blocked interceptor affecting the whole of the property

[@sergeantsewer856]

Great job.. dont listen to people who have never cleared a drain in thier life... why charge a customer for a jetter when you can get job done with a hand rod... these are the people who complain about the price when you bring in your invoice... great work was a true "sludge line" over here we never get lucky and have inspection to work from rarely a cleanout.. We have to work from traps or toilets through a trap and if there is a cleanout its buried under concrete floor of basement.. That's the ticket with a sludge line thin it out with water and and get that schisse moving

[@drsurfer61]

IMHO five minutes with a proper jet cost less than an hour by hand in every part of the globe, both in money for the customer and in sweat for the operator. The jet would leave the whole line clean, and not only the first few inches as with the rod: the manual cleaning is good to have recurring customers, anyway ;-)

[@sergeantsewer856]

@@drsurfer61 if you read what his comment was before you'll realize why the hand rod is better in this scenario... a jetter and a man to operate cost 3x to 5x as much than one guy with a hand rod... If u.k they have a p trap inside a manhole that is dangerous to find with a jetter because it will fly up and take your head off... speaking from personal experience.. Not that I dont agree that using a jetter to clean the pipe is awesome and usually can clean it almost 100 percent.. Basically what he was saying that they aren't necessarily allowed to work on a certain portion of the drain different rules in different municipalities.. Also he was saying he rather not blow sewage all over the place on the ground and stuff... So really these guys are doing it the environmentally friendly way of getting the drain clear first then cleaning with jetter if they need it.. For example its 300-500 for a snake and a guy... its 500-1000 for a jetter everyone's prices are different.. Plus let's say it did take him 5 min to clear pipe with jetter now he has over an hours cleanup to get the sewage waste off the customers patio or landscaping to do to get it out of thier begonias.. No grief intended just educating people.. if we all did some of the things drain addict does then we would be blasted by alot of customers for destroying their property

[@ChristmasFerrets]

@@sergeantsewer856 I would honestly prefer to pay extra for having it jetted than to pay for hours of unnecessary work. If you do this job and you are careful about how you do your work then you shouldn't have a problem with using a jetting system. You must be someone who uses the plunger method to bilk homeowners out of money, when you could do it easier and faster with a jetter. IMHO!

[@pheurbelvls3710]

That was a long difficult one, very interesting 🧐 though. 💚💚

[@Jayelsea]

How long does it take for it to get this bad? I can't imagine the smell is all that great either, even WITH the large heavy metal lid. I'm always amazed at how chock full these are. Also... the grease. Is this just from people being careless and draining their grease straight into their kitchen sinks?

[@CitizenPerkins]

This was some real 3D action! Had me flinching quite a few times! 😂

[@mattking8332]

So are drum machines and sewer tapes not used overseas? I own a drain cleaning business and usually use those, but I also notice that ( at least in my neck of the woods) we have no open pit interceptor

I have to admit this is the most unprofessional thing I have ever seen. Just going to reclog in short order. Keep doing what you are doing because it keeps the real pros in business.

[@johncasey8738]

Garden hose drain cleaner. Still plugged at the out box. Sloppy, unprofessional work.

[@ContentDeleted-mr3rt]

John Casey that’s how some British drains are, it’s a U bend and the pipe above that has been blocked off would have been an overflow bypassing it but they let rats through which is why that one is blocked off. These type are old and are not installed anymore

[@spencerwilton5831]

[Content Deleted] 51487852 Wrong. It's a rodding eye. Designed to allow access to the pipe beyond, without having to go around the U bend. They are capped to prevent sewer gas from the main sewer coming back up causing smells. They were considered necessary when these drains were constructed (possibly Victorian, certainly pre war) as we the materials to make the highly flexible yet strong drain rods we have today didn't exist.

[@tryintolive1960]

I’m just confused maybe there needs to be more of a backstory because I feel like as a homeowner I could’ve went out and did that. How did you really fix the problem because it looks like it’s going to happen again?

[@Neilukuk]

He only unblocks drains, What do you expect him to do?

[@polarbear1754]

Wow, the people who are here criticizing you about your work don't realize you DO have a jetter and you've come a long way from "silent film" to "talkies" . I enjoyed watching you work, but as I watched, I wondered, "Do these guys EVER talk to each other?"...LOL. Thumbs up, gentlemen!!

The drain addict makes you guys look primitive.

[@Lilstinker63]

He's ok and interesting to watch but this lads keep thing neat and tidy from the start no mess at the end were as the Drain Addict has a mess to clean up at the end most times and that bloody plastic rat creeps me out and the voice he uses for it.

[@itattooedbutcher3720]

Lets unblock these drains with all the tissue people have been buying

[@robfl07]

Looks like gravel is falling into that unscreened drain... that’s probably got the interceptor plugged (or not helping it)

[@danjsy]

16:30 all aboard the sausage train !

[@R08ERT]

You guys need to invest in a jetting machine Like the drain addict

[@drainunblocking6991]

Our jetting machine is adequate for the the job in hand but this is an interceptor leading to a main line owned by water company and we are not aloud to access without consent from them, also jetting should always be done going away from the property and not towards it to stop waste overflowing into customers property or garden.

[@woswasdenni1914]

@@drainunblocking6991 i call bs on this. theres more then plenty of room left to jet that thing without any overflow. and i doutb your customer likes to pay 30min overtime just to prevent the risk of overflow a little. on those big UK interceptors its almsot impossible to overflow. work case you need a little cheap pump to keep it down. still better than this, wtf. any kid would have done it this way

[@JPs-Channel]

Why aren't you jetting it?

[@shanewalton3361]

A 3500 psi power hose would clean that shit out in like 5 mins. This is taking WAY too long!!!!!

[@wendymorrison5803]

If this is right any fool with a length of conduit, a bath plug and a garden hose can unclog drains. WHAT? Put a bit of Wellie in it lads, up the hose pressure and use the full length of the plunger. My life is too short.

[@randomconsumer4494]

Who is brave enough to blow bubbles thru that orange conduit?!

[@geo752]

14 minutes in somebody poking a stick in shit 20 minutes in somebody poking a stick in shit 22 minutes in somebody poking a stick in shit then using the garden hose to wash it 🤷‍♂️

[@stujd1539]

So did you guys go down to the local hardware, buy a plunger kit and decide to go into business unblocking drains?

[@MartinT425]

That looks like it’s doing no good to me

[@peteb2]

You truly need to call in a Jetter unit (since you plainly don't have one). Talk about a half-assed job on something so chocked up. It's highly likely there's a problem with the Main if this system is running so slow & the Jetter will confirm that without all the shagging around you're doing here....!

[@pauldurkee4764]

Definitely could have done with a couple of extra rods.

[@ChristmasFerrets]

I have a question, not that you guys will answer it. Why aren't you using the water jetters instead of the plunging devices. To me it seems like you're wasting your time and the homeowners time by doing it the way you are in this video. Do you charge by the hour? If so, I understand why you are taking so much time using the plungers.

The part above the exit pipe should be capped to prevent bad smells coming back from mains.
