Penetrator Blocked Drains 345 - ROOOOTS Woohoo

[@gingerkiwi]

I really like how you elaborate on what's happening. How it feels, what nozzles you are using and why, and what the owner could or should do to get the drain sorted. And your excitement when you clear out roots! I can't believe I am addicted to watching you and Ollie clear drains 🤣

[@penetratorblockeddrains]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@bostedtap8399]

Hi Clinton, keep buying those houses 🏘. Nicely done Gavin. Thanks for sharing

[@dianncharlan5648]

Great way to start my day, cup of coffee and "ROOTS"!

[@NYDRAINS]

Always a good day fishing 🎣 with roots! Great job Gavin 👍

[@penetratorblockeddrains]

Thanks mate! Hope NY is treating you well

[@NYDRAINS]

@@penetratorblockeddrains definitely 😉

[@bobbibuttons8730]

I love roots, no idea why but they are the best

[@cck6740]

I love that you have repeat clients...this shows what a great job you do.

[@msruby68]

Sad today, so I thought I'd come and watch one of your videos so you could cheer me up. Thanks!

[@marcomcdowell8861]

Nice little bonus being next to the main and everything draining down into it. Saved a little cleanup time!

[@penetratorblockeddrains]

I know right lol

[@amyrojekmayer182]

Have you considered hanging your root "specimens" on poles around your van? Like putting the heads of your defeated enemies on pikes around a defense wall. 🤔

[@Starrynightdiner]

Very Mad Max!

[@rupe53]

some of his catches are WAY too long to display in that fashion!

[@paulcooper2897]

Well, you can't win all of them! Thanks for sharing 🇨🇦

[@Starrynightdiner]

Nice chocolate river today 10/10.

[@Green_House]

🐸 Not to worry, Ollie had a similar problem in one of his last videos - full on branches growing in the drain!

[@penetratorblockeddrains]

I need to watch it. I’m behind on a few

[@Green_House]

@@penetratorblockeddrains You HAVE TO watch it (751) ! ! ! Trouble is, it's nearly 1.5 hours long. So grab yourself some popcorn and a comfy seat with Mrs P. 🙂

[@dianncharlan5648]

Great video Gavin! The owner has some work to do! Say "Hi" to the ladies for me and have a great day!

[@karenheartoriginal3783]

ROOTS…gotta love 'em!! Another great vid Gavin!

[@penetratorblockeddrains]

Thanks again!

[@cherylmack1260]

Those roots looked like a thorn bush like my roses grown on. Wow those were massive. It would probably be easier to reroute his whole storm system instead of trying to clear those buggers that would just regrow being so close to if not directly in the path of that tree. Great try Gavin. I enjoy your humbleness and honesty.

[@garlen8]

Love watching your videos! Gorgeous guy also!

[@caterinamartino8229]

Yep I knew it. I call your Double header Big Bertha she dose job all the time 👍👍👍👍

[@allanmanley6340]

Your mate in Sydney pulled out half a tree from a drain he was working on yesterday. I am sure the council is going to bust him for "removing" their pavement trees........

[@torchofkck4989]

Have you ever looked into getting micro root saw ? Almost 2 decades ago, We (as entity) had a 2" root saw for a midget vactor. The root saw speaking about was nothing more than a nozzle with basically a 1.5" long 6 fluted shaft bolted to the stubnose penetrator with 3 forward ports & 4 or 5 rear ports. The penetrator ports spun cutter & worked well. The most damage to even pvc was from stabbing & not by running. Maybe you can find & or fab one. Very simple. Just food for thought. Thanks for sharing.

[@doritleis2773]

A Stormwater Drain, and the next Fight with Roots! Wonderful great Roots! You work with to little Nozzle a long Time, then the right Nozzle, and a great Hill Roots come out. Think always what Olly for Nozzle to Take6. To last have You the Fight to win.

ROOTS !! ✌🏻😎

[@sharonfreemanpace1011]

Rooooots gone wild‼️🤣

[@miltonchavez1262]

Roots! Nasty root intrusions in that drain pipe...lots of specimens of carnage.

[@budgarner3522]

A root system that defied you, yet you've set up a good plan for the homeowner. Nice work.

[@penetratorblockeddrains]

Thanks 👍

[@caniacstevehenderson7115]

Root elimination is your business for sure !! 😁😁😁

[@sethwiedeman1799]

Gavin u found the customer problem tried to clear it but it needed to have it dug up and repaired I hope you get to do the repairs for the drain for him.right o mate si u on the next one

[@sunnyjoelandry3971]

You didn't try running it straight from the main hose. That way you get 100% of the pressure. And it will punch right through them tough roots.

