Watching your videos I'm learning how many kind of situations may happen when a drain is blocked, I hope these informations one day will be useful to me in life.
@@hankbridges5055 that water jetting will clear a drain way better that the device your talking about as his set up litterally can cut through tree roots. and so what if it filthy? they make soap and water to wash up with you tell your auto mechanic his job is filthy cause he's elbow deep in grease from your car? smh
I am waiting for the time something grabs his white gloved arm and starts pulling him down. What a great start to the movie “The Plumber Down Under, Blocked Drain Killer” when the drains revolt!
@7:32 you have all 3 mighty "Avengers" in one frame. The Glove of Love, Bucket of Bravery and last but not least : THE SHOVEL OF sHENANIGANS ! But thats not all........ they guarded by the 3 Pylons of fearless defense.
After seeing that Drain Scope video, if I were the structure Owner, I'd look at what the Building Plans (Always on file with the city if I didn't have a copy of my own) to see what the Drains are Supposed to be connected to and if the Plans show they're NOT supposed to end in the ground under the slab, I'd arrange for someone to run a tree root cutter through the drain and see if that opens the drain up. If the Drain actually does just end in earth and it isn't supposed to, then I'd call a Lawyer and Sue the Builder and the Owner of the Builder's Company (assuming they're not the same person) for Breach of Contract, Negligence AND ALL the costs incurred with redoing the Drains so they connect with what the Building Plans say they're supposed to... I'd also Sue the City Building Inspector that OKed the Drain installation and Closed the associated Building Permits because his/her Incompetence just cost me major money!
Agree with Op. Suppose you want to sell the property some day. If it's not up to code then you would have to pay to get everything fixed up. In the US you also have environmental groups that think you are poisoning the planet with drains that just go into the earth to dump the waste.
I wish you would look at the camera and smile so we can see this gentleman whom we admire so very much. 😎 UT-OH.......It's the double barrel! Yippee! 😂
Well assuming that it doesn't carry any human waste in it, then this would be allowed. Since the idea behind a storm drain is to release the water back into nature this setup seems fine although they probably should've extended the pipe network to run off to a better area.
TIM from Canada here is a suggestion for you when you were cleaning out your areas you should always put plastic tarp down next to your area it is easier to clean it up for tarp and dump it back in to the sewer and it is to wash up cement and have it all over the place just a suggestion do not know if you have dollar stores where you are or you can go to your nearest building supply store and get a cheap tarp to put down a plastic curb should not cost you too much.
The little stormwater drain that couldn't. They'll be happy to have that 10 gallons of buffer capacity back. I can't tell if during Covid was a good opportunity for them to run that line somewhere. Happy Boxing Day 2020.
A soak away drain is fine, but which numb nut built it under the foundation? At least run the pipe to the outside and put the soakaway somewhere that can be dug up when it eventually clogs with sediment.
Ever completely deep clean the long glove or just rinse it off? I can’t imagine the staggering amounts of filth, disease and bacteria that is caked on your equipment and in your vehicle.
I think the bachteria and decease health association ask drain addict- what they can do to make this guy sick.. Those little bastards must be pissed of all the time..🕳🐸⚠️😂
Thank you for informative and often very entertaining videos. Perhaps you could benefit from metre markers on your pressure hose and also from a flat nozzle for final clean up at end of job. Perhaps you patent the access plug you cut into the porcelain S bend.
@@alex-marquette It's really a bad idea to drain water under a foundation. You'll erode the soil and cause the foundation to eventually start failing from the soil shifting and loss. It won't happen overnight, but the effects can be seen in as short as a few years depending on the amount of water going under the foundation. It should have been connected to the sewer or a stormwater drain (also often connected to the sewer.)
Another drain problem caused by poor design. This drain probably gets a high load in storms, apparently has a soakaway under a premises and will inevitably suffer from sediment...
I'm not entirely sure you got all of this one. The pit seemed to go even deeper below the pipe you were clearing. There might have been another exit at the bottom that was completely buried.
you shuld get two wood boards in a slight angle - when you clean up after a job this could lead the whater into the drain instead of besides/above it makeing cleanup quicker and easier
@@hankbridges5055 says you and who are you to tell the man how to do his job? do you own his company? I doubt it! how about just sit back and stfu already.
When it comes to drains that are completely filled with stuff like that (be it soil, dirt, fat etc.) are there really no better ways of getting it out than a shovel and bucked? Like some kind of water pressure driven excavator or something.
Well you have a bunch of copy-cat drain cleaners trying to cut into your fame. Well they will ever be able to out do the jobs that you do. Great work😷👍👍👍👍👍👍
nomebear ... what he cleans out is too soupy for a post hole / clam digger. There is a "basin shovel" made that is more like a scoop or gravy ladle that works well here, although most have a LONG handle for doing storm drains in the street. That is how they cleaned them years before that had vacuum trucks
What do you do with the dirt you collect in buckets, if you clean it for things like gold or diamonds, make videos of that, would be very fun to watch.
It's in a civilian parking structure with an average max. vehicle height of 6'6"-8'0", vacuum trucks tend to be 11'0"+ tall...you'd never get one to the drain to suck it out and there's a limit to how far you can extend the suction hose and still have it work...
been a pipe fitter/ plumber 46 years. where i live parking lot drains not a contaminate. those drains have a dirt catch in them should be cleaned out at least 3 times a year if not more depending were you live, to get the dirt before it caused those problems. this drain seem to have more than just a simple back up clog
The Camera Guy is ALWAYS working hard in these videos...HE'S RUNNING THE CAMERA!!! And Editing the video, uploading the video, wiping the lens off when Drain Addict splashes it, holding a flashlight so Drain Addict (and the rest of us) can see what he's doing, changing camera batteries when they run out, swapping Memory Cards when they fill up, etc... Need I go on?
