Congratulations Gavin on becoming a Dad again my best to you and Mrs .P

[@ainerush8942]

Congratulations to the doran family on the announcement of another baby. Great too that you're expanding your business and passing on your expertise. That was great work as always gavin. ❤

[@penetratorblockeddrains]

Thank you so much!

[@padrigderoiste3220]

Congrats on all the news you provided and the expansion of family and business. Hope your new staff will be at least half as good as you are. Passing down your experience and work ethic to others will benefit everyone.

[@dr.ryttmastarecctm6595]

I suspect your head is caught on a backflow valve. We had one installed in a basement line and it overflowed when we had company. Jetting plumber came out and nuked it. No more problems.

[@dr.ryttmastarecctm6595]

Get a sharkhook mounted to an extendable boat hook so you can pull the hose up the I/O and take it off. _Easy peasy, lemon squeezy!_

[@vaughanellis7866]

You have to wonder who was the numpty that designed the access points so they are under the building, obviously had no thought for anyone who'd have to do maintenance, you'd think that on a house costing AUD$ 5,000,000 (£2,629,280) a bit more thought would have been put into keeping the utilities access easy! Well fought Gavin!!!👍👍👍👍👍

[@Hi-FiChess]

Designers, architects and engineers don't care about the end user when designing anything. Plus I bet the owner wanted them all hidden and out of sight.

[@garrettstitt5489]

Congrats to you and Mrs. P!! 🎉 Hard work is paying off. You have a lot of “buns” a flying; she’s baking them, and you’re working them off.😂😂

[@xxBlazinBobxx]

Congrats on the pending addition to the family, Gavin! Best wishes to you and Mrs. P for your personal and professional endeavors!

[@penetratorblockeddrains]

Thank you! Will do!

[@petershoults8951]

We’ve been watching most of your videos and got addicted to the tune at the start of every one we’ve seen. Us South Londoners are enjoying what you are doing and look ate the lovely scenery in Aus because,as you know we don’t have much of that clean and big spaces where we live .Keep up the good work. Peter

[@keneagle7684]

I, for one would love to see you have another channel that does actual plumbing stuff. Like new water pipes, new sewer pipes. Anything that shows real plumbing, not just drain clearing. As much as drain clearing is nice, I want to see plumbing, real plumbing.

[@andrewthomson3165]

Hope your drain doesn't block up😁

[@the2060ish]

Congratulations to you and Mrs P. Why didnt they face that out let towards the rocks not under the house. 👍💪🍼👶

[@slongv1547]

Never seen mr p so stressed before congratulations on new addition coming soon and house and expansion of business maybe do a typical day and what you charge for services etc dos and don’t of plumbing tips and tricks

[@jeriwollmann7366]

Ooohhh wow Gavin. Pretty great plans. Blessings and prosperity. Cheers man. Congratulations on the baby. ❤🎉👊💪👍👊

[@penetratorblockeddrains]

Thank you 🙌

[@rogermccaslin5963]

I got stuck in a pool deck drain line last week. New project with sand in the line. They wanted me to jet to remove the sand. The deck was all pavers so we figured the sand was just washed in from the installation of the pavers. Of course it was a broken pipe and I went out of it by about 6-8 feet. When water started bubbling up from the pavers, I knew I was screwed. The superintendent on the job asked about abandoning the hose and the head. When I told him that, beside the pipe still being completely clogged with sand and still broken, the cost was close to $2000 between the nozzle and the hose he decided it would be okay to dig it up. Two things I learned that day, Reaper nozzles are excellent at tunneling in sand and not everyone thinks the way I do.

[@penetratorblockeddrains]

That’s never cool when that happens.

[@DonnaKnower_sez]

Thank you so much for the insight about what’s happening with you and yours! New baby-congratulations! Plans to expand the business-fantastic! All the best to you in these new ventures! When is baby due? I hope there’s help for your Mrs as she’ll need it with you being so busy; some family member to pitch in on her behalf? You’re extra busy and her responsibilities won’t go away just because she’s expecting. Man! What a plateful for both of you!!❤❤❤

[@gerardshort6149]

That was a bad job there Gavin because of those lovely ROOTS lol. Congratulations for the new baby on the way and good luck with getting your buisness expanding and employing another person .

[@margaretckamaka5552]

Wow awesome job young man🌺🍍🌴🇺🇸✝️🇦🇺🤙🏽

You are Amazing! 👍🏼

[@penetratorblockeddrains]

Wow, thank you!

[@beaverc2884]

I can only imagine no matter how many times you get a nozzle stuck the stomach churning feeling of is this the time I have to cut my hose never gets any better.