[@penetratorblockeddrains]

Pipe is too damaged

[@penetratorblockeddrains]

Pipe is too damaged. You can feel something is not right and it’s not just tree roots

[@cherylwilliams2787]

Hey penetrator! Have a bloody good day from the USA! Lol

[@penetratorblockeddrains]

Same to you

[@barbaramoyer9884]

Good job 🌹 👏 👍

[@penetratorblockeddrains]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@patvisek222]

Those were massive sized roots in there! What a shame to have bought a new home and come to find there are issues like these roots!

[@johnensalaco5012]

What about using the DC? I saw a demonstration where those heads actually cut through plywood.

[@penetratorblockeddrains]

Too big for that pipe set up

[@dbsonlinesales4816]

Call Ollie....he'll get through them!!

[@robertrdell8898]

Hi, I was just thinking about your scuffed hoses. Have you considered 6 to 1 heat shrink tubing? It has epoxy inside to hold onto what it's shrunk around and may help save some hoses. Putting one every 5 meters or st may help judge distance as well. Just think of me as an electrician looking for new ways to use existing products. Try to not use the cheaper ones less than 6 to 1 shrink ratio.

[@Green_House]

🐸 New property!? Now we know why the previous owner sold. 🤔

[@penetratorblockeddrains]

Hahaha

[@stangaloski4208]

Those roots are bad ass

[@andylarner3531]

It’s a wonder your hoses last as long as they do regardless of the black tape

[@sally-annebrown1298]

Hey Gavin They didn't beat you, they were just thick. Apologise to Mrs P but you're looking pretty good and healthy at the moment. 😊 Hi to both Mrs P and Mini P Stay safe, see you next one

[@Eddy63]

All Good Gavin 👍🍺

[@martinmarsola6477]

Telling the truth may work. If not, repeat repeat repeat! 😊

[@tbelding]

what are those bristles called that you sometimes stuff into the drains to block crap from dropping into the storm drain? I've been trying to locate them, but can't find the right wording.

[@penetratorblockeddrains]

Gutter leaf stoppers

[@tbelding]

@@penetratorblockeddrains Thanks, that gave me another key word to search for. Gutter brushes, apparently, here. Basically I want to build my own cat cleaner toy :)

[@rufusmedrano2962]

ROOOTS! I hate those guys. Lol

[@wadeprior5203]

Hey buddy how you doing today hope you're having a great day and I think you're doing a good job and keep up the good work catch you later buddy❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

[@DJSHADDY2K7]

Penetrator you was you the axe penetrator had all sorry mate I got keep up and nothing thing more better.😊

[@toddbehrends1373]

The more the rooooots the better. Nothing Gavin can't handle. I don't think I have seen a failure video yet. I forgot, how many PSI did you say you have with this system?

[@penetratorblockeddrains]

5000 psi

[@2wwwilly]

Need your flexi cutter ..

[@georgegoulborn4162]

maybe you should have tried with the bigger hose, instead of the smaller one. more preasure and would have cut those routs no problem!

[@penetratorblockeddrains]

Nah the pipe is damaged and we won’t get through

[@johnpayne3953]

Why not buy some heat shrink to repair the damage to the outer hose??

[@glethajones3018]

Do you ever find snakes in the drains when you clean them

[@penetratorblockeddrains]

Not yet

[@brendadodson674]

Where is your crew? Madball, traffic guard and toad. Miss seeing them.

[@2wwwilly]

👍👍🙏👏👏🤗

[@janboll7174]

Looking at the entry/exit point at the street, seems like the manufacturers of those points would somehow (either in the mold or with a grinder after the mold) round the inner edge. With the metal cover, maybe make the cover an inch or so longer and turn the end over a rod to make a nice rounded edge. Don't they realize how sharp those edges are for hoses when the pipes need to be cleaned out? Maybe all the plumbers should write to the manufacturers and suggest this for future installations - after all, why should you guys have to be extra careful not to get your hoses damaged when the problem could be prevented at the manufacturing point. // And, as usual, good job - at least fining out the problem and suggesting a solution - which sounds reasonable/feasible (putting in new pipes and bypassing the current problem). Wonder which he'll do?

[@cathieshield6350]

where`s the team today lol ?

What happened to the DC38?

It won’t fit up there
