There is currently water leaking around the curb box which has interned collapsed the sewer lateral. There was an attempt to camera from the furthest clean out in the basement which was completely plugged. Then went to the cleanout closest to the front of the house and was able to get out to the area where the water had collapsed the sewer line.

Both stacks must be combined to one going out of the house to the main. There is a cleanout on the stack with in 5' of exterior wall, however I want a cleanout at the build wall on the inside. This sewer on the exterior will be allowed to connected to the clay at the front porch and then ran all new to the main.
