Who knew that peoples' everyday job could be so fascinating?

And people are weird about people parking in front of their place. You responded well. "I'll move when you need me to". Simple.

A few years ago, I was clearing a drain with a general wire cable auger. 3/4 hp 100 ft 3/4" cable. I spent about 2 hours trying to retrieve my cable from the pipe. Once i was finally able to remove it, there was 15 ft of cable that had juniper roots wrapped around it the diameter of the 4 inch pipe. It scared me to think that i would have to dig up the pipe to retrieve my cable. Fortunately, it finally broke loose and came out. Both myself and the customer were amazed at how much root mass there was. It was very satisfying when the job was completed and draining properly. I enjoy watching your videos. I wish i had a jetter many many times.

Gavin, I've noticed something different from here in the states ans Aus. Why don't the contractors use pipe cement on the drains? It seems like that would greatly reduce a lot of roots from separating and growing in the pipes. My Mrs. has finally started binging your videos and has started asking if we ever become rich enough if we can contract you to maintain our plumbing? Just think a bit of a bus man's holiday in Louisiana.

For my money the best root extraction was the one where the root of a tree took up the whole pipe. A mate of yours came with a small tractor/front loader and you tied a bit of rope and he backed up and just pulled the entire root out. It took up all the space in the drain pipe and must have been about 30 feet long and weighed a ton!
