How can I locate a drain line beneath my basement floor without having someone bring in a snake? If it is possible.

If you are trying to locate your main sewer line you may have a shot. If you have a full size clean-out in your basement and you know where the outside sewer is, this may be a straight line, the problem is that this is only a guess. The only sure way is to use an electric detecter; if the line is plastic the only thing that I know of is a t.v. camera. Sorry, but thats the best I can do.
