I would suggest they replace the tile floor with a glass/plexi glass floor. So you could wave your little turd ship "Bon Voyage" every time!. As an added bonus, you could also comment on those reluctant to leave the little bay area.
I bet the pipe loop he pulled out of it once was installed in the floor as a gas barrier, but they hammered it out for acces. I bet they will be replacing it very soon given the nature of its purpose.
This one definitely required a bit more explanation…I can’t even imagine how a home owner could live with that type of set up. It didn’t even drain well while he was flushing the manhole with the jetter! That has got to the smelliest home on the block! Crazy!
I'm thinking that trap system that Ollie pulled out of the hole was the trap for the floor drain to block odors from coming up. A lot of work needed there.🍺🍺
I noticed the paper he put down the toilet went to the side and stuck to the wall, have to imagine that in a week of use there's going to b poop stuck to that wall as well
I would think that that floor drain vent should have a U bend added to the bottom of it to stop odors (ETA- ahha- there it is, lying at the bottom... that would work well- NOT!!!)- if it is just a drain cover, man would that bathroom stink (especially after a night on the curry LOL) ETA- Hard to tell, but I am thinking that was originally a septic system (that whole thing would have been the tank), the outlet pipe would have been fitted with a vertical standpipe at one point and led to a trench... since converted to town sewerage then an extension covered the old tank??? Definitely a weird setup for sure...
That reminded me of the first Austin Powers movie where every time they thought he was done taking a piss he just kept going. I was starting to think it was some type of cross dimensional sewer line connected to every toilet in existence.
3:56 Evacuation com... He begins PEEING again. A little LONGER. Then in short staccato BURSTS. The it STOPS. Pause. Two DRIPS. FEMALE ANNOUNCER Evacuation... (waiting) Complete! The cryogenic state of Austin Powers is now completed.
Me: “You know you don’t need to put your hand in the sewage without good reason?’ Ollie: “But Croc, Magpie and Ratty want some corn.” Me: “OK, Fair enough.”
Of all the sketchy Australian plumbing I’ve seen on this channel, and there’s been a lot, this has to be one of the worst. One good thing, Ollie will never be out of work down there 👍
Hey guys, never been happier than seeing this week adventure with team Ollie, but never yet seen a drain access point in a bathroom in front of the toilet
Sitting on the throne and looking down the "manhole" with "Richard the thirds" & bog roll floating around, beneath my feet would put me off my stride! I think that the plumbing situation needs to be sorted, the smell must be awful!
I had nightmare that there was 17 drains & all for nothing. When you remove the lids, its all leads to something like in this video; an underground hellhole of clumps & grimes & hellish shit 17 holes for nothing
I cannot imagine the horrible smell from that pit. How sad for the apt. dweller. Thank you so much for fixing and cleaning it and for your videos. Lots of love to Ratty, Croc and Magpie. I miss the Rat King but he must be in school again.
Standards of plumbing in Oz are always entertaining but this was a CLASSIC. Reminded me of the scene when Austin Powers came out of suspended animation and took his first whizz.... evacuation comp.... comppp... complete!
Spare s trap stowed in the cesspit, lol. I suspect that trap was for the floor drain really, and that's what the design relied on to keep sewer gases out before the drain was torn up for access. It's still awful, though.
Your guys do things different down under. Plumber from N.W. US here, I enjoy not only your videos, but technique and differences in plumbing... Cheers buddy
Just amazing how long the waste water flowed when you cleared the boundary trap. That's a lotta poo! I wonder what Audrey Hepburn thinks of her view of the cesspit?
This was one of the most satisfying releases of backed up sewage yet. It just kept going. Great work as always, Ollie. I bet that bathroom always smells like an outhouse, that is the worst design I think ai have seen.
4yo grandson addicted to this channel, he managed to turn off the tap, took the lid off the drain, put my hose in and dropped his torch and toy down the drain. No drain addict for a week.
@@hotdonuts2508 ive been here since episode 8, and it's awesome that your grandson is doing something constructive! (well, giving it a go on drain cleaning, lol!!)
Ollie, you sound exhausted...I hope you get some well needed rest. Stay safe during these times. Bless you and your work from the states! Stay safe brotha!
Todays video was a real treat! I turned 40 on August 11th, so i sort of take it as a late birthday present from downunder. Thanks Ratti, thanks Magpie, thanks Croc, thanks Mouse Man and ofcourse thanks Ollie! Greetings from Switzerland
Finally figured out why my notifications weren't coming through to my phone. Now I get to enjoy Ollie's adventures so much earlier. Thank you for another video Ollie!
What a terrible and dangerous plumbing design. And you get the concrete's rebar sticking out to remind you not to put your hand in there as well... You're very brave!
It’s not Australian sewer design. It’s an illegal extension built over a patio or something and they have just hacked something together. Then they’ve made it worse by opening up the floor vent and removing the trap. If the authorities knew about it, they would take action.
This would be from some dodgy DIY renovations from the 50s/60s when you could do what you want. The Building and Plumbing Codes in Australia are very strict and highly regulated. Unfortunately its very hard to apply to existing ‘legacy’ monstrosities like this unless new works are triggered
My goodness! It just kept coming! I felt like I was watching Frank Drebin in the bathroom scene of the "Naked Gun" movie!! All I needed to hear was a bit of a tune sung and a bit of gas at the end of it all and the likeness would have been complete!
dude, from a USA guy i feel like aussie drain systems are terrible, but i think that i can understand you only get called to worst case scenarios like a doctor or mechanic, at least i hope this is the truth
@@XxMeatShakexX Sewer gases is just like methane gas, it can be volatile enough to spark a flash fire or explosion, if there plenty of it there with the right air mixture to burn, plus sewer gas is not a healthy thing to have floating around in your home too.
dude thats a weird ass manhole in the floor of a bathroom. thats disgusting knowing that ur toilet just runs straight into a holding hole in the ground under the bathroom...with just a metal vent letting in all the stank
You Aussies have some weird and wonderful drainage systems, this is madness, the shit will lay in that manhole constantly. All the best from Scotland 🏴
I would have done cut that man hole to a large square hole and joined those two pipes or added a T junction for a floor drain /access point , then back fill with gravel. You could always make a mold with a pipe in the center with cement to make a lid.
