Compacted Faeces and a Sewage Misfire - Serious Drain Unblocking

Featuring Jem again, this was a seriously challenging job! The property had been vacant a while, and the sewage had compacted and turned hard and scoopable. It had also bubbled out from the gully.
The property was on a shared drainage system, so Jem unblocked the gully and manhole on the clients property, and checked the manhole also on the neighbouring property to make sure it was all running well.
Warning: Don't eat watching this one, super gross! 🤮

Great job, if I remember too I try to wear a face shield when using my own jetter. I also have a couple of bands of electrical tape on the hose at 5' from the jet end although I do try to count the pulls back out of the hose. I'm mainly jetting land drains so rarely sewerage but still not something you want in your face with weils Disease etc.

[@swartnerf]

thanks for the practical advice. i always add bicarbonate of soda to the final rinsing water to get of the smell.

[@neraklrllessur8844]

Mark your hose somehow so you'll know when you are within 5 feet or so....so you can avoid the spray backs.

[@SbrGrendel65]

They’ve got a different type of system than we do here in America. Everything is piped to the sewer. No openings like that, at least from what I’ve seen lol

[@jaymesc.moreland9265]

I've seen a rare few customer side but the sewer system's manholes are just larger versions. I almost wish we did have these though. It looks a lot easier to unstop. Trying to get a jetter or rodding machine 2 feet down a 3inch cleanout then make a 90 degree bend can be a challenge.

Had to call a drain guy out few months back, been flushing to many baby wipes and the toilet when flushed would just back fill and over flow. He jetted the drain out and about two years worth wipes came flooding out filled up three black bin bags. He was here no more than 20 mins and it cost me £280 think I may need a career change 😂

It's certainly a good practice to give compacted and hardened poo a good mix to soften it up. You can also add some warm water and prunes for assistance.

Hi, just wondering where the inspection openings are located in waste water drain lines and why wastewater lines are not located in sealed pits. In Australia sewer lines must be located 750 mm below ground level, with a 100mm inspection opening just before connection to the main occurrs? Here waste water drain lines must have an inspection opening 450 mm above ground and pipes must empty into a sealed sullage pit - John from Australia
