It’s sad that people would charge that much and not finish the job, but the Penetrator comes in and does the job. Great job sir.

@KaiHenningsen Год назад

I wonder how one would finish that job without a camera to know what one is doing. I expect they jetted a hole through that pipe so it could drain, and called it done, because they simply couldn't see what was still in there, and so it promptly closed up again.

@chriswoodboogernelson2395 Год назад

@@KaiHenningsen might have, but they should have had a camera to properly gotten the job done.

@KaiHenningsen Год назад

@@chriswoodboogernelson2395 Another video in the last 24h prompted me to research cameras like that ... I found out they were significantly cheaper than I expected.

@davethorsen8538 Год назад

Who runs a business like that. $ 750 for that and they dont even put a cam down to see what going on . Just becouse it dropped dosnt mean its cleared. They should give him a full refund.

@rickthelian2215 Год назад

I’ve heard them on jobs stick the camera down we’ll charge them another $200

@darrenw2803 Год назад

i agree dave...it looked like the other company did nothing but knock a tiny holeand the water drained off but left the cause of the blockage in place

Or at least pick up gavins bill

@mechanictaft4848 Год назад

Yea if it keeps getting blocked there is more problem way down line it needs a liner .bro you look helpless with those garbage repair couplers .so I'm gonna guess over there you don't know what a CLEAN OUT IS??? Also wtf with the janky plumbing must be Aussies thing

I feel bad for the tenants, the landlord and definitely for you 😢. Be safe out there. Nice sound effect 😅

@williamkennison8920 Год назад

Good morning Gavin, "maybe they have a different level of service" gotta love that tongue in cheek way of telling them off. Hey with service like that keeps you and the crew in business. Soon TO is going to need his own UTE. Not to mention your kids.

@slc1161 Год назад

Can I make a suggestion? Go to your orange big box store. Pick up a few lids in different sizes. Cut a small hole in the center with a slit through to the edge. Instant cover for tight areas. No more trying to block small holes with your foot.

@penetratorblockeddrains Год назад

Great idea

@MJJR247 Год назад

@Penetrator We call them jim caps here in the states, I have different sizes but usually jetting 4 in, so I just cut an X in the center of the rubber cap secure it to the pipe and send the hose thru the cut, it keeps a decent seal to limit splash while not damaging your hose👌

@tinkeringtaylor3053 Год назад

That is ridiculous that the other company leaving a job like that and charging $750 and its extra for the camera inspection thats a rip off, well done Gavin thats what i call ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐service you have done for that customer 👏🏻👏🏻👍

@scottgm321 Год назад

The other plumber has already spent the $750 at the bar/pub waiting for this customer to call back. Stolen money doesn't last long. Great job Gavin. Thanks for the video and Merry Christmas.

@rcsendandblast1579 Год назад

This is exactly what we are dealing with. The town I live in is small and we have what 2 plumbers I believe. Neither of them will help me in dealing with this simple problem for myself. And yes I have almost everything for my own jetting system. The plumbers say here a jetter will damage my old terracotta style drains. I don’t think so seems how they just keep coming back once or twice a year with a huge drain snake. They never once have used a snake and do not approve of me using my own. And won’t even help me figure out any of the parts to set up my jetting machine so I have to seek out RU-vid and learn it for myself 😅 Thank you for your teaching’s all these vids sure help me to learn so I can save my drains from the big old snake 😎🤘

@JP-lz3vk Год назад

Did those other plumbers turn up wearing stetsons and chaps by any chance?

@sweetpeaz61 Год назад

If my biz was clearing drains I would use a camera exactly like you do..its a tool, it improves he job you do making everything more efficient and absolutely leaves no doubt for the customer of the quality of your work and any issues with the drain...pricingcamerawork seperately is dumb in my view, the camera will more than for pay itself with the increase in reputation for quality work it brings and the ollow on repeat custom..

@cephasrodgers9417 Год назад

Another GREAT job Gavin. Looks like those mentoring days in Sydney have taught you a few worthwhile techniques. I am glad I had Ollie jet my stormwater line as I was also getting stupid quotes with “all care and no responsibility” from other plumbers. Ollie sorted it quickly and efficiently, just like you did in this video. Merry Christmas to you and the family

@purplerunner1715 Год назад

Some are in it for the money, and a lot of times end up going bust, others are there to do the job, and rarely runs out of work and money to be earned from it.