[@penetratorblockeddrains]

I feel instantly sick

[@Tatu223]

Awesome goals Gavin !! 😎✌🏻

[@penetratorblockeddrains]

😎✌️

[@JP-lz3vk]

Congratulations on creating a new junior plumbing apprentice with Mrs P! Also you need to start building a team of crack plumbers asap because you're going to work yourself into the ground and that won't be good! There's clearly enough work in the area for more than one of you.

[@beaverc2884]

WOW! It's almost like you watched the video and heard what he said in the beginning. 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

[@sharonfreemanpace1011]

Great job Gavin! That one was giving me a major backache!!

[@danielmills7972]

You getting stuck is reminding me of the last drain I had to snake. Thing had just released the water and I was hoping to work it on it's way back to make sure there weren't any stragglers hanging out. Snake decided to bind up in the drain and twist to a point where it bent the wire. I got it out and straightened out but ooofta that was annoying.

[@scottlambert2949]

Congratulations on being a dad again Gavin and honestly great job 👍👍👍👍 and you deserve a cold one

[@penetratorblockeddrains]

Thank you very much!

[@MessTD]

Loved the life update and congratulations on the little one on the way! Your videos were all my husband and I watched 6 weeks ago when we were awaiting our own little one 🫶🏼 your theme song is something we love humming to our Bub 😂

[@penetratorblockeddrains]

Thank you so much!!

[@Laurelsyoutube]

Hi Gavin❤ thanks for your videos God bless 🙏🥰

[@JacobsDad]

God bless your stamina -- That job would just about do me in. Talking about stamina - congrats on the soon to arrive junior Penetrator.

[@Natoyarose]

Think the clue that there could be a problem here was the access point facing under the house. Whoever put that in had no regard for the guy that would need to access it to clean the line. Great job and congrats on baby #2 and all your plans.

[@josiebogart7750]

Praying for nothing but great things coming your way and a happy, healthy mama and baby. Sending love from the united states. God bless❤

[@Silverhornet81]

Good luck to your future Gavin! ROOOOOOTS!

Geez your life is full! Congratulations on the new baby. Congratulations on the new business venture. Bless you and your family!

[@penetratorblockeddrains]

Thank you so much!!

[@steveb1972]

Thank God for that IO point!!!!

[@lilianavidela7121]

Continue forward to where the final tip should be or search with the finder, radar or sensor, whatever you call it and find the head, extract and then take out the hose from where it entered. That is my idea.

[@duckfam7136]

Congratulations!! ❤❤

[@321ozzy]

that looked like a tough job, thanks for sharing the good, the bad and the ugly related to your job. Thanks to channels like yours, I am adding air vents to stormwater pipes, y,-junctions to other drainpipes so that in case of a blockage, there is easy acces. and last but not least, congrats on the extension of your family. All the best from Mexico

[@oermama]

Congratulations 🎉 this one made you work for your money 💪🏼

Guy wish you the best! Just love your travel tune!!! So uplifting and simple tune….. 🎵

[@countrygirl2141]

Thats Super!🎉🎉

[@lilianavidela7121]

somewhere there must be a recoil cap that has trapped the penetrator and you can break the hose or said cap

[@williamkennison8920]

Gavin, how about you start doing Apprentice Penetrator videos. Some should be hilarious and some should really let the instructor side of you shine.

[@maryfreeman3341]

I love this idea, even if you treat us as the apprentice. Thanks PENETRATOR.

[@jjjonesmadsen.jjm1987]

[@steveb1972]

Congratulations mate! Love to Mrs. P! Why on earth would they put the access point facing inwards????

[@kdaniel8721]

Congrats on the pregnancy! Can hardly wait for the birth announcement!

[@AquaPeet]

Don't worry Gav, we all got your back and we're........ wiping for ya? (this time I don't believe it was roots so no rooting for ya) EDIT: I guess we ARE rooting for ya!!! hahaha I gotta watch till the end

Well done.

[@lesleymerry8783]

Hope you charged them double for the terrible working conditions Well done they were lucky to have you

[@babooll5632]

Why didn't the plumbers rotate the clean out facing out ?

[@garyreed2144]

Congratulations, question, why wouldn’t they put the clean-out pointing out instead of under the house?

[@sannehansen4156]

Change business name!!!! No more Penetrator? Congratulations to you, Mrs. P and Mini P on the new little bun!🚼 A live would be awsome Great job in such a small space

[@penetratorblockeddrains]

Still Penetrator

[@madpom2]

Live feed with you doing some digging repairs

[@DevilbunnyinTx]

Wouldn't it make sense to install that access point facing the outside instead of the underneath of the house?

