    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.😀

    Quite the job - especially those roots. Here's a much easier way to get rid of those roots.
    ..
    Years back I had to remove some overgrown lilac bushes that were over 10 feet high! The roots were huge. I ended up using a Milwaukee Sawzall with a coarse blade - 6 teeth per inch. I just pulled the trigger and let the saw work the blade into the ground and through the roots - very easy going.
    ..
    The blades are cheap - six blades for 10 USD (Masterforce brand).
    Bosch cordless reciprocating saw model CRS180B sells in US for 129 USD.
    ..
    Thanks for all the videos!

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.
