4:25 I've Never Seen Outlets Like This Before🧐 That Was Very Satisfying To Watch. Here Where I Live The Drains Always Gets Clogged With Sand😣 We Have To Ours Cleand 3 Times A Year. Thanks For Letting Me Know That There Is Such A Kit To Clean The Drains
Thanks for watching and we're glad you found it useful! Oftentimes drains like this will egress at a retaining wall or at the street curb. Ours were added after the house was built, though, so that was the quickest and easiest point. I might actually prefer sand in ours lol! Ours gets clogged with leaves and other organic debris which rots and smells something awful!
Very satisfying video! Although my favorite part is him laying his head right next to a large fresh pile of dog crap for the entire finale of the video.
The Other thing that a home DIY can do for blockages like leaves is called a Drain Bladder/Drain Balloon. They go on an ordinary garden hose and have worked well for us historically with storm water blockages.
Great suggestion! Those are super simple to use and can indeed clear many blockages. If nothing else, they're great for emergencies to get you back up and running quickly until you can treat the blockage either chemically or with a drain auger.
After watching your video I ordered the same one from amazon. It was better than what I was trying to use. A snake that attached to my drill. My pressure washer does 4,500 PSI.
Absolutely! It was fun (what power tools aren't, right? 😂) but it was messy and really did smell terrible. But the good news is it worked well and our drains are flowing much better now.
How would you do your French drain? I caution you if it's a true French drain that thing will absolutely destroy perforated. 2nd if your gutters are plumbed into your French drain you are taking water off of the roof and putting it into perforated pipe which means pipe that had holes in it. In simple terms your moving water from the roof to the foundation, that doesn't make does it? Gutters should be piped separately from foundation, you will overwhelm the French drain. If you would like to understand just how much water a roof can produce, disconnect a down spout and put it into a 5 gallon bucket, the next time it rains even if it's a small rain storm check the bucket then multiply it by the number of downspouts. It will shock you, how much water your moving
You are commenting about the stench, but there is dog doo just inches away from your head 7:18 Makes me think the stench was way worse than I initially thought.
Great suggestion and I plan to do that next time! I did not expect such foul smelling filth to come out of those pipes so I was caught a bit off guard.
I Live in a duplex. (IF you can call THIS living!). My Landlord has to come out every two months to blow out a blockage. Everytime we get a big rain. A blockage in the sewage pipe from the house to the Street occurs. There's NO sump pump in the basement. Both units are connected to the One sewage pipe going to the Street. My Landlord said it's a gravity system. ( I'm not a plumber. So, I have to take his word!) There's a pipe in the basement that pukes out the sewage into the basement. Landlord is ALWAYS mad as Effff when I have to call him. He doesn't do a thorough job at clean up in the basement. We have a dirt floor. The stench is awful!!! 🤢🤮🤢🤮🤮 I asked him to upgrade the system to utilize a sump pump. He says, "NO!!!" I'm presently saving money to move.
Depending on where you live, there's a good chance what your landlord is doing is illegal (as far as refusing to fix the issue correctly). Raw sewage backing up is obviously a health hazard! If you can afford it and there's nothing else keeping you there, I agree that moving out is probably your best bet. You don't want someone like that as your landlord. But if you're going to be there for a while yet, you may want to contact your city and see what kind of recourse you may have. In any case, good luck!
@@realidiyrenos Thank You for the advice. We've decided to save up the money to move. As an ace in the hole. IF he refuses to remedy the situation, we'll just move. The guy has 34 houses that he rents out. Everyone has a variety of complaints. While he and his son's ALL have beautiful homesteads on several acre farms. The county is corrupt as far as the building inspectors and judges. Money talks here. Have a GREAT weekend and be safe out there.
Did you give it a little wash first ? Jokes aside, i did the same thing as you, bought a hose that attaches to my Karcher pressure washer & it did great at clearing a drain. It’s not going to cut roots out though.
My inspiration for buying one of these is another UA-cam channel called Drain Addict. Now, granted, he uses a probably $2k+ professional pipe jetter but his can cut through smaller tree roots. It's possible if you have a ~4000 PSI pressure washer that you might be able to do the same. Mine is "only" 3200 so I can't say for sure, though.
I’m still trying to figure out why you have three inlets so close together and each having their own discharge line without branching into a mainline. Way cheaper/easier
If they all work properly then it would probably overwhelm a single pipe, plus I'm guessing one of them is a French drain. I hope the gutters are separate from the French drain or your gonna eventually be fighting more expensive things
Must be an extremely flat slope, all my pipes stay clean as long as I keep the outlet from building up with dirt. They are pretty flat too so I'm surprised
It's tough to say. There's over 100 feet of pipe and I don't feel like there's a huge elevation change but it may be deceiving since the main entrance and exit are on opposite sides of the house 🤷♂️
@@realidiyrenos doesn't take much near level to cause problems. I have a 1.5" kitchen sink pipe that rises 1/4" over 6' distance and what a mess that causes. This product would be great for cleaning the accumulation out
you are inspired by Drain Addict, and i am inspired by you mate !! it can be done and you proved it with a domestic jet washer. i am seriously thinking to buy those jet-bits..what is the name for that set of jet nostrils ?
It's a 3200 PSI machine which is fairly powerful. It cleared out the lines enough that we haven't had issues with the drains backing up into our driveway anymore so it seems to have worked well enough 🤷♂️
LOL they're old ratty shorts used solely for dirty DIY projects these days. They may appear to be in decent shape from afar but, in reality, they're falling apart and covered in paint and stains.
Great question. These are outlets for drains on our driveway and a few of our gutter downspouts so it's storm water. You do not want to route storm water drains into the sewer as the large volume of storm water could quickly overwhelm the sewer system and cause sewage to back up into houses. The other option would be city/county storm drains but I've never heard of residential drain systems connecting to the city storm drain systems. So the last option is draining into the yard or street. These were installed prior to us moving in and I suspect they chose this location because it was the cheapest option. Considering it's all rain water, it's not a big deal having the outlet where it is.
Hey now, nothing wrong with Betty Crocker 🤣 Agreed, though. We would have done things differently if we had installed them ourselves. Alas, they installed 20+ years before we purchased the house.
The pressure washer used is 3200 PSI 2.8 gallons per minute so it uses very high pressure water with a relatively low volume. On top of that, the jetter tip I chose flows an even smaller amount of water. The goal is more so to blast the obstruction loose with high pressure water and not so much to overwhelm it with a large amount of water.
What can I say, I like to live on the wild side 😂 Jokes aside, I was not expecting what came out of there to be quite so disgusting and by the time I realized what I was getting myself into, I was already covered in filth anyway so gloves wouldn't have done much good.
Tell me about it. It was done long before we bought the house and it definitely needs some work! Unfortunately, most of it is underneath a solid concrete patio ☹️

