How to unclog a basement floor drain

[@kobaltstaub287]

Mine was an older house, no place with a cap on it so I had to scoop all the debris rocks and stuff out with a long handle spoon, I did use the fish thing that I turned by hand to make a hole through since it's the "P" part of the trap that keeps all the heavy debris going in and once the fish got through I used the garden hose with a regulat lance on it starting the pressure slow and upping the water pressure as I saw water going through. Ended up both fawcet full blast for 15 minutes and the drain was swallowing it all so no more clog and I had a clean pipe. Most of the time it's all the crap from the floor that we sweep and some gets into it and we don't think about it but with years and years you get what you get and you have to deal with it. Garage drains are the worst

Ok but what about the big hole on the bottom?? Its draining down there but its backing up when the washer drains

Thanks for the video Heavy. Is there a drain plate or some other solution that can mount/clip 4 rubber drain hoses to the drain so they dont move around?

So water is coming out of the bladder ?
