Hey everyone,

I'm new to this forum so, if I posted in the wrong place I apologize.

I have an issue underneath the mobile home that I'm living in currently.

It appears to me that part of the sewer drain is clogged or leaking, and as a result there is a good bit of water standing under the house.

I'm not a plumber and don't have much working knowledge in plumbing, so I'm hoping that someone on this forum can give me some advice/ insight on this. I'll attach a short video & a couple pics below.

If there's a way to take care of it myself, I'd prefer that over calling a plumber. Thank you in advance.

It appears that the sewer connection is open at the top and sewage is overflowing that fitting. It that toilet paper sticking out the top? Ift appears you have a plugged sewer line downstream of your connection. That line needs to be snaked to clear the blockage. If you don't have much plumbing experience or knowledge, I would caution you against trying to snake this yourself.

If the fitting is actually open, it either needs to be plugged or extended vertically or no more than 45 degrees off vertical to above the roof of the trailer, depending on where your main vent stack is located. Again, not the job for a novice.
