    Water backingup
    When using my washing machine (in the draining cycle) my toilet and tub back up. A plumber ran a hose (?) in the drain of the toilet to unclog the line. He stated that he thought he could feel a break in the pipe but was not sure. He told me if I had further problems he would have to come back out with a camera. Will be Very Expensive! Could you let me know what you think. After he had ran the hose, drainage was good for about 2 weeks. Seems to me if it would be a broken pipe, the problem would have never got better the first time. Can you give me some insight on this problem? Thanks!

    The plumber just used a hose? He didn't run a snake through the drain line? That doesn't sound right. Whill pressure from a hose might push some of the clog out it isn't a auger that scours the sides of the pipe walls. Call him back and get that line snaked out proper. Let me know what you find. Tom
