Gross Sewer Blockage - Drain Pros Ep. 69

In this video we are hydro scrubbing out an apartment building with backed up sewer throughout the basement. The house was built in the late 1800's and a clean out was never installed throughout the house, so we had to cut the 3" copper sewer pipe to jet out the clog. we hydro scrubbed from the copper with 4000 psi of water to blow the sludge clog full of wipes, toilet paper, and condoms down the pipe and out to the city.

[@FryzzlethePork]

We need the pet slimeeeeee

[@jeremylinson4927]

No shielded fernco? That’s sad

[@kempingerrohrreinigungberlin]

It was,what i can imagen, pleasant to work in the cool basement..Stay safe

[@jefftherailroadenthusiast8889]

Wow awesome job 👍👍 cleaning that pipe out. Love these videos. I miss the sewer jet out videos, like the hospital one you did. Keep up the great videos. They are the best.

[@shxpeshxft]

[@iIoveualways]

[@joehasberryjr7398]

I see 🌽 on the job site already. Great job 😳👀😂😂💯😏

[@Kaelanpo]

How much do they get paid to do this

[@mikemoyercell]

An Apartment full of good chewers.

[@buildstoys]

Wow 3" copper pipe, the crackheads would have a field-day with gutting that for the scrapper!

[@mackboyy803]

💯💯

[@throttlebottle5906]

many homes around here with full copper DWV systems, tons of 3", 2" 1.5", 1.25" and 1"(venting only on lav's )

[@throttlebottle5906]

was waiting for a big sewer bass, paper, wipes and yummyness to come flying out the copper line lol

[@kurtismckemmie4850]

Lmao

[@MrItsthething]

Those are really weird saddle tees. Never seen those before.

[@DrainPros]

Yeah me either, that one was a wonder one! Was hoping it would be a clean out at the bottom of the stack with easy access but didn’t get so lucky.. The owner told us when we were finishing up that it was built in the 1870’s 👍

[@Mark-iy4no]

1800's plumbing technology . No clean out no sanitary tee where it joins the main . What a mess of sewage ! Job well done !

[@Lbehti]

Who flushes corn cob down the toilet?

[@OldSkoolF]

Ollie shows up and says... " You wanna see something really scary"???

[@gowdsake7103]

That must STINK how do you avoid throwing up is there a skill ?

[@timothypirnat3754]

Good content man. I guessed working overhead, you were getting ready for a poo shower. lol

[@colinwykes1833]

Hey Tom, man I really felt for you on this one having to work in all that poop and mess !!!! Did the owner really expect you to clear it up ???? I have often said just how much I admire your customer service however, that takes the biscuit. Once again huge resect to you from here in the UK. And thanks again for a great video :) :) :)

[@boatznhoz1890]

Where you guys based out of? I've been ive been doin this work for the last 6 years, family's been at it for 32 years. Boy I was damn happy when we got a jetter years back. So much nicer then dragging my spartan 300 in areas like that 😂😂

[@stevesmith-wc2gb]

Them are not flushable wipes

[@throttlebottle5906]

flushable wipes are a lie..... do they break down eventually? yes, maybe in 30+ days of heavily agitated water or in small quantity through grinder lift pump. problem is, they bunch up together and never break down as there's not enough soaking time nor agitation...

[@MikeAbbott3]

Who's going to clean that up? Customer: I'll flip you for it.

[@throttlebottle5906]

and next call for clog, same fernco will still be there :)) also someone forgot pipe strap day....

[@jacksplumbingvideos7147]

Watching this next to my farting pug makes the experience way more real.

[@michaelnovajasky5432]

Never seen a saddle hub on cast iron. How do you even drill a 2" hole in case iron anyhow? Seems like more trouble than putting a 4x2 tee y in place

[@jacksplumbingvideos7147]

Yes I know it seems weird the way they put that together

[@throttlebottle5906]

the sprinkler guy did the plumbing (joking,) those were fairly normal long ago. probably used a carbide/diamond grit hole bit, or rectangle/square-cut a hole with grinder/cutoff wheel( common)

[@markallen2806]

Why don't you guys use Barn lime or a few bags of lye to dry that stuff up it works almost instantly and it doesn't stink? Or maybe suggested to the customer that has to clean it up

[@jamesalvin2819]

Man , drain pros loves his corn That is really thick , and gross I really appreciate the work that he does

[@bacusmoa]

was that poop?

[@preemosky]

My dad has clogged the sewer sometimes times irl

[@evankoutchak51]

Episode 69 noice

[@user-pu3zc8gf8s]

Katherine, Kimberly and Frank: ewwww

[@bongieger7871]

Hey man, I dont mean to be disrespectful as I have huge respect of the work you do. But what I am wondering is if you don't get shit all over you at a job like that? I mean I can see your gloves but its hard to imagine that it doesn't splash or your tools get dirty and rub off on your clothes etc. Or is that something that you just get used to after a while?

[@shupe1907]

The whole area looks like a garbage/trash pit.

[@throttlebottle5906]

probably has a (D) mayor and you can guess the rest

[@shubhamk5110]

ohh there i see a corn , ratty is coming!!!!!

[@arpadzsigmond5372]

[SNOW⭐RUNNER]

[@lewiepostalone8776]

Wrong channel pal

[@CrazyBikerGuy]

Why not hole saw, save money and time for your clients and yourself. Just seems like you cost your clients more money for a job which only needed a hole saw job to accsses the main line without a bend to go down and a pipe to replace also.

[@kurtismckemmie4850]

Nothing like eating a McDonald's burger and watching 💩 go down the drain.😂

[@chrisv4640]

Why don't you ever put the mess down the drain? That seems like the best place for it since it's poop..

[@mikedale1142]

Your dog just had surgery to remove the socks he swallowed Instead of throwing the socks away, you just feed them to the dog.

[@chrisv4640]

@@mikedale1142 The jetter chopped the socks up into little pieces.

[@throttlebottle5906]

the stuff on the floor is too thick and will not flow well and worse in the low pitched city sewer, you'll possibly clog it and have to call them out too

[@pheurbelvls3710]

That was disgusting, for you if you are craving fresh air I would have passed out or thrown up or both. Was that a home or apartment? 💚💚

[@0kmadelynbackinbusiness884]

Am I the only one who can watch this but has Trypophobia? Like if I’m not and Reply if I am or reply cause you want

[@constructionencounters]

Where were you good job

[@d22matt]

Mmmmm yummy. 👍

[@missydee7674]

I watch 5 other plumbers channels...they are from Australia, London, New Zealand, and elsewhere in Europe...I just wonder why American plumbers don't clean up after they clear the clog...? They use disinfectant detergents and everything. It really shows how different we are from the rest of the world..and not in a good way!!
