Blocked sewer, deep manhole

[MarkSmith]

Hi,

Water is draining very slowly from my house into the main sewer. The closest inspection point I have is a "manhole" about 5 meters inside my property boundary (in the garage), but it's about 1.5m deep.

I don't know whether it's blocked or collapsed, but I presume blocked. I'd like to rod this out but I don't think normal drain rods will be flexible enough to bend the required 90 degrees in the space of the manhole.

I'm not aware of any other places to gain access.

Any suggestions please?

Thanks,
Mark

one and a half meters aint deep and rods will do that no probs.

Thanks very much - didn't realise they were as flexible as that. One set of drain rods ordered.
