        Any advice on how to remove non-woody, fibrous roots that are blocking plastic French drain pipes that drain my backyard, other than replacing the pipes? Is there a device or method to extract the blockage? I tried the “balloon catheter” method on the end of a hose, but it couldn’t dislodge the blockage. Thanks in advance.
