I can't imagine the frustration by times, trying to deal with such massive solid blockages like that! I can just see you now, dragging the homeowners out by the ear and pointing the mess out to them, yelling "LOOK WHAT YOU'VE DONE!!! THIS IS BECAUSE OF YOU USING AND FLUSHING WIPES!"

@@johnkelly1083 very true... But even so, being on the job for over two hours trying to unclog a huge clot of wipes and sewage would grate on anyone's nerves. 🙂
As a landlord I would like wetwipes being criminalized as felonies. It appears though that it could have been a plumber who invented these wipes as "flushable" to turn his guild into a buncha millionaires 😁
@@johnkelly1083 It's really the fault of the mfr's who lie with their advertising. But there are some pretty significant steps being taken towards banning them and it can't happen soon enough.
Just for laughs, I'd like to take a shovel full of those wipes, plop it on the homeowner's kitchen table, and proudly proclaim, "I think I found the problem!"
I don't know your laws pertaining sewage waste, but could you have scooped all of that into a bucket or bag & dumped it into the main line & then cleared the remaining blockage? Always enjoy your videos, especially when Andy & Justin are working together. From beautiful Senoia, Georgia, US of A!
Hello Dan hope you’re having a great weekend. I believe on one of their videos they said they couldn’t do that because just like bodily fluids like blood has to be disposed properly it practically the same thing. I could be wrong because it was a year or 2 ago when they said it. I hope they see your comment and answer it because I was actually thinking the same thing and would like to know too.
I did wonder but think it's probably illegal. Love the though of you sitting in the lovely sun watching us Brits fighting our tiny drains . Stay safe Best wishes
I believe they did it once. Or maybe it was at Drains Cleaning with Tony (also from UK). I think there is not a problem with taking the sewage out of there, as long as it finally ends up where it belongs.
It’s clever phrasing really on the part of the wipe manufacturers. They’re indeed “flushable” in that they can technically be flushed into the pipe. Certainly doesn’t mean they won’t cause issues or that they’re “non-clogging” wipes. There’s a big difference and I have to imagine they used the term “flushable” versus “won’t block drains” for a reason.
Even if it says "flushable" you have to be pretty dim to think they won't block the drainage system. I despair with some people and I'm sure these guys do too
This was mesmerising. I had to get some crunchy nut flakes to eat as I was watching it! Loved the parsley and 'Justin's got the trots'! Do people really not understand the message about not flushing wipes?
You've got to love Justin! Hes not afraid to get right in there and get his hands dirty! You rock Justin!!🥰🥰🥰🥰 Andy, that was an awesome job. You and Justin work well together. You have lots of patience with thick, tough clogs.
Andy you should have been a baker, with all that mixing going on. Also that is the first time in my life (older guy) that I have ever seen someone garnish a turd👍👏. And great spade technique too. Love the editing with the pop-up gifs. Very 🤣
Video should also be sent on to companies making these almost non-destructible wipes in the UK. At least in the US, they do start breaking down somewhat now. But they still are a nightmare for septic and sewer systems. But in the UK, the size of the sewage pipes is too small, even in new builds.
I agree with you on that, our wipes do break down and are getting more environmentally friendly, can’t use them to clean around the bathroom any more, but still do the job on the tush
All together now: “THERE’S NO SUCH THING AS FLUSHABLE WIPES”. (Or sanitary products for that matter) Such a difficult job and access was ridiculous. The added ‘herbs’ hilarious! Fortunately, these were the men for the job👍👌
NO BRAINS some people. They won't and don't listen and it's the poor sewermen who have to collect it everyday 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯 my mind is blown away by this one though. Well done to you 2 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Spontaneous question from someone that doesn't know what I'm talking bout: Wouldn't this stuff be easier to dig out rather than flush down the line? Or does that cause issues with disposal?
You guys are the pro's and I only watch. But I might have taken out three or four shovels full then worked on unblocking. then add that back. But what do I know I only watch.
Used to live in a property with six flats sharing a line out to the main sewer. Because one teenager used wipes I spent quite a lot of time using my rods to keep it clear. She insisted that she only used wipes that were ‘flushable’.
Well that was a tough blockage to say the least! I think that the customer needs to be given the gold🥇 award for creating the most compacted blockade of wipes and sanitary products ever and the second 🥈 award for creating the biggest ever batch of corma sauce. Keep up the great work 👍👍👍💩💩💩
Should also be sent on to companies making these almost non-destructible wipes in the UK. At least in the US, they do start breaking down somewhat now. But they still are a nightmare for septic systems.
Another thing if the job has an outside or inside tap close to the door. I would always hook up to the water. At the end of the day do you empty the tank or does it carry over to the next day. But I just watch I don't know.
From what i noticed is diets that used to be plant and meat based didnt clog the systems the way modern junk diets do. The color is lighter too than what used to be. Doesn't rot because of the preservatives. You can learn a lot about people on that end of things.
I've seen bad and stubborn unblocks that you made look easy on here but today this one thats taking the mick that is. Who's idea was to put a manhole in with the plants.
I can't believe how much time after 2hours and its still not going down I hope you told the house owners that this because of them using wipes and charge double good work.
@@paulf2529 yeah it would only move the slurry and liquids away from the solids but ive had some concrete in the past that looked to dry an sticky but as soon as you slap the poker on it , it turned to liquid and had decent flow but i suppose sand and stone would act diffrently to wet wipes, corn fat and god knows what else haha, would probably shatter the cheap plastic man holes nowadays and crack the old clay pipes and make a right job of it
Well done boys! That was a difficult one. Do you try and educate some of your customers what not to put down the toilet? 😱😱 Difficult not to be sarcastic I should imagine😀
There's no point educating people if they don't listen. I guarantee that in 6 months time these guys will be back at this property and that manhole will be full of wipes.
Another thought……when we were young we HAD no wipes or soft tissue .We had newspaper sheets for wiping our bums, how come our drains didn’t clog like this? Our Saturday job was to cut up the paper and thread it onto string!
Even though in USA and have new pipes Everytime I watch I have to check pipes and run the big French drain hose. Even though there is nothing there. Sometimes I get some grease from kitchen
How come you dont have the customers hose out there filling the sewer the whole time. It seems like the only problem with this sewer was lack of appropriate fluids. Just curious :)
Surprised you don't use a long rod, with a couple of side extensions, on a power drill to move\mix the mass. I use something like that to mix thick paint and mastic.
1:53 while you‘re doing that… everybody else would have: 1. jetted everything from the gully side; 2. after they‘ve heared the jet at the blockage used a HOSE (not a bucket!) to flush the blockage OR shuffed out the blockage into a bucket, disposed of it and flushed the rest…
Can't tell if ur kidding or ? Yes it's the wipes that say they r flushable they don't break up like toilet paper does they hold there shape till there ground up they also stick to pipes even tampons ur not supp to flush throw them & the wipes in the garbage buy a buiday toilet seat they heat the water the jet is adjustable u get so much cleaner & there cheap
17:40 I think Andy and Justin were just taking off Patrick Swayze and Demi Moore in their own version of the sexy pottery scene from Ghost... but with poo instead of clay! 😆

