Hello everyone. I'm trying to locate the sewer line clean-out for my home. I've done lots of internet reading & watching video's...and understand that sewer clean-out access can be located inside or outside. I've done some quick looking outside...and haven't found anything yet. Going to look more today...and do some scratching around in case it's gotten covered with dirt/grass/mulch/etc.
Some additional info. I live in a 100+ year old home in Northern, NJ...so who knows if an outside sewer clean-out access was ever installed. It can also get real cold here in the Winter...and I've been reading that sewer clean-out access in colder areas can be located indoors.
In case it helps...I'm including a couple photos of what I have in my basement. I do have a short vertical section of pipe that has a cap on it in my basement...and wasn't sure if this was the sewer clean-out (or if it could be used as a sewer clean-out).
My only concern about using this as a sewer clean-out is...if I rent a drain cleaner/snake from my local Home Depot...the pipe has a least two 90° bends that the snake would need to deal with and wasn't sure if the drain cleaner/snake could deal with this.
Thanks
