Watching your videos I'm learning how many kind of situations may happen when a drain is blocked, I hope these informations one day will be useful to me in life.
@@hankbridges5055 that water jetting will clear a drain way better that the device your talking about as his set up litterally can cut through tree roots. and so what if it filthy? they make soap and water to wash up with you tell your auto mechanic his job is filthy cause he's elbow deep in grease from your car? smh
I am waiting for the time something grabs his white gloved arm and starts pulling him down. What a great start to the movie “The Plumber Down Under, Blocked Drain Killer” when the drains revolt!
@7:32 you have all 3 mighty "Avengers" in one frame. The Glove of Love, Bucket of Bravery and last but not least : THE SHOVEL OF sHENANIGANS ! But thats not all........ they guarded by the 3 Pylons of fearless defense.
After seeing that Drain Scope video, if I were the structure Owner, I'd look at what the Building Plans (Always on file with the city if I didn't have a copy of my own) to see what the Drains are Supposed to be connected to and if the Plans show they're NOT supposed to end in the ground under the slab, I'd arrange for someone to run a tree root cutter through the drain and see if that opens the drain up. If the Drain actually does just end in earth and it isn't supposed to, then I'd call a Lawyer and Sue the Builder and the Owner of the Builder's Company (assuming they're not the same person) for Breach of Contract, Negligence AND ALL the costs incurred with redoing the Drains so they connect with what the Building Plans say they're supposed to... I'd also Sue the City Building Inspector that OKed the Drain installation and Closed the associated Building Permits because his/her Incompetence just cost me major money!
Agree with Op. Suppose you want to sell the property some day. If it's not up to code then you would have to pay to get everything fixed up. In the US you also have environmental groups that think you are poisoning the planet with drains that just go into the earth to dump the waste.
I wish you would look at the camera and smile so we can see this gentleman whom we admire so very much. 😎 UT-OH.......It's the double barrel! Yippee! 😂
TIM from Canada here is a suggestion for you when you were cleaning out your areas you should always put plastic tarp down next to your area it is easier to clean it up for tarp and dump it back in to the sewer and it is to wash up cement and have it all over the place just a suggestion do not know if you have dollar stores where you are or you can go to your nearest building supply store and get a cheap tarp to put down a plastic curb should not cost you too much.
The little stormwater drain that couldn't. They'll be happy to have that 10 gallons of buffer capacity back. I can't tell if during Covid was a good opportunity for them to run that line somewhere. Happy Boxing Day 2020.
Well assuming that it doesn't carry any human waste in it, then this would be allowed. Since the idea behind a storm drain is to release the water back into nature this setup seems fine although they probably should've extended the pipe network to run off to a better area.
Thank you for informative and often very entertaining videos. Perhaps you could benefit from metre markers on your pressure hose and also from a flat nozzle for final clean up at end of job. Perhaps you patent the access plug you cut into the porcelain S bend.
A soak away drain is fine, but which numb nut built it under the foundation? At least run the pipe to the outside and put the soakaway somewhere that can be dug up when it eventually clogs with sediment.
@@alex-marquette It's really a bad idea to drain water under a foundation. You'll erode the soil and cause the foundation to eventually start failing from the soil shifting and loss. It won't happen overnight, but the effects can be seen in as short as a few years depending on the amount of water going under the foundation. It should have been connected to the sewer or a stormwater drain (also often connected to the sewer.)
Another drain problem caused by poor design. This drain probably gets a high load in storms, apparently has a soakaway under a premises and will inevitably suffer from sediment...
I'm not entirely sure you got all of this one. The pit seemed to go even deeper below the pipe you were clearing. There might have been another exit at the bottom that was completely buried.
@@hankbridges5055 says you and who are you to tell the man how to do his job? do you own his company? I doubt it! how about just sit back and stfu already.
When it comes to drains that are completely filled with stuff like that (be it soil, dirt, fat etc.) are there really no better ways of getting it out than a shovel and bucked? Like some kind of water pressure driven excavator or something.
Well you have a bunch of copy-cat drain cleaners trying to cut into your fame. Well they will ever be able to out do the jobs that you do. Great work😷👍👍👍👍👍👍
nomebear ... what he cleans out is too soupy for a post hole / clam digger. There is a "basin shovel" made that is more like a scoop or gravy ladle that works well here, although most have a LONG handle for doing storm drains in the street. That is how they cleaned them years before that had vacuum trucks
Ever completely deep clean the long glove or just rinse it off? I can’t imagine the staggering amounts of filth, disease and bacteria that is caked on your equipment and in your vehicle.
I think the bachteria and decease health association ask drain addict- what they can do to make this guy sick.. Those little bastards must be pissed of all the time..🕳🐸⚠️😂
you shuld get two wood boards in a slight angle - when you clean up after a job this could lead the whater into the drain instead of besides/above it makeing cleanup quicker and easier
What do you do with the dirt you collect in buckets, if you clean it for things like gold or diamonds, make videos of that, would be very fun to watch.
It's in a civilian parking structure with an average max. vehicle height of 6'6"-8'0", vacuum trucks tend to be 11'0"+ tall...you'd never get one to the drain to suck it out and there's a limit to how far you can extend the suction hose and still have it work...
The Camera Guy is ALWAYS working hard in these videos...HE'S RUNNING THE CAMERA!!! And Editing the video, uploading the video, wiping the lens off when Drain Addict splashes it, holding a flashlight so Drain Addict (and the rest of us) can see what he's doing, changing camera batteries when they run out, swapping Memory Cards when they fill up, etc... Need I go on?
been a pipe fitter/ plumber 46 years. where i live parking lot drains not a contaminate. those drains have a dirt catch in them should be cleaned out at least 3 times a year if not more depending were you live, to get the dirt before it caused those problems. this drain seem to have more than just a simple back up clog
Watching your videos I'm learning how many kind of situations may happen when a drain is blocked, I hope these informations one day will be useful to me in life.
Was useful to me last week. Lol
Nah ! But like , subscribe and thumbs up and you will know more shit then you never knew !!
Helped me with my wife last night. “All Good”.
You know this ones serious when he actually pulls out the elbow length glove!
Aaron Courtney shoulder length.agreed
But not to stay clean, just to not get stabbed by glass, metal, syringes.
He needs a electric drain-cleaner hooked up to a generator. It self- feeds into the line. His system sprays water up! THAT'S filthy!

