Clogged Drain

[@bostedtap8399]

Underground tree surgery 😊. Great job Donnie, big catch there 👏. Thanks for sharing.

[@NYDRAINS]

Lol, thanks John 👍

[@RODALCO2007]

A lot of roots, matting and the occasional wipes. Great unblock and cleanup. Job well done Donald. Time for a cold well-deserved beer.

[@NYDRAINS]

Thanks Rodal 👍

[@MrBrombomb]

Good morning, Donald! Hopefully you’re having a good year so far. Apparently roots were the main culprit in this video. Watching from my recliner with a coffee in hand.

[@NYDRAINS]

Good morning Liam, same to you ☕️

[@ABuller2]

Geez!! That was a serious root/wipe/towel issue! It just kept coming. 😮 Glad you could help. Great job as always, Donald.

[@NYDRAINS]

Thanks Amy 👍

[@fnafplayer6447]

Nothing like watching your videos while at work. Even if my managers look at me funny for enjoying this kinda stuff lol. Also jesus that is a lot more roots than I thought

[@Troublejr2]

Same here ha

[@NYDRAINS]

Lol

[@chadmcmillan1907]

You sure got to the *root* of the problem there Donald! Good job!

[@NYDRAINS]

🫡 thanks Chad 👍

[@Fireship1]

That was practically a whole tree! Nice job and nice cleanup Donald! First rate work!

[@NYDRAINS]

Lol, thanks Fire 👍

[@chadmcmillan1907]

Wowee that was a LOT of roots, it was like the drain that kept on giving! Looks like Ratty can have his new summer home he wanted with the nest you made for him 😂

[@NYDRAINS]

Lol

[@ScubaCat3]

2 new caps and the pipe is fixed 😂 Nice work! They might want to get their next appointment booked since that's not gonna be open for long.

[@NYDRAINS]

😉👍

[@mariofilippi3539]

Lotsa' roots. Our basement use to flood due to roots until a large tree got cut down. Thanks for the video, great as usual.

[@NYDRAINS]

Glad you enjoyed 😉

[@Jayelsea]

Oh that would suck to have the access IN ones bedroom 🤢 I can't even begin to imagine the smell or the escaping sewer flies 🤮 Another stellar job, Donald 👍 I was amazed that with the shower running, the tap running AND the toilet being flushed that there was no spillage someplace before you got it cleared. Like WHERE was that water going? There must have been a gap in those roots where just the water could flow thru but no actual waste and that's what was causing the issue (I'm just assuming here)

[@NYDRAINS]

The clog was far away, giving it more time to fill the pipes and back up 😉 thanks Jenni 👍

[@mlieser1230]

That was certainly "rooty tooty". It's going to be a long time until that bedroom smells "fresh and fruity"! 🤣🤣

[@NYDRAINS]

Lol

[@lynx93tk]

I think that was the biggest root harvest I've seen on your channel, Donald. I would not want to sleep in that bedroom knowing that the sewer pit iand who knows what else s right behind my bed. Imagine sewer flies landing on you as you sleep, or your room filling up with bad smells as poopy water seeps in... Excellent video as always!!!!

[@NYDRAINS]

Lol, thanks Lynx 👍

[@peter15871]

That was a good load of root's, well done Donald tight/awkward workspace at those cap's . They keep on growing them root's ,great video..

Thanks for starting my week off right Sir Donald. Have a safe one.

[@tinkeringtaylor3053]

Excellent job Donald, with that amount of roots i think you could be back there in a few months 👍

[@NYDRAINS]

I'm sure I will! Thanks Taylor 👍

[@JockoFlocko]

Another great video Don, hope you have a great new year. I've noticed your video editing skills and camera positioning have really become quite good, especially your transitions. It's pretty cool to see just how much they've improved since you started posting them here on KZbin. It still blows my mind how roots of that size are able to make their way into cast iron pipes, great job getting them out.

