[@zalmaflash]

Came from "Drain addict" - watched and subbed.

[@DrainPros]

zalmaflash Thanks Zalma! Hope you have a great rest of your weekend 👍

[@Superintendent-iy9zv]

Wow, corn, beans and tampoons in the well water. YUMMY IN YOU NEIGHBORS TUMMY!!

[@Straycurrent]

Always reassuring to find something that was very likely the cause and not have to be concerned there still might be something that is a problem. Great video .

[@DrainPros]

Straycurrent Agreed! Definitely nice when you culprit and know that was definitely the clog 👍

[@robfl07]

Your channel is blowing up! Congrats and keep up the great content!

[@DrainPros]

Thanks Rob! Truly appreciate it 👍👍

[@mattking8332]

I’ve never heard of orangeburg until today awesome jet work

[@DrainPros]

Thanks Matt! Yeah it’s keeps us busy up in the northeast, we’re loaded with it in the ground. It’s a shame for the homeowners though because they cant just dig one spot but have to excavate and replace of of the orangeburg.

[@diamondssd1]

I used to work for this company and we would lower cameras into the manholes on the streets to take video and pictures of the drainage and sanitary lines. The city would contract us and then they would get an idea of what infrastructure was like and what needed to be repaired. My job was to pop the manhole cover, lower the camera down and constantly try to angle it and place it precisely so the operator in the van could take the video and the picture. One day we opened up a man hole, and it was about 10 feet deep with a sanitary line about 2 feet in diameter running through. We found a blockage so large we had to report it. It was a massive pile, about 6 feet high of shit, baby wipes, tampons, toilet paper etc. The entire street had been contributing to this blockage for quite some time it looked like. I was blown away by how massive this was. And i was so glad we didn’t have to deal with that lol. Hats off to you guys who are in this line of work, someone’s gotta do it

[@lorennicholls5901]

Oh yeah, I'm familiar with the orange burg piping just replaced mine 2 years ago, thanks for sharing!

[@DrainPros]

It’s a shame that it ever went in the ground! Up in the Northeast it’s everywhere. Most people find out after they buy the house

[@catsbyondrepair]

@@DrainPros yea I found all right I yelled a loud fuck

[@scottdunn4506]

Pads and tampons should never be flushed there’s trash cans for reasons

[@DrainPros]

Scott Dunn Yes! If only people listened!!🤦‍♂️

[@ryanwaltos2206]

@@michaelarkell5437funny, we never see any women hydrojetting the clogs they cause.

[@Tailwhip222]

i remember living in a small 2 story apartment building yrs ago. Neighbor couple above us kept flusing "flushable" wipes down their toilet, screwed up the whole building's plumbing! Landlord was livid! 😛

[@colleencr.4096]

A 30yr old person's flushing a pad down the toilet what is wrong with her head holy cow. Every woman knows pads never go down toilet neither should tampons but that's always a fight...

[@DrainPros]

Colleen Cr. I say the same thing every time I see it.. pretty sure even teenagers these days are told a million times not to flush them...I don’t know if it’s just laziness or it gross to them not too but it definitely keep a bunch of drain cleaners around the nation busy! 👍

[@DrainPros]

TuckerFearnBentley That’s just not true.. if you haven’t had a drain clog, you will! That’s a lesson that I don’t have to teach you 👍

[@DrainPros]

TuckerFearnBentley Have a great weekend 👍

STOP PUTTING THOSE DAMN PADS AND TAMPONS DOWN THE FRIGGIN TOILET - BOTH LAZY & DISGUSTING BEHAVIOUR...

[@colleencr.4096]

I do believe either on the box or in the dang instructions its say not to flush a tampon. This is why they have sanitary boxes for disposal

[@andrewsmith9174]

Question: are there foot markers in the hoses or do you guess-timate and go by the preset hose length.

[@mulani3936]

I was raised in a family of all men an they always make me feel so little an embarrassed when I’m on my period they don’t provide any type of trash can for me to discard an I’m just now knowing you can’t flush pads my toilets overflowing I told everyone it was just poop an I’m so embarrassed if a plumber comes out at snakes out my pad I deliberately put in there 🙁

[@SarahBear67]

When he said a big ole one I lost it. But it’s just common sense not to flush these things

[@mattcat231]

great video, but I think you found Rati's bed and food stash, lol! But a legit question, how well does the old orangeburgh hold up to jetting?

