Blocked Drain 461- 2024's BIGGEST Root Battle Yet!

[@gloriamccarthy4800]

You are the best drain cleaner, honest, reliable. Wish we had more like you in the USA.

[@helenascott389]

And the U.K. Rare as hens teeth here, we are on our 5 plumber in 3 yrs. The no shows are awfully stressful. 🇬🇧🤣

[@NancyMountainMansSis]

I was a teacher in Career Tech until I retired and our America high school students need more programs and opportunities to learn this work. Not enough money is put into Tech education.

[@samatlakha7651]

Hard working Australian like Ollie we need you guys in 🇬🇧 UK

[@helenascott389]

Rare as hens teeth!🇬🇧🐶

[@patriciamccormack7626Teashee]

Absolutely Fantastic video/job Gavin 😇👍 Big shout out to Paul for getting Gavin on the case to root out his Rooooots 👏 lol getting Lance to do the haircut on the pesky foliage 😂🤣😂 👋😁🦕🐸 Have a wonderful day Gavin ❤

[@penetratorblockeddrains]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@nathannoble9741]

Gavin. I very much enjoy whistling along with the jingle at the beginning of every episode. 😙🎶 🎵 🎶 🎵

[@penetratorblockeddrains]

Happy to hear that!

[@MikeDuckwall]

Gold Coast! Roots! Job well done! See ya on the next one! 👍🏼

[@penetratorblockeddrains]

Thanks 👍

[@budgarner3522]

Another successful outing for Gavin and his 3 assistants.

[@barbarastedillie1336]

So I’m wondering why he changed the camera angle from a pristine position where we could clearly see what’s happening to one where you can’t see squat!?!?

[@easternlcmroofing8751]

You didn't get dry untill you got home and had a shower.🤣🤣🤣

[@xcalibre222]

Those holes you drilled will come in handy in the future. Nice job Ollie! With those big arms and tatoos we should nickname you "Popeye". 💪

[@padrigderoiste3220]

He got the right man for the job

[@mnomadvfx]

You could do with a sort of silicone collar to fit onto those sharp edged holes so that you can protect the hose from them.

[@Wickgirl65]

I just love your traveling music….

[@chrishelms1967]

You know I see it.......I'm not gonna say it.......but I'm always watching 😂😂

[@starra0787]

that bush was not happy :D awesome video.

[@martinmarsola6477]

Another challenging root problem this day. Experienced past situations put you in command. You’re the best, Gavin. Cheers mate!😊

[@penetratorblockeddrains]

Thank you 👍

[@frankcarone3769]

that is a great specimen, another great job

[@bobkash3446]

Damn! That was a rooooot ball! Just amazing the reputation you have built, and it’s world wide just like that Goofy Drain Addict! Love both your videos!

[@teresacartwright5406]

The big flaw seems to have been in the design in the first place - perhaps architects & builders need to have expert plumbers (like you) on the staff! Excellent work!

[@penetratorblockeddrains]

Great point

[@GunfighterWyo]

Nothing like having a great rep. Those who don't well, there is a place way down in the ground for them. You go Gavin.

[@The1lot]

Those Roots were big enough but you show them who is the you. The Boss

[@bernardmcbride8759]

What an epic episode! Job well done Gavin. Regards from South Africa. 😊

[@penetratorblockeddrains]

Thanks 👍

[@sethwiedeman1799]

Mr. P for being a homeowner he should have cleaned his drain Spouts out plus he needs to get rid of the bend in the spout. U did a great job of clearing the customer problem.happyflushing roooooooots 👍👍👍👍

[@penetratorblockeddrains]

👍👍

[@trentg1396]

Awesome video, mate . I'm really enjoying the content 👍

[@penetratorblockeddrains]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@LindaAguire]

Love Roooots! From Northern Nevada

[@blainerudy2255]

Here in Florida,USA, We understand about the humidity.I woud wear a T-shirt and take 2 extra because they would get so wet and heavy.I would also start the day with a frozen jug of water and it would melt by lunch,but it would stay chilled all day.

[@sannehansen4156]

Another job well done! I almost duck on the drive out there when there's oncoming traffic - we drive on the right side of the road so it seems completely wrong that the cars are coming from the right side😅

[@Tatu223]

ROOTS !!! Nice one Gavin ✌🏻😎

[@penetratorblockeddrains]

🤙

[@ktkat1949]

THAT WAS EPIC!! Fantastic video Gavin and terrific work by the crew.

[@penetratorblockeddrains]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@gerardshort6149]

That was a really bad job you did there Gavin but you came through it with loads & loads of really stubborn roots .

[@ainerush8942]

Great work as always gavin❤ strange guttering pipework set up

[@richardphelan8414]

This has been chuckers with ROOTS for years and it's a bugger getting this mess cleaned out But Gavin will get it done

[@Green_House]

🐸 Given the travel distance, I thought the into music may have been just a LITTLE bit longer. 🤔 😙🎶🎶

[@maxmacdonald7174]

Travel time and milage is normal in my industry. Industrial controls systems.

[@epps2021]

That's part of the job. 😂😂😂😂 happy flushing roooooots🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@user-ol3oz8cs6b]

you are a very kind and helpful man....hope you are rewarded 100 times over

[@fayedewitt4183]

Oh my❤😊

[@CoachKarin]

You could build a serious tiki hut with them there roots! And…you literally are trying to pull a square peg tru a round hole 😆

[@jays106]

if i was the homeowner i would for sure be getting rid of that double bend block up behind it to give the upper section a straight run to the lower

[@StreetSoldierUK]

Because it’s so common I’m surprised people don’t do like a five year maintenance camera check,

[@kevinwalker4623]

I knew about hydro excavation but I like a hydro arborist!

