  access to your main cleanout line, you can remove
  the short, round rubber cap to keep the dirty
  water off your property.

• Professionals can also use a washer attached to a
  sewer jetter. This is a long hose that can break
  apart clogs due to its pressure.
• It can also scrub the sides of a dirty pipe as it
  moves along the line.
