You won't do any damage with the regular snake.
Have you any trees or big shrubs/bushes near to the house / drains?

the main city sewer line runs parallel to the back of our house and the
kitchen sink and that opening are right on the back of the house. We chose
the place to dig by coming straight out from the house towards the main
line. The plumber did say he could electronically locate it but that would
run about $250 and that the line should be in that general area I was
speaking of and we should be able to find it. he actually encouraged me to
have my husband do this work or to hire someone else to dig the hole as he
said I did not want to pay him to dig a hole. My theory is he is really a
nice guy and was trying to help me out, or he hates to dig holes. :)
Oh, and we have been told by two different plumbing companies that the
opening on the side of the house is not big enough for the new machines.
We have a regular snake and have run it down the toilet in the half bath.
Should I give it a try on the kitchen sink or on that outside opening? What
kind of damage might I do?

Is the cleanout you mentioned on the kitchen accessible from outside the
house. That should be considered a ground level cleanout unless the kitchen
is on the second floor. Has a snake been put down this cleanout?
Approximately what size, diameter is this clean out plug? If you have been
talking with a plumber, did he talk anything about using a electronic pipe
locater to find the route this pipe takes. Do you know where the main city
sewer is? Is there a manhole cover that might line up with your property?
This could give you an idea of the depth and possible direction change. This
of course depends on if there is a lateral main and other houses are tied in
also. You might try probing with a steel rod in the bottom of your hole to
see if you can find a pipe.

Hey Guys,
Please do not take this badly, :) but I am back because of a desperate
problem that I know you all can help me with. Even if that help is have a
drink and call the plumber. :) I noticed some new names in the digest, so I
will take just a moment to introduce myself and then get right to my sewer
problem.
I am Jennifer and I live in Oklahoma with my three young sons and my
husband. I am not very handy, but have learned so much from this list in the
past and gained a lot of confidence about what I can do myself.
Ok, here we go with the sewer line. I have a partial block. Enough of a
block that my washing machine and dishwasher back up and send water over
flowing out of the half bath there by the laundry room. As you can imagine
this does not make me very happy, though my floors are looking extra clean
these days from the bleach water and other detergents. :) We tried some
nasty chemicals and the snake on the line and no luck. It turns out that we
do not have a ground level clean out for the plumbers to use so our home
warranty is not going to cover this either.
So now we are trying to install the ground level clean out, but we can not
find the sewer line. We have a clean out just outside the kitchen sink on
the wall of the house and the plumber said that most likely our sewer line
will run straight out from there. There is about ten feet of concrete
between the house and the yard though and we have been told that may mean it
is as much as four to six feet deep that far out. We had the electric and
what not lines marked and have a pretty narrow window to dig in to find this
stupid line. We are now just over four and a half feet down and into hard
packed clay. Should we try widening the trench before we go deeper? Any
other tips or suggestions?
Jennifer
