Thanks AC. I have been thinking of Tigon tubing, but wire might do well. #6 gage? That’s pretty thick stuff.
I asked a co-worker about this whole thing and we found an outfit that can do trenchless septic lines. They are coming over on Friday to see if this is something they can do and if so, how much it will cost.

I removed the trap but it was clean so I knew it weas further down the line. The plumber came to snake and doing so he blew out a section lateral pipe. Looking inside it was paper then from corrosion. Further in we saw the problem, the 2inch pipe was clogged leaving a 1/2″ hole to allow flow. He recommended replace the 15 ft length of lateral. He did that with PVC. He had to splice in a PVC tee. After cracking the 6 in vertical he noticed the vertical was about to split open. He ended up replace 10′ of 6″ with PVC too.
Fron that day on we place all cooking oil in empty jars and trash them. We also use Dawn detergent. It annihilates any residual oil that may be on a pan or plate.
The septic guys must be using a water jet to carve a path for flexible pipe.

Good luck with the trenchless. Hope they can get it fixed for you.
Have a wonderful day word!October 18, 2023 at 12:32 pm #1690mspartParticipantWell, trenchless will be very expensive I think. I’ll find out on Friday. But to dig it out myself is pretty much a non starter. I either need to remove sections of deck or do it under the deck where there is about 1ft vertical space. So I would be on my gut trying to dig down a couple of feet. Trenchless is the way to go from a logistical standpoint word.

Removing deck sections or attempting to dig underneath doesn’t sound fun at all. You could just move to Iowa. Problem solved.
Have a tremendous day word!October 19, 2023 at 12:47 pm #1692mspartParticipantAC – That thought had never crossed my mind. Yes I could do that. We lived in MN for 7 years and don’t think we can take those kind of mild winters anymore.

My youngest son’s B-day is today, we are going bouldering for that. I think I’ll hang on the ground, my shoulder and arthritic finger will rebel if I do that word.
