COLONIA, N.J. -- Some residents in a New Jersey neighborhood say every time it rains their sewer backs up and moves into their basements.

The township blames it on an undersized sewer system, but locals say they have waited too long to have it repaired.

Heavy rainfall puts those who live in a quaint neighborhood in the Colonia section of Woodbridge on edge.

"Every time it rains, we worry about the basement flooding. I am usually down there, watching the sink. We have to make sure it doesn't come up and flood the basement," Matthew Cunha said.

Cunha showed CBS New York what his slop sink will start to look like if he doesn't get to it quickly.
