It started when masons installed a new concrete stairway with a landing that contained a plastic drain. An already cracked plastic pipe fell into the pipe. Part of that plastic eventually lodged deep down in the sewer line. With shit, food, and tissue paper, it formed a restriction; then a dam.
They tried a power snake from many directions including the roof. No solution. Then a fiber optic camera. It identified the blockage. They tried a high pressure water jet. That cleaned the plastic enough that a fiber optic camera could identify the plastic.
Next came a jack hammer to rip up the concrete floor to install a new sewer pipe. That was $2500 just for the plumber alone. Actually a bargain.
Now think about what you have flushed down there. And who pays for the plumber.
