Hi, after moving into a house after a few weeks sewage began to flow out from the manhole cover on the drive, after opening it and a call to the water board we discovered shattered fragments of the drain pipe leading to the main sewer under the road, after clearing them the waste drained away but we are at a loss of what to do next as it has happened again since. (After a while toilet paper and other lovely stuff get caught and slowly block it again)
I don't know much about drains but apparently the 'interceptor' has been completely destroyed according to the water board people who came originally, (I'll post pictures attatched, apologies for the mess and don't look if you're squeamish )
EDIT: The picture was taken after it had just been unblocked again, usually it is full of toilet paper and other debris)
and was wondering what the best solution to fix this would be, would filling up where the interceptor used to be with some sort of material solve this issue?
We can't afford to spend lots at the moment with the current situation and to me it looks as if the problem could be solved by filling up the hole where the broken interceptor was below the outlet.
Would this be advised? And if so, what material would be used to fill this hole up?
Cheers, J.
