Blocked Drain 250 - Unbelievable That A Blockage Wasn’t Picked Up Sooner | Tree Root Infested Pipes

[@davidgramm5027]

Gavin, get a 6’ piece of pool vacuum hose to protect your jetter hose from sharp edges.

[@rondalees]

Roots…my favorite!! 💕 thank you Gavin & Mrs. P and little p for taking the time to make and edit and for sharing all the little bits of yourselves with us! Appreciate you and your family. I think our little ones are about the same age (mine is 3 august 11th) so i know how hard it is finding time for things.

[@penetratorblockeddrains]

Glad you enjoy. Yes it is a busy work load but it’s all worth the while when people are enjoying the content

[@davidvincent7050]

I lived in that house in the late 90’s, didn’t have any drainage issues then - but roots grow a lot in 20+ years.

[@Palmstreet-u7x]

believe u me and I find it always so intriguing that roots can within around 2/3 years find their way into the plastic pipes and completely block it, water on its own is not always a problem but any toilet sewage going through there causes s blockage, any shrub or tree that has runner roots find a way to reach the breakage in the pipes and grows into the pipe,

[@hestheMaster]

An incredible superhighway of root removal! More jetting on these neglected drain pipes is needed! Love how great of a job you do Gavin.

[@penetratorblockeddrains]

Thank you 😊

[@juliegranne9135]

Look at that beautiful blue sky. Would love to be there. ☀️🌤️☀️🌤️☀️⛅ Happy days Gavin.

[@michelineheise5959]

As usual a demonstration of roots growing within the pipes. As always you find the solutions.. Thank you for the upload of your vlogs. Because of the excellent feedback the owner aware of the root systems growing in all the Ts that needs to be jetted away. Just love the results.

[@sethwiedeman1799]

The problem is tree roots blocking the storm water pipe gavin u did a good job of figuring out the problem for the customer right O 👍👍👍👍

[@penetratorblockeddrains]

Righto 👍

[@tonylock7657]

It's true! Water does swirl anticlockwise in the southern hemisphere as it goes down the plughole (or hole in the pipe!). #UKviewer

[@KevinMacken]

Only when people from the top off the planet are watching,😃

[@KevOXO]

Around 37:40 I thought plenty of roots there, are going to see a small tree keel over.

[@martinmarsola6477]

A most difficult situation to correct. But as always, you find a way out of this mess. Your the best Gavin. Enjoy the weekend. Cheers mate!

[@penetratorblockeddrains]

Thank you 😊 and have a great weekend 👍

[@andrewkiwi1]

That was a bloody good effort you put in. Now you have a plan.

[@jamiekatz7591]

Great video Gavin, really want to see how this plays out. Hope that happens, and its solved for the homeowner you can feel the worry from him. RIGHT O !!!

[@penetratorblockeddrains]

Thank you 😊 Righto!

[@titanx04]

Got to the 4min remaining, I’m like no it’s almost finished. Hope to see 2nd part to this one. Wish I videoed my works I did.

[@kevtris]

a marble rolled by at 18:38. wonder if we'll see that emerge from the pipe?

[@EddyFreddyful]

36:37 "Wipers for my glasses; wipers for the go-pro." NO WIPERS for the drains!

[@brianlamarra5491]

Excellent job Gavin, that was quite a bit of roots. Have a good weekend.🌎

[@mattkabful]

AWESOME camera work... very cool...simply, I know, but really interesting.. well done!

[@penetratorblockeddrains]

Thank you 😊👍🪠

[@sally-annebrown1298]

Tree roots+small pipe=really blocked pipes. And I believe the trees follow pipes because it's easy nutrient rich water. Great job Gavin, you got it in the end

[@penetratorblockeddrains]

Thank you 😊

[@peter15871]

Wow, Gavin this job's getting harder ,your working hard to get this job sorted. Looking forward to the next video''''

It’s bloody awesome nozzle

[@timothypirnat3754]

Wow Gav, what a complicated mess. A multiday exploration with big roots too. Hope you get it sorted out.

