When you rent your home, any major problems that arise become the landlord’s problem. The landlord has to fix the leaky pipes or the broken fixtures, and a good landlord will. Of course, not everyone has a good landlord, which is one reason home ownership seems so appealing.

If you own a home, you probably know that it often seems like there is a never-ending list of things that need to be fixed. Fix one thing that something else needs your attention. Being a home owner can be great, but it definitely can also be challenging.

Some home owners have had some particularly terrible disasters happen to them. We’re not necessarily talking about disasters so bad that they would need to find a new place to live, but disasters bad enough to be time consuming and expensive to fix, not to mention very inconvenient in the mean time. We’re talking about disasters bad enough to not just ruin your day but perhaps your entire week or longer.

Scroll down to see some epic problems home owners have encountered. Hopefully nothing like this ever happens to you.
