Re: JAY R. SMITH BACKWATER VALVE
where can i get a 55 gallon drum of draino??

Going to follow all the good advice I have received from you all, and if all else fails I will call city and ask to have them check and jett the line from house to street, and if needed look at it with a camera to see if it a grading problem as it has been suggested. They shouldn't charge me for that should they?

Josh, I don't have a clean out in front yard , kinda trying to avoid having to dig if at all possible.
James,i will first try running clean water to see if it helps.

Jerry, the wet dry vac into a pump is a good idea, thats what will probably work best as long as its strong enough to pump it back up the basement walkout stairs into yard. THEN i can replace the parts without drowning my ratchet wrench.

oh, I didnt have gloves on last time...had KFC for dinner eeewwwww. j/k
