Cut this one out with a 3/4" Warthog nozzle. Came out of a 8" line. Turned out to be 22ft. long.

21' root: Its all good

22' root: Call a plumber!

I know its late but I remember one time being on low end of a manhole in a mining camp. I was baby of team so I was in manhole pushing cable up to stoppage , I started smelling sulfuric acid and thought it was time to climb out of manhole I barley cleared top when the godawfullyest stuff hit me on the feet that was in the days roto had the gas powered machines with 1 man on machine and the other (me) in the hole I am proud to be above ground and breathing now
