Clogged Drain

[@brokenglass849]

I wouldn't have thought watching drains being cleaned could be so much fun, but such is the case. Your videos are very nicely done. I hope those folks take care of all those soggy carpets ASAP.

[@NYDRAINS]

Thanks 👍

I was half expecting to see christmas lights pulled outta here alone with that tree you fished out😉😆😘

[@NYDRAINS]

Lol

[@steveharleyfan]

Nice one Don !!! Did the customer notice a tree from his front yard has disappeared when you pulled that out ?!?!

[@Hellogirl-rb1vn]

A tree did disappear this video!

[@NYDRAINS]

Lol thanks Hugh 👍

[@dvssayer5621]

You have helped me to know how to unclog our drain and also ill never put "flushable wipes" in the toilet ever again!

[@chazlatson9977]

Big fan of yours. As fellow drain tech in Atlanta, Ga I think you do such a great job clearing and cleaning drain and sewer lines. I like that you use the drum machine alot and show how much it can do in this time everybody is quick to jet out lines the drum machine is a timeless tried and true method for clearing roots soft and hard blockages. Don't get me wrong there is always a time and place for jetting lines and im not against it all but the drum machine in my opinion will be my stater before jetting. It's more cost effective and less of hassle in most cases. Keep the video coming I learn so much from them. Your a true master of your craft.

[@NYDRAINS]

Thanks for the comment 👍

[@lorduggae]

Wipes, roots and foam, it's the drain that keeps on giving!

[@NYDRAINS]

Lol

[@BEV0323]

🌺 Oh I like your new logo, the blue water with the bubbles, pretty blue color! That was a significant amount of roots, great job you did! 🌺

[@NYDRAINS]

Glad you liked, thanks 👍

[@brucetheloon]

The drain that just kept on giving. Nice one.

[@NYDRAINS]

Thanks!

[@garrettstitt5489]

Good job! Those roots were unexpected. I knew something was up with all that beer foam. 😅

[@NYDRAINS]

Lol

[@susie7504]

Good Lord Donald, quite a variety!🧤🔦😊

[@NYDRAINS]

Yes indeed Suzanne!

[@davidortiza.k.aknucklest.e1659]

I’d say it’s always a great Monday when you run into a good amount of roots! But as always even the roots don’t stand a chance against you my brother! Excellent job like always 💯💯💯💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽

[@NYDRAINS]

Thanks again 👍 😉

Good job, those were some significant roots, plus the usual wipes etc. Good Job!😃👍

[@NYDRAINS]

Thanks again 👍

[@Sandra-dm8rd]

Little bit of everything in that drain. Nice foamy job. 😊

[@NYDRAINS]

Thanks 👍

[@eddiewillers1]

Every bit as interesting as Ollie 'Drain Addict' in Sydney - different methods and tools to handle different drain configurations, but the same satisfying result.

[@NYDRAINS]

😉👍

[@Jaythatdrainguy]

I was watching the video and when you first cleared it i quickly looked at the time and I'm like no there's something wrong here or it's going to be a multi-job video and then when you went back and all that foam came up I was thinking oh this is going to be a good one lol those look like some pretty thick roots at some point. Quick question. Donald, do you guys ever do a video inspection? Like do you do that yourself or does the company do that? Thanks for posting this brother. I really appreciate it. Have yourself a great weekend

[@NYDRAINS]

Yes, Jason, we do camera inspection, but only on the customer's request or permission 😉

[@Jaythatdrainguy]

@@NYDRAINS cool thanks for your reply have a great weekend! Donald

[@andrewready1137]

Wow. Good thing they decided to have you clear the outlet too.

[@NYDRAINS]

Definitely.

[@nancyhiler7389]

That was a mess, but you got it. Good video Donald thanks for sharing your hard work with us.

[@NYDRAINS]

Thanks always Nancy 😉👍

[@caniacstevehenderson7115]

A great way to start my thank you!!

[@NYDRAINS]

Thanks for watching 👍

[@davidnajmon9944]

I can't remember seeing that much foam in a house sewer,ever !! Must have been 12 drano's!! smelled a little strong,I bet.

[@NYDRAINS]

I did get a whiff.

