Default monster tree root
Today , we pulled a tree root out of a sewer that was 17 feet long. Longest one I've seen. It was from a ficus tree. Was about 3'' diameter. Anyone else seen anything this big?

17 feet is longer than anything I've pulled out. 8' is my personal record. That would have made a great picture.

I removed one that was about 5', but it had like 3 sections. The funny thing was when I sent the video cam down the pipe was in good shape. It had one hole and no bellies.
