Glad to have found this forum!
Moved into a new construction house about 18 months ago. A few months after, everything backed up -- water coming up in shower, toilets gurgling as everything drained slowly, etc.
Had a plumber come snake it from outside. Said this is common with new construction as building crews will often flush down rags and anything else they don't want to deal with.
It happened again 2-3 months after, but it resolved itself before a plumber out.
Today, the same thing happened again. Fortunately, it has once again resolved itself.
Any thoughts as to what could be happening? We have a lot of new construction in my area, including something almost directly behind be going up now, and I'm wondering if this might affect my house.
Also curious as to what the best solution is? Should be we somebody to come up and put a camera on the snake to find out if it's us or the city sewer?
Thanks for your help!!
