We are just over 3hrs away.

[@kimburke575]

I’m wondering what the homeowners said when they saw the size of the root in their drain? 😮

[@xrisdavid785]

Yeah......saw the vid where you went to Sydney for a "play date".....& shortly after your return is when you got a DC-38 !

[@southcarolinagrizfan1594]

I feel like if Penetrator was a video game, this would be the final boss.

[@SoulsOfAmarth]

Best comment ever! If Penetrator was Dark Souls This Root would be The Bed Of Chaos😂

[@dianncharlan5648]

That was not a ROOT Gavin, .....that was a telephone pole! That is a Trophy to be proud of!

[@Green_House]

Telephone pole - Good for making 'trunk' calls! 😀

[@pootthatbak2578]

Should mount that root on the trophy wall😮

[@chrismaverick9828]

That's not a root! It's lumber! Turn that into the arch on a gazebo gate or something.

[@DrainAddict]

Now that’s a root! Great video Gavin! 👍👍

[@penetratorblockeddrains]

Thanks mate.. Wishing you and the family a happy Easter 🐣

[@wendyhorn8376]

As a homeowner what I appreciated the most of this window into your work is the extent to which you protected the interior of the house from any impact the job could have had on the footpath to and the bathroom itself. These are HUGE details that are of the utmost importance that all service providers should emulate. Thanks for what you do!

[@boomerf023]

Love the show. I bounce between you and Ollie. I'm a former plumber/utility worker and it never ceases to amaze me what is found in the drain and sewer systems. Keep up the good work.....

[@penetratorblockeddrains]

Wow, thank you!

[@PaulMack1249]

Gavin, if anyone would have told me I would enjoy watching drains being cleaned I would have told them they were out of their minds. After watching you in action earlier this year, I was so entertained and fascinated that I went back to your first one and have watched each video you ever made. Fascinated at the fact that we have nothing like that in upstate New York, as we aren’t in a subtropical climate which obviously is extremely wet and drainage systems are necessary. Plus, trees and other foliage grow all year, producing immense root systems. Entertained by your personality and your trade mark routines, such as the tune that plays when the drainmobile is en-route, and especially your little helpers like the toad and the traffic control officer. I’m guessing there has been some legal reason you retired them or something between you and your counterpart in Sydney, as he has also discontinued having the “drain gang” in his videos, which he discontinued about the same time you stopped. I hope you reconsider and bring them out of retirement, as they played a huge and hysterical part in your whole presentation.

[@jays106]

same here!

[@anniegaddis5240]

WHOA! That's one for the books! Don't forget to cement patch the curb!

[@sauletto1]

😮Jeez... that's insane ! Solid blocked for quite awhile apparently .

[@padrigderoiste3220]

I think you just won the massive root (singular) award!! Good job. It took an excavator to pull it out.

[@brock1maria]

Looked like a whole Tree instead of Roooooots . That was awesome Mr P . Enjoyed seeing you use your new toys of the trade . Fascinating how nature grows anywhere ❤️ Thank you for the video it was very informative on how to lay lines correctly May you and your family be Blessed

[@georgefitter7656]

You tied a nice clove hitch knot around that massive root. That knot will get tighter the more you pull on it. Good man and a great mechanic!

[@joannemattlin8756]

❤that was absolutely incredible! I never imagined a root could totally fill a pipe. Great job Gavin as always! Love roooots!❤❤

[@penetratorblockeddrains]

Glad you liked it!!

[@btdt346]

Wow that was the mother of all specimens! Great work

[@sauletto1]

Outstanding work, Gavin and crew! Really great video.... as always . Thank you for sharing your work experiences so vividly .. I wanted to reach in and help out, myself ! Lol

[@xxBlazinBobxx]

That was quite the job, Gavin! That mini excavator was the perfect solution for solving that massive root intrusion and saved trashing that huge section of pipe! Lining job was a special bonus. Glad you included that stuff went sideways a bit with the air hose for the packer. We all get thrown a curve ball once in a while and we just have to deal with it and get the job done!

[@penetratorblockeddrains]

Glad you liked it!

Thanks 👍

[@kgraham6835]

That was unbelievable!!!! What a great job!❤

[@rtsolution11]

What a project, good grief that surpassed a "root" about 10 years ago and was an underground tree limb. Loved the liner, looked like the practice at home really set you up for a positive outcome. Top notch Gavin. Very impressive by you and the operator of the mini digger.

[@sethwiedeman1799]

Gavin that looked like a trunk of a tree that was growing in the pipes wow that was massive but u fixed it for the customer right o mate si u on the next one 👍👍👍👍👍

[@dianncharlan5648]

OMG! That is a massive ROOT!
