Love the rubber duck 🙂

[@vickeyedwards8830]

Wide awake in Texas. 3am and I'm watching drain blockers. Cant sleep and I'm hooked on jam and the crew. Lol you guys rock

[@jetter1jem955]

👍👍👍

[@vickeyedwards8830]

Sorry gang I did mean Jim and his merry men. I love you guys have a great day

@ VICKEY Edwards hi from central Texas & I’m also wide awake watching these great vids ✋

[@vickeyedwards8830]

@@karenheartoriginal3783 good morning girlfriend what are we doing. Lol its entertainment for me lol. They are so original and enjoy their job. I work in less crappie and don't enjoy it as much. 😂😂😂 we won't worry about it we'll just keep watching those guys and be happy. Have a great week.

[@mrlister2000]

That first job. If I was the owners I'd be getting the builders back in, to put the slope they have created pointing the other way, to get water away from the house because that is a damp issue waiting to happen. I'd also be asking them to find the Interceptor they've cemented over!

[@SqualidsargeStudios]

Some “builders” are just extremely incompetent, and one should wonder why those types are still having that job.

[@JOECorsoNova]

4:00am in USA! Don’t know why I’m awake but at least there is a good video to watch!!

[@roblaycock9540]

Never mind the drains look at that throw back to the 1980s ted Ford Escort 3 door estate at the beginning!!! What a motor!

Andy what happened about the first drain with the ducky . As you just went on to the next drain .

[@itwasthecatsfault5422]

A lazy Sunday morning watching the drain unblockers with a brew!!! 👍 🐥

[@horrortackleharry]

Love it when you get the ears-blocked effect from the camera being splashed, followed by eventual relief of audio clearance!

[@simeonruck9131]

Nice to see the duck made it unto a video great job Andy as always by the Mersey rod team

[@bostedtap8399]

That Duck was getting too personal Andy. LOL. Great job

1:03AM here in the US in m state! Glad I could be here, I’m almost to the end of watching ALL of your guys videos after been being on a binge hahah!! Good ‘shot’ brothers!

Thanks Ray 👍👍

[@alicebellamio5491]

I like to watch draining, so therapeutic!!

[@LindaSmith-rh4fi]

So glad the duck could help 😂😂

[@margreetanceaux3906]

There’s knowledge, experience, common sense, perseverance - and in the end you still need to be clairvoyant, to see through a concrete floor. And left handed.

[@karenheartoriginal3783]

Wow that gusher!! Is ducky still guarding the first one lol 😂. I love these "day in the life" vids…never know what we’re going to get to see. Thanks all.

[@patoverend7395]

You do know Andy that the broom given to you by jem was given to him by trigger....🤣🤣

[@okaylumberjack]

Very satisfying that last job Andy, especially after watching the struggles you had with the first three. As the others are saying, please do a follow up on the first job.

[@oermama]

Wondering how the first one is going to be handled, or did you leave it up to the duck to take care of it? Why do you use your hand to grab into the gully’s to get stuff out? You might grab into something sharp. There are special grabbers for this. Love your video’s 👍

[@tonipeters4543]

The "special grabber" you speak of is called a gully grab, Jem has said he will get one after his holiday, he has been back from his hols for a long time, do we see a gully grab ? no Shame on you Jem

[@Maciejowicz]

back lane on the 1st trip is amazing, lovely are, with locals caring for the area.

[@mizmoney8096]

Like I always say I love the multi video I'm a plumber in Philadelphia PA keep doin it bro 👍👍👍💪💪💪👌👌👌✌️✌️✌️

I bet that broom is still the original one despite having 14 new heads and 7 new handles 😂😂

My brother was a plumber, when people say "but they say wipes are flushable", he would reply "yeah, so are wedding rings and false teeth".

Dave is the best!

[@soo43854]

I find it curious that the duck always ended up between Andy's legs. I think the duck is in love with Andy or he was trying to stop Andy from emptying the water in the yard. Choose !

[@TheAgwarn]

Wow, that old Ford Escort at the beginning!

[@martingodber6320]

It’s about time that wipes should be banned from being supplied as people are not responsible enough to dispose of them correctly!

[@aidy1162]

And put all these company’s out of business 🤩🤩💩💩💩

[@scooopable]

Oh trust me, to get a company out to do this for you is freaking expensive. Maybe, just maybe, it will tell them that maybe they should reconsider what they flush down.

[@smasica]

My wife uses wipes responsibly. She keeps a small waste basket with a plastic liner next to the stool and just drops them in when she's done with it. Nothing goes in the toilet except human waste and toilet paper. All she needs to do is pull out the liner, tie a knot in the top, and put it in the outside garbage bin when it needs to be emptied. People are plain lazy and stupid. You can buy a cheap diaper bucket and liners for about $10-$20 instead of paying ten times that for an unblocking. In our area of the U.S., the cheapest main line unblocking I've seen advertised is $95. It goes UP from there.

[@vintagegamer7027]

And ban companies calling their wipes "flushable" until that is actually true

[@scottgm321]

There’s lots of people who aren’t responsible with their automobiles, alcohol, and many other things. Can’t run around Bambi g everything when the common denominator is human.

[@FreeSpirit44]

Another great video from the drain dream team - did you ever try the turning the left-handed glove inside out to make a right-handed one? As for the concreted over manhole, I wonder whether a simple metal detector, even a kids one, could help to detect where it is, just a thought. Keep 'em coming guys. 👍

[@1969Kismet]

Now there's an idea! I'd never have thought of turning a left-hand glove inside out to make it a right-hand one. Genius idea! Same goes for the metal detector.

