doomsey and I had someone come out to televise the sewer line. Unfortunately, after he got to a certain point, he couldn't see much because the camera at the end of his scope was under water. He kept pushing it down the line to see if it would come out somewhere and ended up coming up against some kind of blockage. He doesn't know if the line is blocked by a big root from our silver maple or if the sewer line is collapsed. We're thinking that the sewer line might be okay because, when he stuck a big metal rod into the ground to tap on the line, he found it and it sounded hollow; however, we don't know for sure until they can clear out the line enough to look around with the camera. Today, a crew is coming out to jet the line with water. Depending upon what happens, we'll know whether we're dealing with a collapsed line or a blockage. If it's being blocked by a root, the jetting will wash that away. If it doesn't work, it means like the line is collapsed and that we'll definitely have to dig it up.
