How long was the house empty?

When we moved in to our place it was empty for a year. They had all PVC work done a decade earlier, nice job. BUT...the last people who used the toilets (probably the painting crew) ended up leaving...stuff...about 40 feet down the main drain trunk. It flushed that far then started to solidify, then turned to cement sitting in the heat for a year. 4 months of us living there had no problem, but it took 4 months for that small solid mass to accumulate stuff, until it completely clogged. We need someone with a long powered snake to fix it. Once we got that cleared, never had a problem since because the line gets flushed regularly. If you don't add showers and sink usage, then the last dude's poop remains forever.
