Drains require fall!  American Plumbing, LMP #556

Our customer called saying that she was being told her main drain line was stopping up due to bellies in the line.  Our video inspection showed her drain line did not have any measurable bellies but, that her drain line had no fall.  The entire 90' drain line was only 17" deep throughout.  There should be at least a 12" difference in depth from the initial inside cleanout to the outside marking.
