5:39 that kind of witty humor is why i love the channel Drain Cleaning Australia. "Well.guys, if you've never been showered in shit, this is what it's all about"
This reminds me of when we moved into our house in 1983. We are on a septic tank system, the previous owners were one old 80 year old and her daughter, we were in our 30's, very active taking loads of showers etc. After about a year we noticed not everything was draining away properly. I went to a hardware store and bought a drain rod clearing system. The inspection chamber was just outside our back door, the septic tank was 25 yards away. We used brightly coloured toilet tissue and I started rodding, we noticed a slow discharge from the septic tank inspection chamber. It was coming out like what happens when a toothpaste tube with thick toothpaste is pressed very hard, the output is very slow. This slow output of shit with old white toilet paper was difficult not to watch, the output once started was not about to stop. The garden slopes away from the house and the output of the pipe was coming out of the inspection chamber onto the grass. The output speed started very slowly but was increasing, it was almost hypnotic as the speed increased as the stuff started to move down the garden like a huge anaconda slithering over the grass. The white tissued snake turned to a coloured tissue writhing at increasing speed down the garden. The snake eventually started to bundle up as it reached a mound in the garden, the output stopped and I breathed a sigh of relief. This was a Sunday and I just didn't know what to do!!! I decided to just leave it, go to work the next few days and revisit the problem after this period for a way to tackle the 'cleanup'. The strange thing was that after 3 days, most of the detritus had vanished, I couldn't work this out, just accepted it. I fixed the reason for the initial blockage and the septic tank worked fine till now.
At around 6:40 it shows a large amount of trash from a collection point being released into a river. Shouldn’t the trash be removed at the collection point?
Yes it should. Unfortunately it never happens. It's way worse in sme countries, like that was nothing compared to the worst places like India and China
When I bought my house, I had to unclog the shower drain. I got a couple of those yellow drain cleaners. Worked great. Just keep cutting off the end as you use it, instead of trying to get the clog off the tool.
As a contractor this is common for us, beavers clogging 4’ diameter sluce pipes, root clogs all the way to the street, flushable wipes, (never flush them), and the very worst, frozen sewer lines that are full and solid, we just sawed out sections and slid out the entire plug, turds, paper and everything else, and recouped, (actually better when it’s frozen)…others that had rust so thick that nothing would pass, and improperly install drains that had to be completely reworked, full of mud and rock…endless and always waiting, most often it’s installation or execution issues….
By the way, to save yourself the trouble of a blocked hose pipe. Make sure you don't leave water in it. Unplug the end that is attached to tap. Then hold the top end up and let it drain out the bottom end until it is completely empty. Now you will have no clogging in it of ice
I wonder if the very bottom of that sludge in the Dam contained gold? Like from the river its holding back.. in a gold bearing area, that'd be totally possible 🤔
The pipe at 4:00 looks like a pond overflow drain, clogged with mud & algae. Whoever placed that large rock in front of the outlet was way out to lunch. The easiest solution is for the pipe end to be cut off at 45 degrees, downward & away from the rock, to allow solids more room to pass freely.
