Blocked Drain 240

[@lennyserauskas2224]

Ollie your work ethic is out of this world 👍🏻 I found your channel after a Plummer charged me $400 to clear my drain and left with my basement covered in excrement and two weeks later the drain was blocked again so I ended up renting a snake to do it myself 😒 I would have hired you any day and twice on Sunday you do such outstanding work Cheers

Compost heap in that drain.. oh wait.. drains!! You found a lot of things today that you weren't expecting. 3 pipes in one drain, and 2 in another nearby.. Broken grate covers aren't fun to work with either. Hoping you told them that they need to get new drain covers. Good compost for the old tree though. Good job, mates!!!

[@mitchblackmore5230]

I think that cover was in one piece when he took it out. It probably cracked when he was trying to clear the debris out of it.

[@francescag.5467]

I just want to say you are such a great worker! You do everything possible to solve the problem and it is nice to see how much you care. Thanks for sharing your professionality. 😊👍

[@fartzinacan]

I appreciate the commentary about what you're working on. And fully understand, and commiserate, working everyday with a sore back.

este señor es un verdadero experto, veo sus videos uno atras del otro y es fascinante como trabaja, un maestro.

[@papermoon87]

Really appreciate the time and energy you put into your job and giving us videos. I know it takes time away from focusing on the job, but it was nice to have some more commentary about what's going on and to hear the banter between you both. You both seem like people I'd like to know. 😊

[@ErrolJones1]

“There goes my brother” I almost shed a tear, it was as though you were going to that tree and never coming back! Please keep up the great videos all of us love them, and we can see that you love your work, most people would take the time to shovel up the dirt and mud and the spray clean the building.

[@omnielectron9616]

[@_Obey_]

Really dude. For once we have a channel that actually made the effort to hire a cameraman for some really nice videography, and people now complain that he should have dug the dirt instead of filming. If it was just filmed with a tripod so that the CAMERAman can dig, people would have complained about bad filming.

Seriously. I have been thinking the same thing. Plumbing apprentice wanted. Must be able to use a camera.

[@timothinking9855]

To help those who are having a hard time understanding, the guy on the camera is the Camera man, this guy does great at his job, which is really a one man job, also the question of maintaining the system, a couple weeks of rain and that grade on that lot is the culprit most likely, the tree area is above the drain, any water with sediment and leaves comes down the drive, hits the building and right to the drain it goes... happens quickly. Then it settles and the composting begins and within a month or two this is what you got. Job security for him, video security for you all...

[@paterpull]

.You made a beautiful tree very happy. Great mulch.

[@jessicadevers290]

Great job. It should the maintenance dept's job to keep the dirt out of the pits. My back was hurting watching you.

I have "enjoyed" your videos a lot very interesting to watch. What has been the most crazy thinh you have found on those "adventures" apart from people paying for things they could avoid with a little attention to the drainages. I was in charge of a Theatre and we have a big blockage on our sewer line. After many hours I was at the office with our secretary and the theatre technician when the hero came and anounce "I'm done everything is clear now" Great, and what was it?" Well he lower his head and said: "I have never pulled out so many condoms in a line in my life ". I exploded laughing while those two were red as a chili...

[@Providence83]

Odd comments on this video. Lots of people not understanding both members of the team _have and know_ their respective roles. The circumstances that lead that much soil to build up are curious. Wonder if the location was on the market to be sold and the place was abandoned during the time.

[@josephmckenna3720]

Providence83 Based on the grade of that parking lot, it looks to me like those two drains pick up a lot of water and sediment, including the down spouts. Could be a lot of run off with dirt. I’ve seen this before, but it’s also possible the property maintenance hoses the paths down into it as well. Doesn’t look like it’s been maintained. That’s where you see a lot of that rich, fine, black dirt

[@kannethachouinard530]

Flat shovel would really help ya out son

Even as an American if I went to Australia and ever had to say "blocked drain" or "all good" they'd never know my accent was fake.

What a mess. Well done sir!

[@mostlypwnzor]

should carry a flat tip shovel as well make clean up a little faster and less straining

[@Frank-Thoresen]

They are low on basic equipments. Multiple plastic buckets would also help. Carrying one bucket is harder than two. A hole digger tool is more effective than a spade when the drainage is deep. Maybe the van is just too small for equipment for all situations.

[@Lunar_Equinox]

Goodness gracious, didn't the property manager even give you a floor plan for their drain system? Sheeh. Salute to you! Good job.

Great video - I'm not a drain guy, but I just don't understand why the bottom 14" - 18" of the trap - below the the bottom of the lowest invert, isn't cleaned out of aggregate and sediment prior to placing the grate back on. I my mind, this would allow newly introduced aggregates and sediment to settle, while allowing organics to float, and be carried away by the flow downstream at the invert. Without doing this, it just seems that the system will immediately starts to fail again! Clearly annual clean-out and maintenance would/should be recommended! Thanks!