When it's that thick you need to empty the manhole a bit first before you start jetting And that would have made things easier to be honest

I'm a Crime Scene photographer so needless to say I've seen some pretty difficult things!! But I will never ever forget this video!!! EVER😮😮😢😢
I think drain unblocked across the nation should unite and charge double for wipe blockages !
How would you feel then if your kids flushed wipes, or a friend did it? You happy to pay double for other people's mistakes?
@@rickysmyth yes
They shouldnt be available to flush

it doesnt make sense to waste all that energy carrying lots of weight, you would rather work around it and once unblocked it'll go away anyway.
I did wonder but think it's probably illegal.
Love the though of you sitting in the lovely sun watching us Brits fighting our tiny drains .

@@ApasTalaz but then it ends up in sewer plants, plugging up their filters. There’s no way around these darn things.

My missus just don't get it me watching videos about unblocking drains. But i love it. Rock on lads.
I love how you decorated it with the green leaves
Wet wipes down the toilet has to be one of the biggest issues for drain blocking
絶望的な状況にくじけず、流れるまで諦めずにトライする姿に感動しました。
こういう仕事は必要ではありますが、やりたい人は少ないでしょうから、私は彼らを尊敬します。
I could not do what you all do!!! God bless you! You are lifesavers!
That was an extremely tough one. Understatement of the year. You both did an excellent job.👍👍
A very difficult unclogging today. Congratulations to all involved. I’m very impressed! See you all on the next! 😊😊

Flushing wipes is illegal under the Water Industry Act 1991
Even eco-friendly wet wipes should not be flushed down the toilet
That stuff looks almost like porridge at the beginning. The moment when the level drops, so good. That was a very stubborn one. Great video.

