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 might be a few hundred to scope the main sewer line but you could probably find promos to lower the cost. There’s a “one stop shop” in my area that’s advertising scopes for $30, but they do plumbing, electrical, and HVAC and I haven’t heard of them doing any of those particularly well. If you find a company like that just be ready to put up with their sales pitch and then keep the video to run it by a different plumber for a dimebag or a case of beer or maybe even some real money.
Do you have many big trees on the property? That’s usually the biggest cause for backups like what you’re describing: roots sneak into the sewer line, then keep growing/expanding and catching all the toilet paper flowing by and then just turns into this big dumb obstruction that constipates the whole line
Unfortunately I’m very rural,so I can’t shop around. I live in a city, but it’s a joke to call it that. A competing service would come from two hours drive away, to put it in perspective.
The only tree is not really in a position to cause the issue, and it’s also the wrong type. It’s at least 70 years old and a conifer, but I’ll check when I find a plumber anyway thank you
