My sewer backed up the other day and I got it cleaned out using a balloon in the cleanout but would like to snake out the whole line now to make sure it won't happen again. I have a smaller ridgid power auger I bought from home depot that has worked on smaller drains from sinks and tubs but it's only 25 ft long and small diameter. I was looking at getting a bigger auger to reach all the way to the street. They are around 500 bucks for something that looks decent. It would cost about 100 bucks to rent one for a day so I would rather just buy something so I have it. While searching for sewer augers I started reading about water jetting lines. I have a gas pressure washer and found this website http://www.ultimatewasher.com/sewer-jetter-hoses.htm that sells parts to convert your pressure washer into a water jetter. Seems it would only cost about 200 bucks to get a 100 ft hose and a couple of nozzles.
Has anyone done this? If so how did it work? Thanks
