Hello Oliver, Merry Christmas and a happy New Year to you and your family. I really appreciate all that you do to share your work via UA-cam. I have learned heaps and I am now able to (mostly) take care of my own storm water and sewer drainage blockages as a result. I use a tiny little Karcher pressure washer with some hose and nozzles from Amazon. Takes much longer to cut through the roots as I only have about 1200psi but it's a bit of fun and very satisfying when I finally do get things flowing again.😀
yeah I asked Oliver about this a day or so ago -- I couldn't find the Thanks button either -- then it re-appeared, so he must have turned something ON again
Once again, your values are never compromised as you go the extra mile! "Pressure washing" the driveway is not part of the job, but you did it for this customer. Praise God for you and all of the other people who really care. Thank you! May the Lord pour out His blessings into your life in 2025 and always! Blessings from Alabama ❤️
I can’t believe that amount of roots. Did get worried about Ratty on occasion in case he got lost down the drain. A very successful conclusion. Well done Ollie and Ratty.
Nice job on those mega roots. I like what you’ve done on the inside of your new van. A place for everything and everything in its place. The beauty of your system is, only you know where everything is. I like your style.
I really appreciate customers who appreciate workers like the lady that brought you a nice glass of water and was helpful and considerate for those customers I go the extra mile although I go that extra mile anyway because some people need to know they're loved they've had a hard time and it can heal them
Wow what a messy one! It is nice on a cold, snowy afternoon in Kentucky watching you work in Summer! Those were some massive roots. I thought you were going to need a chainsaw at one point. Great job and a great clean-up at the end. All Good 👍!
Looked like a porcupine takeover in there. 😂 You look like you’ve been weed eating wet grass there Ollie! You could surely use a mini handheld chainsaw and a tow rope that was insane, those were trunks growing! Cheers, that was literally some backbreaking work!!
Hi Ollie , I'm liking your longer videos, you can see just how much more than "just clearing drains". Have a very happy and healthy new year. Best regards Ken (UK)
Hello Oliver. I live in the USA and you got me through the Covid stuff and I enjoy your videos. Corn. There is always corn. Baby rat and ratty are always fun and I love the message of Know Jesus Know Peace. God bless you and yours Oliver. You are truly a favorite. Happy new year and Merry Christmas.
This one was a bit of a mess but came out nice in the end. The tree roots getting that thick is something we haven't seen in a while. All good Ollie 👍🏻 God bless
Thanks for the video of Blocked drain cleaning Sydney AU awesome Ollie well done 👍❤❤. All good 👍. Take care of yourself and family and friends and be Blessed ❤️.
Quite the job - especially those roots. Here's a much easier way to get rid of those roots. .. Years back I had to remove some overgrown lilac bushes that were over 10 feet high! The roots were huge. I ended up using a Milwaukee Sawzall with a coarse blade - 6 teeth per inch. I just pulled the trigger and let the saw work the blade into the ground and through the roots - very easy going. .. The blades are cheap - six blades for 10 USD (Masterforce brand). Bosch cordless reciprocating saw model CRS180B sells in US for 129 USD. .. Thanks for all the videos!
So satisfying watching you pressure wash the driveway. I remember you use to do that a lot when I started watching your videos. Keep up the good work. I’ve learned so much about drains and jetting. Happy New Years Ollie and 🐀, from Monterey, California.
G'day Oliver. Greetings from a cold UK🥶. You gave that "bearded pit" a close shave (lol)! Those roots were quite large.The biggest I've seen for a while. Ratty diving into the mud again. He must love it! Have a great week. Safe unplugging.👍👍👍
