Legend has it he is still pulling out the wipes to this day.....

He's like a magician pulling endless rabbits out of his hat
Lmao
TO THIS DAY!!!!! 🧔🏿🥊
The gift that keeps on giving 🥴
Class action against the companies that claim flushable and septic safe wipes
Problem is the companies that produce those wipes aren't lying about them being flushable because they will go down when you flush the toilet. Now if they said they break down when flushed that would be a lie. If only you knew the number of people who tried to sue and lost.
@@jeffreymurdock8366
What about the part of Joe's comment that say "septic safe wipes" these are 🚫 not septic safe...
@@Yo-Da-Action never seen any that say septic safe. All I ever see here is the words flushable. If it does say septic safe then yes there is ground to sue. As far as saying flushable then no there is no grounds. That's why we have put it in the lease for my apartments that if there is a blocked drain and wipes are found the tenants are responsible for the plumbing expenses
I think class action isnt whats needed here. COMMON SENSE is whats needed. Wipes arnt meant to be the only thing used. One or 2 once in a while will be fine not every time you shit or piss. At the end of the day they are still wipes that haven’t broke down. USE YOUR TRASH CAN. Especially if those are old pipes. Which im willing to bet are. COMMON SENCE.
@@jeffreymurdock8366 concret is flushable too, innit?
OMG it amazes me that anyone is still putting these things down the toilet or wherever. Stunning. They should be apologising to you for this one!
That is absolutley ridiculous the amount of wipes! I've never seen that many pulled from a claw before haha!!! 😂😂 nice work joe mate 👊👊
。
Of all the drain unblocking videos I've seen, this is the most from one job ever. Holy moly!!!
look up Drain Pros, they have a video at a hospital that an insane amount of wipes
@@joshuaguenin9507 yes you're right. That was the largest amount of wipes. This was the largest at a single residence.
@@joshuaguenin9507 isn't that the one where it took them well into the night to clean out?
Totally Unbelievable! If you did not records this, no one would never believe you! Hopefully the customer gets to see what was blocking their drain! Wondering (1) how many boxes are still in the house to be used, and (2) when you will be coming back to remove those! WOW! Great work!
"Liverpool lady strangled with jetter hose by drain unblocker gone berserk"
@@AquaPeet "Liverpool woman found dead in her house yesterday, being strangled with 40 pounds of used wet wipes."
I would leave the wipes laying there for the person who threw them in there to clean up! She would never do it again!
It sounds like she has an elderly lady who uses a commode, which might mean they have carers in . We had the same problem with my parents house . They used wipes with mum when she was being cared for and they just emptied everything down the loo instead of bagging the wipes in the provided clinical waste bags which are collected separately by the council .
I would as well
@@Helen-sound The council pays for the carer, they are remiss in paying for them if they are not qualified and doing a proper job. OH well. that money is just a part of other people's money they are running out of, so you can expect another hefty tax hike again.
In my last house the downstairs bathroom wasn't working, the plumber came and couldn't work it out. I took up the outside drain cover and found four kilos of wipes all glued to each other mixed with you know what. It took me a day to get it all clean then I dried it and cemented a more fluid bend in the drain so future waste would flow more easily. I'm just a housewife not a plumber!
Omg, every time i would think oh that has to be it, another huge wad would come out. That is just amazing. Great job.
Surely this must be a record of wet wipes blocking a drain even for you
Nothing could be getting through all those wipes.
I love how every single customer that has wipes sitting on the top of the toilet tanks say we don't flush them then I pull out a couple of hundred of them or they say it must have been the last people who lived here. I tell them they are the only one who could have done it and they still continue to lie. I just tell them I'll see you tomorrow or in a couple of days before I leave.
My gosh!! 1/2 of those look like strips of flour sack towels, not flushable wipes. They're opaque, not even a little bit see thru like most normal flushable wipes.
You did an AMAZING job and had the patience of a saint clearing that. Thanks for sharing 👍
Words fail,patience wins but customer needs informing about the unseeded wipes down drains, outstanding effort very well done.
Above the drain there should be an inscription that reads "I never met a wipe that I liked" and dedicated to plumbers everywhere.
Hell, plumbers probably invented wipes, along with garbage disposals. Way to ensure good business....
