To everyone reading this, I hope you're having an amazing morning/afternoon/evening/night 😊❤. Glad to be around others that love these videos as much as me
Good morning, from Sydney Australia, about 1hr (Eastern Australian Time) south of lovely Brisbane, Gary and the lovely Mrs. P! 6:10Am Monday morning, 28th March. G'day Gavin! G'day Toad! G'day TCO! G'DAY Mad Ball! Gav, those Paperbacks, Melaleuca's make really soapy water, correct? Ollie has had his fair amount of problems with them in the past, it looks like he has poured dishwashing liquid into the pipes!
The Team: as in the Mad Ball... he's like a friend who always has a pint in his hand and cracks some kind of laugh, even if it's directed toward himself...Thank you and hope all is well!!!
Not only does your channel show your expertise, it shows how great you are with customers AND with the missus popping in every so often, it shows you as a person. Fantastic when potential clients have questions and you can direct them here.
I have had clients seem to think I ask to many questions at times, and this video is the perfect example of why a lot of questions are important. What a client may seem is nothing, to those clearing the line it could mean everything. I honestly got a chuckle about your doubt at the end of the video, but knew where you were coming from initially. If ever there was a stormwater I felt may whip you, based on that tree and problem area it would have been this one. That HAS to be one happy homeowner given how things really "should" have been. You saved their tails on that one. Super job.
Summary of the world’s penetrators: Ozzies: Plastic helpers, loads of nozzles, nearly always roots, balls of steel to rummage around in the undergrowth. Search through other people’s waste to find corn. Koreans: 20 people on the job working 12 hours for one blockage with full analysis of the plumbing and every spec of dirt removed with plenty of sound effects UK (Scouse): Budget clearing a pipe with a rationed 2 meters of hose and 5 liters of water, if you want to know why the blockage happened you need to pay extra US: $49 clearance job with a snake, find the boundary trap knock the lids off with a hammer and send it both ways.
You forgot a couple, lol- Germany, doesn't believe in gloves, deals with rusted bolts and scaled up cast iron, addicted to coffee, makes kids dreams come true bringing him to the shop and on the job, and puts out a 12 days of Christmas 🎄 special every year (kempinger) Canadian- hide out in public housing with working ladies and Costco's, attacks drains with a vengeance with various snakes, and recently hopped on the Post 10 bandwagon (jay that drain guy) American, female, daintily unclogs drains with various snakes, sometimes does drain cameras, and passes on quality useful hair care advice (drain medic)
Gavin, you showed the role of brains in your job. Simple deduction told you where the problem was likely to be and where it was not. Time not wasted looking in every single pipe is time saved for you and the customer. This is why your channel is becoming your big marketing tool. Well done to you and Mrs P
Those roots looked impossible at the start, it's so satisfying to watch. That tree was beautiful but those visible roots - wow !! I missed the live - was in the garden, we actually had another sunny day !! Best regards.
Good morning Gavin! (6:40am Monday Mar 28) I was kicking myself for missing the livestream with "Mrs. P". She is very nice and knowledgeable about gardening! In no time you will be happily blasting out roots from your own garden bed! Mrs. P is a good merch designer, perhaps she could do a T-shirt with the Toad, TCO & Mad ball on the back, with "UA-cam Penetrator" on the front, or the other way around? I have a Drain Addict tshirt, with Ratty, Croc & Magpie on it, before Croc ATE the Magpie! Nice lancegun work Gavin, 👌 I see why your phone is always going off! 👍
GAVIN,Hello, those heavy roots look like they were from that EUPALIPTUS TREE ? , The others were like palm roots, oh well the PENETRATOR PREVAILED !🇦🇺🇦🇺🇺🇸🇺🇸
I thought the pipe would have been broken all to pieces by looking at the size of that tree and it's roots along the top of the ground! Great work getting those roots out! ❤️
Another great job. Keep chewing 'em up and spitting 'em out! LOL! Love what you do Mate and enjoy seeing you and the Mrs. working around your home too. Keep on keeping on!
Gavin, I really enjoy the channel and the work you do. It's always great to see how you always treat the customers so well and always do the best job you can for them!
👍👍👍👍hey your wife and you did a good job with that yard over the weekend. Does she have a channel? Its always fun to see what the spouse or partner does or deals with. But its only fun for people on the outside im sure it causes more marriages or relationships to end rather than helping lol. 🤔🤔🤔ya know if y'all are happy with your marriage maybe she could just throw a random video up on your channel or some pics in the community lol. Never mess with a good thing.
