CONNECTING UP THE TWO MANHOLES

If water is still flowing down the sewer, the easiest way to connect the 2 Manholes is to float a lightweight Rope down from the Up Stream Manhole to the Down Stream Manhole. The Rope is secured at the Down Stream Manhole, and pulled up onto the Road Surface so that there is now a connection between the 2 Manholes

If the sewer is blocked, Horobin Steel Rods are recommended. The lightweight rope is tied to the end of the Lead Rod, and then the rods are pushed from one Manhole to the other. It does not matter which end you start. This method often results in partial release of the blockage and will make it easier to clear the Sewer

USING THE TOOLS

The Tools are dragged from the Up Stream Winch down towards the Down Stream Winch. If the Sewer is heavily clogged, the Tools will have to be pulled backwards and forwards several times to loosen the Debris. The Tools are designed to rotate as they progress down the Sewer aiding the break-up of Debris.
