Unclogging Culvert After Flooding Rain To Drain Flooded Roadway

I do not encourage anyone to enter culverts, unclog anything, or enter flooded areas as it can easily become deadly without the proper training
I unclog drains for fun in my spare time (I have been trained in culvert inspections for years with private co.) and I am osha trained.
Exploring anything abandoned can be dangerous or deadly without experience. I don't encourage anyone to enter any abandoned structures. Not only is safety a concern, but often times its illegal, and when possible I seek out permission from the owner or local police. I simply go to document its history before it's gone forever and I leave things the way I find them. I only take pictures and only leave footprints. I assume all the risks and responsibility before doing this. Please don't attempt to do this on your own. There could be nails, asbestos, falling concrete, soft floors, animals, or other hazards.

I laugh when you talk about those "angry beavers" or "beavers gonna be angry". I appreciate your passion and concern. You give a great service. Thank you for caring!

[@defiante1]

Hard work this one, everyone likes the idea of clearing a culvert where you stay relatively dry and just rake it. You soaked yourself to the bone to get this one done, the hero we need.

[@desaltzman8762]

[@taenaran]

I’ve enjoyed all the videos of you unclogging culverts that had beaver dams built in them but I’d like to see you unclog city drains like your early stuff too. That’s what originally drew me to your channel and it’d be nice to see some of that again.

[@drb3nway]

He's stated a few times recently that he doesn't really unclog the city drains much anymore because he literally took care of the problem.

[@ystacalden]

not to mention that given the long drought, there wasn't enough water to cause flooding recently anyway

[@NecramoniumVideo]

@@drb3nway Also, there was a long drought. Can't unclog anything if there is no rain!

[@jasonreed7522]

@@NecramoniumVideo New England has been in a bad drought for most of the second half of summer, we even had a storm drop up to 5in in some places and it barely reduced the drought stage. (It was an all day event, and the heaviest rain was in southern CT) I'm hoping he managed to get some unclogging footage from that storm, although he has managed to put enough pressure (from shame) on the DOT to actually keep the streets clear of debris so the drains work.

[@trumpstinyhands]

You could unclog your own ?

[@Magneticitist]

I'm so glad videos like these can still be found online. I can watch guys going around doing the free mowing also. Stuff like that is a refreshing change of pace from the normal garbage they are trying to influence you with at every corner. There are enough cool people out there just doing useful and altruistic things to keep one entertained. That type of influence is only a good thing.

[@bshilling9924]

One of the things I love about your videos is when you talk you are talking to the viewers like they are right there with you. Only downside of that is I forget I am watching a video and go to mention something and realize I am talking to a monitor. Great video as always!

I love how the "Professional" culvert cleaners need giant machine's (and still do a terrible job half the time), while post 10 just needs a rake and does it right.

[@toaster1279]

Technically post 10 is a professional! He is trained in culvert things

[@TheActualMrLink]

He’s the most powerful among them.

[@stevendorries]

@@toaster1279 he keeps his amateur status to compete in the Culverlymipcs though

[@jasonreed7522]

Part of it is a time factor, theoretically the DOT should clear a culvert in under 3min and then clear a bunch, where as Post10 is just after the fun of clearing them (and good video footage).

[@64TommyG]

The biggest problem is when the "professional" has been there before him and destroyed the culverts! He is not allowed to cut off the damaged ends, unfortunately...

[@MichaelMillerVlogs]

Your videos are popular because they are peaceful. A lot of videos are all about stress and problems and conflict and worry. Watching you unclog pipes is relaxing. And there is something satisfying about watching the water start flowing.

[@ragdoll9786]

I was so happy when you stepped to the side because I could see the current getting very strong. You do exercise great safety .

I'm really glad to see you enjoying using the cultivator, rather than the Garden rake. I've been a professional gardener for 15 years and it is my favorite tool.

[@peterrudy9207]

Or referred to as a potato rake . I believe I had mentioned how long ago . In these endeavors to use one rather than the hard garden rake for city drains , etc. Bully Tools makes many different garden / digging tools , USA .

[@signalsnowtop1746]

Why is it when he said 'I hope there's not an angry beaver around' I just pictured a beaver slowly surfacing behind him and pulling out a switch blade? XD

Quite a few places are going or were going through drought, same in Texas and then some are getting floods so it varies. We had a good downpour the end of June and then one small rain in August, and another several inches a few days after that - so it did get to soak in better because of the short rain. Had a house in the subdivision get struck by lightning, I think it got their electrical because they have to fix it all from building to interior. Good job on the clog.

A friend of mine ended up in the hospital, because he drank some water out of stream that was dark stain water and ended up getting very sick from the water. Plus you need to wear gloves Neoprene, and chest waders of Neoprene you can wear just a pair of shorts and socks, I use to work for a company that did docks and boat lifts and I am 6 ft 2 inches tall and those waders would come almost up to my neck, very comfortable easy to get off, but like every kind you can get holes in them, but use boot goop, that works great on any type of fabric of shoes or boots wet or dry.
