I bought a property from Chase that apparently had a history of drain problems (another question to add to the list when chatting with neighbors before buying).
The property has a lateral line that runs 230 feet to the street (city sewer) with two clean outs along the way.
For the first 10 months I had no issues and then in the last 2 months, I have had the drain back back up twice. The last time I got it pressure jetted and filmed ([ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UA_vhLMbN6U"]see video[/ame]) About 100 feet from the property (just after the second clean out), there are flat spots where water (and hence grease) accumulate causing the line to block.
The person who cleaned the drain suggested pressure jetting the line 2-3 times a year to maintain the line (this could run me $320*3/year) or get the line replaced ($10K estimate for 120 feet of line running under asphalt)
I can't spend 10K at point was looking for other solutions. Is it possible to just periodically (once a month) snake the section of line myself, where the accumulation occurs (using the second clean out), rather than the expensive pressure jet technique (I can afford to buy one Rigid K-400 machine)? Thanks.
