Massive Sludge Clogged Man Hole - Drain Pros Ep. 78

In this video we are hydro scrubbing a couple man holes that are blocked up and causing sewer to spill out into the parking lot. We jet from the down stream back up to the clog with 4000 psi of water to break up the clog approximately 180' into the line. After getting the sludge clog open we got a big rush of sewer into the downstream man hole before evacuating into the city sewer.

Got so used to the little Honda motor sound on Drain Addicts videos, now you’ve got what sounds like a diesel school bus running that jetter haha. Great video

@@sergeantsewer856 do you have to be really conscientious of the condition of the pipe before you shove that high pressure blast through it? Your username is sewer Guru that's why I asked. Thats a pretty good indicator that you know a lot about this stuff.

[@sergeantsewer856]

@@jiveturkey9993 of course you do... if pipes in bad condition your sewer hose will get stuck.. If it has a hole in it the jetter will find it.. Jetting is easier on pipe than snaking.. but a jetter nozzle is like a hammer when you smash it through fittings and traps

Not the most sanitary standards for sure. He reaches down and literally grabs feces covered Manhole cover then immediately reaches up to his camera. Wherever thats mounted. So disgusting...

No matter how careful, there's invisible mist that still gets through. I've been doing this for 10 years and get only mild colds if any. Rubber boots and wearing nitrile gloves under the work gloves helps. If I have to grab something just fling off thick rubber work gloves and nitrile gloves are still clean. If not, off they go and hands are all good.

In my area sewer pipe can only run in straight lines between manholes. So any time it turns at all from straight there is another manhole. And after a new sewer is installed the inspectors will run a mandrel through it to insure it was installed straight and without any bellies. We have a very expensive laser system that we use to install the sewer pipe laser straight and with perfect pitch. Usually the plastic sewer main comes in 13ft pieces with slip fit bells and rubber o'rings. It is very thick and rigid.

[@BuildingWithZach]

Pretty sure that’s code for like all of American

[@Brock_Landers]

I don't know how y'all do it...I give all y'all plumbers ALOT of credit. I lay new natural gas mains and we obviously do our best to stay away from any other buried services, but ESPECIALLY sewer lines.

Biggest cause of stoppages is pouring grease down the drain and flushing wipes. The package says wipes are flushable, but they are not degradable. They get caught on imperfections and then just build up. Wipes devastate sewer systems. Last week we pulled about 50 pounds out water logged wipes out of manhole

You ever try and making a 6'-10' ,2" pvc pipe with an elbow to help feed the hose into the line you're trying to clear

[@alt7244]

We use a 45. For the jetter and sniper we really don't need the pipe guide. We have 6ft fiberglass poles that can lock together and different heads.. shovel, claw, 90 fork even a grabber. We use the pvc for an electric eel and camera if manhole is too deep. The wires are too thin to push in from far up

[@AlbinoWhiteGuy]

That’s actually a really small jet truck compare to the ones the county/city uses on their 8-inch sewer mains. Their hose is twice as thick and the nozzle they use is the size of a grapefruit. Or they use an 8-inch saw instead of a nozzle, for cutting roots.

[@Svensken8R]

Measurements and differences on the drain and sewer pipes ...They just have to be underestimated in Size. It can't handle the capacity of rainwater and sewer-clog all in the same pipe out away from the 200+ square feet parking space. Later that floods the toilets back at it again as well eventually when it jams those pipes, Right? Or am I completely wrong here with my theory as I say.

[@alt7244]

Usually the storm and sewer are different systems. The storm is a lot bigger. For that lot maybe 8 or 10 inch. They may combine further down at an even larger main. Usually they run seperate especially in bigger cities so if there is too much rain they will redirect Storm somewhere other than the treatment plant so not to flood it out
