Hello all,
I just discovered this forum because of this problem but this a great resource & I am glad I found it.
Anyway, the reason I am posting is because I discovered that my stack has backed up. More specifically it is the Y at the bottom on the floor. It appears that the cap has been popped off and it it is definately blocked after some tests and the water is coming out the open Y. I was hoping that maybe someone could, well, not really diagnose the problem but point me in the right direction.
A little history if it helps. It is a 100+ yr old, 2 family flat that I had lived in for over ten years and I am now trying to rent out. I have had two backup problems before but both came up through the floor drain. It was rooted the first time (~5-6 yrs ago) and I used a main line clearer the second (~2 yrs).
My question is; does this sound like a lateral line problem or something more serious? I was thinking about calling a plumber but was wondering if I should have it rooted again first.
Thanks in advance for your help
