Blocked Drain 349 - Flooding The Bathroom Floor || While Removing Tree Roots

[@MikeDuckwall]

You did a really good job on those stubborn Roooots! 👍🏼 And the 6-pack of beer was a really kind compliment by the customer! 🍺

[@joannemattlin8756]

Great job Gavin! You never give up, so admirable. Customer was awesome as well. Have a wonderful weekend ❤️❤️

[@ainerush8942]

That was quite a tangle of roots.great job. ❤

[@sauletto1]

Tight spaces always make the task much more complicated. Trying to keep the customers home as if you were never there is not as easy as people think. Good work, Gavin. Shout out to a great customer as well. He did a great job with the camera work and help. Thanks for another super video ! 🙂

[@TGSamantha091]

It bothers me that most people wont even move stuff out to allow work to be done. I know when I have contractors involved the area is cleared by me to make job easier..

[@xrs99]

Excellent video!

[@penetratorblockeddrains]

Glad you liked it!

[@sandrashelton3418]

Great job

[@StephanieMckim77]

Heard LAND DOWN UNDER by Men at work this morning and you came to my mind 😂😂❤ have a good day

[@beaverc2884]

Seems like it's been awhile since roots have given you a fight like this, good job at not giving up. I like the way Larry tips. 😋😁

[@budgarner3522]

Best tip of the month there. Roots messing with toilets, ugh. So far, I'm mastering the plunger pushing out those plugs. Impressive being able to work in small areas. You and the Mrs. enjoy as much of the weekend as both of you can.

[@simonsmith6761]

What a mission Gav. Great job again. Customer appeared to be decent bloke too.

[@xxBlazinBobxx]

You deserved a cold one after that! Cool of the customer to help record then add bonus refreshments! Fun being able to see the jetter work on the problem while we see the result on camera from a nearby branch. Really shows how important the camera is when making sure everything is tidied up appropriately.

[@jacquelinekcisco9899]

Love the bleep…..

[@Starrynightdiner]

The rooster freaked me put. Thought i was imagining it. 🐔 🤯😬. We almost got a little plumber’s crack 😂😂😂😂 customer was a good helper.

[@penetratorblockeddrains]

Haha

[@HeatherLynch555]

Excellent helper !

[@yvonnecook8635]

Not ROOOOOTS in the bathroom🫣. Jesus they are everywhere. Great job Gavin. Cheers🇨🇦

[@garlen8]

Gavin, you must have a strong stomach to deal with the smells and Organic matter that you deal with in your job. You the Man!

[@beccasmama63]

you had a great assistant/cameraman helping you too.

[@cwpowell9453]

Have a wonderful weekend 😊

[@penetratorblockeddrains]

Same to you

[@treddy85au]

Yeah Mate, you got a blocked drain 😂. Party start popcorn time 🎉

[@barbmentzer7001]

When the drain was gurgling, I was thinking how much it sounded like bongos! Lol it played a pleasant tune. 😂

[@karenheartoriginal3783]

Woo hooo Gavin to the rescue! Gosh those roots did NOT want to give up. Really liked the picture-in-picture edit that let us watch you working while also watching the action inside the pipe. Nice!

[@michaellicitra7632]

That video shot at around 27:00 definitely should get a PENETRATOR JET HOSE award - outstanding!

[@erietrain]

Love the look of that neighborhood.

[@dianncharlan5648]

Hey Gavin, it sounded like bongo drums in the drains! lol That Rooster scared the hell out of me....I just about swallowed my denture! lol Got to see some "ROOOTS" so this was a very good video! Tell the Ladies "Hi" for me. Have a great day!

[@YesThisIsJosh]

26:40 the glorious sound of getting shit done

[@alisonmeeks5580]

Amazing footage of the single barrel at work.

[@Wildnfree4life]

Getting to see the camera at a different angle while jetting was pretty cool. It was awesome to see how the different nozzles work! Loved this video and I love how you talk to each customer and actually explain what's going on and why. I'm in the USA but seeing your work definitely sets you apart from others especially here.

[@penetratorblockeddrains]

Glad you liked it!

[@bostedtap8399]

Roots enter stage left 😅😊. Great job as always Gavin. Thanks for sharing

[@valardeeedeyosuri9851]

Tenacious isn't he!! ... Gavin always gets the job done.

