Yesterday I was cleaning out our drain line (kitchen sink and basement washing machine) which I have done ~quarterly for the past couple of years. I was using my Drain Cleaner I got from Harbor Freight: [url=https://www.harborfreight.com/50-ft-compact-electric-drain-cleaner-68285.html]harborfreight.com/50-ft-compact-electric-drain-cleaner-68285[/url] The drain was cleared and when I ran the washing machine no water came up from the floor drain, but I did notice a small water rivulet coming from the pipe where it goes into the basement floor.

My questions are: 1. What did I do wrong? Or is this just an old pipe thing. 2. Can I fix this myself? 3. If so, any pointers regarding what terminology I would search?

My home has a natural gas stub on the outside back wall. I don't know how big it is; maybe the attached picture will help. My wife and I would like to build an outdoor living space that includes a barbeque grill, an outdoor 36" Blackstone griddle, a fire table and potentially a patio heater. Is it acceptable to run a buried natural gas line from this valve to the patio and tee off it for these appliances? I'm well aware that this supply line is not likely to be able to allow us to use all of these appliances at once. I can't image that we would ever want to. I'm fine having to tell the wife to turn off the heater so I can grill burgers if necessary. I just don't know if such an arrangement would be legal/up to code/practical.
