Client reported persistent backups in one of the bathrooms. Over the past few days, the toilet and shower have been backing up into each other, and water has begun seeping from the base of the toilet. The client attempted to cable the shower drain but was unsuccessful. After removing the toilet, he discovered that a previous flange repair had been performed before he purchased the home and that the wax seal had not been installed. He then attempted to clear the blockage by cabling through the flange with a hand snake but was unable to get past the obstruction. No other fixtures in the home are affected. I will begin by setting up my drain machine at the flange and cabling downstream to attempt to clear the blockage and restore proper drainage. After cabling, we will run water through both the shower and the flange to verify proper flow and function. No warranties are provided on any drain cabling services.