@barbarawiddowson635 I think Ratty takes any chance he can get to have a mud bath beauty treatment. It relaxes him during a stressful day "supervising". 😉
I always get some extra pleasure watching the dirt just melt away with time. Excellent work as always and I bet I'll be coming back to watch this one again later.
Nice job Ollie, those were some big roots. You could use a cordless reciprocating saw with a Diablo carbide tooth saw blade. They work great especially cutting in the ground. Take care… John
Those pits were growing trees and plants. What a work out. Was nice to see the lady checking on you and giving you a glass of water. Always above and beyond. Was nice to see Ratty on the job as well. You make a great team. All good as always.
Wow 😳 this was more like Root Excavation than jetting Ollie. This job was huge haven’t seen one like this in a while. I hope this was your last job for the day. I hope your back gets to feeling better after this job. Have a Blessed day Oliver.
When you dropped that metal grate into the water and the Kookaburra laughed it cracked me up and made me remember Laurel and Hardy " Now look what a fine mess you've gotten us into, Stanley ! * Stanley whimpers * " 🤣👍
This video is different from the usual ones !! I enjoyed and i had a nice cup of coffee at the end of the video. It should have better with an angle grinder to cut the massive roots than using the axe in a confined place...i thought to save your elbow-grease!!! All good at the end.
Witch caps ! I like that ! Never heard it before. Here in the states it's either pylons or traffic cones . You learn something new each day with Ollie :)
HI Ollie I like watching your videos before I go to bed then can watch the whole show when I'm being bothered by no one else see you in the next adventure 👍👍 God bless you Ollie and your family and friends 🙏
Wow some roots !!!! We have Melaleuca trees here in Florida from Australia when they are in bloom smells like mashed potatoes and butter. big job!!!! Cheers
Crikey,that was some serious rootage,but you and ratty were the guys for the job. Hope you all had a great Christmas and new year.all the best for 25. All goooooood.👍
Now, if only there was a multi tool hand held angle grinder available to dig out those big roots from the outlet/inlet pipes ... 🤔 a beauty day it was playing in the drains Ollie!!! 😊
Loved the long video, but OH MY! 😲😲 I am not sure which was worse here. The roots, or the muck. I think, because of the size of the roots and their sheer number, they win! Just how many years had it been since the drains had been cleaned??!! When you were flushing them out it looked more like a toilet drain, not a storm drain. As usual, you went the extra mile, and ended up with a happy client and job well done. Thank you for the video! Stay safe! Blessings......
Ollie yet again proves he's a stand guy. Taking the time to clean the algae off the driveway! 10/10 Ollie! Also, some of the largest roots ive seen on the channel!
You can't beat the mighty penetrator and the croc, for those tough roots, and of course the job being overseen by ratty. Happy New Year Ollie another top job!
Ollie and a Block Drain. In the long to run in to a House a Trimming Hole with a great Grating. You will this Grating give on the Side, but the can fall. In the full Mud Hole. You must fishing the Grating before You can with Presswater the Drain clear. Much Work and a great Fight with Roots before the Drain is clear. Then Wash the long Way and the Road from much Mud. Great Work what You and Ratty Perfect make. Thanks for this interesting Video. 👍🐭
Well that was a bit of a mess. The only things that weren’t coming out of the drains were wipes, and corn. Happy New Year Ollie,… and the Rat. 👍all good.
This has to be the largest root clearing and unblocking ever! Fantastic job, Ollie. I imagine if this was on the 'Uncut' channel, in terms of duration anyway, we would have had 'Drain Addict: The Movie'!
Just like a chocolate milkshake, only crunchy! Well done Ollie and ratty. Was concerned when we saw the bottom camera fall into the pit, thought you might end up on another fishing trip!

