PEAK PUTTERS

Came downstairs to a shower that was overflowing last night. It will drain but not until after a about 4 hours. IF you run water upstairs it all drains there fine but backs up somewhere near the shower in the basement.

I've tried it all. I let the water run down, I plunged, and added 2 bottles Drano power gel. Used a plumbing snake and then dragged my fiance's dad's power rodder up to the roof and ran it all the way down the cleanout. Pulled some debris after a few tries and ran the rodder line as far as it would go. Called the city to make sure its nothing on their end and that's fine.

So who would you guys recommend I call?

Called Actionman Plumbing, they referred me to Reliable Rooter. First off, the guy helped me find a second cleanout in my basement (I didn't even know it was there) behind a hidden panel. Had I known, I might have been able to get it myself instead of dropping my auger line from the roof cleanout.

They ran the rooter all the way out to the Main from that cleanout and all the drains work. I paid a total of 125 bucks. I learned a lot. Not too bad for a Saturday.

Edit: Some extra info. Reliable Rooter will come out and redo the line if it backs up within a month of coming out. Also if you call Clog Busters they oftentimes contract out their work to Reliable but you'll pay 30 bucks more.

sounds pretty reasonable, what a nightmare

I'm with Chris....sounds pretty reasonable for a Saturday call out! Glad you got it fixed quickly.