[@NYDRAINS]

Thanks Jocko 👍 glad you enjoy 😉

Well, if anyone can find out what the problem is and clear the line, you certainly can! You are very good at what you do, thank you for sharing this with us, take care now.

I appreciate the comment Bev 🙏 ☺️ thanks 👍

[@MrOrthopedia]

That was the largest root intrusion ever, along with wipes, paper towels a pad and a gusher of POOPOO!

[@NYDRAINS]

😉👍

[@MightyMuffins]

Hehe I think you pulled out an entire garden from 5 house with that insane amount of roots on this one. Even got some worm friends to have fun with the spider friends you had greeting you into the haunted crawl space. They decided it was Halloween year round and that even had a mix of other goodies too. Still not the biggest root ball or amount of roots we have seen you do but man this one was impressive! You know damn well this location will be on repeat for you to unclog at some point.

[@NYDRAINS]

Sure was a ton of roots, and definitely will be back soon! 😉

[@brucetheloon]

As Ollie would say, It's chockers with roots mate.

[@NYDRAINS]

It sure was chockers Indeed!

Chockers Donald!👍👍

You removed a tree. Lol good video Donald

Thanks Prime 👍

[@Grimmarox]

Oh Donald you knew I need a good root project!!!Thank you!! Haven't even watched it just knowing that you have one is outstanding. And yes my family and friend's think I am strange.😂😂😂😂 Is that oil tank empty and not in use? Some states.or cities will help remove them properly. Just a thought. That has to stink. All that muck.

[@NYDRAINS]

Lol, and that tank is currently being used Denise 😉👍

[@haroldconover5221]

Great job!

[@DeadKoby]

I'm sure the residents were thankful to have the water able to exit the house again. That's at least a basketball sized ball of roots... wow.

[@NYDRAINS]

😉👍

[@johnsrabe]

Just wondering if those plugs fit all drains. But seriously, seems like the pad and the paper towels were the least of the problems there. Any thoughts on where that leak was coming from?

[@sewerrat7612]

Made for cast also come in multiple sizes.

[@johnsrabe]

@@sewerrat7612 (i was joking - they say “fitall.”)

[@NYDRAINS]

Lol, in previous videos, you might have noticed a third cap towards the street side that is a little higher than the others, I believe it was covered with dirt/sand .

[@garywicker2791]

Good job

[@NYDRAINS]

Thanks 👍

[@BEV323]

Wow, look at the wad of things (mainly roots), you got out of there, my goodness! 😳😲 And you were so nice to clean up, I know the female appreciated that.

She sure did 😉

[@MoonkaiYT]

Doesn’t your machine cable have the 5ft anchor and 2ft leader on it?

[@NYDRAINS]

Yes

[@Natoyarose]

Well that one didn't block up over night!

[@NYDRAINS]

That's for sure 😉

[@glennbarker222]

Oh my, another disaster in the pipes. Good clearance, that was a huge amount of roots, guessing the pipe has completely failed somewhere out in the street.

[@NYDRAINS]

Not quite completely, but that door is wide open 😉

[@rupe53]

Changing that oil tank is going to be a doozy when the time comes. It will probably leak out there in the dark long before anyone notices too, so a costly mess to clean up.

[@NYDRAINS]

😉👍

[@moneymakingmikeg.9555]

Holy Smokes Donald!!! I'd be scared that worms would come & eat me in da middle of the night traveling up those roots. Hoping all is well Bud, Dirty Jersey out!!

[@greg20711]

Can you use a sharp knife to cut the hair/roots off of the machine?

[@NYDRAINS]

Yes, I always have one on hand in case the gloves don't do the trick 😉

[@ShooterMG88]

Why is there a water well in the room? That’s crazy

Basement apartment that wasn't designed to be one.

[@jimzone8153]

Sewer flies and worms, not to mention golden nuggets and mellow yellow water. And roots galore! Any corn for Ratty?

