Post subject:  How to unclog a sewer line

So after 4 hours trying to unclog a sewer drain I came up with this. Put it in the end of my pressure washer hose and fed it down the line to the blockage. 5000psi blew it out in under a minute.
I've owned a pressure washer my whole life and this never crossed my mind. Hope it may help someone else.

That's an awesome idea. Good one.
I do have a question though.
Those quick connects -- are they the twist release style or the push release ??
The reason I ask is because if it is a push release then when you are shoving it back and forth you could easily pop the entire metal end piece off the end of the pressure line and it would be in the pipe. If the little green tip popped off it wouldn't matter but the whole thing laying in the pipe is something else.

Would have been a great idea first thing this morning. By 4pm it was just a good idea.
Good point on the connectors. They are just the push but require quite a bit to release. I didn't work it at all though just pushed it up to the blockage and it did the rest. I was going through a straight line with only a couple joints at the beginning.
I'm not sure how easy they would release under pressure as when under pressure I can't even swivel them.

That is a good idea. Could just wrap it right with electrical tape to prevent the push connectors from coming off in the hole.
