Blocked drain, septic nightmare.

[@ednamathews669]

Gonna leave another comment. What a fantastic effort you put in to this job. Lesser men would have thrown in the towel, or the rods, but not our Tony. Just shows what a long standing work ethic is compared to many others today. Keep it up Tony, you are a gem.😇❤

[@drain-unblocker]

Thank you very much, never stop keeing on.

[@Roxy-h5f]

This is my favorite video so far! The sheer determination on your part, in terrible conditions, was nothing short of amazing!! When that clog finally came out, I was so thrilled! You did it! If you got paid for effort, you’d be super rich! Thanks for the video! Roxy, from Ohio, USA.

[@drain-unblocker]

Glad you enjoyed it! Hi Roxy 👋

[@smash7777-]

Ha! Awesome! I used to do roads & deep sewers but can’t work now as I have MS. I always moan that I’d go back to work in a split second if I could. Your video has just snapped me back to reality bro! I miss the crack and all but not the mokit holes with brown trout bobbing about! You can’t explain the smell of a blocked sewer to anyone who hasn’t experienced it. Especially the ones that have been choked a while and have a crust on the top! That moment when you burst the crust, god damn! It’s truly horrific sometimes! Lol Remember.. it’s only chewed bread my friend.. lol 👍🙂🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Hey mate, sorry to read your suffering with that pal. Your very welcome to tag along and follow the vids bro, welcome to the drain team.

[@CraigTalksAbout]

You deserve every penny from that job Tony. Im not convinced the septic tank guy emptied it correctly in the 1st place.

brilliant watch thanks tony

Wow. That one took some serious graft. Interesting fan intermission in the middle there. And that meltdown wasn't so bad, I thought you were remarkably calm. Epic was the right word for that one. Congratulations on a job extremely well done Tony.

[@drain-unblocker]

Thanks Alan the inserted clip was an editing blunder but ended up working out ok lol

[@JW-oo9ms]

Great job on this one Tony. Being a septic system you gotta keep on to the owners NOT to be using wet wipes. Its for their own septic tank health maintenance. Please, customers give these drain cleaning specialists some help and use the correct paper. Wet wipes belong in the trash. Not down the toilet. Just my 2 cents info for thought. Thats the sound of success baby. 😊

I thought it would never stop, what a massive flow in the end, twice! Weird that the rainwater also ends up in the septic tank, you’ve got some nice work cut up for you if they want to change that, so the septic tank won’t be filling up so fast. Nice job 👍 👌Have a lovely weekend 👋🏼👋🏼

[@SusanMahony-yh9vs]

Hi Tony. I don't know about a cup of tea, I think a nice dinner outing is in order. At my place the main sewer line runs through our back yard and the pipe from the toilet to the sewer is less than 5 metres in length so easy fix when needed. All the best for Christmas to you and Mrs Tony and hopefully things will be good and quiet for you. Cheers everyone. Sue, expat mum from Adelaide, South Australia 🇦🇺 😊

[@christinegombas7490]

Awesome job Tony! My suggestion is to tell customers not to put "baby wipes and flushable wipes in the toilet cuz those kind of wipes will not break up in the pipes that is why it causes block the sewer drain or other kind of drainage pipes. I always throw wipes in trash and also my habit that I always throw toilet paper in trash after I finish using restroom (bathroom) KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK TONY! 👍🏻😁

Hi Tony, I was cheering you on all the way..wow. What a great result. The sound of success never sounded better 💯 It definately needed emptying again. Why would they put the rain run off into the septic? Stay Safe my friend. Your little rant was mild compared to what i have heard from other channels..lol from Tasmanian Fan ❤🙏👍🤗

Hi and thank you, yes bit strange the set up.

[@taylorsworld]

[@shawnbarczak1766]

So we saw 1 hour and 10 minutes of work...what was the actual time for this job??? I've seen some other channels use a bucket or 2 of water to clear off other spots to avoid the splash back aspect...perhaps as a suggestion...

[@drain-unblocker]

On that job 3 hrs. A draw off is fine if it can go to another drain but this was not possible here mate

[@ednamathews669]

Hi Tony. Watching you with that extensive rodding setup made me wonder. Has anyone come up with a system that you could put the rods down, then attach a jetter hose to the end of the rodding handle and jet the blockage out that way? It would avoid the vast majority of the water coming back up to the manhole. Just wondering. Sue, mum from Adelaide, South Australia 🇦🇺 😊👍👍

[@drain-unblocker]

I have a nossle that attaches to rods to push it along with the hose. One day ill feature it

[@tellmesomething2go]

have a feeling that may have been blocked since new.

[@colinhayward9184]

The hydraulics of a septic tank the water level should fill up to the out pipe and that should be a pipe bent down with a vent under the skin on the top of liquids The ground around tank lid looked very wet i suspect the field drainage must be semi blocked and the solids in drain to tank ,😊the flow is restricted.

[@serjitgill3405]

Tony Why not use the jetter

[@drain-unblocker]

Hi my longest hose after the main 100m hose that supplied me from the van and was deployed was 20m I knew the run was in excess of 20m

[@1stsummernites]

Glad you didn't, it was fun seeing the trickle knowing what was about to come...

[@PaulMappud]

Probably nothing wrong with that tank, wet wipes are a big no no in them cos they don't break down, a well operating tank will rarely need emptying, the solids break down over time and the liquid leaches away equivalent to what enters the tank, make sure the vent on the tank is not blocked as the back pressure will eventually lead to a blockage...

[@drain-unblocker]

On the money there mate

[@grumpyg9350]

Looks like you need a 100 ft jetter hose, mate. Perhaps…

[@drain-unblocker]

I had 100m deployed off the van reel as van was bloody miles away 😳 then my longest working hose was 20m and the run was more like 30m so I had no choice except rod from septic. Cheers mate

[@macrook1961]

Did the customer think you have a magic switch to stop the drain from over flowing , if only you had.

[@paulf2529]

Worth getting a floor squegee for cleaning slops from paved areas. Quicker and you dont have shit in the bristles leaking out in the back of the van! Toolstation sell them.

[@mikehooz]

Wipes and solidified fat. Sets like concrete. Every drain's worst enemy. 30m of 4in pipe, plus the full chamber, and the upstream blocked pipes certainly holds a whole lot of sh*t! Wouldn't be surprised if there is a healthy layer of solidified sludge in the bottom of the septic tank, eating into the storage volume, especially if the blockage has reduced the frequency they've been having the tank pumped out.
