Blocked drain 64 - Crusty Drain Cleared but what did we find in the pipe
In this English country garden we came across a huge run of pitch fiber drain pipe. First greeted with a chamber full of muck, we tried to plunge without any luck so we got out the drain jetter.
The drain jetter made light work of the blockage but after putting the camera in we found drain roots and what was likely a dent or break in the pipe that we couldn't get past. we may possibly need to return to fix this
Thank you for watching and reading my story. I really appreciate your support and kind words and I hope you enjoy my videos.

Tricky fat infested gully at Blocked drain 62

For what was supposed to be a routine gully clearance this was far from it. this Blocked drain was far from satisfying with thick sticky fat and grease up to my elbows in it. Yes i have elbows deep gloves but once i was in it was too late and best to just get on with it. The temperature was 27 and humidity 85%. far from ideal conditions but we persevered and got through it. some footage was mis...

By far one of the largest gardens I have seen on the channel, absolutely stunning! If that was my garden I’d be seeing how far I could drive a golf ball and use it as a practice ground haha 😂 Another top notch video as always Jamie and Becky, looking forward to the next one! 🙌🏻
Hi, Love the garden...wow..You need a windscreen wiper on your camera for these messy ones...lol Great job with what you did...Stay Safe from a Tassie Supporter ❤️🙏👍🤗 Hope your cold hurries up and gets better...
Good show. That garden is a real treat for the eyes.
Great work while battling cold as well!😀
Great Garden and a long Way to the first Manhol, what is Block. The next and the three Manhol empty. Work with Presswater, long Time to the Block run down. Camera Picture : Roots. Great Fight, how all Roots cut. Good Work and Video.
I hope you feel better soon Jamie. Looks like a repair will be needed. Great job!
I almost threw up when I saw what you were going to work in. Good thing it went pretty fast. Can you Please do me a favor and clean the glass on your camera. Thanks
Consider it done
@@Elbows-Deep thanks, you are a trooper!
You need a longer handle on your real to make it easier to use
Good job guys. I think you will be digging
All i see is a filthy camera screen.
Yes its a bit mucky huh, I will get that sorted. Dont tend to notice it but in the video you get the muck, reflections and the mist in the drain its self because im using it to see what im doing and not just to inspect. I will clean it up.
@@Elbows-Deep Yeah, it made it hard to see what you're seeing. Great job you two are doing, and that includes your filming. Hey Becky
😍
L must say. You work in some beautiful locations
Beautiful garden. Lovely unblock😊
When the roots are coming through clay pipes, through a crack that the roots have made, because roots are very strong, aren't you afraid that you will open the crack up even more using a high power jet? I lay clay pipes and once they crack they can be very brittle.
No they dont tend to break from the water pressure, It could happen but not to me so far. Im sure these pipes were pitch fiber tho and out of shape. could do with replacing the lot really, they just flatten when near by trees displace them.
A lot of the time the roots come through the joints, these are a spigot that was cemented and over time movement causes the cement to crack and the pipes to eithier drop and displace or roots to enter. The modern clay pipes with supersleve joints are a farr better system although more of ten than not, most people use pvc.
Hope you feel better soon, thats not a garden , its a nature walk! Like wow.
😂😂 We could have kept going too, it was way more
Does that garden ever end? My old boss had a big garden, he build 20 houses on it for old people.......Now the garden you get with houses, if you hang your washing out,, that's your garden taken up.......Enough of that's back to the video.
😂😂 Isnt that the truth. its kind of sad tho how things have changed. My garden is 90 foot, Be licky to get 90 Inch these days
Fast becoming the best drain team on TH-cam, another entertaining video ✊💪
Cheers for the uplift Paddy, Always good to hear from you 👍👍
Oh hello Granddad LOL
Granddad? You on about the hat 😂😂
@@Elbows-Deep yh sorry i was only joking (sorry hehe)
ha ha that gusher was definitely the money shot of the vid,
I knew it was coming but not that bad 😂😂
Hey Jamie it's not only huntsman spiders as bit as you hand but snakes like to live in places like that........Don't want to disturb a snake!!🕷🕷🪱🪱🪱😱😱😱
Yes, yes we would! However right now, I’m picking up Gum tree Branches and bark (end of season shedding) pre fire season clearing and I’ve so far had 10 HUGE huntsman spiders on me, in my shirt, and my hair… not to mention the huge 20c piece (size of your thumbnail) big Black Widows, Red Backs and of course wolf spiders.
Oh no, Thats what keeps me from going there, Im petrified if the damn things.
@@Elbows-Deep seriously as long as you don’t go rummaging through fallen branches, bark, or shrubs even you are fine. Especially this time of year… while the snakes are still snoozing
Great job…🍺🍺🍺🍺
Cut that 4”” cast iron up a couple of feet
Rrrrrrrroooooootttttttssssssss!
Great job Jamie and Becky. I foresee some work needing to be done at that location soon. If not, this will be recurring.
