Ok, so first off, thank you to any taking the time to read this post. Now to business:
Some background on my situation:
1. home built in 1976 and to my knowledge pvc piping out to city sewer system
2. has a history of roots cloggin up main drain line
3. I have a hand auger I purchased for $25, grew tired of paying $200 every few months to have a plumber come out and snake the drain
4. said hand auger has worked like a charm each of the three times I've had to use it
5. several days ago used my hand auger and there were some roots I was able to pull backon the end of my snake line
6. this morning I end another small flood in my basement coming up from the floor drain yet again.
7. after my morning routine of dropping kids off at school, went down to work on my recurring problem, and it was gone...
... this is the strange part as once a flood has appeared due to a clog, it has never slowly drained back down on its own.
Should I go ahead and snake the pipe? Has it fixed itself (asking in vane Im sure, but one can hope)? Or is there another possible problem I haven't considered?
Again, thanks to any who are able to help.