[@TheMadisonWinter]

Amazing as always. Thanks for the upload 👍

[@NYDRAINS]

Thanks again 👍

[@danhutson3460]

That was some witches brew there, Don! It was even bubbling, the wipes were her clothes & the roots, her hair. But you cleared the way & sent her to the dark depths where she belongs.

[@NYDRAINS]

Sure was Dan 👍

[@julien801]

FLowing like A ....... Foammy River hahaha

[@NYDRAINS]

😆

[@stephaniecheung9874]

good job Donald, roots and wipes and draino sure is a horrific combination to deal with, kudos to you for a well done job

[@NYDRAINS]

Thanks again Stephanie 👍

[@MightyMuffins]

Damn dude, you pretty much pulled out a garden and a half on this one. XD Also that shear amount of drain cleaner there must have been pretty powerful to smell in a crappy way. That stuff is strong.

[@NYDRAINS]

Is sure was!

[@throttlebottle5906]

the caustic smell is usually better than backed up poo water, but it gets on everything and splashes all over, so bad bad bad. lol

[@joeapicelli8367]

Took awhile but I see you got to the root of the problem. 😁 Sorry dude that was bad lol.

[@NYDRAINS]

Lol 👍

[@RODALCO2007]

That foam looks like a chemical reaction of something the customer chucked in the drain. After you unclogged the house side, the chemical moved downstream in the foamy river and started to react again. Many roots.

[@NYDRAINS]

🤷‍♂️😉

[@throttlebottle5906]

"did you put anything in here". silence/crickets... "" what? yes, I bought some draino cleaner but that's it..."" probably poured multiple bottles in every drain in the house. lol 🤣🤣

[@NYDRAINS]

😆 🤣 😂

[@zalmaflash]

You "wiped" that one out. Thanks for sharing.

[@NYDRAINS]

Lol

[@bostedtap8399]

I thought I was watching Ghost Busters, ref "River of Slime" 🥴😲😯🥺. Great work as always 👏, thanks for sharing

[@NYDRAINS]

Lol, thanks 👍

[@johnsrabe]

I’m kinda sorry you found roots because now Mr Fixit will keep flushing wipes and Drano because obviously he had nothing to do with the issue.

[@NYDRAINS]

Lol

Thats crazy the reaction the Draino was having even after the initial water got to it. Going to have to tell me dad to just have a plumber come and snake it

[@NYDRAINS]

[@southcarolinagrizfan1594]

It's been a while since I've seen that many roots on your channel.

[@hempseedaddict]

Man that was a lotta foam! Even more toxins in the mix...

[@NYDRAINS]

Lol 😉👍

[@leannkennedy6568]

[@NYDRAINS]

Thanks 👍

[@kennyrollins5340]

Sliver lining the snake got cleaned with all the foam

[@NYDRAINS]

Lol

[@kenthorsen4558]

I guess draino doesn't break down wipes or get rid of the roots? Would once a year clean out keep that under control? Thanks Donald. 👍

[@rupe53]

there are products to help with roots, but it only kills them. (doesn't rot them) If they are established long term, then you are outta luck and need something like this video.

[@NYDRAINS]

Once a year makes you sleep better at night Ken 😉👍

[@Fireship1]

I could swear the tree in front of my house is three feet shorter today. And I’m in jersey! 😉

[@martinpaquette2631]

Question: does Drain-O or other pipe-clearing products damage your equipment? As in, do the products eat away or stain the metal snake?

[@sewerrat7612]

Some of them are caustic enough to damage cables seen most often in commercial/industrial buildings. Ones that do will damage metal sewers as well.

[@AlBracco879]

Damaged equipment is replaceable Worse things getting splashed in the face People should read labels especially when you see a scull and crossbones Liquid drain cleaner has sulfuric acid and hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide Not rocket science Just saying

[@NYDRAINS]

If it sits there long enough, it can corrode pipes, but my machine never parks up for long and runs through another drain within half-hour to an hour the most, so no worries here 😉

[@julietewing4847]

That's what draino does? Foams up?

[@NYDRAINS]

When you think drain cleaners, the first thing that comes to mind is drain-o. I'm not exactly sure what he put down there, but it didn't work, that's for sure 😉

[@kambalnijhuvz493]

What is the name of that machine you used to clean the drainage sir.?

