Hi,

the home sewage is backedup. Discovered the problem in the basement toilet. It was bubbling intermittently. The laundry room that is adjacent to the bathroom had water backing out of the floor drain.

I got the plumber in and he could not find my outside cleanout. There was no inside cleanout to be found. He had to rod through the toilet. At 73 feet he found water logging but could not proceed with his rodder. The problem still remains. Record high rains for the last 48 hours has not helped. I have plugged the toilet and the drain.

The plumber is saying without the cleanout he cannot proceed and we should dig all 6000 dollars worth.

Are there any options? Can I do this myself?

I might have found a cleanout in the home. Does this look like a cleanout?
