@Deleted User snake, air compressor, or leaf blower. How far down is the clog?
Or shop vac
@Deleted User you should check to make sure it's not blocked at the road, back in the late 70s early 80s around here they blocked the run off into the local sewer system because of lead paint and asbestos.
But if they never did that in your area then @Deleted User has the right idea, if that doesn't work you might have to dig it up, the pipe could have collapsed.
@Deleted User you should also check with you city. Some places only allow you to pump to the sewer during the winter. If you need to pump to your lawn get a long plastic hose and punch a few holes along the length to distribute the water over a larger area. I use my bilge water to water my bushes and garden.
I think it’s just leaves. I can see some of them. I am going to pull what I can out and then get one of those rubber attachments for the garden hose that fills up until it’s snug in the drain and flushed the clog out.
I've never tried one of those, but if it's cheaper than renting a snake it would be a good place to start troubleshooting your problem. You'll find out if it's "soft" blockage or if there is something more going on.
If all else fails and you don't want to call a plumber you could go buy 4" corrugated pipe and run it yourself, from your sump to the sewer. Rent a ditch witch which will make it cake digging that trench.
Keeping in mind you have to run the pipe on a slight grade so the water will move away from your foundation.
I'd just like to take this opportunity to remind everyone to call 811 before they dig
Great advice brother
So, back on 03/12/2018, I paid a plumber to clear my laundry room floor drain, because it was backing up. Well, it just started backing up again, only two months later. Not sure what it could be. I put a lint trap on the laundry hose, so it is not like a bunch of lint has been collecting in the pipes - and even if it were, it's only been two months. Normally, it has taken a year or longer before the pipe began backing up again.
Hey can someone send an invite for this server to Martin - IL?
@ThisIsChris ^^
@AltRightMick @RevStench thanks, invite sent
@ThisIsChris Got it, thanks for sending
@martin welcome!

Normally, it has taken a year or longer before the pipe began backing up again. There is also a lint trap on the basin drain. I put a quarter-sized circular piece of rubber on it, to slow the flow of water, but it still backs up. The water that comes does retreat eventualy, but there should be no water coming up again this soon.

Assuming the pipe is under ground it is possible it has been decaying over the years and finally collapsed
@Rick call the plumber again and tell him what happened. Ask him if he'll come out for free
I'm not a plumber, I'm to skinny. Sorry.
But what John said is probably a place to start, they didn't fix your issue.
We need a plumber around these parts
@RevStench No, the dryer has a flexible tube that extends from the from back of the dryer directly outside.

Imagine working in a plywood factory all day
Any factory, really
Factory work looks absolutely brootal
Yeah, that looks like a terrible place to work. I bet it's a lot more automated these days.
The second part of the video shows a modern factory. I was referring to that one. It looks way too monotonous
I got to what looked like the end and turned it off to quick. Still looks like a terrible place to work, I wonder how many sheets they produce a shift.
Factory work is not my thing, I have nothing but respect for the people who do it, I'd go mad. I enjoy the fresh air and freedom swinging a hammer has brought me haha.
On a different note, I found this guy on YouTube a few months ago. He has one series in particular that I'm very interested in. He's building a spec home. Anyone who is at all interested in that sort of thing, I highly recommend this guy. He's very knowledgeable, well spoken, and is always doing interesting things
That's pretty cool, thanks for sharing this.
@John O - bro we can set you up on a nice cheap piece of land up here to build you one of those on!
One of these days
