Had bathroom remodel/fixed due to valve in shower leaking… well now its been done for a week and both toilets arent flushing, and takes 1-2 hrs to drain bowls… snake wont touch it.
Before roto rooter gets here can i put on the red tip and yellow noodle and shoot it in the cleanout???
Its not an experiment. Plumbing companies use this method all the time (not the red tip of course) Seriously, if you have a pressure washer and long enough hose just do it with the right tip.
A lot of plumbers just use a regular sweeper nozzle and a garden hose. I had a bad clog over the winter and it worked like a charm. We couldn’t even use the shower because the water would back up that fast. I’m on a septic but I don’t see why it wouldn’t work the same. Mine was clogged right near the baffle because I could feel the nozzle hitting. It’s worth a shot.
You dont need to know anything about plumbing, get a sewer/drain tip, fish your hose until you feel the blockage, then pull your trigger. There is an extremely small hole at the tip to break through the blockage and once you are through it the back facing holes blast the rest of the blockage away. It works much better than a mechanical rooter.
Do you have a leaf blower? Try that and video it. Be sure to shove the leaf blower nozzle as far down the toilet as you can get before hitting the trigger.
