Question for OT plumbers

tree forty

Plugged main or need the septic tank emptied? Plugged main is like $150 or so. Septic emptied is like $400.

If that is the shite forms smoke in your toilet it most definitely works. It may give you cancer but it works.

Have the city come out first, could be on their end. Then look into a plumber.

Quiet Tiger's advice is the same as mine. I have to do this every three years. Know a guy who works for the city who told us to call them first, because it might be them. They come out within an hour.

Plumber is $175.00. If you call around, you might find different prices and ability. One company in my town has two service vehicles outfitted with portable machines they carry right to the basement drain. Fast and efficient. One time I had another guy do it, and he had to assemble 25 foot sections in the backyard and feed it down to the basement. He then used a hand held fence post drilling looking thing from the backyard, down the steps and into the drain. Took him hours and cost me a lot more.

If you use liquid fire and it doesn’t work, make sure you let the plumber know. That stuff can burn the hell out of you. I don’t recommend it at all

Might have tree roots in your drain, in which case it's a little more complicated than just a clog.
