To help you all out in the comments. Directly under the pit was the agi drain installed by the builders and that was the plan we all looked at. The owner drilled some holes in the bottom of the black pit and that was allowing the water to slowly drain and discharge into the agi and that then discharged into the larger pit on the path. In the beginning I mentioned I located the camera head under the black bucket/pot plant in the paved area. I never marked it with paint. I just use an item until I know what is going on. The out let from the pit did go in the opposite direction. But it quickly took a 90 bend towards the house and then entered the main drain that took me down to the area I originally located the camera head and the area you could see me listening. 10 years ago when they installed that agi and redid the storm water (in the area I was looking) they just capped the pipe off 🤦♂️ Hope this helps you all out. Thanks for supporting this great video 😊👍
Hi Gavin ,a few mention's in the comment's below ,it got me puzzled too. why did you put it in the pipe to the left then walk to the right help me ! Rarely seen you not succeed, But nice to hear you reassure steve about all the different option's to solve this. Well done you gave 100%...
Love your channel. And the difference in plumbing installation compared to the USA and Mexico where I live most of the time now is very interesting. Even the toilets are much different.
A great attempt to solve this problem. After further reviews, the next step may be the solution? Thank you for the great video and chat. See you on the next. Cheers Gavin! 🇦🇺🙂👍🇺🇸
Bunnings sells a High Pressure line and nozzle for a Karcher. I have problems with leaves🌿 blocking my downpipes as they have more 90° bends than normal. I know it's cheap and nasty but that doesn't stop me feeling like im the Penetrator or Drain Addict for the day. All i need is a mascot 🐢.

Shame they didn't show you the plan first as that would of saved you all that work you done Mr P . Also you would be there for about half hour and i hope they give you the job for them .
6:00 why would you hear the Jetter head that direction when they're going the other way? Come on are you new at this? I seen it clear over here in the United States🇺🇸👍👌✌
I noticed that too.... Gavin pushed the "penetrator" to the right side and walked to the left to find the noise.... Maybe there is a curveball here that we did not see.
@@joshuaguenin9507 Which I didn't understand either because that means the drain circled the house...it was in the opposite direction. He knew how much hose he had out (what 20m?) no way that was far enough to loop the house. I also didn't understand it when he said that it ended there because he didn't locate it with his camera so...yea, it was a confusing one.
Will continue vid here.......but @ 5:50 ....how could you expect the "HEAR" the jetter head THERE.....when the hose in the hole is heading the opposite direction?
Watching you standing there waiting for the drain to go down and seeing you using R2D2 a bit, I wonder if getting a 50 HP vacuum with a 30 - 40 metre 40 mm diameter hose to suck all the water, grime, pebbles out would work. I'm talking about a super duper R2D2 on steroids (10 times the power). The sort of thing that would empty a washing machine in about a minute. It would probably have a 1 litre petrol motor on it. Ps Know all about the aches and pains of doing hard labour (digging) when you reach your 40's
Don’t you have that locator thing that drain addict guy has where he would get his camera to that spot and then locate it with the thing that goes with the camera??
@@johnturner4400 I was saying the same thing in my mind, but I then reminded myself that Gavin's the expert here and I'm just an arm chair QB. I was also "Why is he in the other section of the yard listening for the jetter when it went the other direction"...My question is HOW was that missed way back when? Too bad it's been a decade, had it been a few months at least you'd have a shot at somebody fixing it due to their error. :(
That was a ridiculous option I don't understand why you would tell them to do that, sounds to me like you're passing the buck and taking the money and running!!!

Thank you. Please pin this to the top
Thank you Gavin!
Thank you gavin i think we all just lost the plot! lol . you know what your doing, ...
So in others words, someone had no idea how to do propper pipe work and messed things up really badly which ended up causing even more problems.
Just about to hit the hay and boom, penetrater video!
Well done Gavin at least you found where the problem and you recommended options to the customer
Thank you 😊
Love the plumber-Smurf music while he is enroute in the beginning :)
Oh, is that what it is!
I love the music too.
Me too 😊