[@NYDRAINS]

Spartan 300

[@GreatSax1]

Do you think they will have to replace the pipe from the tree roots?

[@NYDRAINS]

No.

[@peter15871]

That was interesting one Donald, getting the wipe's out, then getting rid of the foam monster!!,then to top it all a mass of root's ollie *&ratty would be proud of . Nice sewer pit, the customer leave's the cap's off! why?. Great Video...

[@NYDRAINS]

Thanks Peter 👍 not sure why he does that, I sure wouldn't 😉

[@martywhite5384]

Why does he keep the caps off?

[@NYDRAINS]

🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️

[@Grimmarox]

Absolutely love a good root job!

[@NYDRAINS]

Thanks👍

[@tinkeringtaylor3053]

Great job Donald, does that sort of drain cleaner really work 👍

[@NYDRAINS]

In minor clogs that are close by, but not in this case, just a waist of money if you ask me. Thanks again Taylor 👍

[@mrsandrea2010]

Why does everything get clogged?

[@NYDRAINS]

The roots work like a strainer, catching everything that creates a clog.

[@maintenanceman1015]

Hated when they use acid to try to clean the drain. Dangerous of the splashing and hard on the cable . Other maintenceman used a hand held drill style drain tool did`t rinse it 3 days later , rusted up and broke into pieces like a pretzel . Hope you rinse that cable after that job !

[@NYDRAINS]

It gets rinsed 6-10 times a day at the next drain 😆

[@ocsrc]

You should carry Lithium 9 volt batteries ( for the smoke detectors ) Smoke Detectors, the cheap ones that use just the battery CO/LPG/Methane plug in detectors with 9 volt battery backup To sell to anyone who doesn't have them. You should tell them that every basement should have a smoke detector and a Combination carbon monoxide / LPG / NG plug in digital detector with a 9 volt battery backup Ideally you want them on every floor, but the CO and Methane are heavier than air and will pool up in the basement So many people die each year from CO and there have been several high profile cases of houses exploding because of a gas leak, either LPG or NG You don't even realize it until it is too late These explosions have damaged multiple houses up to a block away Everyone should have them, and you are in the perfect position, you are already in their home, in the basement in an official capacity. Asking them while you are working if they have a CO and Methane detector and explain why they need them and references to local people who have died from CO and the natural gas explosions, and tell them you carry the plug in model with the 9 volt backup battery which is the best on the market for the price and has a digital display that shows the level at all times, it is a great idea. Just as a service for your customers you sell them and will unbox it and plug it in for them. And the 9 volt batteries for the smoke detectors, tell them you sell the lithium batteries that last at least 3 times longer than a standard alkaline battery lasts. Here in Quakertown PA on Christmas morning we had a house where a fire started and the batteries were dead in the smoke detectors and the father and daughter were killed. The mother and son got out. Those are the stories that made me carry batteries and replace them for free when I worked in media and would go to apartments for interviews and I would hear the beep My chief engineer had his wife and daughter die when fire started in his house His son and he got out, but his wife and daughter didn't make it I have a smoke detector in every room of my house The smoke moves so fast You need every second

Can you make a video of your epic fails plz. I would love to watch.

[@NYDRAINS]

That would be 8 hrs long!!! That's how long I got stuck at one job 😉👍

[@dennisng1443]

After watching what Donald have to go through in this video, I don't have confidence in those chemical drain cleaners. What a waste of money. That is what they say about pouring you hard earned money into the drain.

[@NYDRAINS]

Took the words right out of my mouth 😉

[@SL33P-WALK3R]

🤓1k worth of DRAINO vs $49.95🤔🤔

[@NYDRAINS]

Lol

[@johnodonoghue651]

looks like two types of drain cleaner was used. one acidic and one basic, generating all the foam.

[@NYDRAINS]

I'm sure they did.

[@AlBracco879]

How many bottles of drain cleaner did the customer use? Holy crap I can imagine that sulfuric acid smell in the air Crazy I would have charged him with hazardous materials removal Great job Hopefully you rinsed / oiled that cable and drum Be safe
