Blocked Drain 22 (Penetrator gets thirsty removing 15m of concrete slurry and dirt from Storm Water)

[@Gappasaurus]

Have to appreciate a professional who returns to a job site because HE wasn’t satisfied with how the work came out, not because the customer wasn’t happy. We need more quality workmanship like Penetrator’s in the world 😎👍

[@penetratorblockeddrains]

Thank you 😊

[@SoulsOfAmarth]

Amen to that!

I’ve noticed your shoes before and I assumed it was for when they get wet. I was wrong, but having clean shoes for going in homes says a lot about you. I’m in 🇬🇧 but if you were in my area I’d be ringing you first every time! I used to teach and in 1 classroom the sink was forever blocking. One day after a particularly rough day pain wise it was about 15 minutes from home time and it was overflowing every where! I decided to let the children whose parents were there take them early, a dad stepped forward who is not seen before, the arc angel of plumbing! I’ll come and sort it for you live he said. We kept his child and he went to his van. He fixed in it about 20 minutes! Didn’t even charge us. Council plumbers had been trying to fix it for 2 months. He found all sorts, couple of forks a butter knife, Lego people….an ordinary sink with an ordinary plug hole, no idea how they got there. I was very grateful and baked his family some cupcakes. My timetable for that classroom was a constant pest because of the plumbing, electrics, heating and internet 🤦🏼‍♀️ no problem with the children 😂

I'm a plumber mate! I don't come with an umbrella. That line made me crack up🤣

[@penetratorblockeddrains]

Hahahaha

[@cleopatracatra2097]

Glad I watched to the end to see the close-ups of the chunks. Nice job!

[@penetratorblockeddrains]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@jenbyrne8721]

You should put that quote on a TShirt and sell it…”I’m a plumber mate, I don’t come with an umbrella.”😜

[@slc1161]

These were some tough lines to clear out. Don’t know who the moron was that decided ribbed pipe was good. Obviously he was just a journeyman starting out. An experienced plumber would never make that kind of mistake. As always, I learned a lot from what you’ve done. You had a tough job on this one. Very professionally done and awesome that you came back to make sure everything was OK. Wish my plumber had done that.

[@lilacscentedfushias1852]

I know practically bugger all about plumbing, but when I’ve seen the ribbed pipe like hoover hoses I think that can’t be a good idea, stuff can get caught on that and easily build up. It doesn’t seem very strong either. My theory is some people have knowledge, experience, common sense or education 😂 which is fine until it affects people they’re working for 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@fdlb99]

Good job willing to go the extra mile.

The accent is pretty cool. You can almost believe this is filming in Australia 🦘🦘🦘🌏

[@Jillas666]

It was filmed in Australia

[@tonyflew8304]

Certainly is in Australia…..the Yanks don’t have stormwater drains….they just let it flow onto the lawn/property.

[@Erin1Goddess]

@@tonyflew8304there was once storm water lines set from the down pipes where I live, but they were crushed. As a renter it is not my job to pay for repairs…

[@chrisbrackett9779]

I absolutely LOVE watching your videos. The only thing I could ask for is when your driving to the clients house,to me it’s a virtual tour, somewhere I’ll never see in person. My point, could you tell us where we are for instance I’m on Herrick road in Poland Maine. Either way Bravo my good man,you do a splendid job giving me a show, giving me knowledge. Thank yo

[@GeorgeChristofi]

That last bit... You sure you weren't a gynaecologist in a previous life? Working with a hose in a tube like that... The corrugated pipe was a real trap for the slurry.

[@penetratorblockeddrains]

It also had big bellies in it. Thanks for watching till the end

[@coleytoons]

Its funny you say that because of the comment I just made. LOL

[@susie7504]

I'll buy you some real sturdy gloves!🥴 Great job mate!

[@janboll7174]

I thought slurry was a type of liquid cement - it is. So, this 'slurry' that you're dealing with is actually the hardened product from the liquid stuff?

[@robertapreston4200]

I'm surprised those jets don't do more damage.... like in that robbed pipe that gets brittle naturally. Do you have a lot of concerns with this issue?

[@penetratorblockeddrains]

More brittle when it’s exposed to the sun then under ground. Under ground it normally gets squashed or broken as it’s never laid with sand around it.

[@bro6568]

I gotta stick to these videos the wet wipe sewer vid almost made me sick 😂 By the way.. my favorite nozzles are the root cutter and the chisel one. Maybe a small one as well to break up other areas.. wanna get one of these machines and start a business in the states.

