Blocked Drain Korea #17 And It Exploded

While cleaning the pipe in ceiling, it exploded again(!)
And he showered with greasy water.

[@TIMMEH19991]

When you have a bad day at the office, just think what it's like when these guys have a bad day at the office!!!!!!!LOL

[@nachtdiertje1972]

RESPECT, yes in capital letters. I've had a simular experience with an overhead pipe. We had to cut it and when it was cut it looked easy, untill the big flow came. Man I felt dirty, even 3 showers later i could smell it.

[@blockeddrainkorea312]

I'm sorry that you had a similar experience. That day, my wife washed my clothes two times with longer washing hour

[@tmdpc]

I gotta admit - I never thought I would hear the phrase 'I'm going to squash those blobs' in Korean. Great video folks!

[@jameslonergan5840]

Thank for such a great english translation! Such a difficult place to clean a drain. You need to wear goggles for safety when you work on overhead pipes. I was waiting to see how bad the pipe was going to explode. Happy that you were OK. Thanks for the video!

[@farmgirlre4634]

Architects who design buildings with overhead traps should be contracted to be the ones cleaning those pipes out then they wouldn't put those pipes overhead! Great job with the collection bags!!! Great job to all of you! Awesome!

[@meatsmell8639]

Contracted? No no no, they should be expected to provide free cleaning services as a result of their failure to factor in maintenance, don't be paying them more to encourage poor design! 😂

[@shakespeareinstilettos3373]

❤😍 THANK YOU FOR YOUR VIDEOS!!! 😍❤ Before stumbling upon draining videos, I never knew what all a plumber's job entails. Now seeing it, I want to say thank you. Not only do you work the strenuous job full time, you record it, and then go home to edit all camera angles into one video (something very time consuming for sure). So THANK YOU for taking the time out of your day to edit and upload these videos, simply for OUR satisfaction. 👍🏼😊

[@blockeddrainkorea312]

Thank you for your warm comment! My time and effort making videos worth it when I read these encouraging and thoughtful comments like yours :)

[@waynemoate9401]

Please buy some goggles, no point damaging your eyes for only a few dollars. Well done though on working in a tight space.

[@blockeddrainkorea312]

I tried it, but it wasn't good for me because of fog on the goggle. But thank you very much for your kind concern

[@superpooper_2030]

@@blockeddrainkorea312 You use face shield?

[@GGigabiteM]

​@@blockeddrainkorea312 An old trick I used to use when I snorkeled was to polish the inside of the lenses with wax, petroleum jelly or silicone spray using a microfiber cloth to get it to a thin smooth layer. If you do it right, it won't affect the clarity of the lenses in the goggles. There are also vented chemical goggles like these: www.amazon.com/dp/B0001YXFEI/ which fog up a lot less than normal ventless goggles. The vents are designed in such a way to not allow liquids directly into the goggles.

[@russellkitson4518]

Neat washing up liquid smeared on the inside and then cleaned with a lint free cloth works as well, a trick I used in my motorcycling days. Happy New Year to you guys.😀

[@DurzoBlunts]

[@roxy918]

Shame..... the guys expression when cleaning up himself..... Needed a hug!!!

[@triciaabrams8848]

Yucky greasy mess! So sorry you got covered! Another great job done by you and your team!♡

[@QuimBeeLivingstone]

Thank you for the video and subtitles! Thank God he was wearing glasses!

[@clone1landman]

I felt your pain when that happened... You were so close to being done then all hell broke lose 😬😬😮😮

[@imtrue2132]

Underrated job. An hero in action. Becareful with your eyes, some protecting wears is hard I know, when you have glasses. When i need to work and my eyes will fog, I use lenses and swim goggles.

[@polarbear1754]

Oh my! You deserve a raise after this one! I think I would be donning a hazmat suit if I ever had to do that. It never fails; you just want to give it that one last cleaning and BAM, things don't go as planned. Great video, thanks for the "in your face" view and see you next time.

[@jenetikitty]

I very much liked the bit of cleaning off near the end. A bit of cleanness in all the mess! Your videos are my favorite

[@tammybechtol6250]

Thanks for another great video guys!! You were almost finished plus took many measures to not make a mess to have it explode on you is awful,but you got the job done as always! Keep it up. Seasons greetings from Ohio in the US! 🇺🇸

[@juergenp.2788]

Very professional work you guys, it is not just what you do but how you do it.

[@danachappell3861]

You poor thing!! You had a crappy day for a Friday. It could have been worse and been the septic pipe, though. Glad you are okay, and I bet your shower never smelt something so bad though. Hoping you can get the smell out of your poor clothing, or if they are even washable. Great job, working through it all. You guys took all the precautions you could, but you weren't expecting that much stuff to come out of the pipes. I know that I would end up showering outside under a hose before even trying to go inside, with all my clothes on.. jacket included. Thank you for sharing a part of the downside of being a plumber. I know my plumber had the same type of day here one day, and boys, he didn't smell real good either. He works alone, and he could laugh about it. He said it was a perk of the job. His poor wife didn't think so. lol

[@blockeddrainkorea312]

Thank you for your cheering comment! My wife said the smell on my clothes (especially the ones got covered with fat grease) doesn't go off even after the several washing. But I am okay now. I am just sorry for my wife and customers.

