It's a jungle out there
Bingo! Drainage Serviceman Brent locates the head of a blocked wastewater main in Southgate with his metal detector.
The search started on CCTV when the team found tree roots blocking the main. After locating and uncovering the buried head, they got stuck in and cleared out the pipe with a hand-tool, as they were more than 50m ‘off road’ and their flushing truck was out of range.
Stay safe everyone. It’s a jungle out there!
