Here we go yet again...Just finished breakfast, and a water alarm is going off in the basement. Water was coming up through the floor drain, which means, the sewer main is plugged, or the septic tank is full, or something like evil like that.
I started with drano and about to see if I got lucky, or if I am breaking out my 50' commercial snake. PLEASE drano!!! Bacon grease???? I hope!

It sure could be.
I did 2 loads of laundry and took a shower earlier and it was working ok, so it seems like the grease did something! Just went and got anotehr bottle of drano opener as it is going down, just slow.
One more try and then the snake comes out, and it's a bad ass

Thats is the scary good stuff! Scary when it boils back up out of the drain!! But yeah, awesome stuff.
I did gte it with a big 80 oz bottle of Drano, then flushed with hot water. Easier than messing with the snake! Especially with a wounded hand.
I ALWAYS tell my tenants, NO bacon grease, or any other meat grease that hardens, and this is why. All from 3 slices of bacon.

The hand doesn't belong anywhere near a drain snake.

Mine is not auto feed so you do need a gloved hand...and I learned you do NOT want a latex glove on or it'll twist your wrist quicker than you can say "OUCH".
That was actually a stock photo of one that does have auto feed. They even tell you in the directions, wear gloves but not latex or rubber. I've only had to use that beast once so far, and it paid for itself on that job, at the places I just sold!!
Here's the one I have. Go to 4:30

For all my other adventures, never once did I run afoul of a foaming root.

I used that in my yard drain, I also cut into it to make a dirt trap. I pulled one root out of it that went all the way under my patio.

The more I think about it, the more I think roots are the problem. Because that little bit of grease shouldn't hurt squat!
I have got to make some tree removal a fall project, and cut at least the dead Ash trees that are hanging over my house, or threatening my power lines. I was worried in the last wind storm.
I don't think the sun peaked out once today, and it rained on and off all day.
Back to work tomorrow, with a few projects. Gotta get ready for the home inspector, and change a few furnace filters, etc. A trip to Lowes probably!

Can you get a root blade for the snake?