Thanks Ollie for making these videos. I really enjoy them!
Oh cool another blocked drain video.
-sees the glove-
I better sit down for this one
lmao
I think the Double Barrel would be particularly effective on bent over politicians. Possible future project?
I agree quit wasting it on stuck drains and clean out a few a$$ holes!
This should have more likes!
Might make em stop talking a load of shite
There are pages specifically for that purpose.

Yes yes yesss I love these long ones! Keep em comin' mate, good job 👍🏼💩
Someone did a half-assed job at engineering that drain.

I'm watching this in 2022. First thing I thought when it started overflowing: "o no, Baby Rat is going to drown" 😂😂
Wouldn't it make sense to first remove all dirt/mud and/or anything that you can immediately see from the area then use the the pressure washer?
So the pipe doesn’t actually connect to the storm water or anything just the ground? Surely that is illegal when building apartments?
Well assuming that it doesn't carry any human waste in it, then this would be allowed. Since the idea behind a storm drain is to release the water back into nature this setup seems fine although they probably should've extended the pipe network to run off to a better area.

Why is it that every time I start to watch these videos I'm thinking, oh no... or oh my goodness, watch out for the spray..
That was weird. You did the best you could there mate! Cheers
The drain just ends under the slab?!
Yet another job by Dodgy Bros, Plumbers at Large.
@@James_Bowie Wayne and Arthur at it again?
@@gorillaau Yep, when the rugs trade gets slow, they do plumbing.
ok fools, where did the water go?
Nice video even it was 5 years ago.
I love the double barrel in action!
Ya call that a glove? THIS...is a glove.
@9:45 you can see how thick that mud is when he's shoveling dry mud...
dry mud.. did you mean dirt?😭😂😂😂
sieve the dirt then chuck your tomato plants in, you'll get a bumper crop.
Disgusted yet intrigued...definitely not jealous of their job
I'm amazed that there isn't a tree growing in all that rich dark shitty mud.
A soak away drain is fine, but which numb nut built it under the foundation?
At least run the pipe to the outside and put the soakaway somewhere that can be dug up when it eventually clogs with sediment.
Now that’s what I call high quality H2o
Was that a drain or a planter?
Is there any reason why you don't wear face shields? The stuff that comes out of some of the drains is rather nasty.....
I believe the man is fearless 😂
He’s got goggles protecting his neck.
Cause we are in Australia mate. Always work with one eye closed so you dont lose them both in the one go.
OSHA should investigate him!
@@hankbridges5055 osha is american wtf you think they gonna do to someone in australia? dumbass
I don’t know why but when I’m watching Ollie I need to spay my room down with Lysol!
First time I've seen the vacuum cleaner, so I knew it would be a desperate case, yup, a drain into nowhere! Cowboy builders...
So, what do you typically do for lunch 😁
You need 2 of those gloves 😄😄😄😄I see you had to break out the big guns 💪💪💪💪💪 that is nasty
BONDS........the underwear of true heros. Buy 5 and get a Drain Clean for free !
Putting on the gauntlet is a bad sign….😂❤
I guess the maintennance crew never got the memo to shovel out the sump catch basins once in a while.
Quality NSW construction standards at work again!
Why would you take a drain that big and feed it to a few feet of pipe under a thick slab...lol
disperse pooling water after a rain shower likely. Only probably is that when the soil has maximum water in it, there really is no where to go.
@@alex-marquette It's really a bad idea to drain water under a foundation. You'll erode the soil and cause the foundation to eventually start failing from the soil shifting and loss.
It won't happen overnight, but the effects can be seen in as short as a few years depending on the amount of water going under the foundation.
It should have been connected to the sewer or a stormwater drain (also often connected to the sewer.)
Can you say "sink-hole"!
This is addicting
Hey! This was done on my birthday!

