    Yes you can rent them.

    Guess we should have asked if you were on city or septic earlier. Have you checked to make sure your septic isn't overfull. Try this. Fill your washing machine to the largest load setting. Then kick it to the spin cycle(causing washer to drain) while it is draining, flush both toilets at the same time(better to have two people handy , unless you have really long arms, or are really fast,lol) See if you don't get water backing up in either a shower, or any drain at the lowest point.

    Hey Breed...

    Need to test that it is the main drain first. Need to investigate the layout under house a bit better... then we can decide if need the large cable machine.

    Do you know where the main drain clenaout to the sewer main is..?

    You guys are to fast for me. I still thinking about what to type and you have two post up on me, lol.

    I do think it might be worth looking at the septic system before renting the machine, just to be double sure.

    Only other thought...

    May be time to bring a licensed, experienced plumber in to see what they think in person!

    It costs less than you may think to get a pro. In to assess this...

    Let us know...

    Mass just read my mind.

    You could spend money renting a machine, only to find that it doesn't cure the problem. Probably sleep better at night if you call for pro onsight service. Completely up to you. Either way, please let us know how it all turns out. Good luck and take care.
