You don’t want any surprises if it’s full. Lol.

They sell attachments for pressure washers that spin and self feed. Kind of a poor man’s water jet blasting.

You could rent a drain cleaning machine from Home Depot but that’s a two person job. Easier if you go at it from outside so you don’t have to move the heavy machine downstairs - plus no mess inside. Better to get the auto feeding machine.
