Magpie was there to tease us with the crossover we would all want lol. But he was just taking a day off with the family and happened to run into you 🤣😆 Great job on this one. For how much had to get done, you still made it seem quick

@Bobal27 2 года назад

For the job it was, that was FAST. Investigation, dig up and repair, clearing, magnet pull, pressure wash, all in under (probably) 45 minutes? Maybe an hour, if that? That… was a heckuva job. 👏 👏, Gavin.

I think connecting the pipe will make a huge difference. lol. But that open gutter at the end of the pipe in the yard will always collect leaves that will need cleared. Some sort of grate on top would really help……

@cherylmack1260 2 года назад

You know someone stuck that rebar in there to try to clear the drain and lost hold of it. It's a shame they didn't know their pipe was busted before hand. It would have saved you some time by going directly to it. Great job of solving the mystery of the blocked drain. I'm looking forward to the day you find another favorite toy. Thanks for keeping on producing these vids.

@daleharvey3142 2 года назад

Waw it just shows poor and shoddy work always and eventually comes to light, imagine all the actual effort that was put in the time it was dug and laid and all for a 2 to 3 foot piece of pipe it failed again and again but now the PENETRATOR has been and shook his hose at it the problem shouldn’t happen again as long as the customer maintains it spring and fall, I couldn’t understand why there was no ROOTS or Toads or balls up in the pipe!!!! Love your work and hope mrs P is well and your family too, Dale all the way from Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿Great Britain 🇬🇧 you always sort or identify the customers blockages and fix or advise them what to do and leaving them to chose the next move, thanks for the educational viewing opportunity and your time, Dale

@brendonwood7595 2 года назад

That pipe was probably connected initially and then cut when work was done on the footpath. When they put the NBN in here they just cut our pipes and left them like that. By the time anyone noticed the contractors who did it were long gone...

This doesn’t surprise me at all, when we moved into our house 34 years ago they didn’t even put in the gutter connectors so the water had now where to go. I had to fix it.

Nice looking neighborhood, too bad the homes are so close together, no breathing room or privacy. 8:35 Sitting on a bucket or stool is what I do because of a back back from a fall at age 14 and car accident at age 28 (I wasn't driving), I can't stand too long or bend for too long or I'm in pain for hours after. 27:19 Looks like a length of rebar.

@ZoahPorre 2 года назад

As far as mending the pipe being the sole solution to the problem, it may have not been the main issue.... using a human as an example... a doctor wouldnt ignore a broken bone in a cancer patient..so obviously you wouldn't ignore that.

@debbiekalynuk4217 Год назад

Just a quick question, do you make recommendations to your client for regularly cleaning the drain path? Change the method of water collection closer to the house?

@tbecause4897 11 месяцев назад

I’m gonna take a WAG (wild ass guess) on this. Whoever came up short on pipe, likely, used a piece metal pipe or sheet tin to make the stretch

@waynejohnson1295 2 года назад

It's unfortunate that you had to stop the job and repair somebody else's work. These contractors these days just want the money for the job without completing the job that they were hired to do. But you did a great job on replacing that pipe.

There’s probably going to be a little less Magpie evidence left on the street now that those drains are connected! Good work Gavin! I’d be curious to run the camera up that natural spring drain. Even though it’s draining, I bet it’s got some roots in it from that palm tree.

Your handle should be down for pressure off not down for pressure on it’s safer that way because that way the pressure handle can’t accidentally be knocked down for pressure on

@MeepMeepFergie 2 года назад

I really enjoy watching your storm water videos. I Find the difference in code compliance interesting. I am a plumbing designer and there are several things that I have seen that would never pass in the region for which I design. Anyway, I am grateful to have found your channel. I really appreciate it when you state which videos are storm and which are sewer in the video title. I can't stomach the sewer videos (mostly due to the greasy waste) but I do "watch" them on my computer while I am doing something else. When I come back I click the like button and find another video to watch. It's the least I can do to help support your channel. Thank you for the great entertainment and education.

@penetratorblockeddrains 2 года назад

Thank you 😊 I appreciate the support and it’s great your line of work has an interest in this type of work

@MeepMeepFergie 2 года назад

@@penetratorblockeddrains Honestly, seeing some of the stuff you deal with I have started to rethink how I design a storm water systems. What you might find interesting is that all stacks (including storm water that go directly below grade) must have a clean-out at the base and no "T" junctions are not permitted. All 45s or wyes for storm, sewer, and condensate disposal. If a storm water stack is to discharge above grade then it has to be a minimum of 6" AFG and should have a splash block to protect the foundation (like those stay in place). No cleanout required for this situation. No point. I design systems for Florida, Georgia, Michigan, Texas, Mississippi, and other States but oddly, I don't live in any of those States. I used to but not anymore.

@hestheMaster 2 года назад

Surprise under the ground, a big section of drain was missing. Can't have been like that for 26 years? After fixing it , a jetting clean out front to the rear and removing a section of lost rebar, all is good.

@penetratorblockeddrains 2 года назад

Do you offer annual, bi-annual, or quarterly maintenance plans for storm water or sewer lines? Come by and run the camera up to see if anything needs to be cleaned out. If not, may be something to think about offering.