I never knew how much I was missing drain unblocking videos from my life! My dad used to work for the council in London clearing drains in tower blocks of flats and it was horrific !!
Very entertaining and fun to watch. That was like a wipes apocolypse. Thanks for posting this.
When you asked her to flush the toilet at the end and then was watchingirpt.
I half expected to see some wet wipes come through.
Yeah and then the lady comes back out and says "I flushed the toilet for yeh and I threw a hand full of wipes down as well to make sure it works again!"
Marry Poppins hand bag has nothing on this drain 😂
LMAO !!!!
I think I saw the buddha's jaw drop to his knees! That is over a months worth of wipes! Great job mate watching from the US.
I want to give multiple thumbs up due to the hard work and the crazy amount of wipes pulled free. All I can say is God bless the homeowner and make sure to call them yearly to clean out their drains.
The makers of "disposable wipes" should be held liable for the costs associated with cleaning up the messes caused by their wipes.
yes exactly. in the united states, companies get sued for false advertisement. one wrong word, then bam, fines galore
That's like sueing the beer companies everytime a drunk crashes a car.
@@deliveryguy7402 Except that everyone and their child, including the beer company, knows that too much beer gets you drunk. Unlike the beer companies, the makers of disposable wipes are deliberately lying to you by telling you they are disposable and can be flushed.
Its the lazy idiots who flush them down the toilets who are causing the problems.
I agree!
You get the blue ribbon for the largest pile of wipes I've seen in the year I've been watching clogged drains!
You guys should start charging by the wipe - you guys would be millionaires..
Ok so now I have watched to the end of the video - You should find out who uses wet wipes in the property and promptly slap them around the face a couple of times using one of the wipes from the drain whilst stating "wet wipes do not go down the toilet" until they understand.
Wipes are job security, though. 🤷♂️ I doubt he cares very much why he's called out to get paid.
Exactly! That is that i would do. Slap them round the face until they understand.
Agreed...come eer bitch.
Seriously tht person should be slapped
Don't charge them anything and make THEM clean up the mess!
Please tell me you guys have a competition for the most amount of wipes pulled from a drain? 😂 I’d love to see joe count them all individually at the end!!! I’m sure he’d be this weeks winner 😂😂 Good work as always guys 👌🏼
Hello Joe, after almost a year I have watched this video again because it is one of the ones that has impacted me the most and I always remember it. You did an extraordinary job👍💪👏👏❣️🍀
This amount of wipes rivals the loads pulled out at the Thames Water plant I visited a few years back. Was incredible to see what people actually think is acceptable to flush. Even saw a bra hanging in the filter comb thing.
And this is why you should never flush an Egyptian mummy...
@Khalil Kamdyn Scam scam
🤣🤣🤣
Tut, tut...
I think there is more than one mummy down there. hahahaha Funny shit!!
@@mariebelladonna437 I nearly choked on my coffee at this comment. Gold star, Marie. Gold star.
That's something else besides wet wipes! Some of those are as big as hand towels and washcloths!
I agree
More than wipes. Looks like cloth. May be diapers also.
@@gingerrussell6297 Good on them for using 100% green, organic, biodegradable, flush-able cotton diapers.
I think you reached into the sewer and pulled up the neighbor’s wipes as well. 😂
I watch you from Holland, fantastic how you work. Especially without the talk about the morning after after having curry ore something.
Just telling enough to understand why I keep the pipes in my house clean!!
Them wipes would have gone in the customers wheelie bin to stink out the place till their next collection to remind them where to put them instead of flushing them down the bog
Ummm.... I'd have left them in the pile.
You definitely won the "Most wet-wipes retrieved" award this week. :D That's insane!
Well done, patience and hard work, good to see someone good at their job.
WOW! If Jem is the Root Destroyer, Joe is the Wipes Destroyer!
That was a gift that kept on giving... 😳
Joe's patience is awesome 👌
I thought the wipes would never end! 🤯 well done Joe!!
Do not flush anything but body waste and toilet paper that's it NO WET WIPES. Hope this a learning moment to all 🚨🚨🚨
In Australia the White King company that advertised its wet wipes as 'flushable' was taken to court and fined A$700K by the Competition and Consumer Commission for damage caused to the sewage system. Meanwhile in the UK......................
y es por eso que en latinoamerica usamos el bidet , artefacto de ceramica que se coloca al lado del inodoro y con agua caliente o tivia, nos limpia bien el trasero.. y no se usa ninguna cosa mas que papel para secar...