Yea is like a jet but doesn't work nearly as good. Like at all
And they are a lot cheaper too!!
File this under satisfying 👍🏻
Also, I hope that was faux poo at the end 😆
I was so exhausted after all that work, I had to take a load off 🤣

I think you'll be pleasantly surprised. Let us know how it works!
Looks like something we may need to do with are French Drain. Did a great job. Thanks for the inspiration

I know this smell🤮 Brought me back to my childhood when my mom or dad would clean out the sump pump in the basement🤢
All good!
🙏
You are commenting about the stench, but there is dog doo just inches away from your head 7:18 Makes me think the stench was way worse than I initially thought.
Well that would explain a lot! 😂
Always go in head first if the option is available
Suggestion, next time a pair of dishwashing gloves will keep the filth and bacteria off your hands, from splashing and the hose.
Great suggestion and I plan to do that next time! I did not expect such foul smelling filth to come out of those pipes so I was caught a bit off guard.

I put a zip tie on the pressure washer control so it would just stay on all the time while I was using it worked great.
Good idea. Thanks for the suggestion! 👍
That was more than acceptable for fifty bucks , plus you can use it again in the future if necessary .
Exactly! It would have been a few hundred to have someone come out and do the same and now, like you said, we've got it for future use as well.
There might be back flow into the lowest pipe in heavy rain. That might explain the black., organic material, stinky, water.
Love those steel-toe flip flops.
I'm good about hearing, eye, and breathing protection but I may have some room to improve in the clothing and footwear department 🤣
@@realidiyrenos I don't image water falling on your toes will hurt too much!
All good 👍

Sump pump only pumps water. You would need a sewage or grinder pump which runs into alot of $. 2k-4k
👍👍👍👍🔥🔥🔥🔥
I’m still trying to figure out why you have three inlets so close together and each having their own discharge line without branching into a mainline. Way cheaper/easier
Those were installed 25 years prior to us moving in. I wish I could tell you why they did a lot of the stuff they did 🤔

Those were outlets genius. He was jetting from exit to entry and 1 is likely the French drain, the other two are left and right side of the property.😅

I'm going to buy this and bury some pvc pipes just for the experience of it. 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
😂😂 It certainly is satisfying in a way!
White pants really? LOL

Hi there! The kit we used can be purchased at a.co/d/iyYeqbh
@@realidiyrenos thank you so much have a great day 🏴🇬🇧👍
Its plob a dead animal, is that a tird ?

Why would any pipes be draining out onto a lawn instead of directly into the drainage system. That's just yuk. That turd though 😆😆😆

You should just extend those pvc drain pipes to the edge of your property……then it’s somebody else’s problem.
Great suggestion! 😂

I'd be wearing a hazmat suit!!! IF I had to do THAT Job.

What kind of hillbilly Betty crocker drain pipe setup is that???
Hey now, nothing wrong with Betty Crocker 🤣 Agreed, though. We would have done things differently if we had installed them ourselves. Alas, they installed 20+ years before we purchased the house.
One for lots of rain water. Getting it away from the house.
There is hardly any water coming out, doesn’t seem right.
The pressure washer used is 3200 PSI 2.8 gallons per minute so it uses very high pressure water with a relatively low volume. On top of that, the jetter tip I chose flows an even smaller amount of water. The goal is more so to blast the obstruction loose with high pressure water and not so much to overwhelm it with a large amount of water.
Is that real or fake poop by his head
🤣
There’s a pile of shit right next to your head I think Santa left side on the right side.
🤣
Soooo... No gloves???
What can I say, I like to live on the wild side 😂 Jokes aside, I was not expecting what came out of there to be quite so disgusting and by the time I realized what I was getting myself into, I was already covered in filth anyway so gloves wouldn't have done much good.
Music choices and drug use, not a good combo.
Good one! 🤣
Your pipe layout if fuxked
Tell me about it. It was done long before we bought the house and it definitely needs some work! Unfortunately, most of it is underneath a solid concrete patio ☹️
Tool
Indeed, it is a tool. A pipe jetter tool.
