Longest Drain Cleaning

[OkieBill]

I had a soft stoppage at 130' that did nothing but clog the retrievers and cutters 10+ out and backs on that one (That was a bad day)

I keep a K-60 with 95' in one basket and 60' in another on the truck

K1500 with 300' of 1 1/4" that is still collecting dust in my garage.

Today a cabled a main 6" clay, 190' with a 1 hp. electric eel. i hit roots at 160' and 175' and it went through it like butter.

Around here you are required to have a c/o every 100' but some of the really old homes do not have that.

How long did this take with the electric eel? 130' for me.

225' with 7500 years ago. and 165' a couple times a year with the k-60

my jetter has reeled off the full 400' of 1/2'' hose on many occasions

Out in our valley 200' is an every day cleaning. There are a lot of big lots and homes that had septic in the back and are now connected to sewers in the front.

I am sorry I read your response wrong, and I did not think about it before I typed.. My mind has been side tracked the last few days. My mom is in the hospital and they have her scheduled for heart surgery tomorrow at noon.

I am trying to stay in my normal routine, but I am failing at a lot of things today.

GEAR JUNKIE........It took me about 90mins total. It started buy snapping together 80' and just pushing them into the sewer until i could not push any more. the rest i had to run section by section. To pull them out i left them all connected and pulled them all out buy hand. Winding them up was a work out!
