Client called us out due to a sewage backup at the far end of home in the laundry room, up out of that laundry room toilet. While we were there client asked us to also take care of an old and rusty garbage disposal, and also an abandoned drain pipe, open and just stubbed up through the floor. We installed the new customer supplied garbage disposal in kitchen and cut out that abandoned pipe. We also abandoned the old cast iron kitchen waste arm in the wall that the kitchen was still draining in to and stubbed up new pvc pipe through same hole, added a tee and an air admittance valve under the sink for that fixtures vent. Also added new tubular drain ptrap. We pulled the laundry room toilet as the entire sewage system was full of water and ran camera and drain machine as far as I could. Couldn’t get far enough, so. We had to get some garbage/plastic bins, lightly unscrew 2 cleanout caps In different areas, and let the system completely drain down into the bins so we could get closer.
