Comment on Can I DIY water backwashing through my basement drain?
Bustedknuckles@lemmy.world 1 month agoCan always rent an electric 3/4" snake from a box store for under $50 I think. Make sure you’re close to the feed point or you’ll be wrestling with sewage-soaked coil. I’d go from the floor drain that is backing up if you don’t have a toilet you can pull right next to it. Goal is to feed it to the sewer main. Scoping is the right answer, but a powered snake rental and an hour of dirty work has a chance of giving you some breathing room.

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
