So, the drain...

For over a week we've had problems with our drains backing up. Running water quickly, taking a shower or bath, using the washing machine, all made the drains back up. Which as you can imagine was not plesant! We've done using pressure washer, which made no difference! We've done rods, but that just didn't work, the angle was all wrong!! Then we did some aerosol thing that should have blasted it, and that didn't work. So last night Steve and his brother took up flags in our yard, smashed part of the drain, and used the rods. Which ran in fine... but made no difference to the fact it was all backing up!! So now the crack squad are in!! Steve, his brother and his stepdad are in next doors back yard, looking in the inspection chamber that does our house too!! Hoping this might show what the problem is, and get it sorted, as am totally bored of the whole saga!!
Will update when there's more news!!
