Nanites are the futuristic robots that are microscopic - and can travel in the thousands together to accomplish a given task. This is a concept that is popular in medicine - but I think it would be an excellent idea for the future of plumbing - because all the plumber would have to do is manage the nanites (plumbing maintenance engineer).

Scott, Thanks for the comment. I know, the plumbing company did mention a backhoe. Thankfully we didn't need it. Cliff, Ya, I'll pass on that! I did think I was going to have the whole waste line replaced at a cost of like $25 per foot (!!!). Emily,

You are not going to want to hear this, but you are lucky. In Minnesota with full basements, you have to get a backhoe in and dig up most of the yard to get to the drain line (about 8-10 feet down). Looks like yours is about 2 feet under ground. Great story.