Difficult to stay friendly and calm with the customer .. But that's how it is and I think the lady will not change her behavior either ..
Refer her to a 'beloved' competitor...
@Friedrich Dusold Neuerdings och in Parkistan
More wipes than Downton Abbey's family silver!! By his voice it's possible to hear how hard Joe had to graft on this 1, fair play mate, top job!!
Well done that man
Much respect for the work you do, wow tough work! Great job!!!
This is the gift that keeps on giving!!! That would certainly put you off eating for awhile.
Wet wipes, the gift that keeps on giving. If you didn't have that on a recording, nobody would believe you.
Wow!! What a mountain of wipes!! Great job👍👍 love the videos All the way fron Connecticut USA
Damn! That client keeping up the wipes industry. Must also have stock in one. Absolutely unbelievable! You will be back.
Holy shit...I mean just wow...I have never seen a drain so badly blocked by THAT MANY wipes.
It looks like someone shredded a factories worth of t shirts, then flushed them.
That's a megalodon mate, no ordinary shark
Thank god you are back today 😜 Missed you yesterday with no video 😭 Keep up the great work 👍
😮😮 I think this is a world record!!! This drain reminds me of that one annoying relative who just won't leave you alone. Either that or the gift that keeps on giving.
This is definitely one for your record books. Good job guy!
It's a pity the one who dumps those wipes down the toilet wasn't there, so you could show her all the trouble she's caused using them damned things. Obviously, lessons need to be learned.
Why the sexism? It could be a him, or them.
except if he/she comes back and see the mountain of wipes cover with poop on a top of brown smelly water.
Yes, I definitely agree that a photo/ video to be sent to the owner so that the culprit/culprits will be informed of the actions he/she had made. Disgusting!!!
jeez relax , ppl like u , give me anxiety
Wow..! that's a lot of wipes. Fantastic job as always. That's the hole that keeps on giving..! 😱💯%👍😁
thing is even if the customer is lucky that their drains dont get badly blocked by the wipes, the mains do ! Maybe United Utilities should start asking all drainage companies to report customer drains blocked by wipes so that they can send them an increased water bill to pay for the damage they're doing
It’s incredible how they kept coming and coming and coming. Infinite amount of wipes. I trust the householder was shown them and advised to stop doing it
Hopefully they were also charged triple the amount
I worked as a drainage engineer
The most I got out of 1 line was half a tonne of wipes that came from a care home I got the manager out and was told they didn’t flush them !!! This was the only place they could of come from as there was the start of the run (which means the pipe started at this point! In fact every blockages I have been to with wipes as the cause no body ever uses them funny that !! Must be the wipe fairy!!!!
That drain is the gift that keeps on giving.
This video will WIPE you our. Great job Joe. You deserve a beer after this. That was a lot of work.
Oh my gosh... What an amount of wet wipes. I think the homeowner doesn't use toilet paper, only wipes.
You should get an extra check from the wipes company. 😂
WoW, that was unreal, that was some amount of wipes, job well done, as usual.
Great video you guys deserve every penny you earn, a lot of comments about use of wipes ,but they sure keep you guys in business!
Oh! My! Word! Well done Joe
WOW!!!! Biggest wipe clog I have EVER witnessed!! Awesome job!!
OMG never seen anything like it. And Joe so patient
I invested in a little shower type hose that runs off the water supply to toilet! Cheaper,cleaner and none damaging to the sewer system!!!
I worked in the Central Plant at a hospital. The hospital eventually banned wipes due to the plumbing problems they caused for the Maintenance crew.
Holy wet wipes Batman!! That is completely mental!!
Interesting that both you and "Drain unblocking" had huge wet wipes blockages to contend with this week.👍🏻
I clicked the "CC [closed caption] at the end b/c I couldn't hear most of what was said. What was funny is that when
the toilet flushed the CC said *"applause"* due to the sound it made which was just the right word I think. 👏 🙂
Now I've just come across this video it's absolutely shocking the pile of wet wipes hmmm id leave them beside the drain not to be a sod but just a reminder DONT FLUSH WIPES . Nice one and wow good job well done Joe
THE HORROR! MAKE IT STOP, PLEASE MAKE IT STOP!
wow. what a mess. Nice video again guys !
