I’d love you to record the telling off you give the customers for using wipes! 😁. And you should charge double when it’s a wipes blockage. Then double again again if it happens a second time!

[@radarspics]

people using wipes are paying for my plumbers new jet ski. Why talk yourself out of a pay day?

[@RespectfullyReal]

That’s the most ridiculous thing I’ve heard! Why would they tell off the customer who is paying their salary and buying wipes that state on the package “biodegradable” ?! Wouldn’t a more reasonable idea be to file a class action lawsuit against the manufacturer of the wipes? They’re scamming the public and costing them a fortune. These wipes are most commonly used by young children and the elderly, who are blissfully unaware of the damage it can cause, much like myself until recently. I stumbled upon a media report on the topic that brought me to KZbin. If it wasn’t for that I would have continued to buy them for my kids. It’s not common place for people to watch plumbing videos.

[@clairep8225]

@@RespectfullyReal the most ridiculous thing? Really? 🙄. A class lawsuit is pretty stupid!

[@englishruraldoggynerd]

@@RespectfullyReal With you 100% ….. in America a class action lawsuit by an environmental group would be great. They truly are horrendously bad for the planet. Of course, some people would need them, but they have been marketed as a replacement for paper for everyone, and have had false advertising put on the packaging.

[@Yackhammer75]

@@RespectfullyReal Just because it says biodegradable doesn't mean in the next 5 minuets. It might degrade but take a few years. And most of the wipe say right on them not to flush. Perhaps read the pkg and research how long it takes to degrade.

I live in the US, state of Mississippi, formally Virginia. Don't know what your "wipes" are/made of, but our toilet paper comes on a roll 1 thick or 2 thick. Tiny squares about 3"" x3"". Growing up flushed. Rare to stop it up. As I moved out on own, I rented for years before getting my own place. We never flushed. Put in a trashbag lined waste basket and took to trash area once or twice a week when trash was collected. Now I do same as I did then. Just take household bathroom trash to can at road for pickup. In 10 years no toilet backup. Some sink backup, but easily taken care of before allowed to get this bad. Gavin keep up the great work.

These are like those Charmin wipes, not regular toilet paper

Looks like someone needs to make an automatic rewind device for the hose spool to keep it from tangling, kinda like an electric winch. Or try moving the spool farther away from where you're working so the hose falls on the ground instead of on the spool.

Hopefully when the owner sees all that coming out of there and he gets the bill will stop using wipes or put them in the garbage where they belong in the bathroom. 👍👍😀🇨🇦

[@janboll7174]

What sized 'bags' are you talking about: 1 qt, 1 gallon? // I had to check up wipes (flush-able wipes which are meant to be used in the toilet): "Do wipes block toilets? In your home. Flushed wipes will eventually gather in your pipes which will stop your toilet from flushing correctly, potentially resulting in sewage backing up into your home through your toilet. If the blockage occurs on a section of pipe you are responsible for, it can leave you with an expensive mess to get fixed." So, unless you put them in the trash (yuck) it seems best not to use them.

[@oni1st]

Good lord what kind of wipes do you use in Australia? Those look like cleaning cloths. Wipes here in N. America are 4x6 inches and cause trouble too.

[@kevtris]

was that a pen in that ball of wipes or an "applicator" maybe? it looks like a blue pen cap on a pen. the pipe joins looked like they had some gaps, so maybe that got stuck in the pipe and then the wipes backed up after it causing the clog?

[@penetratorblockeddrains]

I didn’t see a pen when I cleaned up.

[@kevtris]

@@penetratorblockeddrains at 22:22 in the video, it's visible in the pile of wipes, light blue. appears to be a complete marker/pen, the blue cap and a white body.

[@MrKelaher]

My wife use to work at a Sewage Treatment Plant. Wipes are a huge issue in the whole system all the way to its end - the screens in the STP get clogged up with wipes too, often the oil+wipe combo. Wipes should be banned unless the packets say "DO NOT FLUSH EVER" in big red print ! Sadly some manufactures push back, and continue to call their dodgy wipes "flushable" - none are, zero, zip, nada ! Bin-em people, FFS.

I do not know why people think they can use multiple wipes in place of toilet paper and expect it to go down the toilet.