So you were re-enacting Ollie, ay? Did you do the walk and the voice? "Blocked drain" LOL
Awesome that you gave Ollie the credits and donated :)
@@AquaPeet I need to borrow Ratty or Croc for a few days to make it more real
@@AquaPeet I say "Blocked drain" every time that there is even a hint of a slow drain in any situation I am in :)
☠️ 4:17
Finally you tube letting me donate to your channel again, I’m not sure where the thanks button went, but it’s back .
Man. I'm glad i went to the comments. I'm going to start giving thanks to him as well. His work is awesome.
yeah I asked Oliver about this a day or so ago -- I couldn't find the Thanks button either -- then it re-appeared, so he must have turned something ON again
W comment
Why would you give $50 to a guy that already charges easily over $100 per hour lmao
@officebear4637 are you saying the work and the entertainment provided is'nt worth the tip?
Once again, your values are never compromised as you go the extra mile! "Pressure washing" the driveway is not part of the job, but you did it for this customer.

Thanks for being so entertaining 😊 and I wish you all the best from me in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧
Thanks heaps @jack-jackalan23-35!! Much appreciated!👍👍
People all over the world were pulling those roots with you! Great job
I was.
👍👍
I was wishing you had a small pruning saw.
@@Stanley0844 I was shouting "angle grinder! angle grinder!" hahaha
We were all ROOTING for Ollie
Haha yeah, I thought I was the only one 😂
I kept calling for your angle grinder for the roots but you got it in the end. Good work. Thanks for the video.
That or a hack saw.
This was one of the most enjoyable Drain Addict videos I've seen in a long time.
I can’t believe that amount of roots. Did get worried about Ratty on occasion in case he got lost down the drain. A very successful conclusion. Well done Ollie and Ratty.
He is very faithful to locate ratty as a missing child & faithful to return him home

This video could be titled “Indiana DA and the Temple of Dirt.” Love DA’s hat! Best channel on UA-cam. Cheers from a chilly South Florida.
Cheers Jeffrey!👍👍
😂😂
Ubb😊
Mfk indian temples are more cleaned than house and temples also have much money that they can buy your entire area city you foool budha lalu
Looked like a porcupine takeover in there. 😂
You look like you’ve been weed eating wet grass there Ollie! You could surely use a mini handheld chainsaw and a tow rope that was insane, those were trunks growing! Cheers, that was literally some backbreaking work!!
A nice green smoothie from the top pit. Thanks Ollie! Biggest roots I've seen on this channel.
For Ratty he needs his greens
@Kirbyroth Ha! Good one 😅

Cracking job, Ollie. All good after going 10 rounds with the grate and roots.

This has to be one of my top ten favorites!!!!! Thanks Ollie and Ratty!!!!!

Another epic job, my back hurt with you when you were pulling those monster roots! All good
That was quite the catch, some monster sized roots! At the end looked like a game. Great job Ollie 👍
Was having a rubbish day until I watched this video. Cheered me up no end, Thanks Ollie. ALL GOOD 😃👍

Great one Ollie, 👏🏻👌💪🏼messy and all, at the end I thought you were about to ask the fellow to hose you down, you sure needed it.
I always get some extra pleasure watching the dirt just melt away with time. Excellent work as always and I bet I'll be coming back to watch this one again later.
Great job as always 👍
Homeowner - My stormwater has been blocked for 20 years. Better get someone out to clear it over the xmas holidays....... 🙃
WOW!!! That was a WORKOUT! The roots were as thick as a small adult's arm! Huge improvement! Now if there was only a shower and change of clothes....
A very satisfying video today. Thankyou Oliver and Ratty 🧡
👌👍! Always going the extra mile! For the customers! Thanks for sharing! All Good! Ollie
Wow! That was a root fest! Great job Ollie! 👍✝️
Nice job Ollie, those were some big roots. You could use a cordless reciprocating saw with a Diablo carbide tooth saw blade. They work great especially cutting in the ground. Take care… John
Wish I had your disposition Ollie. I would have been cursing like a sailor if I dropped that grate 😂
lol👍
Those pits were growing trees and plants. What a work out. Was nice to see the lady checking on you and giving you a glass of water. Always above and beyond. Was nice to see Ratty on the job as well. You make a great team. All good as always.
Awesome video Ollie 🙏 No shortage of roots today! 👍
You really earned your money on this one mate Duncan UK
Wow ! Rootzilla !! If any pipe was screaming for a double barrel special it was this one ! Good work Ratty (assisted by Ollie)
Wow 😳 this was more like Root Excavation than jetting Ollie. This job was huge haven’t seen one like this in a while. I hope this was your last job for the day. I hope your back gets to feeling better after this job. Have a Blessed day Oliver.
Wow! That was a massive bunch of roots! Great job Ollie!
At the start Ollie I thought it was a porcupine in there😂, I like this video Ollie it was great. A really good job done.
Another amazing job done!
Well Done Ollie!
Julie - Worcestershire UK
Hardest working guy on youtube. And does it with a cheerful attitude. Thats my boy Ollie!
Loving all these videos from both channels you legend.
Both channels?
@@Originaldrocks361 drain addict, and drain addict uncut.
Happy New Year to you and your family Ollie! May this year be another great year of awesome videos and adventures for you! ❤👍🏼👍🏼
Hello from the Uk
Love Your videos.
Strangely therapeutic to watch.
When you dropped that metal grate into the water and the Kookaburra laughed it cracked me up and made me remember Laurel and Hardy " Now look what a fine mess you've gotten us into, Stanley ! * Stanley whimpers * " 🤣👍

