i know it's been posted before

but i'll re post it with a different angle.
had a long time customer call me sunday evening with a main line stoppage. last time they had a main line was 15 years ago
they have a home warranty contract with a $45. deductible.
i told them to call the warranty co. as there is nothing i can do for $45.
of course i knew they won't touch it without a cleanout and anything outside the house.
they called me back to do the job
so onto the roof i go. 3'' roof vent 50' to the stoppage. pulled back roots with the 7/8'' cable and 3'' sawtooth cutter.
suggest to install an outside ground level c/o for the future as the roots were pretty healthy.
so between recreating the stoppage. going up to the roof with my k-60, 90' of cable, snaking and putting everything back into my truck. writing the invoice, i was still done in under an hour.
try that inside a house with carpeted bathrooms and pulling a toilet
k-60, bring it on roots
rick.
3'' toilet vent under the sheet metal double wye cap
k-60, 90' of 7/8'' cable, 3'' spiral saw, and 1979 circa little giant ladder.
so i couldn't get the owner to go on the roof, but she did get my catch of the day. and at 8:15 it was still hot.
