Good evening.
Twice now, I've snaked my ~98 year old sewer with a full 100 feet of snake, because I have water backing up in my basement after just a 4-5 minute shower. Both times, the 5/8" auto-feeding snake powered ahead with no issues both times. No roots, no apparent blockages, etc.
Also interesting, is that it doesnt appear that my sewer is much more than 75' in length, yet I pushed 100 feet of snake line. Check out the Seattle DSO Water and Sewer map (attached), my house is the upper right corner of the pic, with the blue pin stuck in it (6020). I assume the snake took a turn into my neighbors sewer, or went down our shared section.
More importantly, any ideas on why my sewer is still backing up?
much appreciated--
