Possible crack in sewer line	Mark128	05/06/03
I recently had a blocked sewer line so I rented a pipe snake to break up the blockage. Snake would only run about halfway out of the house due to a bend and cleanout half way. My concern now is that I have a sewer like smell as I come in to my family room and I am concerned that maybe the snake cracked the pipe. How can I check for this without cutting up the floor. (NOTE: The blockage was removed about a month ago and have not had a problem until today)

Hi Mark; Another possibility is that the snake cutters could have caught a root growing between the pipe connections that it did not grind up, instead the cutter head pulled the root into the pipe and dammaged the pipe its self and along with the root it pulled dirt into the drain pipe causing a clog to back up the sewer line. Another view point. Good luck, Van
