Unusual Mysteries with Jason Hawes of Ghost Hunters | Roto-Rooter

Television's Jason Hawes hosts "Unusual Mysteries," a program that explores mysterious creatures, UFOs, paranormal experiences and more. This episode examines strange creatures called "monster roots," which are reported to travel through sewers and pipelines while growing to incredible proportions.

These strange creatures have been popping up across North America for years and can wreak havoc on sewer systems and pipes.

Thanks to Paul Abrahms and the rest of my team at Roto Rooter. It's nice to let loose and have some fun.

This is hilarious!! Best plumbing commercial ever. Though I have to admit, I thought the monster was a giant hairball at first. Maybe that will be on the next episode. ;)

Oh, that was so funny!!  We had one of those monsters in the drain tile going from the farm field across our lawn down to the lake.  Had to have a backhoe come and dig up and then replace 200 feet of drain tile.  The bill was the scariest part!

We had a cesspool when I was a kid. My dad would have to hang down into the thing (was a huge pot) and snake it by hand. I remember having to hold his feet as he dangled in there, clearing it. Apparently there was an angry spirit in there, because the language that came up out of that cesspool was terrifying. lol

That was even scarier  than the episode of Ghost Hunters at the Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum!!!! Think I'll sleep with the lights on and never, NEVER go to the bathroom in the dark!!!!

At my mother's house, we periodically have to have the main pipe snaked because it's the old pressed-cardboard/tar-paper pipe (not sure the actual material) that they used waaay back (something about war time rationing?) and the huge fruitless mulberry about 20 feet away (a monster in it's own right) nearby is the reason for the pipe to be inundated with roots. The real problem, the roots seem to be the only thing holding the pipe together now, so they can only use the smaller snake to clear a channel or it could collapse, leading to a very expensive replacing project.

are Jason n Grant both still at the hotel they bought together????  Thanks for the root video...

[theresamarion]

My ex-husband taught me how to open up the pipes and run a snake through to clear the pipes but if a root monster grows in mine I guess I will be calling on you to use your special equipment.

I miss the Roto-Rooter song on the old commercials.

I'd rather spend the summer at Waverly Asylum in Louisville ( ALL BY MYSELF!), then go through Roto-Rooter Horror!

Just wanted everyone to know that I had a simple toilet tank repair and the cost was $245.00 for a half hour of labor. They used my parts so that was only for Labor. That would be $490.00 per hour in labor. So Beware if you call Roto Rooter for any repairs.

[texaskc]

Definitely not what anyone would expect.

Too funny!!! We had roots actually grow up threw the toilet, looked like creepy fingers....NOT FUNNY!!!! OK OK it's pretty funny now that it's gone! LOL