[@DrainPros]

Scott McLaughlin Not very well! We used the smaller orange hose for that reason with less psi about 2500. If we hose doesn’t keep moving at all times inside the orangeburg it would chew the side of pipe up and leave chunks missing. The home owner on this one knows it’s just a matter of time before the pipe needs to be replaced

[@dwbunloaf8245]

Corn is universal it seems and now beans!! LOL

[@DrainPros]

Pretty amazing how they don’t break down at all in our systems! Have a great weekend David 👍

[@kempingerrohrreinigungberlin]

I don't know how you got over 500 subscriptions so quickly, but I congratulate you on that strike !👍

[@DrainPros]

Thanks Kempinger! No really sure either but appreciate it

[@braduh1]

You guys need some two way radios lol.

[@DrainPros]

Definitely! Haven’t had good luck with them in the past working with them, but have had a bunch of good recommendations of what ones to look at. 👍

[@braduh1]

@@DrainPros also maybe invest into a manhole cover hook lol

[@DrainPros]

Bradley Edwards We have a bunch of them 😂 just have found it easier over the years to pull them with a pair of channel locks lol.. I’m sure when I get older I’m going to want something with more leverage!

Ah man, you touched your hat after the corn and bean. 2:35

[@reubenandmum5427]

One pad blocked the entire pipe?

[@danhutson3460]

I had some friends who had to have their septic tank pumped out & she said she was embarrassed at the amount of tampons & condoms they found. She was told to stop putting those things down the toilet.

[@WetCoaster]

Orangeburg Was that a brand name? I see it once and awhile here. We call it no corrode.

[@DrainPros]

Steve Whipps Yeah I believe they are the same thing Steve. We call it orangeburg up our way because it was made in orangeburg NY. It’s funny to see the old ads once in a while claiming root prove and indestructible 😂

[@coco_b]

WHO TF FLUSHES A MAXI PAD??????

[@ryanwaltos2206]

Not a man...

[@user-xg3nf7yq7j]

Tampons can make things brake that’s why he’s there to help but all woman DONT flush tampons

[@Boodieman72]

Tampons and pads should go in the garbage not down the toielt.

[@DrainPros]

Random Acts of Video 😂 as soon as we saw that one float by he immediately was mad at his nieces. Almost ever commercial bathroom we go in they have the signs up to not flush and more often than not they still do 🤦‍♂️

[@charliemartin-k7m]

With Tampons sometimes women can't help it but with pads I don't get why they flush them.

[@somberghost5160]

how do you all have the stomachs ???? i gaged when he touched the pad

Great video

Thanks Tony! 🍻

[@mooshi3401]

what is corn ??

[@tracybowling97]

Do we have boundary traps here in the U.S.?

[@DrainPros]

Tracy Bowling I know there’s quite a few in the south east and out west. We have barely any up in the northeast. Usually you see them in places where the city sewer is shallow and areas that don’t have basements!

[@jeddavis8468]

@@DrainPros They are common in eastern Pennsylvania and Philadelphia. They are called curb traps there. In Australia where I live now they are called boundary traps. Drain Addict shows plenty of them in his videos. In New York City there are house traps inside the basement. I'm originally from Reading, PA and every house and building there has 2 adjacent sewer caps by the curb with one having vent slots or 2 vent pipes with mushroom caps in the yard with a trap below. Philadelphia has 1 slotted vent by the curb and San Francisco has similar vents and traps by the curb too. Great videos by the way. I'm newly subscribed to your channel. Plumbing is quite different in the land down under. Toilets themselves rarely clog here and plungers which are so commonly seen next to toilets in the US are never seen in next to an Aussie toilet. Aussie toilets have a much larger drain passageway and they don't syphon like American toilets do.

[@DrainPros]

Jed Davis Welcome Jed! Man I wish every house had two clean outs waiting for me outside 👍... 🙏 for you guys to stay safe over there!

[@chrisgordon5719]

Where is the Potable water well? Anyone done a potable water test on the well water?

[@DrainPros]

The well usually is on the opposite side of the house as the septic tank. Usually you take a bottle of water and drop it off at a water testing/filtration company to test.. ours typically cost $15-50 depending on how in-depth we need the test to be👍

[@drain119]

good

Those damn red rats, I am in the Marine industry, try letting that fester for a month in hit weather, that is what I get to deal with. Anybody that works in black water, my hat is off to.you.

I live in nyc and often throw baby wipes down the toilet. Do you think it will ever cause a huge problem for my house? So far I haven't had an issue.

[@imperialguard451]

YES. wipes are not flushable!! even if they say flushable or some sort, they arent. the only thing that should be flushed down a toilet are bodily waste and toilet paper

[@Arizona_lilly]

Unless it saids flushable still they r thick don’t do it it will be problem