[@DeadKoby]

That's one messy job. I had a jetting biz find a collaped & root filled pipe that was the out-flow for my septic system!!! Fortunately they had the digger out next day to put in a new HEAVY DUTY plastic pipe. Sometimes replacing knackered pipe is the best solution.

[@penetratorblockeddrains]

If it’s completely had it or can’t be cleared properly I agree dig it up and repair with a larger and better quality pipe

[@Tatu223]

Wow what a garbled mess !! Awesome job Gavin

[@penetratorblockeddrains]

Thank you 😊👍🪠

Uk. Sept.23. Your standing in a pool of water on top of electricity cables. Did you turn the power off.

[@rayoscroft3775]

Another great job mate😮

[@duckfam7136]

The lens light on the water looks like teeth. So when the water rises up it looks like it's going to eat us! 😂😂😂

GAVIN,,,HI,,,,What a blooming mess, ROOTS, & roots, dig up is a sure item, Stay well, 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@penetratorblockeddrains]

Big mess!

[@josephlownes5138]

Could you gone from the city main in the street if it had access by a man hole cover to get those roots

[@penetratorblockeddrains]

It didn’t go direct to the manhole.

Was that a marble that rolled past at 18:40?

[@johnhackenburg5369]

Where is it comming out

[@vaughanellis7866]

Just wondering why this storm water is so far underground? Could it be that whoever installed it piggy backed into the trench that had already been dug for the power & Telecoms?

[@pamelawalsh8153]

With the single reverse thingy it's like you are fly fishing for roots lol

Tenants no longer bring repairs to the notice of landlords, else they get the boot or massive rent increases. Landlords should be making bi-annual maintenance of stormwaters in Qld, NT and northern NSW and WA.

[@michellefoster1020]

If you want to stop your meter mark moving you need to invest in some sticky inside heat shrink clear tube twice the size of your tubes because it shrinks three times the diameter of the OD It will seal itself to your tubes and your meter mark should not move just a note

[@timhull8664]

Wheres yer DC43 pentrator?

[@BlondiNativeAme3]

An artificial christmas tree branch in the pipe, WOW!

[@peoplenewstoday]

I like driving intro. Add music.

[@jaystringer155]

if we have roots, why aren't we using a root cutter?

[@1975original]

I feel like the single barrel is the best for roots.

[@garethmccarthy2990]

DC 43 is the best by far, unfortunately the Penetrator doesn't use it 😕

[@jeannewheeldon6796]

For a strange moment I thought you ment blast it with a single barrel then my brain woke up it was the wrong single barrel.

[@caniacstevehenderson7115]

Great job 👏 👍

[@penetratorblockeddrains]

Thank you 😊👍🪠

[@davide.s.9880]

I know this is an older video and I don't know how I missed it. But it's a kind of long video so you must figure something out. But I might tell the owner to dig all new system.

[@garethmccarthy2990]

Any chance of getting the DC-43 for future blockages, the Drain Addict seems to love it👍🏻🇦🇺

[@penetratorblockeddrains]

Maybe one day. It’s too big for those 90mm storm water jobs.

dose those home owner know were there piping are at in there yard but then again in the USA and canada they are getting away from all of the underground pipes just because of what you are seeing rain run off is on top of the ground .

Did you remember to cover the concrete if it's supposed to rain?

[@JustJanitor]

I hope I never have to wrangle with such an epic foe

[@nanny23]

The pipe looked small to me. Perhaps one a bit bigger would allow for better water flow to allow for quicker draining.

[@penetratorblockeddrains]

It was 90mm pvc. I would replace all with 100mm

[@cecilgore495]

please use caution when putting your hand into the pipes one never knows what may be inside there.

If that pipe is staying I would put a wye in and raise a cleanout to the surface

I'm really curious why the pipe are so small, and so fragile when we know the damage it can do when not working correctly
