CAN YOU TOP THIS?

Welcome to the latest edition of our popular “Can You Top This?” column, featuring the newest entry in the Service Industry News “Horror File. ”

This issue’s entry comes to us from Christina Gravino of Rix Pool & Spa, in East Hanover, New Jersey.

“Went out for a drain & acid wash for a pool that has been closed for 5 years and surprise! Look at those roots!”

Thank you, Christina. Strange to see how the branches from the tree look similar to the mossy stuff growing underneath. It almost looks as though what is growing through the pool are tree roots.

At Service Industry News, we would rather go behind the scenes and take a closer look at the type of stuff our readers encounter everyday — cracked tiles, spaghetti plumbing, rats in heaters, cars in the pool, snakes in the plumbing, and more!

When you are out in the field and you see something that doesn’t look right, send us an email along with a picture and a brief description: Attention Horror File, serviceindustrynewscd@yahoo.com.
