They call those detention systems in my area. Depending on the size of the property, it has to hold a certain amount of water and only allow it to flow off the property through a 6 inch diameter pipe to avoid flooding the streets. It can take a day or two to flow out. Some places with sandy ground are required to have retention ponds where the water soaks into the ground instead of going into a storm sewer.
DA descends into the pit of slough by climbing down Jacob’s ladder (metaphorically speaking) and then clears up a two year blockage. Terrific work. Best channel on RU-vid! Cheers from South Florida.
It does help when the property actually keeps up with maintenance. Thats part of what him and the fellow tradies were talking about, all sorts of issues going on there, sewage included
Nice to see the CRS38 for a change Ollie I’ve missed that little jack of all trades 😂😂 yet another fascinating video. Thanks mate for the good work you do
Actually like the design of the system before it hits the main. When you get a gulleywasher, there’s some retention capacity so it doesn’t overwhelm the main. But the screen needs to be more accessible above ground. Slide gate style would work nicely. Good detective work, God’s blessings on you and your family!
Always, corn. The world could come to a fiery end and there would be only be cockroaches and corn left behind. This was an interesting job! Nice work, Ollie!
Reminds me when I travelled Europe one summer, we could smell sewerage from the stormwater drains. Apparently a lot of people still maintained underground septic tanks and instead of calling the sewerage trucks to empty them, they'd connect their tanks into the storm water drains. Every now and again the council or water company would smoke them out and fine them thousands of Euros. Walking the streets in 38 - 40 degree heat and smelling sewerage from the drains wasn't a pleasant thing.
You’ve got to do a video on how you get clean after a job like this! I wouldn’t want to get the van dirty! Also the risk of infections etc. but just cleaning all the tools and camera gear must be a job and a half too! Love the videos. 👍👍
If you had all day to do it, a little Ninja Turtle juice in every toilet one at a time might find out where the corn was coming from. The builder would be on the hook for an expensive repair bill. But out of sight, out of mind.
Interesting system of pits for drainage. Glad you could get it cleared, after it being blocked for 2 years!!! Thanks for the video! Stay safe! Blessings........
My roommate just got subwoofers in his car and I thought it was him in the garage just blaring them Turns out it was this video. I'm not mad, I'm actually impressed it picked up the low frequency and my headphones could reproduce it so well.
Yeah but what about the drains , Ollie ?! Were any of them blocked ? :D Still waiting for the Ollie/Bruce collab show. It's on my bucket list !! Straya's two best drain guys , East coast and west coast come together to fight the most blocked dunny ever !!!
When someone asks me why their vehicle, or mower, or tractor isn't running, I point at the carburetor and say- "BLOOKED DRAWN." with my finest knock-off Ollie accent. I get a kick out of it, at least.
drain clog solved.. no problem with you!! 💪💪💪💪💪 again good work ollie 💪💪don't give up!!! I follow you to all your videos. I'm from Quebec Canada 💪💪💪thank you for sharing with us!! all good 💪💪
I think they need to put in a bigger screen and put a long handle on it. The corn is the real evidence. It looks like the consumers don't chew it all. Another excellent job!!
That grille has a pretty tight mesh… that thing will clog up in no time if the maintenance crew don’t hose it off regularly. Nice work getting the flow back.
the mystery pipe whats blocking it another fun video love these the best lots water to move lot lovely sounds plus i get hear that jeter what could be better than the jetter
Hey Oliver, one of your long time followers here from Wichita Kansas. Just wondering if you or maybe the penetrator could look up Bruce the drain cleaning Australian and give him a few pointers. He's a young boy and I think he need some help He's just starting out. I'm sure you remember those days. I think he needs some pointers on thing like how to crawl on the ground and listening for his nozzle locate it Underground and not being scared of spiders and snakes and just get the job done. Seems like he doesn't want to move rubbish out of the way so he can find the nozzle underground and expect the owner to do it. It ends up having to come back later and do the job again. Also give him a few pointers on saving up money and get some better equipment. You know how that is when you first starting out you do what you can with what you got. Maybe show him how you work your way up to what the drain addict and the penetrator have now. Keep up the good work. Love your videos
