Problem is tree roots in sewer line. $4000-00 repair quote as its 20' down. bit rich for my blood. However there is an inspection access 10 feet away and its easily cleared with the 40' snake I have. Issue is toilet with oval flange is almost impossible to seal with wax. Even after I cobbled 2 rings together. So, the first sign of a backup is water leaking from under toilet [lowest point]. and flooding basement if no-one is there. At the same time it backs up into a bathtub, a much more convenient indicator of a blockage. Any ideas? I do like the "Better than wax" rings if there is something suitable. I install hardwood floors and they are dabomb. Lucky for me the basement is LVP flooring.
