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.

On the ridgid site, 2 guys have pulled out an 18 and 20fter. One was sectional and the other was drum machine. They have pics.

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.

21' root: Its all good

22' root: Call a plumber!

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