[@charycemitchell8198]

You deserve a couple of these 🍺🍺🍺🍺🍻cheers

[@andrewthomson3165]

Where do you get the energy from son😂😂

[@penetratorblockeddrains]

I don’t know lol

[@skimalibu6287]

G’day gav bet your glad to get the crs38 back mate 💲what’s the reason for using a washer behind the nozzles mate?

[@penetratorblockeddrains]

It a seal

[@2wwwilly]

oh, you need Drain Addict to assist..😂😂😂

[@SarahGebis]

Congratulations

[@gerryricketts2542]

Why would they put ip inwards? ...would be better access outwards? dont uh think ? hmmmm i got no idea? 🤨

[@lilianavidela7121]

but by the time I watched this video, it was gone, and so was the headache. Very sorry

[@stevem1081]

I know that time is money, and using the big nozzle to get the job done faster is the best option 99% of the time. This was that 1% time. Since I only do this for family/friends, time is not a problem, so I always start with the basic cheap/small nozzle. It's much less likely to get stuck, it usually takes care of the problem, or at least opens the clog so that it can drain and I can see what's going on with the camera, then if needed, put the bigger nozzle in. What size drains are those, they look to be at least 4 inch? Here in the US, we use 3-inch, it used to be 4-inch years ago, but they found out 4-inch clogs a lot more than 3-inches, so some of the nozzles you use wouldn't fit in our drains.

[@penetratorblockeddrains]

They wouldn’t go around the bends

[@stevesmith8854]

I thought maybe it was collapsed PVC, but now we know!

[@kevinwalker4623]

Congrats on the business and critter! You are a glutton for punishment to do all of this and building a house. I would have bet this was gonna be contractor trash after all of yours and Oliver's videos. In the new house, no 90 degree fittings! No aggie! A full camera inspection of the entire plumbing system and stormwater before final payment! Did you get land to build on or are you building new in place?

[@penetratorblockeddrains]

It will be plumbed to my standard lol

[@julianmounser3241]

The 3 Ps and nothing else to flush.(including toads).

[@rupe53]

How much thought would it have taken to install that access cap to face outward instead of under the house? I guess common sense isn't so common in Oz either!

[@davidmcgee1246]

Owning a 5mil house obviously doesn’t mean you don’t know what, or what not to place down the plumbing. Things to get tangled in the ROOOTS!

[@chrishelms1967]

At least it was cement under the house...... instead of snakes, mud and spiders

[@penetratorblockeddrains]

Very clean to begin with lol

[@AquaPeet]

Hopefully it's a piece of cake? Who baked that cake and flushed it down the drain?? :D

[@wjw8417]

Wouldn't be a normal day without gettin a little bit stuck

[@derekadams729]

Need Ollie. He'll fix it . 😂😂

[@edsilva54]

Stuck on Vampire tea bags?

[@jamiekatz7591]

Speaking of being stuck... another baby??? Sounds like you have quite a bit if time on your hands. Well enjoy it while your young kids are so much fun. Just wait till they hit puberty hahahahahaha!!!

[@careyclouser1022]

OMG I was so confused for 29 minutes. What were you getting stuck on, why didn't you show it with the camera, did you pop it incidentally and then that was it?! I also didn't really get the title. The house didn't look like anything special from the video.

[@joycedurham5847]

Under the house should cost double!!!

[@EarleneBriggs]

😢❤👍

[@doritleis2773]

Block Drain. Great House. And under the House the Trimming opening. A to gringing. This to Unblock! However the Work with the Nozzle make a Problem, the Nozzle to dtop and come not back. Much Work this to repair! . 🪻Congratulation to the Family growth.🌺

Too bad you didn’t have a pressure hose so you could have washed off that concrete pad before you started….oh wait! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@2wwwilly]

that's not 5 million $ house ..😂😂❤❤

[@torchandbucket4214]

Pooooooooooo!

[@rtsolution11]

Any access point under a structure of any kind is from a braindead builder....bring a point to surface anywhere, eve if its downstream, but anywhere outside of the structure. On the flip side, Gavin I know in the back of your mind when you were losing pull back control you were thinking the possibility of getting stuck was high...been there and did not get the T-Shirt. We all push our luck. I now am the guy that when I lose control under pressure I pull back and regroup. You know better then I that once that control is lost, you are in trouble.

[@cherylmack1260]

Why didn't you spray the poo with water from your extra reel so you would be able to sit in clean wet and not dirty wet. Boy us couch plummers really do put our two cents in don't we? Woohoo another lil spirit is being readied to enter this life. Hope all goes well for your business also. Congratulations.

[@penetratorblockeddrains]
