There was no clean-out to cut them out, so buddy and I dug a hole in the back yard in the middle of winter, put a 12' stock tank over the top of it upside down and used a Coleman catalytic heater to keep it warm while we opened a hole and ran a snake through there to clean out the roots. Had no clue we could have killed ourselves with sewer gas coming back into the open flame we used for heat. We got lucky, and got a clean-out installed.We have a friend with 20 some rentals. Sewers and cast iron seem to be his major issues keeping them maintained.</blockquote>
