Has anyone used one before? I have had a few inches of water in my garage last spring and this winter, drains aren't keeping up. I dumped 4 lbs of baking soda and 4 gallons of vinegar with no help. I have 4 drains with 2 exits to only God knows where. Garage is 48x28, the two outside link to the two in the center the exit out the back probly into my yard, water jet guy costs 375, looking to save some loot
 
Take some food coloring and put it into the drain with some water, maybe like a couple of gallons and a good bit of coloring . When the colored water runs out to drain you might be able to see it and know where to dig and clear the end of the drain out.
It is probably plugged right at the outlet. I realize that the end of the drain might be under ground but hopefully you will see the coloring enough to know where to dig.
Hope this helps.
 
Thanks, should've thought of that. Saw that on the oak island TV show.
 
Gonna have to find the outlet, or create a underground gravel pit big enough to hold whatever the garage is taking on if theres just nowhere to go. They make intense dyes in fluorescent colors if food coloring is not enough. Not to thjrow another trade under the bus...… but be damn careful if you go with sewer jet guy... he may start at $375.00, then next thing you know he's wanting $6,000.00 to dig up the yard and you are on your own when he's "done". Good luck, Lefty71
