Blocked Drain 435 Getting Rid of the Roots for GOOD! 🙋‍♂️

[@brianparker5228]

It's a tree, it's got ROOTS, there in the pipe . ABSOLUTE CLASSIC STATEMENT 🤣🤣🤣🤣❤

Hahaha 🤣

"I'm not an arborist" - starts cutting branches off a tree...😄 ETA: Should've called this episode "Trench Warfare"

Just considering going to bed at just after 8 pm here in the UK, my pre sleep entertainment is found! Thanks Gavin 😁

[@wesjohnson3035]

Who is Darryl?????

[@thepagan5432]

You mean Gavin, just blame your spellchecker?

[@lilacscentedfushias1852]

Lol, no I’d just text my friend about her hubby Darryl 😂😂

[@thepagan5432]

That root looked like a bull whip. We've said it before about some plumbers not thinking about the future, when things go wrong. I'm sure you can get 45 degree bends, but I suppose cost comes in to play. Had a bad day, had to take one of my dogs for the long sleep, cancer had him. He was called Snoop and was a very vocal dog, not loud, just a moaner. Thanks for posting, it made me smile, regards to you and family, be safe and well 👍

Sorry to hear

You are a good and funny man. You make me laugh how you never seem to let anything bother you. You and roots have a battle all your own. You are hereby awarded the Title of Doctor of Rootology.

Thank you 😊

Holy crap, I was thinking during the drive to the job how I missed the crew and BLAMMO!!! Thanks so much.🙏

You are so welcome

All plummers should be more like you! Awesome!

[@penetratorblockeddrains]

Wow, thanks!

[@BlondiNativeAme3]

That must be a record size root. World record, maybe 😊💙

[@kelvingrebert7315]

awesome job wiith awesome roots

[@sharonfreemanpace1011]

It still amazes me the amount of roots that can grow inside of a waterline. I continue to learn so much. I am starting to detect subtle changes in the sound of the nozzleheads as you pull and push them through the lines. It's quite a learning experience. Until the next one...see ya Gavin.

[@theawfulgambler]

Could be my fav vid of yours! 😮

[@penetratorblockeddrains]

Awesome!

[@bakerzumbersmith7341]

Roots, the unseen silent enemy, lol!! Love your videos.

[@penetratorblockeddrains]

Yes! Thank you!

A very good Thursday evening to you all

Morning

[@Starrynightdiner]

Gavin I think you were having way too much fun with this one. 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@Starrynightdiner]

Umbrella Tree also known as Schefflera. Common house plant in USA. I have two i’ve had for 30 years or more. Easy to grow. Wish we could grow them outside here. ❤❤ Toad is looking a bit rough. 6:54

Thank you 👍

[@susanmuckenfussmoore4995]

A hard day's work, but ohhhhh so rewarding in the end. There should be a "RootMuseum" for the monster specimens that lurk in drain pipes.😂 Good seeing the crew on the road again.

[@caniacstevehenderson7115]

Interesting assignment for s ure ! Well done & Happy Christmas

[@davidleatherbarrow2640]

Hi Gavin. The shrub is a Variegated Dwarf Umbrella Tree. And Yes their roots are like a Rubber Tree. Great Work. I hope You have a Whirlpool in the laundry at home. Regards. David.

[@MRPUD1]

Another classic of how long is my drain root . Is it me or do house builders purposely put trees & large rooted plants next too houses . It seems to keep you busy & us entertained. But I really think trees next too houses is daft. But keep them videos coming enjoying watching in the uk

The gang is back! Yay!

Are all ausses as laid back as you - Ollie? I really like the both of you doing your stuff. Not like here where everyone is a grup--it. Keep on keeping on😅

Thanks for another video haven’t seen it all yet but just happy to see one. Great video Gavin lots of roots and a maze of pipes.

[@penetratorblockeddrains]

Hope you enjoyed it!

[@katebarker5612]

Great video Gavin. This one tested your skills alright. Lots and lots of lovely roots. The owner really should have called you in years ago instead of trying to fix it hinself. Those roots at the end were well worth the wait.

[@grahampickering1560]

Mega roooots on this job! Great to see the team back too 👍

[@penetratorblockeddrains]

Yes! Thank you!

[@carolf-nf1nb]

I am so happy to see the team!!! I hope they had a great vacation!!!

[@rtsolution11]

It would not take me long to hook a truck to that stupid tree. Trees and bushes do NOT belong next to the house or on top of utilities. Crazy tough job Gavin, and as always top notch work.

[@jamiekatz7591]

Gavin, THAT WAS AWESOME!!!! I was pulling that branch with you wanting to go after them all. Glad you picked this job and not the other. Brilliant!!!

Haha it’s getting cooked

[@cjdixon7132]

Amazing how the roots fill whatever space they can find. Watching you pull roots out like a magician pulling handkerchiefs out of a magic hat LOL

[@beethoven2JAMES]

Awesome 👍😎

[@garrettstitt5489]

For a second there Gavin I said you closed up that pipe system too soon before you located that long primary root. Luckily you had just enough room to angle it out of I/O. Good job! Next time: gallon of gas and torch - for entertainment value. 😂

[@ktkat1949]

I didn't realize that comments helped your viewing. Sorry I will comment on every video from now on!

A large tuber is what I thought.

What does winding the pipe around your hand do? 😊

The hose don’t mean?

[@nicolad8822]

It alters the position of the hose and nozzle to get all round the pipe?

[@laurieconway7694]

Gavin just when I think I have seen it all with you I see something that is out of this world. That ball of roots looked like a boulder. You are simply awesome. Merry Christmas to you and your family.

Gavin if you can't blast them out pull them out . Also hope your Mrs P didn't go mad for soiling your shorts lol.

Nice work Gav!

[@penetratorblockeddrains]

Thank you 👍

[@felipesants8936]

Hello there

[@penetratorblockeddrains]

Hello

[@allanmanley6340]

Maybe this can help solve those "sharp" bends: take a length (you decide) of 35-50mm PVC pipe and glue a "slow" 90degree bend on it. Cut the tube (not the bend) in half (length) long enough to feed your hose through it comfortably. The bend inserted into the pipe should protect your hose..... Have fun!

[@atkron95]

My guidence councelor said I should be a plumber. I think i missed an opportunity there. Do you need an apprenctice? I'm over being a help desk support drone.

Can’t remember exactly. But I did have about 2hrs down time waiting for a delivery and avoiding the rain

What's with the tape on the pvc pipe? I'm sure that's not your work.

[@nicolad8822]

Running repairs?

[@BTW...]

Tape wont patch a high pressure hose leak! The tape is to mark length of hose i.e. Counting the marks you can say the cutter head is stuck 10 metres up the blocked pipe.

[@jillanderson7048]

@@BTW... No, not the tape on the high-pressure hose used to clear the drain..the grey tape on the pvc drain pipe.