[@lestariabadi]

@@blockeddrainkorea312 I make scented candles. We use a lot of peroxide bleach (Vanish) to remove wax & concentrated perfume from our aprons. I wonder if it works with fat grease & smell also.

[@lestariabadi]

By the way, we found a cheaper & more eco friendly way of removing smell: boil with tons of used coffee ground. Our aprons are black anyway, so we’re not afraid of staining.

[@emmemm1395]

I wish you guys are also here in the Philippines. My drain in my apartment is getting worst.. You guys are doing an awesome job. RESPECT AND LOVE FROM PHILIPPINES 🙌🙏👍🇵🇭❤️💯

[@nancyhiler7389]

You men did a good job. Thanks for sharing.

[@wolfparker1970]

I'm amazed at how clean they keep their work area. At least they take care of each other. I hope he's got a spare uniform in the truck. And if you guys read this my wife said,, she thinks you all are very nice and handsome.

[@DigitalIP]

See, this is what plumbers in OTHER countries (US Included) dont bother to do Never seen anyone put something up to catch whatever so it doesnt fall on the floor Now THAT is being professional They could use some better walkie talkies though :/

[@catsbyondrepair]

Had nothing to do with floor it to protect drop ceiling

[@charlesmurphy1510]

Maybe you should find another plumber. I’ve seen this done everywhere.

[@danielp6629]

Yeah this is standard practice unless your in an unfinished basement. Then you use a garbage can and a trash pump :-).

[@a.j.8135]

That must have been a horrifying experience! I shuddered just watching it. thank you, though, for doing such an important job, and continuing to help so many people.

[@trufix72]

Another great video guys hope your ok after the grease blob explosion's in the face. What a place to put a clean out. Maybe make a special fitting for areas like that. Once again hope your ok.

[@blockeddrainkorea312]

I am okay now. Thank you ;-)

[@silvrfox2uBooboo]

I love watching your videos! Greetings from the state of Ohio, U. S.! Please Sir, use a clear face shield so in the future, you do not loose your eyesight! All you gentlemen need face shields as you do not know what chemicals are coming out that are mixed in with those fatbergs! You do very good work, and you get done what no other plumbers seem to be able to do! I hope the fellow that got drenched is ok! His family needs him! Be safe, and keep posting! Thanks so much!

[@patrickwilson9833]

Oh wow another day in the plumbing trade hats off to you guys hard work as usual keep doing a great job.

[@stevenhargett2491]

I like your channel, and your crew. I was amazed at how well you were working in such tight spaces. Be sure to take care of yourselves, and get some good goggles for your eyes!

[@klaernie]

On jobs like these I wonder what the entire setup looks like. Looks really complicated, but understandibly needed.

[@jellybelly7629]

Man that thing was packed!!!! Why do people pour grease down the drain anyway? I put mine in a glass jar and when its full I just throw it away. Great job👍👍

[@CopenhagenRayne]

Yea, I think buildingd could save on a Lot of drain cleaning if they had a Grease disposal as part of their trash solution if you just had bring it down like recycling then I think you would see a Lots less down the drain

[@johnakaoldguy3158]

Great video gentlemen! Your doing a great job 👏

[@dcma1232]

Nothing but respect for men who do these kinds of jobs. Someone has to do it!

[@armyatc1]

All I need in life now is a show called celebrity plumbers wives of Korea.

[@Nightshadowt2]

I’m just so surprised that people put grease down the drain. I grew up with my Grandparents and you’d have a switch taken to you for putting grease, hair, paper towels, or rough chemicals down the drain. I just collect all my grease in a tin can like they did. Once it’s hard, it gets scraped into the non-recycle trash. You all do a wonderful job. I’m glad you were okay after that explosion.

[@StephanieSpielberg]

People who put grease down their drains really should watch this video and then imagine it is them in this situation :( you are all such brave and hard workers!!

Little trick to help with the smell is to wash your clothes with FRESH lemon juice, it cuts the grease and odour. Also rub a lemon on your hands and body, just be careful around eyes.

[@rcsendandblast1579]

Dislike for this very reason. I have been living in my home for now 40 years and the pipes are cleaner then the day I moved in because I cleaned them. And I do not FLUSH frigging OILS down the drains. In my home resides 3 families Who all use 2 washrooms 4 kids live here and flush all sorts of things from time to time but still all that grown in our pipes are roots. When are you guys gonna learn that proper care and use results in the longevity of the pipes. I don’t know man it will never stop unless you guys learn OIL and Grease ain’t for pipes.
