CARL R. GAERTNER, Presiding Judge.
Plaintiffs Ervin and Sarah Rodin appeal from a judgment entered in the Circuit Court of St. Louis County.
Plaintiffs’ home was insured by defendant State Farm Fire & Casualty Company. In May, 1989, roots in the Metropolitan Sewer District’s (MSD) system caused sewage to back up into the homes of the plaintiffs and their neighbor. Ervin Rodin described the eight inches of effluent that entered his basement as an odorous, viscous, black liquid with solid matter floating in it. He further stated that the liquid was definitely not water.