[@marksaunders2500]

Hi from Durham guys 👋 👍 and some cracking jobs here 👌 you must feel slightly dissatisfied on the ones you can help like the first job tho lol and that one at 13 and half mine what jem had done before I thought you where gonna get it like as never seen you do knock test on stack and thought the way was slightly squirting it might be packed but slightly blocked at hole and I seriously though oh no he's gonna get it here 🙈 but all in all hoid Job pal thanks for your time be safe and see you soon 👍 👋

Great video Jetter 2, I'd go as far to say it was a quacker

Andy. I’ve got a GoPro mount you can have. I think it’s called a gorilla pod, I’ll drop it in the unit on Monday

What was that you used to wrap around the drain pipe? I just found your channel today. It's so satisfying to watch, and you seem like lovely chaps!

[@no1hdwelady]

Love the duck!

[@macbitz]

Job #1 looked really difficult and the homeowner was clearly dismayed, so it was a master stroke to deploy the duck in order to lift the homeowner's mood 😄 Incidentally, would love to know what happens with that flood - are they going to get Jem and Warren in?

[@gregbushman319]

What happened? The first episode stops! Did you get it to flow?

Great, a Mersey Rod video before Sunday lunch!! Is Edd the Duck going to be a full time member of the team or is he on probation? Thanks for the squirty soil stack and full face splash Andy, that made my day!!

Another top job well done jetter 2Andy a superb video how much an hour is the Duck earning lol.

[@bobchamp3159]

As someone who live in America, i never understood why they have open trenches and pits/wells where septic/sewage runs through your yard/garden, as you call it... Here our systems are closed off except for roof top vents. I can just imagine the smells you must get near you doorways 😢. Also our plumbing runs threw the house and directly below forst line, no outdoor exposed drains.

[@vulcathene]

22:40 looks like the branch is lead into cast iron, looking past the paint. lead tends to get dented or mishapen or stress. They'd be a caulking bush aka brass ferrule into the cast iron socket.

[@thomascoyne157]

Very good volg 👍👍👍👍

[@rkeirle1]

Videos are really good but the sound quantity is sometimes really poor. I would suggest that to make the sound quality match the video quality you might invest in lapel microphone’s as often with you moving around the it’s just a mumbled sound we hear. Keep the videos coming lads.

[@samuelfellows6923]

That is the camera’s microphone being splashed

[@rkeirle1]

@@samuelfellows6923 the comment about the microphone/sound quality was mentioned as a constructive comment. I watch all the videos on an I pad and it seems to me that it’s when they are moving about and face away from the go pro that the quality drops, this happens even on videos on repairs where no water is present. If they feel that my comment is unjustified, then they need to ignore it.

[@markmurphy3578]

Someone needs to explain what that wet stuff falling out of the sky is!

[@barneykennett9282]

Nice...👍.

[@julieb9478]

Perhaps the duck showed there was a flow of water to the gulley, although I couldn't see any reduction in the level - maybe the customer could get the builders back to rectify the blockage?

[@rscosworth15]

16:45 vindaloo time 🤣

[@jamiekatz7591]

Ok, I'm still confused on the first drain. Why couldn't you drop the water?

[@markitg1972]

Couldn't get the nozzle past the blockage and there was no option to come in from the other direction because some genius had covered the access points over with concrete.

[@yvonfem]

I wouldnt be impreseed with you on the first one just getting off and leaving the customer in the shit so to speak did you charge him for the call out

[@ehkyaw6912]

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 good Job 👍🏻

MilwaukeeUS sells a hole saw extension to get you farther away from the soil stack, I don’t know if MilwaukeeUK offers it

[@JOECorsoNova]

Jetter II, what was the product you patched the pipe with? Never saw such a thing.

[@ss17892002]

Well, at least the duck was clean!

[@chrisharris5497]

Jem, can I ask how the worm jetter works in term of movement? You would think that with the pressure it fires the jet out you would assume the head would want to push backwards away from the jet but the opposite occurs, I'm no physics master but is this witchcraft? Have a great week next week lads.

[@mrlister2000]

There is a hole at the front of the nozzle, but also a series of holes at the back of it too. Water at 3000psi, is forced through the front of the nozzle to blast a hole through the blockage (like drilling a hole in wood for eg), whilst the jets at the back force the nozzle along the pipe, through the hole created by the "worm" and once through it then forces the blockage backwards and out of the pipe. Does that make sense?

[@chrisharris5497]

@@mrlister2000 yeah that makes absolute sense bud, so theoretically the pressure behind the head is greater than the front which forces it forward, extremely clever and thanks for the clarification bud, enjoy the rest of your Sunday mate 👍

[@mrlister2000]

@@chrisharris5497 It's a very simple but effective design! Water at a high enough pressure can actually cut through steel!

[@nickhill2223]

Small jets like these Van Packs will probably only have rear facing jets, which blast the water backwards against the walls of the pipes, thus propelling the jetting head forward. (Similar principle to a rocket, but with water.) They're designed for 'popping' blockages and cleaning of small diameter pipework. If you move up to the serious stuff, lorry mounted jetters, you are talking higher pressures and much more flow, with a wider variety of nozzles available for serious cleaning of bigger pipework. Rootcutter, spinning jets and the 'Warthog' can carry out some serious cleaning, but are equally able to cause serious injury if care isn't taken in operation!

[@mrlister2000]

@@nickhill2223 the one Mersey Rod use has a hole at the front, the worm part, and jets at the back to force to along. Andy and Jem have explained in the past the principle behind the nozzles they use. Ingenious little devices which do a great job!

[@chibbeee]

Do you ever use the camera in the drain, to find out was is causing things to get hung up? If you do please show us. It's nice to see what the actual causes are

[@devinecatlady]

Yes they do but not as a standard thing. When I've seen them use the camera it seems to be when they're expecting some displacement or roots.
