    I have a 4inch drain line clogged around 8 to 10mtrs down line. Does anyone have or know anyone with a large diameter electric snake that will handle the job? I'm a former plumber and can't get it with my hand twisted one.


    Thanks, Ron

    How about a gallon or two of acid?

    I keep threatening the gf and helper if they don't pick up their hair afterwards I'm going to make them shower outside.

    If you would give me a text @9392228693 , I could put you onto an excellent drain un-clogger that should solve the problem . The length should be good to go.

    Step 1, shot gun shell,, remove the pellets, Step 2 insert shell into breach. Step 3 show the wife how to fire the shot gun.. Step 4 make sure the line is completely full of water.. Step 5 place the end of the barrel into the water.. Step 6 tell the wife to pull the trigger. Step 7 run like hell, it may be messy but it will blow the blockage out..Step 8 buy flowers chocolates,jewelery etc.. as your wife will definitely not be talking to you for many days without some "assurances"..... Simple and it works.. i bet no more hair down the drain..

    Redneck drain declogging? Question, what if your drains are made of pvc? Would that not bust your pipes? Wait wait, surely some idiot has done this and put it on YouTube. Checking.

    Pay someone to dig it up and put in a cleanout?

    They do sell drain screens to fit almost any size drain in Dumaguete, and they are cheap. Some of the hardware stores have them, but the cheapest place I've seen them is Unitop.

    If it's a 4" line try shoving a hose and nozzle down it. When you think it has reached the area of the clog turn on the hose full blast. It's worth a try.

    Have you tried the City Engineer's Office? They will usually have most common tools like that and they will usually rent them to residents.