she is having some work done on the property soon and will likely have it done then or just before.
Really enjoy watching your videos. You remind me so much of my uncle that we tragically lost in 2021. You to look so similar and personality is so similar. I do have English heritage so would be cool if we was related some how 😂😂.
Omg, What was his name ?
@@Elbows-Deep Robert Riness. We are in Georgia (USA) not sure if the riness side was from there or it was his mothers side.
You have always the Rainwater Drains and the Manhol behind great Plants. This Day great Roots from Ivy. The Drain full Earth and Roots. To first Work with the Hands, then with the Presswater. Clear this Drain and the Rainwater Groove on the House. Cut a Plant that You come to the next Rainwater Drain, with a Tank for the Water. This Rainwater Drain too Block You Unblock the out. Good Work from Your. 💪👌
Very good video. So nice to have an exceedingly pleasant customer. On the topic of gully maintenance Australia, I have to agree with Karl. Karl Pilkington on Australia [ th-cam.com/video/kbUd0iCFvjc/w-d-xo.html ] His list failed to include the Cane Toad and the Huntsman Spider. Cheers.
Hi Arty, So sorry, I dont know why youtube blocked this comment, Its was held for review for some odd reason. Just watched the video in the link, Thats so so funny 😂😂😂
Ahh,the lovely Becky makes another appearance! Great work from Lha in Tennessee,USA.
Would a garden tool with spikes help pull those roots out? if it was a small one of some sort?
I did have one but it got left on a job and we can’t remember where 😂 will definitely be getting another one
You are the British equivalent to oz drain addict only you don’t have a rat you have Becky 🙃
Becky you are a trooper and treasure ❤
So that gully effectively became a root-bound plant pot. I've had to sort out a root-bound Schefflera in a 1 foot diameter pot that had a root ball that unrolled to over 4 feet, it's amazing how dense roots can pack themselves.
Lovely hat 😁
Hi, My goodness, No wonder you named your channel Elbows Deep...lol Great job getting it cleared. My gosh are you's having a heat wave over there? We have had nothing but rain, wind more rain more wind. Winter has finished so dont know whats happening..lol Stay Safe from a Tasmanian Supporter ❤️🙏👍🤗
It was hotter last year regardless of what media may say but going into Autumn now so back to standard British weather for 11 and a half months 😂
Why hold the outlet pipe high up fence , why not leave at ground level to run into trees and bushes . . It would also make it easier for the mud pump
The outlet hose was too short so we were trying to arch in into the bush, the customer didnt want it running down the garden. if we had a lay flat hose at the time we would have run that into the ditch deep in the bush although i may not have because it would have been less fun to watch. 😂
Why didn’t you remove the sealant from the joint . TO ALLOW FREE RUNNING OF DRAIN.
I just had to watch that back to see what your talking about. im 90% sure that silicone was pulled off in the rinse from what i can remember of it but not being on camera there is no way anyone watching would know. im sure we would not have left it, you got me questioning myself now 😂. regardless it was not the cause nor would it be if it was left but im sure it was delt with. Thanks for noticing it tho Steve and pointing it out, its quite often i people notice small details and point them out and it only helps us improve so never a bad thing.
Great job Jamie!!...You English use far too much fat in your cooking and put it down the drain!🤢🤢🤮
You absolutely needed Becky on this one!👍 Not to turn it off&on, but to keep you sane!😁🤣
😂😂 she just said, you joking she wasn’t even sane 😂😂
Good job. You have to dirty sometimes….🍺🍺🍺🍺
Fat is an enigma wrapped in grease!🐷
Maybe you should call this channel "Up to My Neck" instead of Elbows Deep. Because you were definitely up to your neck covered in grease & fat. Your poor wife, I can only imagine that smell.
Too bad that chamber could not be opened. I would imagine an 'Oscillating Multi-Tool' and/or WD40 around the edges might loosen that cover. I can also imagine the lift points on that cover are made of some under-provisioned ephemeral plastic. Situations like that are an absolute bugbear. Hope you and your lovely assistance are doing well.
I have had to smash them out in the past and replace them. Absolutely nightmares. Megan has started her electrician course, so proud 😊 becky recovered quick from the heat 😜 she will be with me a lot more now.
Good job Jamie! I would not want to have to clean up those clothes…. Not sure what detergent would cut that grease. 😂
50 gallon oil drum, old engine oil, matches, stand well back!
That was definitely not the most straightforward. Was the drain cover cemented in?
Just would not budge, corroded shut, a lot of them recessed ones do.
@@Elbows-Deep - which is pretty crap because it doesn't look that old
Hi guys, from brazil send you my cumpliments
What a mess! Good job getting it clear.
😮😮😮
This Unblock a hard Work! How Quantity Fat? This Housewife must the Fat kilo wise in the Drain give !! Alike You have the Drain Unblock!! Good Work. 💪👍
Wow how much fat they putting down that drain, dear me.
Apparently 20 years since it was done
