SOB'ing tree roots, look at this mess
I had one of my stations come to complete stop after decreased water pressure. I could hear a squealing sound and started digging. After 2 hours of chopping and sawing roots of a silver maple 6' away, I found this mess. All repaired just wonder how long before it happens again. There was no leaking water, so no roots find water source just bad luck.

Ha! That's awesome. I dealt with a similar situation with a pine soon after moving in here.
