Tubgirl Monday....Or how my house shat all over the street.

Dave...you're missing out on a golden...er...brown... opportunity here. I tell ya what. You need to drop serious bones on some qual-i-tay video equipment and get this shizznit on tape. Submit it to, like, America's Funniest Home Videos, and you could win 10 large. And not just that--10 big one's that was maybe handled by Bob Sagat's dirty hands. Actually, you could probably just call Sagat and tell him what's going down at Casa Poodom and he'll come to you....or on you. We all saw The Aristocrats.

I DON'T USE THE WET WIPES!

I will not even go into why there are in there, but I am taking them out, they will never be ANYWHERE that someone can get to them, and throw them in a toilet.

There is no smell like a backed up house sewer. It is unique. I have farted sordid and moist eructations of the most potent olfactory impact, leaving people coughing and wincing, but the smell of a backed up sewer reaches a level of corruption that is unique.

Back in the day I worked in a plumbing shop snaking out apartment drains. This was when Kotex was big and the clusters that came out of drains were typically thirty to fifty kotexes meshed in a Gordian knot. In SF the driveways all should have a clean out that leads to a wye in the drain. The first thing we did at any house was to open this and shove a long steel rod down to see if we could knock out the obstruction. Of course the job was awesome for the many brownies.

JFC. :rofl
 
Like the Burt Bacharach song, I said a little prayer for you...and for me.....so this will never happen.

Thing is, both toilets at Casa Bay Arean, are slow, and prone to blockage, and always have been, even tho' the rest of the drains seem to work okay. And yeah, there is a street tree growing by the line. I'll just be in a corner, shaking with fear, after reading OP's wonderfully-stated account.

I wonder how much those video inspections cost anyway? Any BARFers into that shit? Nyuk.

Rent a large snake with a root cutter and snake it out. $50 for four hours.

Really? Huh. I have had the impression from past anecdotes, that many of the sewer lines from my house's era, 1970s, are terra cotta and that you have to be super ginger with 'em lest they break up even worse. Seems like the root cutter would be pretty tough. My impression is that people often leave the lines somewhat damaged but manageable.

In the past, I have flushed that copper stuff down the toilet once a year or so that supposedly discourages whatever roots are already in there.