Witch caps ! I like that ! Never heard it before. Here in the states it's either pylons or traffic cones . You learn something new each day with Ollie :)
One of my favorite unblocks ❤
The "Croc" is an awesome piece of kit,love the sound it makes chewing the snot outta them roots
HI Ollie I like watching your videos before I go to bed then can watch the whole show when I'm being bothered by no one else see you in the next adventure 👍👍 God bless you Ollie and your family and friends 🙏
Chonky roots😮 nicely done olly❤
Wow some roots !!!! We have Melaleuca trees here in Florida from Australia when they are in bloom smells like mashed potatoes and butter. big job!!!! Cheers
What a wonderful Sunday treat. Sure missing that warm weather on this side of the Hemisphere! *Holy Roots Batman
That was some serious rootage...
Another one up Oliver's sleeve 😉
Wow, those pits looked like garden planters, but they didn't stand a chance against Ollie and Ratty. Epic clean. Thanks for the video!
Hi Oliver, you never failed to entertain. Your videos are entertaining and very informative.
Crikey,that was some serious rootage,but you and ratty were the guys for the job.
Hope you all had a great Christmas and new year.all the best for 25.
All goooooood.👍
Exhausting work 🥵. Courage ! 💪
Now, if only there was a multi tool hand held angle grinder available to dig out those big roots from the outlet/inlet pipes ... 🤔
a beauty day it was playing in the drains Ollie!!! 😊
@talondavid9408 Agree and thought the same thing...... 😊
Hiyaaaa grinder for the roots 👍 great job 😁
This video had it all! Fantastic job and so satisfying to watch🤩
I'm going to take a nap after helping you with that one, Ollie.
👍 That was exhausting. I need a nap as well after such hard work.
This video made me ponder on aging and when to sell your home. Prices esculate so fast but repairs and maintenance can become so difficult.
I've had a good Christmas already but @2:55 made me laugh more than I have for a long time. Thanks.
lol👍
Good afternoon ,it’s 1:00 pm here in 🇺🇸. Nice to see you again Oliver 😊
What can I say. Just brilliant.

Well done & yes a great explanation about concrete & roots 😮
2:57 and that's why manhole covers are round!
Loved the bird laughing at him.

A very tough and tiring job there Ollie. Well done.

Thanks heaps @andriustumpa9711!👍👍
Ollie I love it you and me are workaholic 👍
Great job. God bless you my friend
That “Hey yaaaaaw!!” When pulling the roots hit hard
OMG those roots when the camera first went in the pipe I thought it was a dead hedgehog! 😮😮
That Croc is one bad fitting !! Love it,💚
Just like a chocolate milkshake, only crunchy! Well done Ollie and ratty. Was concerned when we saw the bottom camera fall into the pit, thought you might end up on another fishing trip!
Roots, bloody Roots!! Even Max Cavalera liked this vid!
Olly! Looks like you got to the ROOT of the problem with this one! It was a tough one but you did a great job! Cheers!
Wow nice work Ollie, lots of salad.👍
Happy New Year to you Olie, Good job once again.
I like when Ollie goes from plumber to powerwasher.. it’s cool watching the concrete getting cleaned up.
Happy New Year Ollie.🎆🎇 Looking forward to another year of blocked drains. 🌎
Well done Ollie!
It's crazy to me that such an easy to maintain drainage system was so poorly maintained.
