Thick Overdue Unblock - How Did They this get round the U Bend?

In this video we've got a septic tank that hasn't been emptied for a long time and all their drainage is backed up so we get all that running. Also we've also got some block toilets in a school you won't believe what was blocking it, I don't know how they got it around the bend?

Lovely video. I’ve never been out of the US, so I enjoy the scenery of other places. I appreciate you filming the houses and farms and backroads. I like seeing the towns too. May have to put a visit there on my bucket list. 😊

[@Keep_itflowing]

Glad you like it I like to try and get in some scenery where I can.

2. OMG! That is a ton of backup. Seemed like an entire second tankful

[@Keep_itflowing]

There was definitely a lot

[@jjxtwo1]

Wow that was like going back through the years at this house. All of dinners that ended up going down the throne and clogging the drain. I'm pretty sure I spotted some remains of the great grandparents 60th anniversary cake from 1977. Either that or some pork n beans. Hard to tell at this point. 😅

Why do people pour fat down the drain ? Its one of the worst things u can do to ur pipes goes in liquid but turns to solid when it gets cold. People r there own worst nightmares when it comes to drains. This was a good one.

[@MandM-yj3fb]

Yep and another disaster in the making is flushing wipes 👍🏼

[@Keep_itflowing]

I don't get why they do it still .

[@ItsJS9]

It’s inevitable, even rinsing you plates is still contributing to FOG buildup. Granted not pure fat going down but still long term same effects.

[@Keep_itflowing]

That is true you are never going to stop FOG Build up but people can help reduce it

[@ItsJS9]

@@Keep_itflowing Correct, that’s why nowadays PPM’s are required in 9/10 sites we visit. Can’t stop it but we can put preventative measures in place help. God us drainage engineers don’t get enough credit 😂😂

[@MrJerryleyva]

Hello friend. I live in the USA, and I've come across some really old plumbing setups. I mean, like the mid to late 1800s from toilets to old cesspools, which are that old and still in use in rural areas of the Northeastern states where the homes are close to 250 years old or less. My question is, what are the oldest drains and fixtures that you've come across in your work?

[@Keep_itflowing]

I have definitely seen some old septic tanks there are plenty of them about, A lot of the drains I work on are victorian and tend to be salt glazed pipe.

[@porker5749]

Why in the hell did you not jet the first drain? I was so frustrated that I skipped ahead to the second job! And when I say jet I mean with a turbo nozzle not just an open end on the hose!

[@Keep_itflowing]

I know looking back i should have done but at the time the water pressure was slow and i got bored of waiting for it doing it that way i could keep jetter running longer as it uses less water than if i was jetting

[@babooll5632]

We don't put traps in laterals here in the U.S. No disrespect, just wondering why

I don't have the temp link but search drain grabber on amazon they come straight up I brought one after this

[@tinaireson2193]

I think that first one still seems like it not flowing 100% tho

[@Keep_itflowing]

I don't think the falls are right on this one, also the line between the manholes seems to have a smaller pipe possibly only 3 inch

[@MandM-yj3fb]

Good video, but why don’t you use a Spade to break it up?

[@MandM-yj3fb]

So first a spade and then water?

[@lindamcadie2681]

I agree,surely you would use less water

👍 yeah I spotted that I did tell the caretaker he said he had seen it as well and was dealing with it

[@craddocraddoc]

As an absolute amateur in the drainage business I wonder if it wouldn't have been much faster to just jet both lines from the manhole to the house and the other way to the tank? Seems like a lot of work to push the sewage manualy with a plunger or by the water from the house and break it down with a low pressure hose?

[@Keep_itflowing]

I know looking back i should have jetted it but at the time the water pressure was slow and i got bored of waiting for it doing it that way i could keep jetter running longer as it uses less water than if i was jetting
