Any suggestions or wise cracks would be appreciated.








Trader suggested having a peek in your crawlspace. If you can't




comfortably get in there, try using a mirror at the opening. You may




be able to locate the cleanout plug by doing so.

I think he'd just rather start yet another thread on the same problem....



Going by what code says, what the city says should be, wouldn't be my

first line of approach. I've yet to see a code that says where exactly

from the house the pipe has to exit. Crap goes in crapper. Follow path of crap,

to extent possible, to where it leaves the house. House has crawlspace,

it's not built on a slab. And typically there is a cleanout, probably

required by code, at last point inside the house perimeter where it leaves.


get the line inspected with a camera. often one of those 99 buck snake and camera deals.

which begs the question why do you want to know?


Know what?
