If you cannot locate drain pipes outside of home to unclog drains or pipes, are there other methods that can be used to unclog pipes? If so, what are they? Thanks, Desperate

Many times the toilet is removed and augered from there. However, look outside the house wall where the drain pipe leaves, the cleanout is usually there.

Every house has a cleanout. By code we place them within 18" of the footer and bring them up to grade. It you don't want to pull the toilet you can snake from a roof vent. Are you on city sewer? Good luck, Tom
