Spanish term or phrase: es que no es solamente
Source text:
"Ay, cuando llueve yo sufro porque el agua se mete en mi casa y lo peor **es que no es solamente** agua de lluvia, sino aguas grises y el hedor se queda pegado en la tierra, por eso tengo ese murito en la puerta, para evitar que me inunde toda la casa.”, comenta con un timbre de tristeza"

Translation
“Oh dear, when it rains I feel concerned because water gets in my house, and the worse thing is that it is not only rainwater [what gets in the house?], but it also includes grey water and the bad smell that penetrates in the soil; it is for that reason that I have a small wall on my front door in order to prevent the whole house to get flooded.
