The symptoms:
A basement shower has backed up 2 times in the last 6 months and cleared by a plumber 2times in a branch line., most recently last week. Gurgling sounds happened during the backup. I am currently going through a bio-clean treatment after the plumber left last week. I have been using bio-clean for about 6 days now in the branch line. I have not used the (6) fixtures associated with this branch line as i am bio cleaning them.
In the main floor kitchen sink, (one of the 6 fixutres) i started noticing a slight rotten egg smell this morning after 6 days of not using it. It was still there this evening. I poured some water down the drain without looking to see the water level. (i forgot to look).
I wonder if all of these problems could be a symptom of a blocked sol pipe that is used by these 6 fixtures. The flow of water going down these fixtures over the last few months appear to be okay. The flow is usually pretty quick.
I am considering calling them to come to scope the sol pipe(only if you guys recommend it)
Could a blocked sol pipe be responsible for these issues? I am debating whether tho scope the sol pipe or not. Should i get htem to look?
