hi
seem to have a blockage , toilet to first manhole clear, then it goes under garage and shed (old clay pipe) to last man hole just before septic tank , now I can get rod through all the way from first manhole to second , but water level if you flush and bucket water in doesnt drop in first man hole just fills to top !previously when water level got that high pure weight would flush the pipe,now its not coming out second manhole although the rods do. Seems like where its blocked solids have turned to slurry and caused some sort of suction jam .
is there any chemical solution I can use to clear , loath to get some one in to pressure it as pipes are so old and it could mean serious monies if garage floor etc had to be lifted and new pipe , like I said rod goes all the way through so its only waste slurry stopping it clearing .
all and any sensible advice appreciated . thanks
