The plumber is scheduled for tomorrow, he thinks my high pressure hose just wont make a bend and will rod it out instead. I have made the hydro-flush hose feed into that lateral to 62' from the clean out in the past and now I cannot get past 55' We have to start somewhere because the drain is slow.Good evening @Mossy
Ey everyone
Does your kitchen/utility run to some kind of trap? Grease/ catch basin? If you can't get a camera in because its to narrow/ too clogged/ no access to locate it normally u can get a "biscuit" ... A transponder that you tape to the end of the rod , then get the rod to the problem area and use a locator... Last , worst case scenario u do your best to follow the branch and measure out how much cable you can get in and start diggin. U can use a metal detector with the cable in the line if its shallow enough
Hmmm depends on the psi on that. Using hot water right? Cold water turns grease to a brick in a kitchen lineThe plumber is scheduled for tomorrow, he thinks my high pressure hose just wont make a bend and will rod it out instead.

That looks like a Sparrow Hawk or a Peregrine Falcon, I just cannot tell from the pictures. I am glad it flew off.
Dang that looks goodI made ATK's Better Chicken Marsala for diner tonight and it was awesome. I had to go on a mission to get the Dry Marsala. This morning when I was checking on ingredients I read the label on the bottle of Madeira I have as "Marsala" WRONG. When I went to start dinner I was looking all over for the bottle of Marsala I saw this morning when I realized my mistake. I thought no biggie I will just jump in the car and go to the nearest grocery store and get a bottle, they had none. So I head about 5 miles away to BevMo and they don't have any dry Marsala either. Now I am getting worried and start calling around to all of the big wine retailers in the area and nobody has any. Then one of the clerks at Wine and More suggested I try Sam's Deli, they had one so I drove another 10 miles to get it. Yes it was worth the journey.

1200psi I run 140°F water through the line first and continuously while flushing but the pressure washer is cold, once I have the hose all the way in then I turn everything off and feed a gallon of liquid plumber in and wait 30 minutes turn the hot water back on and let it run a few minutes and then pressure wash coming back out to the clean out and forward again a few times. This has worked well in the past and I had a free flowing drain for a couple of years. The pressure hose is moving easily without resistance until I hit the stop. It sure did not work this time?Hmmm depends on the psi on that. Using hot water right? Cold water turns grease to a brick in a kitchen line
