To clear a blockage in your main household drain, locate the main sewer cleanout access pipe (usually found in the basement, crawlspace, or exterior yard). Remove the cleanout plug carefully with a wrench, and insert a heavy-duty motorized drum auger or sectional sewer machine cable into the opening. Feed the steel cable slowly forward while rotating the handle or motor, pushing through resistance until you break up the tree roots or grease clog. Callout type="warning" title="Hygiene Warning": Wear heavy rubber gloves and safety goggles when opening sewer cleanouts. Verification: Test household fixtures to confirm smooth drainage.
