Essentially any large flush through my house (washer, shower) has started coming up through my basement drain in the floor. I bought this house two years ago for full price and already am 20k deep in hidden repairs (all from basement flooding, yayy). I can explain if I need to, but I really just don’t have extra funds to put to this after the others. I’m thinking I can’t bathe with more than a gallon of water and not wash dishes or clothing until I can fix it.
Edit: Thank you for all the comments. I’ll hire a plumber.
It’s literally a basement drain just before it exits my house. Everything drains before it hits this point, if that makes any sense? I have no idea of direction, because I have the corner house, but tbh if I pry up the cover somehow it’ll be worth exploring
Edit: that type of snake isn’t even avaliable at the store 2 hours from me. Lol. I am now imaging like 50 people in my town owning one and not sharing and also never using them again
You have to bite the bullet and hire a plumber. I have the exact same issue and until I can afford the $8k upgrade to the sewer line I just pay $300 whenever it gets clogged. Pouring LineX down my drain each year has stopped the clogs for now but my issue is a tree root one. $10k a year in repairs is my average right now and most of it is going to remove overgrown trees.
