Just some info for gutter pipe owners. Never use corrugated pipe for underground gutters. You see it used because it works great for French drains but not gutters. Use smooth wall pvc pipe. The ridges on corrugated pipe will catch and build up with all the dirt and whatever you can imagine that runs off your roof. Especially if you have shingled roof. Shingle granules and rock sediment will build up. Also this type of pipe is so thin it will break or crush. PVC is more solid and leaves a smooth path for nothing to get stuck.

@darthslagle5979 5 жыл бұрын
Also Jack, if you have gutter guards on those gutters and you are still getting blockages, you likely have a hole or multiple holes in the corrugated pipe underground. And you are probably getting dirt and sediment in your lines or even worse, roots. For that you would need to treat the lines with RootX or a similar product. This will dissolve and kill the roots and allow the drain to flow freely. But you will need to treat the pipe every 1-2 years.

This is a great setup, but one thing. The pump on gas pressure washers can fail if the water is not circulating through it. Suggestions to use are either having a two person operation, where one can start the pressure washer as soon as the other person has the hose set up in the pipes. Another alternative would be to use an electric pressure washer, but not sure if the GPM/PSI would be enough or if it would be compatible with this setup.

For that job a water hose might have done the trick, nevertheless, great video and a very effective solution. One improvement, especially for long or hard clogs: start downstream. I’m not experienced, yet, but my buddy is and he said, for seriously clogged pipes, it’s always better to start downstream. My situation is a very long house on a slope with the front of this old house facing uphill so extending downspouts isn’t an option. Downspouts go into clay pipe “sealed” with cracked concrete. Clay pipe goes hundreds of feet to a storm sewer. I cleared out 18 feet in multiple directions with a hose so far but I have a long way to go so I’m definitely gonna try this system and I definitely need to do this myself. I really appreciate that you made this video. Thank you.

In addition the nozzle head is much smaller/shorter. This feature is the most important part because it allows it to work its way around corners in smaller pipe which is what needed.

hey, you suggest a shut off valve on the pressure line of your ordinary power washer: this is slam dunk to kill your pump. With no way for the fresh water to escape, the pump will within shortest time overheat and fry. Higher end power washers have at least a loop that allows water circulating through the pump to provide cooling.

Regarding the swivel vs fixed ends, I'm not an expert but I can think of two reasons the swivel should really be at the pressure washer end, not the clog end. First, do you really want the possibility of the working end spinning wildly if the pressure from the reverse jets starts to provide a small rotational force? It sounds like it might be beneficial for cleaning, but probably not desirable if it's not a rotating nozzle designed for that purpose (which I see is provided in kits). But, I think more importantly, having the swivel at the pressure washer end lets you have control to re-orient the line by twisting it (often a challenge with pressure lines). If the swivel is down in the drain at the working head, it loses this ability. Great video, thanks!

CAN BE DONE WITH AN ELECTRIC PRESSURE WASHER: I bought the suggested items from the link but the adapter part for wand end was arriving too late and my main sewer drain was backed up for a few days but I was determined not to waste another $60 bucks renting a snake that would clear it. So I went to Home Depot and got a 1/4 in quick connect kit and disconnected the part that was the same as my washer wand end and bought a separate double female coupling to attach the high pressure hose to end of wand. Cost an additional $20. I decided to see if my wimpy Sun Joe SPX3000 2030 PSI 1.76 GPM Electric Pressure Washer, 14.5-Amp would do the job in spite of the video saying it wouldn't since I knew the root clog was only about 2 ft from the access. With the fancy mushroom head attachment it was pitiful pressure. So I took it off and added the part from the Quick connect kit that I had removed (which is the same as the end of the wand) and attached it to the end of the pressure hose and then attached my pressure washer attachment that is the strongest one I had (yellow nozzle). Bingo! full pressure on a flexible hose that cleared the drain. I did have to hand feed it since there are no reverse propulsion streams on it so I used a 6 gallon shop vac to clean it out first. It worked great and was fast. I'm relieved I didn't need to buy a gas powered pressure washer. I may not have demolished the roots with this method and I will see how long it lasts but at least I can do again without forking out more money. Thanks for the video. I hope my adventures help someone else. I was nearly inspired to make my own : )

It would be better to start from the low end and jet towards the high end. The jets that propel the hose also wash the debris out. also, run a regular garden hose into the top end. The extra flow will help to remove debris.

If you run the garden hose in, you need to have a back flow prevention device on your hose bib that you put the hose onto to prevent bacteria from entering your water system.

@@texasgemtree techniquly you should always have a backflow device built for hose bibs in place for your indoor water system protection. In this case using a garden hose without hose bib backflow protection would be ok. You would have to have a negative pressure condition in the hose, hose bib and house potable water system to have a backflow condition (back sphinogage or back pressure possibly caused the pressure washer). Extremely unlikely if you have the hose discharging water and you remove hose from pipe(s) when done and close the hose bib. I was a licensed backflow device tester, I installed and repaired backflow devices also.