That drain pipe was a tree root super highway. There is a tree straight ahead and no doubt about it being the culprit entering that break. Excellent clearing results Gavin.
Did you say Keen as mustard? I’ve heard of Keen’s mustard but I’ve never heard that expression before. That’s awesome. Makes me think of my dad who always had expressions like that. Along with the video you gave me giggles today. Thanks. Mary from Canada 🍁. That weird ball is a Teenage mutant ninja turtle head. I think.
Ok, comment #3 🤣🤷♂️. Hey it's good for the algorithm anyways lol. So, is the root ranger setup with a higher flow orifice or "jet" than the enz angled roto drill? Or is the root ranger just a stronger nozzle all together? I understand the smaller profile thing, makes sense. But I'm just curious what you meant by the root ranger having "more pressure"?
I notice in alot of your videos u leave leaves and grass clumps that are in the street in front of the drain. Y not clean the edges and in front of the drain first before jetting.?
Now you're getting fancy in the editing. Or is the editor Mrs. Penetrator? I wonder why you don't collect all that rich rootbark and bring it home to the missus for her posies?
Wish you were in my state my country. Here in Yakima Washington they want to charge you $160 to use the snake. And anywhere from $300 to $500 just to scope the train. Complete rip off when I can buy the tools myself for the same price. 🤦

Pretty good summary lol
You forgot a couple, lol-
Germany, doesn't believe in gloves, deals with rusted bolts and scaled up cast iron, addicted to coffee, makes kids dreams come true bringing him to the shop and on the job, and puts out a 12 days of Christmas 🎄 special every year (kempinger)
Canadian- hide out in public housing with working ladies and Costco's, attacks drains with a vengeance with various snakes, and recently hopped on the Post 10 bandwagon (jay that drain guy)

Never doubt yourself Gavin. You have mad skills and can conquer anything. Well done and satisfying to watch.
Thank you 😊
4:55 those paperbarks and palms are your job security! Lmao. 😉
Yes sir!
🐸 Was not confident with this one, but with you and the full team - Toad, TCO, WLB (weird looking ball) - you SMASHED those roots. Well done!
Thank you 😊👍
I’m loving the music at the beginning. You find yourself singing along with it.
Gavin, you showed the role of brains in your job. Simple deduction told you where the problem was likely to be and where it was not. Time not wasted looking in every single pipe is time saved for you and the customer.
This is why your channel is becoming your big marketing tool. Well done to you and Mrs P
Thank you 😊
When I was a kid, we had them balls here in the states. They're called Madballs. I haven't seen one since the 80's
Your job is like being a Detective! Love how you work it all out!
Those roots looked impossible at the start, it's so satisfying to watch. That tree was beautiful but those visible roots - wow !! I missed the live - was in the garden, we actually had another sunny day !! Best regards.
Hope you had a wonderful day in the garden 🪴
Always fascinating to watch an expert at work, love your videos mate ❤️👏
Thank you 😊👍
it's good toseethe team sticking together....go TCO
I really think sewers are different in Australia than here in the US. I have never seen anyone blast the hell out of drain pipes . Lol Good job.
Hey, Gavin... You and the team, got it clean! 👍🏼
Another great unclogging! Your the best, Gavin! Cheers mate! 🇦🇺🙂👍🇺🇸
Thank you 😊👍
Great patience. 👍👍👍👍
Clearing drains is a great skill to have but what about the other one? The ability to reverse a trailer up a driveway is pretty damn good too!
Great that you noticed 👍

Nice lancegun work Gavin, 👌 I see why your phone is always going off! 👍
I will have a chat to her about that design.
Also thank you for watching and enjoying.
It was good watching them roots come out. Great job!
Thank you 😊👍
These pipes need to be above ground down the boundary lines. Would save a lot of trouble and water. Enjoying the videos you solve so many problems
Respect for Labor
Wow that was good!! It was nice to see you use the Turbo Nozzle. I've often wondered why you don't use it. Keep up the great work and content!
Thank you 😊
A very good Sunday evening to you sir and your family
Morning
Root SLAYER 😈🌴🌵🌳🌲
GAVIN,Hello, those heavy roots look like they were from that EUPALIPTUS TREE ? , The others were like palm roots, oh well the PENETRATOR PREVAILED !🇦🇺🇦🇺🇺🇸🇺🇸
YAY! We knew YOU could handle it!
Thank you 😊 for the support
Awesome Gavin “THE TREE ROOT MASTER”! Great investigation video!
Thanks for sharing your talents!
