This is an awful situation and this is perhaps not really the point, but is it normal for the toilet to overflow just because it's lost power?
only if the pump was currently in use... if someone was showering/shitting a lot etc. the system is only active when water/waste is entering it
it is odd though; because if there was a power cut you would probably stop doing those things....

This is an awful situation and this is perhaps not really the point, but is it normal for the toilet to overflow just because it's lost power? Would this happen if there was a general powercut too, or anything else tripped the fuses? If that's true that was surely an accident waiting to happen... I would put more of the blame on whoever designed the toilet rather than your builder (not that I'm defending him as clearly he's a terrible bastard anyway)
