To clear a blocked main drain, locate your main sewer cleanout access pipe in the basement, crawlspace, or exterior yard, and remove the threaded plug carefully with a wrench. Insert a heavy-duty motorized drum auger or sectional sewer machine cable into the opening, feeding the steel cable slowly forward while rotating the mechanism to smash through tree roots, grease plugs, or paper clogs. Callout type="warning" title="Hygiene Warning": Wear heavy rubber gloves and safety goggles when opening sewer cleanouts. Verification: Test household plumbing fixtures to confirm smooth, rapid drainage.
