    I'm kind of surprised that you didn't hose it out and also that you disinfected the area afterwards. Most videos I've seen they just use high pressure water to clean away the roots and hose the area off.
    I didn't expect a manhole cover to be disguised in the driveway like that.

    • @TheDrainUnblockers
      @TheDrainUnblockers  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Hi Steve,
      We address this in most videos. From our experience, we choose and prefer to use buckets. The buckets of water give a better gush and allow us to control it a lot easier and better than using jetting. There are videos on our channel where we show you how jetting isn't always better. We aren't afraid of a little extra work to yield better results. This is how we work.
