Manhole Unblock! #29

[@moleyboy9650]

there's something strangely relaxing about these video's, keep up the good work lads :)

[@yourdrainman-ipoh7801]

Nice one. Greetings from Malaysia. Its just satisfying as the drain emptied.. we have the exact same feeling

[@chrishelms1967]

Strangely calming watching these

[@BEV0323]

How do you see down in the manhole, it's so dark, even with the flashlight.

[@Naplesfrank154]

Greetings from Naples, Florida. When the drain finally emptied, it looked like there was a silver cellphone at the bottom of the last drain. Great job. I never knew I would enjoy watching shit go down a drain. Haha.

[@bliggadonncutz7036]

Greetings from Lehigh Acres, FL. Drain Unblockers and Ollie are my favorites. Great job!

[@englishruraldoggynerd]

The countdown was brilliant. One thought though, put your torch on a cable/wire like that ‘Drain Addict’ chap from Australia has….. I can imagine what you’d say if you dropped it! The end drain looked like a very small corner outlet considering how big the whole pipe was, and it looked like it had pads or something blocking most of it, maybe scale too? The companies selling ‘sewer safe’ wipes need a manufacturing tax on them because of the amount of harm they’re doing to a system that even ten years ago didn’t have the type and amount of blockages and damage they’ve caused. I love videos like these. Drainage was the most important development historically in people living together and building eventual cities. No drains = no communal living. Thank you buddy for the enjoyable video!

Another job well done. Greetings from the states.

[@jennypennyxox]

Really satisfying this one Jetter 2! You must be the drain whisperer, that was bang on cue 😁

[@williamkowalchik572]

I worked for Oatey Corp. For awhile mainly sewer leak test equipment. One thing I have noticed it the differerese between your sewer design and US design. We have a main line running down the middle of the street, and individual lines run from the houses.

[@mrlardster]

We have main sewer lines running down the middle of the streets here in the UK too, into which indivdual lines run into aswell, although here the individual sewer line from a house will in most cases have its own inspection chamber (manhole) too for access to the drainage system for genaeral inspection and of course for removal of blockages. 🙂🙂

[@williamkowalchik572]

@@mrlardster I just find it interesting. If you watch the NY plumbers cleaning out lines. You can appreciate the English style system.

[@Promotionsyggdrasil]

Top job done as always 👍

[@YYNN393]

Great job! Suggest to put traffic cones on those manholes with covers opened to warn people passing by.

[@DannyMillward]

Also wash down all the manholes once finished.

You must be damn good at your job to get the timing like that. Hope you make bank doin it. Have a great one

[@numbertoo9677]

Hey mate! I'm a bit confused. When you put the hose into the drain, what it propelling it forward? I see you pushing it sometimes, and others It looks like the drain is sucking in the hose (like at 3:33)

[@samthedog7401]

Rock on Jenny. (The silent hero)

[@TheDrainUnblockers]

You know it 💪🏼

[@Alex-vr8gw]

I wonder if it's possible to get a remote start for the jetter pump, to save walking back and forth (or to shut down for the many minutes it's not in use like during the Endless Wipes episode).

[@rrrohan2288]

i would just leave it running while on site, whats the problem leaving it going, the noise? no other tradesmen gives a toss about making noise

[@Alex-vr8gw]

I would assume noise, fuel burn, and wear and tear on the compressor and hoses. But I'm not an expert and could easily be incorrect. Plus these aren't your typical tradesmen, they actually DO give a toss.

[@andyclark1426]

Yes many manufacturers makes remote control options, Rioned are one such manufacturer, our local water board has their remote control units fitted in their jetting vans up here in Glasgow

[@Andy-qo6rq]

Just found your site and I’m hooked. Why of why does the care home keep putting wipes down the toilet it beggars belief. 😡

[@garyjene9146]

Did you ever think of numbering the manholes based on which one was the first one connected to the mains and which one came in 2nd, 3rd and 4th? By knowing which was the 1st one connected to the mains would make it easier to drain would it not?

[@jme_a]

I think a simpler, more effective method would be to spray paint an arrow at the top of the wall of the manhole indicating the flow/outlet direction

[@HannahMattox]

That was some pretty good timing 😂😂

[@jwilliams8320]

I keep wondering if part of the problem is having all the man holes? I know part of the issue is bad piping.

[@realburglazofficial2613]

To be fair our sewer system is ancient! In some parts of the country the drains are 200 years old, it’s the reason that we use so many manholes. Having to tack on new drainage systems over the centuries has created this mass of diverse drain designs linked together. I think it’s testament to how well engineered our sewer system is that we haven’t had any truly catastrophic sewerage failures ever.

get your wellies on is ya?

is this a multi collection hole situation? Are multiple Housing Units emptying into this one Outflow Sump Hole which drains to the Municipal Main Sewage Header

You could definitely do with a more powerful portable light source for the deep manholes, it's very difficult to see anything.

Love watching your videos, but can hardly see down in the drains most times because of camera angle or placement. I know that you are doing it all on your own most days, but hate that we miss the good stuff!!!!

almost needs a window in the lids of pits so they can easily be monitored so issues like this can be detected before it becomes a total failure

I'd be worried about the culture of seeing a reason to fall down a manhole and throwing in a claim.

Can't see in the manhole! Need high powered flashlight!

[@polarbear1754]

Here we go again with the ridiculous head cam that is both too far from the manhole to see anything because of the shadows, and poor aiming. When you knelt down to rinse out the manhole, all we could see was your feet. On the positive side, I'm glad you cleared the blockage.

This may seem like a ridiculous question, but I've never heard it asked or answered. Do people from Liverpool have the same amount of difficulty understanding American English? I can make out maybe 1 of every 5 words you say. I can only describe it as John Bishop mumbling.

[@louisemassie]

Interesting question 🤔 Turn on Closed Captioning, even KZbin translators get terribly confused and start making up words... or pretending there are no words being spoken. The only real problem is the CC is so massive, sometimes it covers up the action. Good grief, did I just say that?? 😆 LOL

[@jeffolson762]

Hello from the Twin Cites (Minneapolis/St. Paul), Minnesota. Legitimate question - are British people like SO seriously extra or 'pinky up' that using Exclusively wipes instead of toilet paper is actually as common as in your videos? Like I understand using them occasionally (or if they're the wipes for hemorrhoids/piles). When I've seen blockages it's 80 or 90% a neighborhood-wide problem something wrong with the sewers Or flooding from heavy rains. At places I've worked it's usually flushed woman products, flushed packaging from shoplifters or rarely someone just had a Massive shit the size of two babies. Unless American sewers are really much different. British videos are ALWAYS wipes or fatbergs that span multiple blocks. I imagine a posh accented voice "haha, look at the plebs buying such rough paper for their arseholes. May as well be Americans, they can wipe with the tea they threw in the harbor"

[@kempingerrohrreinigungberlin]

Hi Jeff...I'm writing from Germany .. I can assure you that the wet wipes are an ever more emerging international problem .. Not least through the hygiene industry which puts money a large part of there advertising .. Especially since obviously not only The Drain Unblockers have to deal with this problem . It is also a big problem for the sewage treatment plants, as the pumps block there too. That shows that wet wipes are not as promised dissoluble as it tells you on the packaging ..

[@dennisphoenix1]

Lots of people who have kids use wipes also the elderly. The problem is the manufacturers say they are flushable, well they are but old clay drains with rough edges wipes get caught and cause blockages . Toilet is still used by most people
