I recently tried to have my basement drains snaked out because there is sewage build up where the water isn't emptying out into the city sewer lines outside of the house. My pipes and drains quickly fill with water leaving 2 pools of water in the basement. The kitchen sink, 1st floor bathroom tub and toilet, and washing machine sink leak water onto the floor because my pipes fill up too quickly. Ben Washington & Sons Detroit Plumbing snaked out the sewer line for 130 feet, but were unsuccessful in opening the blockage outside of the house. I was told that part of the sewer may be collasped in the neighborhood. How can this problem be fixed? I would love to hear from someone. I cant continue living in a house where the sewers are collapsed leaving the residents with backed up sewage.

Sewer is block will not drain the water when it rains