Lots of manholes and wipes make Britain a jetter's paradise!
Awesome job Andy & Justin 👍🏻
Kudos to Jetter2, for skill and most of all for perseverance!

Another job well done! Persistence wins again. Jetters 2 & 4 good work That was a drain that kept on giving.
At the end I kept saying "More Water"!! "don't put your hand down there!!"
Extra points for not having to bleep out bad language on that one 🤣.

Absolutely a legend Andy
Proof that eating your vegs really do make you regular. As soon as you dropped in some greens, the movements started 🤣🤣
Wow this drain was a bear to unblock. Good job guys.
We got a local engineering firm to make up risers to sit in the manhole rings it keeps the crap from spreading and also helps when jetvacing
Well done Justin and Andy. Not a sniffle in sight.
Dang they need a bidet!!! This is piss poor terrible! Great job to the best teammates Andy Jetter 2 and the Cleaner Justin!
They just need to put the wipes where they belong. *In the bin*.
battery drill with a long paint mixer
Its look so many food items and polyurethanefoam also.its so dmooth in the end that yuo can do new paper in it.hard job and welldone.

Spontaneous question from someone that doesn't know what I'm talking bout: Wouldn't this stuff be easier to dig out rather than flush down the line? Or does that cause issues with disposal?
They are opening themselves up to prosecution flushing them and honestly by being lazy
I thought that would never go but the lads never gave up 😊
Do you put the waste in bags for disposal or chase it into the sewer?
Your job is excellent good bless you🙏👍 your are a great people
That might just be the most disgusting clean out I have seen on UA-cam. More power to you guys.

wait for the " we don't use wipes" well there must be a a bloody ghost living here that does...😂...great video as always guys
I'm surprised people still use wipes, considering how most ppl know they can clog up drains..
You can use wipes just don’t put them in the toilet, put in the bin together with all other sanitary products👍
Those ones aren't even flushable...savages! Should be a surcharge for that
@@marctrossbach6560 There's no such thing as a flushable wipe.
Renters probably don't care. They don't pay for these guys to fix it!
The garnish at 12:52 was 😙👌
Why not take the wipes out until the blockage is fixed. Or bring them somewhere else?
I thought you might have to call the RAF and have them get the Dambusters back up and running...
617 sqn is still operating but they'd be coming in an F-35 these days 🤣
@@dh1380 yeah...but I mean the Lancasters...we have just about one of each WW2 plane here at the museum in town...no Lancasters obviously...
Looks like this one needed the fire hose😂😂😂good job young men🌺🍍🌴🤙🏽🇺🇸❤️
Anyone care to explain why the buckets of water are being thrown in there? Anything in that or just for the flow?
The water weight adds pressure and forces a blockage to move.
It thins it out. Not enough in their system.
Great unblock, think I’ve gone off lentil soup though 😊
Where does this drain even go or come from idk this seems a lil weird
It comes from the toilet/bath/shower/kitchen and goes into the main drain
I can't believe how much time after 2hours and its still not going down I hope you told the house owners that this because of them using wipes and charge double good work.
Teamwork for the win😊👍
There was movement at the station for the word has passed around the colt of Don’t Flush Wipes had got away.
You ever thought about using a concrete poker to disturb the stubborn blockages or would the vibration make the solids stick together even more
I think it would just settle the solids even worse, a fork works quite well as you can almost use it like a wisk but without splashing.
@@paulf2529 yeah it would only move the slurry and liquids away from the solids but ive had some concrete in the past that looked to dry an sticky but as soon as you slap the poker on it , it turned to liquid and had decent flow but i suppose sand and stone would act diffrently to wet wipes, corn fat and god knows what else haha, would probably shatter the cheap plastic man holes nowadays and crack the old clay pipes and make a right job of it

What do,you freakin think?
10:48 I use wipes but I throw them in the trash. Not down the drain. When will people realize this. I suppose it’s job security.
