I get to rent a mini excavator tomorrow morning so I can dig up the basement sump line that roto-rooter determined was collapsed, It runs between the house and the creek, and he said it was blocked at 97 feet from the house where we had a big pine tree that fell a few years back. At that time, we replaced the line to the creek with PVC that was then hooked to the clay tile line that went to the house.
I got new gutters over the Summer, and they routed them into this drain line, so I believe that the pine needles coming off the roof from some other trees have completely plugged this line. I have re-routed the gutters downspouts into the yard so it won't happen again.
Sounds like i'll be having some fun this weekend. On a good note, I can use this excavator for a couple other projects around the house as long as I have it back on Monday morning with no more than 8 hours run time.
