Any advice prior to calling a pro in.
Our kitchen is in front of house.
We usuarly clean out outside drain on a monthly basis to prevent build up of bits etc.
We did this on Saturday as we noticed some water overflowing, we used our long bendy steel rod (but its not that long,) which has worked before and it seemed OK.
Since then if we use the washing machine or wash up the water is overflowing from the drain into the soil, and the water is still just below the drain cover.
I was going to buy a set of rods to see if that would reach the blockage before calling someone in.
I assume its our out outside drain blocked rather than the one on the pavement.
Has anyone used rods if so are they good ? I have tried hot water etc nothing has worked so far.
Any reccomedations pls.