I do believe there was some floating around 😉

are these mainly basement apartments?

Basement, yes, but not necessarily an apartment 😉

[@jordonmercier1391]

Dang!!!!😲.... That is a lot and lot, how in the world can those plants under the ground is looste go to inside pipe 😅

[@NYDRAINS]

🤷‍♂️

[@scottoriginal2491]

Hi. As always, love your videos. Just like to ask something. When you untangle the roots, would it be faster to use a Stanley knife to cut off the roots from the Doctor Octopus tentacle? I see those roots look tough and just wondered if it would be faster for you? I'm not a professional, but my wife is very curious. Love ya man!

[@NYDRAINS]

Sometimes yes, in most cases, it comes off relatively easy.

[@theskepticalchemist1953]

Okay - that was a serious clog!

[@NYDRAINS]

😉👍

[@TBrl8]

19:03 you just left that golden nugget there next to the opening? 😂

[@NYDRAINS]

🤷‍♂️

[@butters_147]

Donald! Cobb webbs again! 😳 Not nearly as bad as that Halloween episode that I commented on Ollie's channel the other day about, that was like a movie set, unreal. This one wouldn't be my cup of tea either. Must be a big bastard from eatin all those drain flies. 😂 Not much of a spider guy. lol. Snakes don't bother me at all but spiders, something about them that literally makes my hair stand up. (Arms, legs, neck. Goose bumps). lol. That's a LOT of roots. Yikes. Would a jetter be better for that? Just curious.

[@NYDRAINS]

Going in afterward with a jet would surly clean things up Shawn 😉👍

[@butters_147]

@NYDRAINS I thought so but wasn't sure because all I know of the job is from you, Ollie and the boys in Liverpool (Drain Unblockers). Thanks for responding. 👍

[@NYDRAINS]

@@butters_147 np 😉👍

[@FSHerrante]

There was a whole forest inside that pipe. Maybe it has been blocked for decades

[@Warp2090]

Why is there a bathtub faucet in the shower

[@NYDRAINS]

They most likely didn't have the room to install a bathtub 🤷‍♂️

tub spout in a stand up shower.....thats a first for me

Not for me, unfortunately 🤷‍♂️😉👍

[@lordraydens]

weird place for a floor waste. and a faucet in the shower?

[@Warp2090]

Yeah I was wondering the same thing, that drain is in a very odd place and the faucet is strange

[@NYDRAINS]

Yes, and usually, it's the homeowner preference to add a faucet in the shower. Maybe they didn't have enough room for a bathtub 🤷‍♂️

[@rufusmedrano2962]

[@kaib1125]

think its safe to say that pipe needs to be relined/replaced

[@NYDRAINS]

Definitely

[@terencewelch9800]

You might have some roots and slightly cleared it, but I bet it will block again. i can't understand why you don't put a jet down and put a camera down and completely clear it. Also, it looks terrible after the sludge is still in it. Maybe they don't want the full service, but I think it's ridiculous

[@NYDRAINS]

Some things do cost extra, and not all the time will the customer be willing to dig deeper 😉

[@maxpower2511]

Probably not a bad idea to re-seat that toilet

[@NYDRAINS]

😉👍

[@mr.dahliaking.202]

Imagine the tree is just sitting outside all happy and then out of nowhere a big metal teethed worm comes and chews away its roots inside the pipe and the tree is like: wtf? no waiT WTF OH MY GOD WTH GOING ON.. AAAAAHHHHH :D

Yes, @DrainAddict usually watches with Ratty 😉👍

[@Warp2090]

Why is there a bathtub faucet in a shower

[@eldoradoboy]

must be a single person that lives there.. doesnt use a ton of water so it could build up over a long time! flow slow and the pipes would hold volume of a flush or a shower till it finally got too bad..

[@rupe53]

basement backups are usually from water used on the top floors.

[@NYDRAINS]

This was a single family house with no tenets in the basement, and all drain lead to that one main house trap.