[@tbecause4897]

Gavin, you should acquire some cut gloves for these and other operations. Level 7 should be thin enough to still work with

[@Eddy63]

All good Mr P ... Thx

[@penetratorblockeddrains]

Thank you 👍

[@omervandenbelt]

Why not use a piece of platic pipe around the hose and into the hole to avoid getting saturated, especially since the edges of the hole are sharp and can damage the hose.

[@BlondiNativeAme3]

10:10 Looks like my indoor clothes dryer flexible hose.

[@tuminhdung5804]

good 👍🌷🌷🌷💖

[@PC-if1wh]

2:44 gotta love that PENTR8R license plate! Great job on this one! Best drain cleaning ion KZbin! Subscribe!

[@penetratorblockeddrains]

Much appreciated!

[@mikemanzo8495]

Hey everyone. What’s your favorite nozzle Gavin uses? Mine is the single barrel.

[@lesterburtard7588]

25:31 Howdy, Long time listener , , first time caller Like your vid's I have an observation , , , Would adding water as your pulling help remove soil' from the roots Helping to reduce the diameter of the clog , , , You know where i'm going with this ty, les

[@penetratorblockeddrains]

Water could help

[@geo752]

One hole at the top of the red section would have done both jobs ,straight pull out plus might have helped being a bit higher to stop getting saturated Then maybe not 😂

[@Raymail-tj4cf]

Made head hurts like someone threw me down on the ground. lol 😂

[@CarolCoard]

Roots do alot of damage!!! Great job.😊😊😊😊

[@the2060ish]

No root is safe from the Penetrator no matter the distance away. 👍

[@steveb1972]

That down pipe. I’d just replace it! Phew!

[@johnpayne3953]

I don’t know if you saw my previous comment but why don’t you use some heat shrink tube (electrical) to repair your hose?

[@penetratorblockeddrains]

Tried and couldn’t get it to work

[@rogermccaslin5963]

I know what you mean about going far away from home base but I'll go wherever I'm needed, provided they are willing to pay. The furthest I've been is about 4 hours one way. Generally, I'll only do that for someone I've worked with before who knows I'm the man for the job and are comfortable with what I've charged in the past. Those types of jobs are usually larger jobs that can more easily absorb the added expense of my drive time. If somebody calls me for a toilet clog and they are far away, I'll tell them they'd probably be better off finding someone local if they can. I was once on the job for 15 minutes and done and I charged $600 because of the drive. The customer knew ahead of time that it was going to be a hit but they wanted me to go anyway. They were happy to get the toilet working again. In fact, they were so happy, they called me back when one of their guests clogged a different toilet a couple of months later. It was a penthouse condo on Miami Beach so I didn't feel too guilty about charging them. 😁

[@penetratorblockeddrains]

Haha nice

[@chrisbond8192]

You need to get a Gold Coast affiliate/Franchisee 👍🏼

[@penetratorblockeddrains]

One day lol

[@steann1]

wow…. I didn’t know Ricky Ponting cleaned drains for a living… .. you hit this one for six..

[@penetratorblockeddrains]

Cheers

[@cojones8518]

You're in Karen and Kurtus from Cutting Edge Engineering neck of the woods. Should have stopped by and gave Homie a headpat.

[@allanmanley6340]

If you pour some Castor oil down the drain (from the roof gutter) the I am sure it will all slide out...... (old mother's tip 😜😜😇😇

[@paulbailey5488]

Carry a pair of secuteurs, man

[@kellym.]

This might be a dumb question, but why can't you push roots to the street instead of bringing them towards you?

[@runechristensen470]

If you push something it will expand and block, but if you pull it will be easier to extract.

[@FresN8]

Someone should be able to 3D print something that slips over the bottom edge of those holes you drill to prevent shredding your hose. Or maybe just put a hole in one of those rubber plugs you use to cap the hole afterwards.

[@jeremyvandeusen4317]

Did you play any Sepultura while clearing the roots? 😂

[@BlondiNativeAme3]

Gavin my security puter program says your commercial for the fingernail cutter is a low trust web site.

[@lschmidt2405]

Are you always carrying your camera in your right hand as you work? Or is it on a tripod? Or what

[@penetratorblockeddrains]

I mix it up

[@robertkreiling1746]

Do you ever suggest that some of your customers dig out and get rid of some of these trees and plants that cause this stuff ?

[@penetratorblockeddrains]

Not really trees. But suggest repairs and in some cases that might mean losing the tree

I have idea for when you don't have a root or toilet problem videos save your dash cam footage and show the idiots that get in your way on the way to your clients or send them to Scott's Dashcams, been watching him as long as I been watching you. I live in the states.

[@penetratorblockeddrains]

I should have that set up. Seen a grown women dressed as a pirate the other day waving a fake sword pretending to stab people. All I thought is this is the generation that is going to be running the country haha

[@carolf-nf1nb]

So....I am never going to have wipes in my house, I will never let any fat go down my sink, and I am never going to eat corn again.

Talk about putting a square peg through a round hole

[@sniper8669]

👍🏼

[@kazholt1]

❤❤❤❤❤❤😊

[@beckyirvin2504]

You pulled a square root out of a round hole.

[@shintaco7517]

They put in 5, 90s. They could have had one.

[@arniewingco3561]

Ah, I see your problem with trying to get those roots out of the downpipe ... you're trying to get a square peg out of a round hole

[@doctornamelisted4280]

Maybe tell people to stop planting trees in the drains

[@deborahcochran3836]

Need to take a change of clothes with you or two

[@paulbrown3391]

Why don't you take a change of clothes with you .

I do have a change of clothes

You have to stop starting that engine like that. Your loading up the compression in the line, & if the bypass doesn't kick in straight away, you will, damage the starting system, or burst the hose.
