AboutLeo Luczak Expertise I am a Certified Building Official, and I am certified by the International Conference of of Building Officials as a plans examiner and as a commercial and residential building and plumbing inspector.
Experience I have been the Building Official for a small town in Alaska for the last 14 years. I also spent 20 years working in construction. I don't know that much about wells and septic systems.
its me again. i failed to mention that i am on city sewer line. i have been reading other people's questions and i guess i must consider that my problem with drain back up may be a clog somewhere in the sewer line. if this is so can i rent some type of heavy duty snake to feed down the stack pipe or through a clean out in the basement? my sewer line is probably 100' to street. is this a big job beyond capabilities of a determined do-it-all yourself at minimum cost and little experience kind of guy?
Answer It sounds to me more like a problem with the sewage line than a ventinng problem
You could try running a snake down the line and hoping you have a toothbrush or something else clogging the line. If it gets into the main line to the road a professional is recommended.