@roadmonitoroz Год назад

Reminds me of a bond cleaning business I hired. $500 + . At the end of the day I went there and was seriously disappointed. I spent over 3 hours cleaning after them plus had to pay a professional another $250 to finish up as I ran out of time.

@-.-4 Год назад

Camera work is cool!

@nanny23 Год назад

Great job, Gavin! I would be calling the owner of that company and requesting a refund! That’s crazy them wanting more to put a camera down the pipe. I think that all plumbers should. That way you have proof of what you did or didn’t do!

@brianwebb6310 Год назад

They must have used an extremely small nozzle to leave so many roots.Charging $750 what a joke ,should go to small claims court.

@darylb4814 Год назад

How would they know that it needed to be dug up and removed, if they never used a camera to see what was wrong?

@penetratorblockeddrains Год назад

I asked the same question

@stevesantiago9660 Год назад

Like a lot of other people I've run into, why run the camera when digging it up for thousands more would be better for their pockets. When I did vinyl siding I had the home owner and the general contractor come in and inspect where the current construction crew was using an offshoot room wall as a urinal. The smell was horrendous and would permeate the walls later. Needless to say the general contractor had them rip out the studs and plywood and redo it. After they were done he fired them.

@xxBlazinBobxx Год назад

Job well done, sir. It's a shame the other plumbing company didn't take pride in their work. No one likes to feel like they've just flushed their $750 down the sewer for nothing. Merry Christmas to you and yours!

Hello Penetrator and Mrs. "Here he comes to save the day" That will help them till they can get the work on those pipes done. Great. Merry Christmas!

@4englishlies875 Год назад

Great job Gavin, I hope you lent the film out to the customer so he could show the big dog at that other place how he was ripped off. And they should be reported if that is a thing there. IDK I'm in the U.S. so their are different methods for this type of thing. But great job none the less!!

A camera should be commonplace , not only helps you do your job better but also show the customer you're doing your job to a higher standard (ie: actually complete the job)

@stevenolsen6360 Год назад

is there a product you recomend to treat roots, like foaming root killer?

@kimberlymorgan7629 Год назад

I have a question. I'm from America so I'm not sure how y'all's laws go. I know it's an issue here if your sewage leaks into the ground. There are so many roots in that pipe. Dang near every join has roots coming in. Isn't that leaking an awful lot of sewage into the ground? Again, not being a jerk, just trying to understand. Honestly though, you're the best! I love watching you because you go above and beyond for your customers. I love watching trades people who do their jobs right and care about their reputation and their customers!

@garrettstitt5489 Год назад

If you are a modern day plumber and you don’t employ a camera in your arsenal of tools to help evaluate your work to the customer for free… you are in the wrong business. And you will loose out future bids to those who do-- like my man here. Tell them to open a KickRocks Factory instead, Gavin.

@cheryleking6543 Год назад

Hi Gavin, Dont think that was cleared 4 days ago!!!! There are some shonky workers out there.. The owner should name and shame them.. Money doesnt grow on trees or maybe for these aholes it does 😡.

How does the root cutter work? What does it actually do to cut the roots? Are there blades in it, does it cut with water jets, or how does it physically work? I'm a complete know-nothing at this, and I'm just curious.

@penetratorblockeddrains Год назад

High pressure water does the cutting of the roots.

@daniellanning115 Год назад

It looks like the pipe underground is more than one single long pipe and they weren't connected together like they should have been. That's why the roots are coming through cuz where they should have been connected aren't!!

@HappilyHomicidalHooligan Год назад

Based on this recording, if I were you, I'd be telling my friend to call the other company and demand a Refund...he spent $750.00 for a shit job...if they don't give him at least $650.00 back, he should Sue... No drain should be blocked 4 days after a competent company unblocked it since they really should have found out WHY it blocked in the first place and removed it or told him to get a crew in to dig it up and repair it if the pipe was broken or separated at a joint... They apparently didn't do that and thus didn't properly do what they were Hired to do...