I second that
I think the pipe he cleared was overflow
-Keep moving, - Nothing to smell here!
Could be a beaver?
Eu pego esse tipo de serviço aqui na minha região com muita frequência
I think to solve that problem you must use flexible drill or cutting with die grinder cause that root too hard to pull...
Nah that's shit construction. They put a pipe going into the ground. It doesn't go anywhere. One meter of pipe, dirt.
No, he needs to use an electric drain cleaner and electric generator, but he don't listen.
@@hankbridges5055 says you and who are you to tell the man how to do his job? do you own his company? I doubt it! how about just sit back and stfu already.
Just realized you have two different size cameras to look up the drains👍
When it comes to drains that are completely filled with stuff like that (be it soil, dirt, fat etc.) are there really no better ways of getting it out than a shovel and bucked? Like some kind of water pressure driven excavator or something.
There is, but it usually takes its own truck/lorry or trailer. Look up suction excavator.
Double Barrel in ACTION!!!
Well you have a bunch of copy-cat drain cleaners trying to cut into your fame. Well they will ever be able to out do the jobs that you do. Great work😷👍👍👍👍👍👍
I've been watching your videos and was wondering what size pressure washer are you using ?
Using a clam type post hole digger works well for cleaning out the silt in the bottom of these wells.
Don't tell him, cause he don't know shit!
You mean the ku-klux-clam ?
nomebear ... what he cleans out is too soupy for a post hole / clam digger. There is a "basin shovel" made that is more like a scoop or gravy ladle that works well here, although most have a LONG handle for doing storm drains in the street.

That has not had any attention in ages !!!!
I'm thinking Drain Addict branded boxers.
That glove laying behind him look like it saying, "Argggg he put me in there again!
You didn't get to the root of the problem on this one mate
Ok is it only me or should that shop initiate a program where every so often someone cleans out the dirt in their sewer catch basin.
Why? It's the property owner's responsibility to ensure the drainage does what it's supposed to.
Ever completely deep clean the long glove or just rinse it off? I can’t imagine the staggering amounts of filth, disease and bacteria that is caked on your equipment and in your vehicle.
I think the bachteria and decease health association ask drain addict- what they can do to make this guy sick..

The double BARREL Pog
Double barrel at 13:30
hehehe.. it keeps the job done
Am I correct in thinking that this businessman is in Australia 🇦🇺?

How deep is that sump? 10 feet?
Where are you guys from I'm guessing Australia
James moses yup
Do you strictly do drainage blockages or do you also do general plumbing maintainence?
He does things the wrong way! 😂
Yep, you have to leave these jobs to the pros!
YAY DOUBLE BARREL TIME!!!
The drain to nowhere!
What do you do with the dirt you collect in buckets, if you clean it for things like gold or diamonds, make videos of that, would be very fun to watch.
My friend, you could use a squeegee on your truck.
I wish I was able to run my metal detector over some of the stuff you pull out of these drains. You never know what you might find hidden in the mud

Soak pit for very low water volume
Years of dirt brought in my cars and rain runoff. Wow.
OH YEAH. DOUBLEEEEE BARRELLLLLLLL!!! you know the shit is it getting serious when he pulls out the big gun!! but the DB was no match for that monster.

The double barrel
Wouldn't vacuumed be better to remove the majority of material blocking?
It's in a civilian parking structure with an average max. vehicle height of 6'6"-8'0", vacuum trucks tend to be 11'0"+ tall...you'd never get one to the drain to suck it out and there's a limit to how far you can extend the suction hose and still have it work...
That's why the make vac trailers
Armpit length gloves!!
Who else throws their head back when the spray starts to fly??? Hahahaha!
His system is filthy. He causes water to spray up. An electric drain cleaner self- feeds and it goes DOWN, NOT UP!
Ok just noticed half way through the video it is a parking structure...but still
Colonoscopy....😂😂🤣
What did that drain go into?
Congress
@@joshuaguenin9507 Not likely, the drain led to something that actually does something sometimes...
It just drained under the concrete it was a bad design
The double barrel comes out, it's time to get serious.
This one is too serious, they may need to make a hole in the park lot to get to the drain to clean the roots and trash out of the drain.
