We just went through a sewer problem. All of a sudden the toilet did not flush properly. I check the clean-out in the back yard and it was full of "water" so I called Mr. Rooter, and of course it was Sunday Morning. He his a clog in 18 feet and I was happy it was going to be cheap. BUT, he could not get the end down into the city main. There was a further blockage. We had it scoped and sure enough the connection had become broken for whatever reason, possible the numerous small earthquakes we had have in the area. No one will know for sure.

That was the bad news, the worst news is the area where they would have to dig was under my 8x12 shed. I really did not want to empty the shed, and disassemble it just to move it. They ended up retrenching the sewer from the house around the shed To get down to the main sewer they dug a 9 foot deep hole. A new saddle tap, city inspection and fill up the hole. It only cost $1,100 for the new sewer line and $300 worth on new sod. Now we can flush the toilet and take a shower!

Sorry to hear about your problems. For sure call a second company and get a camera down your line and the neighbors line.
