Blocked Drain 144 - Muddy Storm Water Unclog & Repair

[@pizzamane4701]

When Ollie over at Drain Addict got his new jetter, one day it wouldn't turn over. He did the same thing, packed everything up and went to the Jetter shop. Turns out, just like you, the Emergency stop button was engaged. Lol!! Like I hear you say "That's life" cheers mate!

[@penetratorblockeddrains]

Thank you 😊

[@79tazman]

You and Drain Addict need to unclog a blocked drain together some day so Ratty and Croc can meet Toad maybe share some corn together

[@penetratorblockeddrains]

I would honestly enjoy doing that.

[@HuntGamingProductions]

I second this.

Were i worked at p.s.d. for 21 years.we used a jetterall most everyday..we worked the main sewer .you allways get some sort of stoppages .it will go fron 8 inch to 24..sometimes it could be back up for weeks..you would not beleave what people put in the sewer..the jetter we used is huge.700 gallon tank. 2400 p.s.i.it will take you off your feet..600 feet of hose .1 inch..if you get it stuck. .sometimes its reall hard to get loose.i said i never want to do that sort of work again .we did do some personal lines 4 inch..and then i started watching you.

Great video, Penetrator. Much more interesting for viewers when it's not simple. You were beset with challenges but we were confident that you would prevail. You tell a good story. Best Wishes.

Thank you 😊

Perfection. Toss in a bottle of the cheapest liquid dish soap you can find into your fitting box. Works amazing to lubricate the pipe for the fernco fittings and will not deteriorate the rubber.

You had a fight with this one. Could have done with your help a month back. Had a blocked kitchen gulley. Used our Nilfisk pressure washer with a 20m drain jetter attachment. Took over an hour as the pressure is no where near as high as yours. Quite satisfying though.

[@garyscholvin9792]

just my observation, when i first started watching you, you took your time letting the nozzle do the work. now you keep jamming it in there like drain addict.

[@Michelselle]

I noted he doesn't always do the jamming thing, but with the clay, mud, and dirt, it may be the only way to do it without using an excessive amount of water. He also doesn't know it there is a break in the pipe or if it is just mud so it takes a bit more work. Just my 2 cents. :)

[@penetratorblockeddrains]

It really depends on the situation and what I can feel.

Muchos agregados, peligroso. Más aún que hay cierto desnivel de caída, se solucionaría más fácilmente colocando una pequeña cámara de patio o inspección para que tenga buena caída y saluda rápida del agua de lluvia .

Jeez all them angles would never pass building inspection here in the UK. I appreciate you was only connecting up to the existing, but do you not have building codes for stuff like that when the properties are built? Thats only a matter of time before that all blocks again with some debris with all them angles & bends.

[@conkerconk3]

Yeah I can't see why they didn't just do a straight or even moderately straight line to the road, why'd they make a maze out of it

[@oldtimefarmboy617]

This is just one of those things where there is no good way to get it fixed. The best way would be to dig it all up and replace it with schedule 40 PVC (at the minimum) all glued up, properly pitched, and allowed to set dry long enough for the glue to cure and then bury it. Now it is just get things put back together good enough to work and last a few more years. Homeowner should start socking away money until the good fix can be afforded.

[@penetratorblockeddrains]

[@Losttoanyreason]

I've watched enough of your fun videos to wonder why the contractors down there use such thin pipe for these storm drains. The stuff looks eggshell thin. I mean it's a good thing for you and your fellow cleaners. Good job security, but the contractors just come off cheap and ends up causing the homeowners trouble they wouldn't necessarily have with a more robust pipe, less likely to crack or on the curb collapse if driven over.

[@OGMrE]

It would be cool if the hose had some markings that would indicate how deep the hose is in the pipe. Like every couple meters or so

[@ryanwaltos2206]

Personally, I would have dug out all of that pipe from the downspout to the part where you cut it, re- engineered it by laying new pipe from downspout down with fewer bends and making the angles more sweeping and free flowing. As it is now, looks like it will be likely to collect more crud and be even harder to clean out. Great work with the 22.5 and 12.5 though and getting it to line up well

[@penetratorblockeddrains]

Thank you 😊

[@andrewc5212]

Could've been fixed ages ago before the rain..... Yes, that's true, unfortunately, sometimes the problems don't appear as intense until the rain comes and you see where the problem is. Like spraying soapy water on gas fittings or bicycle tyre tubes under water to see if there are any leaks to fix. That's why professionals like yourself will always be in business as one day, everything is fine and fair weather, the next it buckets down and a blockage becomes highlighted. Love your work, videos are great, although I think your little offsiders need a kick up the pants to help more, or bring in some more.

Would have been better to clean those fittings in a bucket of water instead of a muddy rag. The grit that was left on is probably why you were having a hard time getting them to fit.
