Joe smuck could just as easily do that with a deep 2 way cleanout. With two combos, he has more of a chance!!

Yea it can happen, not that I have heard it happen in the 14 years that I have been here in Oregon

So you don't have to have an upper terminal clean out, one need to be able to clean upstream but at only one location on said main. Remember I said cllean outs every 100' and those are directional one ways.

hey we have done it once or twice...broke the toilet. We replaced it....no biggie. I have a better one. I was on the roof and the sewer machine on the ground...I was shoving the cable down the stack and it went through a section of lead pipe in the wall....went through the lead pipe and through the wall and tore the bathroom apart. Thank God for insurance. It can happen before you know it. We learned somthing that day.

Right and that would/could allow someone to break a toilet. So thats why I was saying that answer about breaking the toilet from them really doesn't make sense. Seems like they would like the combo method because your for sure know which way your going.

Ever do a sewer call at a house that had a backwards wye or tee?

I've been to a few where I'm cabling and I just happen to look up and out the window and see my cable hanging off the roof dangling. I go out side and it's tied in a huge knot in the flour bed. Dough!

We had one come out of the pipe and out of the ground. The sewer ran down between two concrete driveway runners with grass in between. The cable came out of the ground and beat a ladys undercarraige to death!
