-**FIND OUT IF THEY ARE ON CITY SEWER OR SEPTIC IF SEPTIC BE CAREFUL AS TO HOW MUCH CABLE YOU RUN OUT KNOWING YOU COULD GET IT STUCK IN THE SEPTIC TANK. IF ON CITY SEWER RUN OUT ALL 100 OR 125FT OF CABLE..**

-  - FIRST TIME DOWN THE LINE RUN THE 2" SPADE BIT AND IF YOUR LINE STARTS TO BIND UP GO TO NEUTRAL OR REVERSE TO TRY AND JUST TAKE A BITE OUT OF THE CLOG, WHEN WORKING WITH WELL ESTABLISHED ROOTS OVER 3 YRS OF GROWTH IT WILL BE NECESSARY TO PULL BACK A FEW TIMES WITH ROOT BALLS ON THE CABLE TO KEEP FROM DAMAGING THE CABLE. ONCE THE WATER START FLOWING KEEP GOING OUT UNLESS ON SEPTIC AND AT THE TANK ALREADY.
-  - SECOND TIME DOWN THE LINE ALWAYS CHANGE TO A 3" ROUND ROOT CUTTER OR A 3" C CUTTER, IT MAY BE HELPFUL TO RUN THE CAMERA IN BETWEEN RUNS TO KNOW WHETHER YOU ARE DEALING WITH A PARTIALLY COLLAPSED ORANGE-BURG LINE, BEFORE GETTING A LARGER BIT STUCK BUT ALWAYS RUN A LARGER BIT IF POSSIBLE TO GIVE THE CLIENT AS CLEAN OF A LINE AS WE CAN SAFELY DO.
-  - WRITE GOOD NOTES HOW FAR OUT YOU WERE WHEN YOU FIRST HIT THE CLOG HOW FAR TO THE CITY MAIN AND TYPE OF PIPING THEY HAVE IF POSITIVELY IDENTIFIABLE. HOW FAR OUT YOU WERE WHEN THE WATER STARTED DRAINING, WHAT YOU PULLED BACK ON THE CABLE. ALSO TAKE PICTURES OR VIDEO'S OF ANY DAMAGES OF THE PIPE, ANY BELLIES, OR LOW SPOTS, LIPS OR BUMPS.
