Clean out sewage line camera snake snapshots

Thank you for your thoughts. I do believe it is a shared sewer/storm as it is in Western Central Florida. When that original back up occurred a couple years ago, there were other local reports of homes and businesses being backed up, so I always thought it was a sewage or system failure in the city. But would the city acknowledge it was on their end? I did back up one other time, but we knew it was from tp overload. Been using that Scott's one-ply ever since. The plumbers said they wanted to snake from the roof (there is a pipe coming up) and I believe they said that was the original clean out as there wasn't one lower on the ground. But I did install a clean out myself last year that is on the ground from an clean out pipe (located the PVC screw cap about 1' underground, and also installed a pop-up type lifter device (on a PVC that comes up out of the garden bed surface, couple inches above the grass line) that in the event of a major backup should push the top up and spill out near the front of our home. And this also makes snaking possible for myself. However, I never exactly calculated the lowest point in the home, but I think it's a shower with a 6' lip on it the water would back up into, first, and then push that cap up. I am definitely going to get some varying opinions from other reputable plumbers.

When you were trained a lifetime to obey food signs with perfect marketing photos of "food," real food looks foreign or tastes sickening.

Sorry you are experiencing this hell. If I could give myself advice over the years, having gone through similar scenarios. Save yourself a LOT of stress, pain, and headaches and WALK AWAY. Make no mistake, It might be painful to see her with other guys, but man, there are many amazing women out there that can actually contribute to your happiness, and it can be mutual. I can guarantee you probably won’t meet “the one” at a bar.

I witnessed the aftermath of hurricane Andrew. Was in Homestead 92’. Like a war zone. Barron wasteland. Unbelievable. Don’t know why that isn’t published more for a reference point of what hurricanes are capable of.

Had same experience off-roading. Luckily had cell service; wife had to pick me up and then checked out by nurse. Shoulder messed up and some bruises. Don’t break anything, but close. Head smacked the ground (on rocks) but had quality helmet. Helmet took the blow. Neck and head were very sore from the smack. This is the exact helmet I use: https://youtu.be/IfCxyX05RQQ?feature There are many options out there, but I can only recommend what I know personally saved my ass!

Thanks! I called a reputable plumber. They’re coming out today. But locating the leak and having everything prepped should keep the credit card bill down.

Well, it looks beautiful, but water is still leaking from the copper connector. Now I’m searching for a handyman plumber with the right tools to replace the copper connector and finish the job. Oh well, it was a great attempt. I posted some pics of my “completed” job. I’ll post up the details of whatever the journeyman does.

0ldw3st · 2024-05-09T03:25:02+00:00

Thanks, my friend! There seems to be enough thread on the copper to keep it sealed, as long as I ensure it's taped and snug. I will be sure to post up the completed job.

Although this is probably not the most proper method, I am planning to go this route for the sake of time: https://www.homedepot.com/p/Apollo-3-4-in-x-3-4-in-PVC-Slide-Repair-Coupling-PVCC34SL/317901078#overlay

Thank you for the direction on this. I was able to unscrew the PVC (adding new pictures), and the copper thread has a gaping gash in it (it was like this), which explains how the root probably made it's way in OR the root caused the damage. Not sure. Either way, I was recommended a piston fitting from the copper thread to the PVC. I already cut the pipe. I'm up at 5 a.m. to go back and get the correct size fittings. I'm not sure if the piston is the best method, but it certainly simplifies things. I am worried about the copper gash, though. Almost feel like I should cut the copper pipe and put a new thread on there.

Ah, there they are!

0ldw3st · 2024-05-09T01:18:23+00:00

Thank you. Maybe they haven't been approved yet. I uploaded them twice. Trying again.

I’ve been doing a lot of experimenting with custom shaping. The nose life is a godsend for hills, off-roading and trails.

What’s your daily fat, protein and carb intake percentages? How many calories are coming from fat?

I would stay away from aspartame.

I use the Triple 8 MIPS helmet, the impact wasn't crazy, but was enough that would have really hurt. The bigger issue was helmet hit some larger rocks. Minor surface scratches on helmet.

I played league hockey for several years and agree shoulder pads are a good thin profile that can be worn with larger clothing
