In the last 2 weeks I've fixed my sewer line, replaced the motor on my furnace, replaced the pressure valve on my hot water heater and fixed an electrical problem on my car. No repairmen needed. Who knows what the hell they would of charged me. |

Rented a sewer snake. Man It is kind of fun when it finally pops. I have an access in my yard to the mainline so I get to see it up close. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 49270418 Depends on what part of the country and the access. Cleanout in the yard, like two three hundred bucks. If I gotta get up on your roof and hit it through the vent stack, four to five. Mind you, there's plenty that would do it for less, but they will tell you you need your whole lateral dug up and replaced for 2k+. |
