Does this sight look familiar?

This is a floor drain located in a boiler room. Water is backing up here because it is the lowest spot in the house. We know it is a sewer back up, because when the toilets are flushed we can see the dirty water coming out of the floor drain. To unclog this problem, you have to gain access to the house trap.
You can try to snake it from the floor drain itself, but, good luck with that. Snaking from the floor drain itself will be a waste of time as you more than likely will not be able to unclog the sewer via the floor drain.
This particular job also had a flood in the back yard due to the sewer back up. Once the sewer was unclogged, this floor drain along with the back yard drain was unclogged.

Sewer pipes usually last decades before collapsing or shifting but with trees on the sidewalks and front lawn, the chances of a sewer line getting messed up rise a little bit. The sewer line is usually ignored by home owners until there is a problem. This is almost like driving a car without changing the engine oil until the car asks for an oil change. This can only go on for a certain period of time, but when the car gets old timely oil change becomes more important.
Same with the sewer lines, as the sewer pipe gets old it needs constant and timely attention. You need to do this especially if you have tree root problem. For old pipes, it is not only tree roots that cause trouble, over the years water running through the sewer line erodes the sewer line and dirt starts to fill up in the sewer line. This is not a problem obviously, until the sewer gets clogged and the home owner has to change the sewer line.
Home owners have an option to find out the health of their sewer line. Sewer cameras have been around for a while, many municipalities use robotic sewer cameras to inspect the city and county sewer system.
If you are having constant back ups due to roots or muck stoppages, you might want to consider a camera inspection for your sewer line. This will eliminate the guess work and you will see exactly what is in your pipe and how your sewer pipe looks from inside. Here are a few videos of camera inspections we performed recently. Some camera inspections were requested by the customers and others were recommended by our technicians.

Just like cars and houses, people also have a taste for toilets. As you can see in the video and pictures aboce, people do give special attention to their toilets. 
There is nothing wrong with it until there is a clog and the toilet overflows or needs to be removed.
Over the years we have seen many toilets, as you can imagine, maybe more toilets than anyone reading this post. But, looking at the toilets in different parts of the world, we can easily say, we have not seen much. The design and material looks awesome in the pictures. Wonder if these toilets have an auto unclogging function as-well. So far we found a Swiss self cleaning toilet.

How about the Australian toilets? Do they really swirl in opposite direction? Looking at these videos it looks like the Australian toilets do not swirl at all. Yes, it is news for us. We were hoping to see it swirl it in the opposite direction.
