An unfinished basement with exposed pipes and a water heater in the corner

Slow drains for months turned out to be roots in the main line. Cleared, photographed and a plan to stop them coming back.

Aaliyah ran the camera down the main line and found roots 40 feet out. She cleared them with a cable machine and showed the owner the clear pipe afterward.

The result

Drains running freely the same day, and a note to schedule a camera look every year.

“Slow drains for months. She showed me the root on the screen and fixed it that afternoon.”