I do admire your forthrightness about your limitations regarding digging. Have you thought about subcontractors work like that?
Yes I have. It can get complicated if they don’t work to my standard and there is a problem.
@@penetratorblockeddrains I see your point.
Another great video Gavin but besides that, what a lovely garden!
Thank you 😊
Once again detective Gavin and his team solve the problem 🤔 and leaves with happy customers. 😊
You should call yourself "The Drain Whisperer" 😊
First time I’ve never seen you not clear a drain ❤❤
From memory this couldn’t be cleared.
Also It happens and I do post and share those ones
I love your videos and your excellent work. they are always fun to watch. you and Ollie are the best on youtube
Well thank you 😊
Gavin u did solve the problem with the blocked drain I think the customer was happy with what u did for them. RightO
Keep up the good work
Okay sending jet hose to right and looking for it to the left???
A very good Tuesday evening to you all from Wellington Somerset in the UK
Afternoon
Anyone else cheer when you hear it is a blocked storm water?
That was a tough one Gavin ‘ 🔦😀🧤
Love your channel. And the difference in plumbing installation compared to the USA and Mexico where I live most of the time now is very interesting. Even the toilets are much different.
And right hand drive vehicles! No thanks. If I ever visit your country, I won’t be driving.
Thank you 😊
Wait. . . 🤔 Is he thanking you for Not driving there in future(if you visit)?? Or for saying thanks for the interesting video. ??? Lol😋 🤣😆
The Americans wouldn't know what to do with a bidet anyways. They are so full of themselves and overweight from it if you get the hint.
The title card sound is the closest thing to a brown note I have experienced. Still love the episodes.
🎶🎶💩
Excellent video as per usual with a side salad of detective work. Sad that your job breaks your body Sherlock Penetrator.
Haha 😂 Sherlock Penetrator
Hello from the UK a very interesting investigation. I love these. Thank you.
Thank you 😊
Hello from the States.
Hello 👋
Yahoo it’s Penetrator time
What’s the name of the bush above where you’re working…. It’s really pretty 💜🇬🇧
A great attempt to solve this problem. After further reviews, the next step may be the solution? Thank you for the great video and chat. See you on the next. Cheers Gavin! 🇦🇺🙂👍🇺🇸
Thank you 😊
What is that beautiful plant with the red?
I think it's a dwarf chenille plant.
I wasn't sure if I was looking at a Cheeto plant or fuzzy peppers.

Get a mascot and send a pic
@@penetratorblockeddrains The mascot hunt begins 🔭
Why didn’t you locate where your camera stopped and go to the area and take the cap off?
Thank you insp
Meant thank you chief inspector Gavin!!
Thank you 😊
Gavin - dare you to put "Penetrator Cap - aka Haircut Hider" as the name for the cap on the merch site :D
What’s the Penetrator’s favorite kind of waste?
Booked solids.
😂
Gavin my friend who was watching this with me try to turn the wipers on while you were driving to the job
Haha 😂

🐸 Watching this one reminded me of what I take for a blocked drain:
Coloxyl with Senna ! ! ! 😬💊💩➡️✔️🙂
Option 'C'.
Oh my
Shame they didn't show you the plan first as that would of saved you all that work you done Mr P . Also you would be there for about half hour and i hope they give you the job for them .
Don't understand the end cap was glued why
What in the red furry peppers are those red furry things growing in that person's garden?🤔😄
Thanks a lot. I threw my phone bc I thought that damn 🕷🕷🕷 was on me. 😩
This Lonnie guy in the comments seems like a real fan huh?
Haha he doesn’t bother me. Keeps me entertained at times haha
Poor Mr Gavin Doran. He looked lost and naked as a magpie without his cricket hat.
Haha. Ahoy hoy from A-Local Tree Services.
Hahah Yo Dan!!
Hope you boys had a great day yesterday.
Thinking of doing that video with you in it over the next week. Keep an eye out for it 😂

He said early on that it stopped at the bucket, which is in the area he was listening to
The jetter is going to the right and he’s listening to the left?
@@buttcrack7784 Watch the first few minutes, he says the pit ends in that area

Looks like you got your hair fixed . Better.
Nah just grew back
Will continue vid here.......but @ 5:50 ....how could you expect the "HEAR" the jetter head THERE.....when the hose in the hole is heading the opposite direction?
Because that is apparently where it ends, under the bucket
Correct you watched from the beginning lol

Sounds like you want me to get a smaller version of a vac truck lol..
Don’t you have that locator thing that drain addict guy has where he would get his camera to that spot and then locate it with the thing that goes with the camera??
Course I do.. if you watched in the beginning I mention where I located the camera under the black bucket
@@penetratorblockeddrains I must have missed it
Queenslander!!!!
Oi Oi Oi..
Footy on tonight
But there is a pipe on the left side …..so he’s listening for the water not the jet ?
👍
Even the plans show the drain to the left, why run the jetter to the right. Something isn't right with this one Penetrator.
I pinned the response to explain
late upload
TV show (THE LOVE BOATS) LIKE M. A.S.H. some time 1972 to 1982 on now on Christmas 72
👍🏽❤️
@ 11:20 .....YEAH, you WISH buddy !!! LOL
you may need to get a flex to do this kind of work
How does a flex clear a pipe that goes nowhere with a glued cap on it?
@@penetratorblockeddrains the pipe will drain then lol;l just a joke mate get it
Are you not jetting away from where you expected to hear it?
That’s what I was thinking. I also don’t know why he doesn’t just use the camera detector to locate where the endcap was rather than guessing.
That's what it looked like to me also.

I pinned a response
you was going one direction and listning for it the other direction
I agree, didn't make any sense to me.
Early on he said it ended at the bucket....
YOU are going left when hose going to the right
Why didn't u use ur camera and quackery to trace the pipe
I did :)
Nothing in this video makes sense 🤷🏻♂️
That was a ridiculous option I don't understand why you would tell them to do that, sounds to me like you're passing the buck and taking the money and running!!!
