| finding a cleanout to snake |

I seem to have a clog in the main line, as I have both plunged and used drain opener without success. My tub drains extremely slow, and if there is any water in the tub, the toilet will not drain, just keep filling and overflow unless I stop the water. I tried to run the snake down through the tub overflow, but it wouldn't turn when it hit the next pipe or possibly a trap that bends sharply. It feels like it just hits metal, and I was unable to push it past or turn it. It is a very old house, probably built around 1930 I'm guessing. The bathroom where I am having trouble is fairly close to the front of the house, and about 30-40 feet from the clean out in the front yard. I have read on other sites to look for a "higher" cleanout if the first doesn't work. I haven't been able to locate another one at all and wondering if anyone knows how I might find another entry place. Could there be another under the house? It would be difficult to get under there, so I don't want to just tear into it unless I know its possibly there. The snake I have is probably only 15-20 feet long and won't reach all the way back from the cleanout I know of. Any ideas??? The city already came out and said its not on their end, as no water backing up in the cleanout. I can see the water flowing very slowly when I shine a flashlight in it. So any ideas greatly appreciated. I'm a single Mom and very broke right now, so I HAVE to figure this out myself. Please help!!! |