[@tinkeringtaylor3053]

That was a awkward one Gavin, who ever laid the floor tiles i think they need a new bubble for there xlevel to get the run correct 😂😂👍

[@bigbadboodah]

You are BRILLIANT to know that it was a blocked drain before even getting there. Amazing!😉😁👍

[@MrDbone75]

A very good firday evening to you all from Wellington Somerset in the UK 🇬🇧

[@garygillikin3860]

Nothing wrong with a free six pack. 😊😊😊

[@chrisbrackett9779]

36:16 man o man I’m so Happy we can see this action. I really do love watching these different nozzles in action.

[@lesransom2964]

Great job ! Enjoyed the long format video and the tenacity to get those ROOTS. Especially liked the Picture in Picture RIDE OH ! see ya on the next one

[@TimPiggott]

It was a real challenge but a good outcome. Great job, as always 👍🏻👌🏻

[@robertforrest7956]

I must say, you've earned your Flush worth on this one!!! 😅

[@Green_House]

🐸 The job's no fun 'til the single barrel's done! 🙂

[@penetratorblockeddrains]

It’s a a beast

[@paulcooper2897]

Another great job! Thanks for sharing 🇨🇦

[@nigel1964]

That was a mammoth job in a tight space. Well done

[@doritleis2773]

A little Bath beside the Bedroom, is good, but if you have Roots in the Bath flowing off, not joking, and You must clear from Bath. Because not from the other Side is possible! Then the clear not Fun. Good long Work. Greeting from Austria 🇦🇹

[@toddbehrends1373]

Great shots of how the jetters work when they are in the pipe. You most surely had a mess at first. Larry is another happy home owner with clean pipes!!

[@martinmarsola6477]

A difficult operation this day. But slowly but surely, you conquered the problem. Also will, always do. Your the best, Gavin! Cheers mate, and enjoy the weekend! 🇦🇺🙂👍🇺🇸

[@BlondiNativeAme3]

I'm happy I live in Northeast, USA where we have cellars for our plumbing pipes and a lot easier to get to. Aussie plumbing is just unbelievable and I don't know how any of the plumbing even passes final inspection, that is if one is done! 😲 I've often wondered, why don't homes in Australia have cellars, same with Florida, USA, no cellars on most homes. I love having a cellar 🙂

[@jamiekatz7591]

There are just a few regrettable cellars or lower levels as when the monsoon hits so does the flooding.

[@tbelding]

Here in Houston,, or anywhere along the Gulf Coast, a cellar or basement is referred to as an indoor swimming pool.

[@mabronstevenson5256]

I think it's time to invest in a Milwaukee rotor rooter

[@sethwiedeman1799]

Gavin there was some roots in the sewer drain but the customer has to get it fixed but u got it flowing for him right o mate si u on the next one 👍👍👍👍

[@terriray1384]

G'day Gavin. I know you get every job sorted. Thank you for new video. Have a great day. 👍Watching from Tennessee in the United States!

[@thepagan5432]

Working in a confined area is bad enough, but with all the water, hose and cable must be challenging. So very well done Gavin, your tenacity is a credit to you. When architects plan homes perhaps they should consider more obtuse angles on pipes, rather than the easy 90 degree bends. Thanks for posting. I caught myself whistling your traveling tune in the car, made me laugh 😂😂

[@andyh3277]

Camera guided and precise tool application, reminds me of medical surgery. This elite Drain Surgery! Nice one Gav.

[@GrandmaK70]

Great video, was a tough one but I enjoyed it!! Thanks for the suspense and conquering the job :)

[@penetratorblockeddrains]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@gordocampbell9254]

Hi Gavin just thought I would let you know that i was watching some videos on Facebook and there is someone (Khu) posting your videos, well at least one that i saw not sure if you are aware of this, only watched about 30 seconds of it when I realised it was you had sound but no talking I’m a big supporter of your channel and just wanted to advise you of this just in case cheers Gordo

[@penetratorblockeddrains]

Thanks mate. I see it all the time and nothing I can do. I just comment a link to my channel and video when I see it

[@gordocampbell9254]

@@penetratorblockeddrains No worries mate I wasn’t sure if you could do anything, just wasn’t sure if you new loving your videos though Mate keep them coming 👍👍👍

[@sheilarowan8664]

Brilliant job as always ❤❤😊

[@Silverhornet81]

Nice "tip" there at the end! Well done mate!

[@penetratorblockeddrains]

Thanks! 👍

[@jameslonergan5840]

A little complicated root issue. Good Work! Cheers

[@susie7504]

Nice job Gavin!😊

[@penetratorblockeddrains]

Thanks! 😃

[@Eddy63]

All Good Gavin 👍🍺 Thx ...