[@penetratorblockeddrains]

Good luck getting it your business

[@jenbyrne8721]

Your gloves really took a beating on this job

[@coleytoons]

That drain pipe reminds me of the "bag hoes" I've seen working on Boulder Hwy here in Southern Nevada (Las Vegas). Except these videos don't gross me out when I see them! Ha#

[@TDog14126]

The intro is him mumbling and trailing off 😝

[@janerios3497]

You should design a "claw" kind of adapter for the hose. Maybe?

[@christhompson6216]

What is that hose reel called....that's cool !

[@juncusbufonius]

A trained chunk retrieval ferret would have been handy.

[@luckyduck146]

Those gloves have seen better days 😛😉

[@penetratorblockeddrains]

They don’t make them like they use too lol

[@flybyairplane3528]

PENETRATOR,Hello, tellme just how did all of that ‘clay’ come from ? Was there prior work that dumped it in there ? Your tenacity is fantastic, but it would be HELL without the cameras, ,,watching from NJ USA, CHERIO🇦🇺🇦🇺🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@penetratorblockeddrains]

Hello. That job was a long time ago lol. I think there was a broken riser pipe near the retaining wall and dirt just washing in from the surface access points over the years

[@mattkabful]

do you use a different max pressure in the hose when doing clay/PVC verses congregated storm hose?

[@penetratorblockeddrains]

Always max lol

[@curtzeek8818]

Turns out there are 3 pair of shoes.

[@penetratorblockeddrains]

haha yes

[@johncharley9791]

Can I ask what water pressure are you working with.

[@davidross7304]

Lot of reflection on the camera, Gavin?

[@jeffflowers5489]

Those ribbed pipes have more surface area for junk to stick to and the trash keeps grabbing the ridges all the way out. They should outlaw that stuff.

[@jamiekatz7591]

Who thought it was ok to install that ribbed pipe??? Could they really think things would flow smoothly??? I would have dug it all up and done the job right!

[@davidross7304]

Really can’t see cause of lense reflection. You go to the effort and I want to see it.😂

[@BEV0323]

Haha yeah everyone does that..joking

The fellow needs a RATTY to supervise the situation

You really do need a supervisor to keep you out of mischief. Perhaps a nice snake or wombat.

[@jeffflowers5489]

Just a random thought - Have you ever had a call about a kitten or other small animal stuck in a pipe?

[@penetratorblockeddrains]

No animal but I have seen dead ones in the pipe

This whould have been a fun easy job for RATTY AND OLLIE because that man doesn't care about having clean boot's or anything he gets covered in everything.🚾🚽🚽🚽🚾🚾🚽🚾🚾🚾🚾🚾🚿🛁🛀

[@penetratorblockeddrains]

It was a fun job to do

[@matteliano454]

I think the Penetrator did just fine. Awesome at your craft !

[@sergeantpeppers8858]

Have you watched Penetrators videos? He gets covered in stuff too. He just needs to bring out Toad more.

[@MicheleH4280]

Do you know the plumber that does his videos with Ratty?

[@penetratorblockeddrains]

I’ve only seen him on you tube. Seems like a good bloke and it would be cool to clean drains with him lol

[@Natoyarose]

Don't know why anyone uses that corrugated pipe. From what I can tell you are lucky if you get 2 years out of it before it blocks. They hold water and fill up with dirt

[@BEV0323]

All pipes are subject to block, hold water and fill up with dirt before long. There's no telling how many years that pipe has been down there, I mean, really!

[@Natoyarose]

Corrugated pipes are the worst. If you use plain PVC with the right fall you do not get the same issue as you do with corrugated pipes. I mean, really!

[@penetratorblockeddrains]

This is storm flex. Corrugated but is not slotted. Its a cheap and lazy way to lay storm water pipe. As you can see with all the bellies in the pipe it is just done with out care.

[@Natoyarose]

I watch this guy kzbin.info/door/QYkF1jMHlIGxvfQMbfayHwvideos and he did an interesting experiment of corrugated pipe vs pvc kzbin.info/www/bejne/kHulfI1oorV-iLc I think the issue is flow rate to diameter and there doesn't seem to be enough to clean these smaller pipes out. I do think the cost of the pipe has a lot to do with the choices people make; however, it's still going to cost down the line to have people such as yourself to come and clean them out. Enjoying your channel by the way

[@Green_House]

Do you think your jetter would be able to remove kidney stones?

[@jasoncorreal8810]

Sure but I’m sure your not gonna like where he’s gonna put it into!

[@JTThumpington]

At 5000 PSI, probably the kidneys, too.

[@tarikpompy8984]

What size jetter hose do you use?

[@penetratorblockeddrains]

1/4 on the reel