Wow, well done. I hope you showed the homeowner what they have done...
BLOODY ELL…that’s ridiculous, good job Joe.
Good afternoon from Chicago and TGIF!. Thats serious money worth of wipes.
That must have been close to a world record.
to get discouraged, there is no end!!! I commend Joe's patience without question, he deserves an O B E!!
By the way, I wonder who maintains the sewers and toilets at the Queen??? anyone any idea?
You should have been given an award for the most wipes pulled out of a drain
"There couldn't possibly be more wipes there."
Pulls out more and more wipes.
By the 10min mark I was waiting for you to call up for a skip bin😲
Good job done
how long have they been throwing wipes down the drain? I still cannot believe there are people that throw them down the sewer even though they are not supposed to do so 🤔
The problem is the packaging says they're "flushable" so people flush them without giving it a second thought.
😠 - particularly with “andrex washlets/kandoo” and those who are squeamish - the wipe has excrement smeared on it = must be flushed down the toilet - ❌ = that is what the sanitary waste, bathroom/toilet bin is for
Just stupid lazy people. Put them in a bin. I know the bin is like 7seconds away, but look at the problems you're creating.
I honestly thought the flushable ones broke up since that's what they advertise. I never knew even "flushable" ones do this to systems until I started watching drain unclogging videos. I now just throw them in the trash. Companies should be held accountable for things like this due to false advertising.
@@GamerNerdess
However they are flushable so that not false. Saying that they breakdown in septics and septic lines is a little iffy.
Hear In western USA we have devices in our business toilets that stops wipes from being flushed. Looks like a blade in the bottom of the bowl.
I have seen perhaps more than a thousand of drain videos, but this is a record. You risked to run out of fuel this time. Very effective that accessory of the shaft
I hope Joe got a perseverance medal to wear and show off when he is a long-bearded old man telling stories of the horrors he had to face in his youth. Ya gotta keep going because if you stop to think about what you are doing on days like this, you'd never come back to work again.
Bloody hell, that looks like more wipes than I went through when my boys were babies. It just keeps going, never ending wipes!!!!
I’ll admit, we do buy those so called ‘flushable’ wipes, but we adults don’t flush them in our home for this exact reason. I have a bin next to the loo, sure the kids have accidentally flushed a few but the older they get the more responsible they are becoming. Oh and it also helps to tell them it comes out of their savings if we need our plumber to unblock the system because of wipes.
Oh my gosh how long did you work on this⁉️I give you 100 gold stars really more for your great job done‼️🇺🇸🍍🌴🌺🤙🏽
Video eccezionale! Complimenti
Well done that was a big job. And can I say hi to you all and all the best in everthing you do. From Mandy who lives in waterlooville hampshire UK.
Holy socks, Batman! That was wild! Good job!
Surely the Buddha on the little wall should have said something 🙂.
More wet wipes, more drain unblocking, definitely a local record.
Great vlog thanks for sharing.
Muy buen video saludos abrazo grande desde Argentina 😊👍
"I don't know if I have space in the van for them" Mate, I don't know if we have space on our planet for them!
This is beyond ridiculous! After watching this video I need a lie down.
Well done, Jetter 3.
Unbelievable amount of wipes.. sludge pumps couldn’t cope with that. #dontputwipesdownthebog
I would have loved to have seen the clean up too lol like how much does he estimate all those wipes weighed? Such an epic video
by 16 minutes, i was thinking yall were transitioning from plumbers to a wall builder lol
I would love to see the owners reaction when he sees the pile of wipes..😂😂
Wipes will be keeping drain technicians in work for decades.
Wow I have never seen so many wipes in my life 😳
I hope you got employee of the week for this one Joe 🏆
Good Friday evening everyone from wellington Somerset
Burnham-on-Sea Somerset 🙌
"Will you flush the toilet for me" ....sees a brand new freshly flushed wipe going past!!! 🤣🤣
Hahaha.
Like a gift that keeps on giving...😲
