Infested with 100,000’s of Sewer Flies - Drain Pros Ep. 68

[@colinwykes1833]

Hey Tom, that's an amazing video I have never seen Sewer Fly Bugs before. I really love the way you care about your customers :) :) :) That adds up to fantastic customer service. Total respect to you and Kyle from here in the UK. Take care, stay safe. Looking forward to your next video

My skin crawled for y’all, great job guys. 💚💚

Had something similar with the sewer flies. Turns out it was a vent pipe not connected during a homeowner remodel that was letting them in the room. We found it made the connection and they went away.

[@throttlebottle5906]

they can migrate through traps backwards, but mainly only large flood drains, which often are nearly dried out/open.

Were the minority. I am always surprised when people cant eat after such things.

[@Mark-iy4no]

Never heard of sewer flies . But I'm sure there's all kinds of evil things lurking in sewer pipes .

[@DrainPros]

Typically we see them when we take the clean out cap off and it’s like 10-15.. but that room was insane. The customer was going to bug bomb the place👍

[@IonRoux]

@@DrainPros How were they getting in the room? Missing trap or clean out cap somewhere?

[@d22matt]

They're called Drain Pros for a good reason. 👍

[@shupe1907]

So is the customer going to have that drain pipe fixed? And who left their cellphone in the pile of sewer flies? lol

[@joehasberryjr7398]

Awesome job a break from the corn King finding corn and his coworker

[@mustangdbest220]

WOW That’s a lot of flies

[@DrainPros]

Crazy amount! I laughed and thought it was a exaggeration when the customer said thousands 👍

[@biceptaper]

So? Did you film the repair job?

[@apeflawless]

I think my doctor used that same size camera on my last colostomy :)

[@Boodieman72]

Hope your doctor didn't find any flies :)

[@DrainPros]

Haha 😂! Hope he gave you the 👍

@@Boodieman72 Nope, just one standing polyp, the ones that are laying down are the bad ones. Oh, and a let them fly fart zone afterwards.

[@aprilsherrill5997]

So we are having an infestation close to this. We have had many plumbers over, all come up with different answers and problems. We fix all of them to no avail. My question is, did you not have to repair the pipe to keep them from coming back? Thanks!

[@MeatCatCheesyBlaster]

Glad I didn't let mine get this bad. This video is oddly satisfying though

[@JustJesse19]

Thanks for showing this I wondered where they came from!!

[@8Scorpions]

So where are you located??? Bc my landlord can't seem to understand my issue after 2 summers, and he keeps sending fly by night people to not do shit...I'm fed up and angry...😂😂😂

[@MrBirdmansc]

Fly by night? Lmao

[@traceybagley814]

Good video very lnteresting

[@kempingerrohrreinigungberlin]

Interesting 😎 But 1would have thought that the leak,where the flys come out, still would to be found in the same room. Anyway it will probably be less if the pipe break has been repaired. Will you be able to shut down the drain pipe in this room were you worked from? Till then ,stay safe👍

[@carenallen5841]

My brothers home was infested with theses flys…we used everything on the market…I moved out he still has them

[@markstanton2926]

Good work but my question is why are there only really flies in one room and how exactly to the flies escape the sewer into the room. Surely the pipe is sealed. Or is the vent over the access point open somehow? Stay safe

[@codking82]

I have a drain fly problem I have to keep the sink completely closed They are coming out of the sink think the garbage disposal Who do I call to get rid of these bugs

[@tlee656]

Wouldn't mind seeing that pipe once it's dug up. Wonder what caused it to break...?

[@englishruraldoggynerd]

Well it looks like the garage was an addition maybe, onto a slope, which has settled. They need to brace for further hill deformation. It won’t be huge, but it’ll happen as there and no trees or shrubs stabilising the lawn.

[@AwesomeFuture777]

I think it was monthly draino poured down the pipes that ate the pipe through.

[@AwesomeFuture777]

I am fighting them right now. They are hanging out around and in my basement floor drain that has the heavy iron cover over it. Im using 1 cup of salt, 1 cup of baking soda, and 1 cup of vinegar and flushing the next day with very hot water daily to get rid of them. Im hoping this works. I am in Wisconsin, and I have never seen them before this last winter.

Would you recommend getting a residential system jetted out on a regular basis and if so how often?

Hi your 1080p is very weird ? Its almost like its not really 1080p but something else upscaled.

awesome video.

[@nicolegerhart9652]

Question: We are having this same issue right now after a main break in the basement! The break was fixed first 4 weeks ago but the flies seemed to have mass populated since in the basement. What did you do with the "goo" around the outside of the broken pipe?

[@AmericanInThailand]

Is the only way sewer flies can breed is because a pipe is broken somewhere?

[@roninseattle]

so they got into the line through that break but how did they get into the building? wouldn't there need to be another hole within the building? We got drain flies in our building once but through a broken lead bend.

[@specter6633]

U used to post multiple time s a week. Now once a week if we lucky. Is the virus slowing you boys down?

[@throttlebottle5906]

I'd imagine they're working at breakneck pace with everyone home clogging the lines with everything under the sun :)

[@richardmillar2412]

We have these and I have no idea why they keep returning! I tried the baking soda/white vinegar/salt mixture and poured it down the drain! They are still coming!

[@AwesomeFuture777]

Oh no! Im doing the same thing right now. Im going to try dropping the temp in the basement. they breed in 70 degree temps I read

@@tatianachicaros5708 I did! I kept treating with baking soda and vinegar. They finally disappeared. After that I had it all dug up and the city storm water flood control program put in a new sump pump and separated my stormwater from my sewer and didn't see any the while time.

All you need is Raid bug killer. You spray down / out the area very well and let it sit for at least a couple hours. Repeat the process once a day for 3 days. Problem solved.
