What can I do for my basement (main drain) that's clogged somehow? I've had it snaked several times.?

Question

Whenever any water is ran through the pipes it comes up in the basement. It's been snaked, and while it works for about a month the problem always comes back.

Answer 1

Your pipe may have collapsed and may need to be replaced. Find a plumber that has a mobile pipe cam.

Answer 2

quit spending money on beating a dead horse and get a new line

Answer 3

get a heavy duty plunger and plunge it four or five times

Answer 4

Are you on a septic system or sewer? If your on a tank you maybe due for a pumping.....if not ,it could be tree roots or just something strange...........your snake man should have been able to tell you what he was pulling back out...if it had roots etc. on the cutters.......tough one with out being there.There's one trick way or two for clearing.....but maybe a plumber will share that with you..... it's a little scary....but works. Has to do with acid............bye
