If you're an addict to blocked drains, clearing chokes, tree roots, high pressure water jetting, cctv and watching an Aussie Bloke do his thing you will enjoy this channel!

[@slc1161]

Looks like the best bet long term is replace the whole system. Very seldom do you have a system that you work so much on but aren’t successful in completely clearing it. It’s in really rough shape, with all the squashed pipe, breaks, roots, and lack of water pressure. You worked hard to get done what you’ve could.

10/10 on the Willy Wonka Chocolate River scale. Plus a point for some great roots. Glad to see you use the knee pad. You’ll miss your knees when you get older.

[@ednamathews669]

Hi Gavin. Absolutely great to see the gang back. I think that by watching the great drain cleaning fraternity on KZbin, we should all have learned by now NOT to use storm flex or agi pipe in our gardens especially if you are going to plant those kind of trees, unless you are prepared with an appropriately sized bank account to cope with the consequences. No one can say that you didn't give it your best try. Would be a good job to replace it for someone, but oh that digging. All the best and love to see the guys on duty again. Sue, mum from Adelaide, South Australia 🇦🇺.

[@rupe53]

That ag pipe doesn't stand up well to roots and squashing. At my house I did certain areas with the schedule 40 (thicker wall) just to avoid those problems.

[@yvonnecook8635]

Oh man. I’m just sitting here in 🇨🇦 trying to think of new plumbing system for you guys. Jesus. I can’t believe the roots and crushed and broken pipes. It’s crazy to me. Good job getting what you could Gavin. Cheers

Happy to see you brought the managers arouind with you to back up your findings. Great root work. It is sad that so many people use that corrugated piping for such long stretches that have heavy amounts of trees etc near them. Maybe limiting the amount of piping that goes under the pavement would helps some. Let us know if you are told what they end up doing. It's a very complicated case.

Good job on a tuff root job ,got to be frustrating having low pressure an having to start an stop but dig up is there best option an replace with solid PVC instead of that flexi pipe,see you on the next Gavin ,be safe.

ROOOOOTS!! Glad your team was watching over your safety out there & a nice thick pad for your knees! Gavin I’ve wondered in situation like this if the owner decides to just let the down pipes run off into the yards like so many of us do here in the States?

Q: How do landscapers consider aggregate pipes over PVC, then justify placing a weighted load on top it? Recipe for disaster - which you’re showing us now.

[@tammystoudt5137]

[@andrewphillips9123]

The owners not winning is he. R O O T S ! I can see a lot of digging in the owners future. I hope he has a good concrete saw and spade and plenty of energy. He'll be needing it.

[@WreckDiver99]

All that aggie in there...all squashed. Going to be an expensive fix for sure, concrete asphalt, tile...all going to end up coming up to R&R all that. Around my area? Bet that's $20K at least...probably more.

[@timothypirnat3754]

In the US, I have never seen Ag pipe used for gutter drainage. Here it's used for foundation perimeter drainage and the intended agricultural application. Here in Ohio, USA, downspouts are usually directed into Schedule 20 PVC 4" pipe. It can still get squashed or deformed as you have shown in past content, but it's a little more robust than Ag pipe. IMHO

[@Pammellam]

Hello Gavin. Good job, you put a lot of effort in that. I have a question: I wonder what people should do as regular maintenance to keep their drains clean??? Of course, regular cleaning of down spouts is a must and also using good pipes that cannot be crushed or pushed down is also a must. If the pipes are easily crushed or pushed down roots will get in and ruin things.

Evening Gavin, I notice that after the collab you did with Ollie, you've changed to a grey hose. Does the material the hose is made of make a difference when using it? Best regards to you, Mrs P and Little P.

[@penetratorblockeddrains]

Feels stronger and more flexible

[@paulawest8793]

I enjoy the videos. Is it for astetic that the down spouts also run under ground?

[@jeffflowers5489]

Those are some crappy pipes. They're thin, they break easy, they crush easy and the ridges trap rocks and other objects, preventing them from getting pushed out.

[@MonaLyssa33]

One of my dogs is named Roo and I've accidentally started saying his name in the same way you say roots. 😬

Knee pad is very important as its easy on the knees. Ok

[@jamiekatz7591]

I am not a fan of that corrugated pipe and T junctions, junctions should be Y for easier clean and drain. All those downspouts need to be checked for proper cleaning. Sorry you were unable to fix it just jetting. Alan, do the right thing and replace !!! Team on!

[@amcc2531]

What make / model are your boots , they look comfortable

[@colletteodonoghue5940]

How is the hose propelled into the drain? Is the jet of water fired backwards?

[@jamie19881000]

Just a reminder the jetter is due for a service soon.

[@penetratorblockeddrains]

Haha thank you

[@garrettstitt5489]

Question: Why would the landscaper choose corrugated pipes for drainage, then subject to weight on it? That stuff is easily squash, and never be considered to be paved over.

[@penetratorblockeddrains]

It is cheaper and quicker to install. Most decisions are based on price I feel

[@cliffjohnson2273]

The main problem is bad installation and substandard material.

[@billamick2338]

So I have been noticing a theme for most of your videos and that is low water pressure. That being said I am confused about why you don't have a larger supply on board that is being refilled by the client while you are on-site instead of a small tank that is constantly running out. I'm guessing you are using around 100 gallons or less?

[@penetratorblockeddrains]

It comes with a small water tank. Don’t like the design

[@msbruce3812]

@@penetratorblockeddrains wonder if you could tie in a second supply feed since you need volume not pressure on that
