    Not sure if it's a clog
    Hello,

    I live in a two story, 4 bed, 2.5 bath town-home. This morning, I flushed my downstairs toilet, and found it to be clogged. I used a plunger and Drano but to no avail. When I went down to the basement I discovered that my utility sink was full of water then I flushed the toilet again and more water came up the utility sink.

    P.S. I snaked the utility sink pipe and found no clogs. Also the subdivision maintenance was digging something up 4 days ago in front of the house. When I called them and told them about my problem they said it has nothing to do with what they did.

    I hope I hear soon.:confused:

    Sounds like a rat to me. Did they tell you exactly what they were digging up?

    That and likely clogged up your sewer. I think I would be inquiring a little more deeply into the situation. You've described a blockage in your main sewer line.

    Good luck,
    Stew
