Today’s post comes courtesy of Dr Marc Dussault, The Exponential Growth Strategist. At his recent Exponential Business Building Bootcamp, he showed a series of “impossible pictures” from Swedish Artist Erik Johansson. This photo was of particular interest. This is what we want to avoid with Vaporooter when tree roots get into and block your pipes and drains.

Don’t play Noughts and Crosses when you have sewer problems
Saturday, January 1st, 2011An ounce of prevention will keep your drains running
Saturday, May 29th, 2010Today pleasure was to meet Dr “Elliot”… This man is incredibly organised.
We were called to his home to run our drain cleaning equipment, the world famous “Rattlesnake” high pressure water drain cleaner, through his house drains downstream to the sewer boundary trap at the rear of his property, adjacent to the swimming pool.
He has had blocked drains in the past and declared he didn’t want the inconvenience of a blocked sewer pipe during the upcoming holidays when his extended family would be visiting and his old sewer line would be put under pressure.
The thought of having his beautifully manicured garden dug up or even disturbed, inspired this house proud professional to maintain one of his homes main arteries.
He compared our house visit to check his drains, just like a patient having a health check with their Doctor, especially as we get a little older. Pipes and people!
Dr Elliott knew where all the access points to his sewer were located, how to test his sewer and all the symptoms of a blocked drain. It was a pleasure to work with such a professional
An ounce of prevention will keep your drains running. Oh, and if pain persists………… see your Doctor
Would you use this loo?

I have just returned from Louisville Kentucky,to visit the 30th Annual Pumper and Cleaner Environmental Expo.

How to clean it clear it, move it, store it, collect it and record it.
Over the next few weeks I will share with you some of the sights and sounds and people that made
Louisville 2010 http://www.pumpershow.com/ the greatest plumbing expo so far this decade.
Please enjoy these images and come back to this blog page over the next few weeks to see Louisville KY through the eyes of The Lone Drainer and Pronto.
In the meantime enjoy these images of a very unusual public toilet,
I ask you, Would you use this Loo?

It’s made entirely of one-way glass!
No one can see you from the outside, but when you are inside it’s like sitting in a clear glass box!
Could You….??? Now would you use this fun toilet?
Why the Hills Weeping Fig can make you cry
Thursday, July 2nd, 2009The Hills weeping fig (ficus microcarpar var.) is a beautiful tree, in some cases a shady archway for many streets in our Sydney Eastern suburbs.
But why are the residents of these streets pulling out their hair? (more…)
Vaporooter Guarantee
Wednesday, April 15th, 2009Blocked drains are a major problem - any way you look at it!
Tree root invasion of sewer lines is a common cause of such blockages — BUT, when left unattended, tree roots will cause major damage to your sewer pipes (which, as you might imagine, can be far more troublesome than just any old blockage and the resulting sewerage backflow).

Replacing broken or collapsed sewer pipes can be a VERY expensive exercise …
Thankfully, there is a solution! … (but it’s NOT just a case of removing the tree roots).
The best answer we know of (and use ourselves) is Sanafoam Vaporooter. When applied to sewer lines correctly, the foam coats the interior of the affected pipes, seeping through any fine cracks which may have been created by the invading tree roots, and killing off any roots it comes in contact with. Vaporooter is so effective, that we guarantee the results for 12 months …

Vaporooter: The BEST solution for tree roots in sewers
What happens when tree roots grow in your sewer pipes
Monday, April 13th, 2009The intrusion of tree roots in sewer pipes is probably the most destructive single element that faces those maintaining a sewer collection system today.
http://www.thelonedrainerandpronto.com.au/vaporooter.php
Sewers are aging expensive assets that attract public attention, only when they fail. There are more than 35,000 kms of water and sewer pipes in Sydney and 60% of all collection systems are made up of pipe with a diameter of 9 inches (225mm) or smaller. The potential for tree root intrusion to inhibit flows, produce blocked drains and damage valuable pipes is enormous.