[@glennwolfe1663]

Gavin, great video. Plus a pretty nice bonus 😊 Thanks for sharing this video 👍 👍👍👍👍😺🫠🐺🇺🇸

[@vonlouie77]

That beer is really nice

[@gerardshort6149]

That was a long job for you there Gavin . Those bloody roots causing you so much problems before you could find the proper problem for that busted pipe .

[@kevinwalker4623]

Awesome customer! Great job! I miss single barrel number 1! Do not play twister with Gavin!

[@brock1maria]

Those roots were stubborn but you made sure you got them . Great job and video. Thank you and Blessings to you and your family

[@penetratorblockeddrains]

Yes, thank you

[@chrisbrackett9779]

55:16 at least it’s outside

[@Green_House]

🐸 🤔 31:45 - Corn? . . . No! LOL

[@donrainey199]

Great vid.. such great skill.. thru a floor drain.. great job Mr.P and thank you

[@wybmadiity6836]

Damn you and your catchy jingle.......hahahahaha

[@mr.heavydutyd9327]

Good Job

[@janettetonks5832]

I know I am watching your videos out of sinc but do you charge per job or by hour. Do you predict or guess what to charge depending on the type of job it is. I know you are a fair and honest guy and won’t rip off your client but sometimes it feels like you have to go the extra mile just to see the job completed which is very admiral 😅 I enjoy watching you work. Keep it up you are a very rare person. Im from the UK

[@Tatu223]

Now that was a stubborn mess ✌🏻😎

[@caniacstevehenderson7115]

Well done sir 😊😊😊😊

[@lilianavidela7121]

[@philh8829]

9:50 what's up with the drain laying down some beats?

[@michelleparish7313]

I was wondering if the thing with chains on the end (snake?) would have worked better to knock the roots loose or would it have just made the break worse?

[@dock_yard1149]

Pity those poor blue towels!!

[@kenpinion8108]

Careful Gavin that pipe run is likr a jig-saw puzzle with lots of bits missing I thought for a few seconds you were going to get stuck

[@penetratorblockeddrains]

It’s always the risk

[@chrisbrackett9779]

9:50 when your pushing the hose down thru can you tell us approximately how far the hose has gone thru? Please..

[@penetratorblockeddrains]

Yes

[@rufusmedrano2962]

Good job as usual

[@williammorris3303]

That floor drain is playing the sewer song

[@paulchapman1175]

Well done gavin all good 👍 From paul chapman at London uk 🇬🇧 how do roots get inside the pipe?

[@dankunert6344]

Roots are always seeking water. Once they find it the roots will push their way in while growing. /old water & sewer worker.

[@dock_yard1149]

Do the jetter suppliers make an attachment which would amount to a Hydraulic Clamp that is pressure activated? Say 4 teeth at 90 degree marks around the hose end. No/Low water pressure = Clamp teeth are opened up. Moderate/High water pressure = Clamp teeth converge tightly into the center. Seems like such an attachment would be useful in grabbing and pulling that loose mass of Roots up thru the toilet opening. Make any sense?

[@janboll7174]

Just a note - the CC is not available; it just makes it easier to understand what you are saying (and is sometimes very - unintentionally - funny).

[@Tuurs]

YUMMIE

[@lilianavidela7121]

Si mandabas la cadena, no era mejor? enrredabas esa raíz y creo la podías sacar m,ás fácil. If you sent the chain, wasn't it better? You tangled that root and I think you could get it out easier.

[@cephasrodgers9417]

GREAT video Gavin. Good to see all the different techniques and the appropriate nozzle for each one. Looks like your access hole in the back of the toilet could have been placed a little better so you might benefit from another mentoring session with Ollie so you can perfect the placement. Enjoy the weekend.

[@penetratorblockeddrains]

Haha.. I actually prefer the hole a little back

[@lindaali6703]

👋🏼🌻🇺🇲🙂👍

[@kingslayer2]

When is the house with the entire pipe being a root

[@williammorris3303]

In america it is way easier to pull a toilet than to cut it. 2 nuts and raise it off its wax seal

[@katherinefranklin2586]

Your camera is on camera 😂 mirror 🪞 mirror on the wall what do you see,I see a tripod and camera 🎉

[@jeffflowers5489]

How was that beer?

[@penetratorblockeddrains]

Refreshing

[@garlen8]

I hope you don't get fed up with my comments 😂

[@Shaolin_Chris]

you can drill a hole in a toilet!?

[@penetratorblockeddrains]

Yes

[@williammorris3303]

That is one weird looking toilet to an american

[@greencheeksconure]

I'm pretty disgusted that you drilled a hole in the toilet, there not that hard to remove. That's just wrong on so many levels
