What should my friend do next?
You've written about this before, but I can't find it, and I think I have an added question anyhow.
My friend's basement toilet overflowed when his wife did the laundry.
I was over that night and I remember what someone wrote here, so I had someone flush the toilet upstairs while I watched the toilet downstairs. The water in the basement toilet moved noticably.
Today my friend had the plumber come over. He routed or whatever the drain to the street. After he used the first claw, he put on a bigger claw and put 100 feet of cable into the drain, so that he was all the way out to the city sewer, he said.
He says that my friend needs a new drain, from the house to the street, that the current one terra cotta and it must have broken and there must be water in a low spot of the drain.
