Dude this isn’t something I normally look into but what can you make an hour doing this?

[@helentaylor2100]

If someone had told me years ago as a woman at 65yrs I’d be cheering Gavin on getting these big roots I would have laughed now I sit here with my morning coffee doing just that😂

[@penetratorblockeddrains]

Haha 😂

[@loismoore1531]

I'm there with you. Lol

[@emily.letsendbslintheuk554]

I do the same (apart from I do it at night before bed lol) even my friends laugh at me cos of it, I'm 43 and addicted to Gavin, Ollie and Bruce 🤣💖🤣

[@dianncharlan5648]

I am almost 69 and I have binge watched all his videos..but "ROOOTS" are my very favorite!

[@jillanderson7048]

75 and I don't miss a Penetrator video

[@hollygennaro5874]

It's 3am in my time zone. I have a cat asleep on my chest and our dog snoring noisily about 6ft away, and here I am, fascinated by alternately watching an Aussie pull out root slugs and Jacob give snacks to his lobsters, before notching the females and telling them to "go make somebabies." Who knew that peoples' everyday job could be so fascinating?

[@silverfox9004]

😂 I'm glad I'm not alone

[@Andrewlang90]

I see we have been blessed by the same algorithm God. Many blessings lol

[@allenbeaulieu7077]

Incredible size roots Gavin. I don’t think air could have passed through the right side drain, let alone water. It was a ROOT PYTHON living in there. Well done sir.

[@penetratorblockeddrains]

Thank you 😊

[@thurnock13]

A few years ago, I was clearing a drain with a general wire cable auger. 3/4 hp 100 ft 3/4" cable. I spent about 2 hours trying to retrieve my cable from the pipe. Once i was finally able to remove it, there was 15 ft of cable that had juniper roots wrapped around it the diameter of the 4 inch pipe. It scared me to think that i would have to dig up the pipe to retrieve my cable. Fortunately, it finally broke loose and came out. Both myself and the customer were amazed at how much root mass there was. It was very satisfying when the job was completed and draining properly. I enjoy watching your videos. I wish i had a jetter many many times.

[@penetratorblockeddrains]

Good effort

[@HannahMattox]

I know you said a while back that you don't do this as a necessarily "full time" job due to a bad back or knee or something, but I'm growing increasingly more proud of how you have embraced this as a KZbin thing and how well it's going! You always manage to find the best root slugs and I've never been disappointed by one of your videos! ❤

[@penetratorblockeddrains]

Thank you 😊

[@karenhall4371]

Now this is why I watch your channel, ya can keep all the septic and sewer stuff but I love a good storm water!❤😂

[@penetratorblockeddrains]

So do I! The situation has been no rain so many people are not looking into storm water. Hoping for some solid rain and the storm water content will follow.

[@thepagan5432]

The "Australius Rootus Blockius" specimens shown by Gavin are really good examples of the genus. Well done mate, those roots were no match for the Penetrator and his arsenal of tools. Good post, thanks mate, regards to you and family 👍

[@penetratorblockeddrains]

Cool, thanks

[@dianncharlan5648]

OMG! That was amazing Gavin! You looked so proud to be holding up those beauties! I could watch you for hours pulling them roots out! Great video, thank you Gavin!

[@penetratorblockeddrains]

Glad you enjoyed it. I enjoyed it, some of my favourite drain unblockings.

[@satan6-6-6-6]

From a poolside floor drain I pulled a root 21ft continuous pull in 1 piece. I laid in on the ground next to the pool and uploaded the video. I thought that was a good one. Then I see your catch. Amazing.

[@triciac1019]

Wow, amazing!

[@yvonnecook8635]

Geez Louise that was some root. Roots are my favourite. Thanks Gavin. Cheers❤️🇨🇦

[@penetratorblockeddrains]

Mine too!

[@Michelle-fi3ze]

First video I have seen on your channel. This is so cool. I'm thinking how does one decide this is what I want to do for a living? No one thinks of this (until they need their pipes cleaned). But this is amazing. So satisfying when you fix the problem and get a significant reward. I will be bing watching past videos for sure. And people are weird about people parking in front of their place. You responded well. "I'll move when you need me to". Simple.

[@penetratorblockeddrains]

Does anyone else watch these and secretly want to see a plant disappear from the yard when giant roots are pulled out?

Nice stormwater vid to add to the mix, Gavin! Massive root specimens! As Ollie would say, "Better out than in!"

[@penetratorblockeddrains]

Very true!

[@carolf-nf1nb]

Happy to see your hair growing back. It was really cute when it was long..... In the retrospective video.

I love watching these roots being pulled out and i actually name them……. These ones are called Phillis and Horace. Love it 🥰

I don’t know why, but these videos are so calming

[@penetratorblockeddrains]

Bloody Hell! I used to watch the Dr. Blake Mysteries and the main character played by Craig McLachlan and whenever something exciting happened, he would yell "Bloody Hell." Just found your channel and find it very relaxing and intriguing.

I understand that the root spread of a tree is roughly 3 times its canopy. It's marvelous how you can figure out what the problem is & solve it! Despite your statement, I think the Penetrator is a genius!

[@williamkennison8920]

Gavin, I've noticed something different from here in the states ans Aus. Why don't the contractors use pipe cement on the drains? It seems like that would greatly reduce a lot of roots from separating and growing in the pipes. My Mrs. has finally started binging your videos and has started asking if we ever become rich enough if we can contract you to maintain our plumbing? Just think a bit of a bus man's holiday in Louisiana.

[@debraellison6255]

The pvc is paper thin too. Some places the building code doesn't allow that.

[@penetratorblockeddrains]

Haha make a great video

[@williamkennison8920]

@penetratorblockeddrains 1 heck of a long travel music piece though. Might make 2 videos.

[@bigbuckoramma]

What kind of wheel size does that use? Standard 12mm 1/10 fronts? Would be great to know for hopping up. Hopefully someone makes an actual Aluminum chassis for it, would probably help a lot. Factory Team, maybe???

[@julianmounser3241]
