While they could not get far due to the t-junctions that are difficult to get around, the camera showed evidence of a lot of debris and one line silted up.</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">I discussed remedies with them and it makes sense to try to use a water jet to try to blow out the silt and debris and perhaps clear the lines.</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">According to them, the drain lines are perforated pipe meant to leech water into the soil. But if a line is plugged up, it could be forcing more water out than intended.</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">They will send an estimate and could probably schedule it for next week. The camera scoping cost $1500.</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">Once the plumbers have tried to clear the lines, we'll re-evaluate the situation and consider doing the same for the other 3 houses. And possibly for all houses as it is unlikely the lines have been cleared since construction. But maybe Larry Green knows.</div><div><br></div><div class="ydp2dc7fc18signature">Rupert</div></div></body></html>
