It is always so heartwarming when Gavin gets blissfully excited as a root comes flowing out of the stormwater like that.

There I was just having a lovely time watching gavin clearing the roots from the drain, and then he went and changed the camera position. All I could think about then was where is his traffic management, advance warning signs, cones, and barriers! All those cars going past made me nervous! I was much happier when gavin changed the camera position back! Those were some bloody good roots! I'm always fascinated with the tree roots.

Gavin, you certainly did have a difficult time getting those palm roots out! 😰 Gav, do they make the equivalent of a lance gun that you could just attach as a nozzle? The lance gun is pretty devastating (as Ollie demonstrated cutting through a huge log!). What do you think, a lance head that screws on, possibly still with the swivel action for slight angle cuts when twisting the hose, working a little like the front of the RS 38. You could then follow up with the single barrel reverse to blow the roots out? What do you think 🤔?

Gavin, looking at that metal edge of the drain I think it would be a good thing to cut a pool noodle to the width of the edge and just cut the noodle lengthwise to use as a protective gasket.

I think a pole with a pair of nippers/loppers attached to a pull down to just reach a certain length and cut some of the roots that are tough and thick. So far you are in the lead with the biggest/longest root in a single place/job ie sewer pipe Sometimes I ask myself why not try to get it fixed.

How do tree roots get inside the pipe from paul chapman at London uk 🇬🇧

@rupe53 Жыл бұрын

pipe gets crushed, broken, disconnected joint, etc, and the roots are just seeking water so grow in anywhere they can. This is basically the same reason weeds grow in the cracks of a sidewalk. There's dirt and water, so all they really need to thrive.

@richardphelan8414 Жыл бұрын

ROOTS , My favorite word from Gavin and Ollie ,why do you favor the single barrel over the DC ?, Do people there ever do routine yearly maintenance on the storm water systems.