😊🧤👍🔦🐸🏀
Your welcome and thank you 😊
Top notch señor great Sunday viewing
Glad you enjoyed
I thought the pipe would have been broken all to pieces by looking at the size of that tree and it's roots along the top of the ground! Great work getting those roots out! ❤️
Thank you 😊👍
Great clean out..🐸
It’s rare I see you not working in the rain 😂
Toothless Tenny, TCO, that is quite the team, especially now that we all know Mrs. P. Dem some ROOTS!
Another great job. Keep chewing 'em up and spitting 'em out! LOL! Love what you do Mate and enjoy seeing you and the Mrs. working around your home too. Keep on keeping on!
Thank you 😊👍

She did a great job.
She is back out there today. I should ask her to take a final picture
That drain pipe was a tree root super highway. There is a tree straight ahead and no doubt about it being the culprit
entering that break. Excellent clearing results Gavin.
Thank you 😊👍
Great videos! I was wondering I never see you use a double barrel ? Thanks for having us along on your adventures. Bullet Bob from Texas USA!
I’ve used it a couple of times in some previous videos.
It depends on the pipe being cleaned as it’s a big nozzle.
Welcome Bullet Bob
Love watching your videos!! Keep up the great work!!
Thank you 😊
How that pipe was not completely crushed from that paperbark tree is beyond me. There's no room for that pipe.
Awesome work! 👍🏻
Thank you 😊👍
Pretty big roots in there. Congrats clearing that up! Questions: Why did you use the sleeve this time? Did you add the buckle or did it come that way?
Thank you 😊
Normally have the sleeve on.
Sometimes I get lazy and leave it off.
Thanks for the video Gavin.
Looks like there is no drain you can't clear. 👍 Cheers mate.
Thank you 😊
Sometimes the drain wins lol I just try my best
Did you say Keen as mustard? I’ve heard of Keen’s mustard but I’ve never heard that expression before. That’s awesome. Makes me think of my dad who always had expressions like that. Along with the video you gave me giggles today. Thanks. Mary from Canada 🍁. That weird ball is a Teenage mutant ninja turtle head. I think.
Yes I probably did say that lol
That's crazy how it the root just punched thru like that
that weird green ball looks like Slimer from Ghostbusters
👍👍👍&👍🇺🇸
I see you got to the root of the problem
👍👍👍
“Keen as mustard”? I didn’t know mustard was keen.
If you're gonna have a break in the pipe, that's a good place to have it.
I agree and easily repaired.
Just send the DC43 up there. It will clean all them roots out.
Where was the traffic controller ❤
When I suggested adding music for the drive, I didn't mean Dora the Explorer music. 🤣🤣
Great upper body workout too huh ?
Just been wondering - have you ever had a nozzle come off in the pipes? If so, did you manage to get it out?
Yes I have and yes I did get it back
Ok, comment #3 🤣🤷♂️. Hey it's good for the algorithm anyways lol. So, is the root ranger setup with a higher flow orifice or "jet" than the enz angled roto drill? Or is the root ranger just a stronger nozzle all together? I understand the smaller profile thing, makes sense. But I'm just curious what you meant by the root ranger having "more pressure"?
I just feel it’s stronger all round.
Both great nozzles and have there place in the kit.
I notice in alot of your videos u leave leaves and grass clumps that are in the street in front of the drain. Y not clean the edges and in front of the drain first before jetting.?
Your job would be a lot easier if they made a spinning single barrel root cutter😊
👍👍
Quick question what’s the tune at the beginning of videos
Just stubbles across it and liked it. Not sure of the name off the top of my head
@@penetratorblockeddrains ok such a good wee tune
The tune is called Trip to Roma by the swirling ship
What a happy intro song I love your videos
Thank you 😊
What is the name of that song ?
Now you're getting fancy in the editing. Or is the editor Mrs. Penetrator? I wonder why you don't collect all that rich rootbark and bring it home to the missus for her posies?
Your guess is on the money lol
I had a girlfriend as dirty as that water m8 god i miss her lol but your the root master good job
❤️👍🏽❤️
Call Ollie
What for haha
He’s a minimum 12hr drive haha
👋🌻👍🏻🙂🇺🇲
Wish you were in my state my country.
Here in Yakima Washington they want to charge you $160 to use the snake.
And anywhere from $300 to $500 just to scope the train.
Complete rip off when I can buy the tools myself for the same price. 🤦
I would sort it for ya!
👍👍🙂🇨🇦🐸⚾
👍👍👍🐸 🥎
Did he subscribe m8
Hope so lol
