

A Scottish Water spokesperson said :“The recent intense heavy rainfall across many parts of Scotland has impacted surface water drains and sewers. During these severe weatherevents, drains, sewers and water courses may temporarily be unable to cope with the amount of surface water from buildings , footpaths and roadways.

“Our teams have been responding to a higher than normal number of incidents of reported sewer flooding across Scotland and we would like to reassure our customers that we are working hard to ensure we respond to and provide support for anyone affected.

"We are also working closely with local authorities who operate the surface water drains and are responsible for the majority of water courses.

“We are continuing to monitor the weather to ensure we have the appropriate resources in place to respond quickly to any flooding events.
