What was the strangest thing you ever removed from a sewer line?
Me? We pulled out 9 pair of G-String panties. The woman was about 65 years old and had 2 nieces living with her. She had a coniption fit when she saw them!

A full can of beer, cable and blades running an orangeburg pipe, could not get past this one spot, backhoe dug up the spot, cut the line and there is was, no one wanted to drink it, that's for sure.

Does a vent stack count?

I pulled an 8' 2X4 out of a vent stack of the ADA building in Chicago rodding from the roof. the building is 27 stories tall, and I snagged it in the last crossover, which was thirty feet down.

I also cut out a section of vent stack in that same building on the tenth floor to remove a four foot long piece of 1-1/4 black steel pipe that had been in there since the building was built in the sixties.

Something tells me the plumbers on that job didn't get along well with others during construction.

One that sticks out was a squirrel which had gotten stuck in a bldg. sewer.The thing was hairless and bloated.When I first dug it up I was like what the hell,I saw the busted fitting and saw claws and my first instinct was that it was a baby gator.It was the first sewer I repaired after moving to Florida,guess I had gator on the brain,they're all over the place.

I have had a squirrel tangled up in my cable before. I have found rats, squirrels, and a rabbit (no cap on clean out, he must have fell in).
I found a bunch of condoms at the interance of the setic tank. I had THE MOM at the tank when I pulled the lid. It was a priceless look. She had a teenage boy at the time. It was kinda uncomfortable feeling there for a second. Really didn't know what to say except, "Yep, theres the problem".

In Christ,

Condoms for me too but the couple didn't use condoms and the husband just came home from a monthlong business trip. Talk about akward silence when they saw that.

Just today i got a call for a smell in the garage. Customer had an open vent in the garage for the combo sewer/storm line. Told him that is where the smell is coming from. He said that hasnt had a lid for acouple yrs and never had a smell before from there. SO i told him lets jet the line to clean it. After a few mins of jetting and not being able to get thru the trap, i saw something that looked like a wire in the trap. I reached down to get the wire and found out it was the tail of a huge sewer rat

After that i was able to get the jet hose thru the trap
