    Unhappy Machine to unblock drain

    Anyone know if there is a machine that can push out stuff blocking a drain pipe ? Have tried hydroclhoric acid, no luck ! My phantasy is that there is a plumber out there (Roi Et preferably !) with a machine that can do the job. Save having to break potentially several metres of cement. I live in hope ...

    Just as a matter of interest, is there a particular tree you suspect of sending down its roots ? If so, the problem will return....

    Second-last house I owned in NZ had endless problems due to tree roots, neighbour's row of magnolias along their boundary. Became a regular event getting the plumber to call with his roto-rooter for the sewage pipe.

    As these things happen ... worst occasion was on a Christmas Day we had to abandon and stay with friends for a few days.

    The op does not say what diameter pipe it is. When I worked on sewers the best tool was this. Comes in 4" and 6" diameter plunger.
