Homeowner Had No Idea THIS Was in the Main Line!

Описание: In this video, I get called to a home where bathroom drains were backing up and not draining properly. After checking all the fixtures, I headed down to the basement to locate the main drain line. I found a 3-inch main cleanout on the stack before it exited the house and got to work.

I used my Ridgid K60 sectional machine with a 7/8" cable and snaked out 75 feet. Around the 60-foot mark, I hit a tough blockage that took some effort to get through. Once I broke it up and reeled my cable back, I found roots wrapped around the cable—classic tree root intrusion in the main line.

After clearing everything out, we ran tests on the entire drain system—toilets, sinks, and tubs—and everything was flowing perfectly.

If you’re dealing with slow drains, backups, or main line issues, this is what root problems look like—and how to handle them.
