Need someone close to Lawrenceville to help clear 100 foot outdoor PVC drain line!

[RugerRob]

I have three AC units on a concrete slab, the drain line goes into a PVC pipe that runs under the concrete and out into the yard on a downhill slope. I ran a 50 foot snake through it and it stayed clear for a few days but then went right back to being clogged. I could spend a few hundred getting a machine which I would probably only use one time but would rather see if anyone local could come by and do it for some cash... I would rather pay someone cash than call Roto Rooter and get ripped off by some one that thinks they deserve several hundred hours for a 1/2 hours work... I have a feeling the line is around 75-100 foot total length.

PM me here if you got a good long drain snake that can clear the line for me easy money.

Thanks.

If the drain is ~100 feet long you should be able to run from each end and clean the whole pipe. When you have the pipe clean and running, I would close the end of the pipe and fill with a diluted mixture of drain cleaner and let it sit for an hour or so. When you unplug, it should be clean . That's what I would do.

Clorox is your friend..

I wonder if it is cracked and you are getting tree roots coming in and blocking it? That happened to me and I would clear it and it would be fine until the roots got back into the pipe.

might try putting garden hose in it and seeing if the water pressure and volume will flush out whatever is blocking it

I'm not sure, the outlet end of it appers to be under ground and I can't find where the outlet end is. I was reading online this morning to try a shop vac to suck the debris in the pipe so I may try that and the bleach solution after work today.

Tried a shop vac, no luck, still not draining, tried some bleach as well... Anyone with a 100 foot snake to run through a pvc line? Have heard to stay away from air pressure which could damage the line/explode/bust the pvc tubing.

Have you checked at a tool rental place? I bet you could rent one for less than $50 for the day.

If it's PVC pipe not much chance of Bursting it with Air Pressure. Even low grade PVC pipe is cleared for 150-200lbs air Pressure. Higher grades are just that even higher. PVC tubing is good for usually 100lbs or +. So unless you have something thats really Light weight PVC, CHOOT the AIR to it.
