    Hello Oliver, Merry Christmas and a happy New Year to you and your family. I really appreciate all that you do to share your work via RUclips. I have learned heaps and I am now able to (mostly) take care of my own storm water and sewer drainage blockages as a result. I use a tiny little Karcher pressure washer with some hose and nozzles from Amazon. Takes much longer to cut through the roots as I only have about 1200psi but it's a bit of fun and very satisfying when I finally do get things flowing again.😀

Just how many years had it been since the drains had been cleaned??!! When you were flushing them out it looked more like a toilet drain, not a storm drain. As usual, you went the extra mile, and ended up with a happy client and job well done. Thank you for the video! Stay safe! Blessings......
