Because it doesn't freeze there. A majority of the US is susceptible to below freezing temps. We also use a closed dwv system, instead of an open system like they do. I think the north American way is far superior. Doesn't turn into a septic system with months worth of a blockage.
@@TheNemosdaddy Ive always wondered why the plumbing was outside there. I didn’t think about the fact it didn’t freeze there like it does here. Pros and cons to both systems I think.
Would be cool if they made a rubber adapter that would cap the pipe, but still allow the jet hose through.. so when the rush of sewage come it’ll just go down the drain and not out.. or maybe something could be made to work using a regular cap
There's a channel of Korean plumbers on YT who do exactly that. It's something they came up with to avoid spraying things around and it looks very efficient. Nevertheless, The Drain Unblockers always leave places cleaner than they found them. They really are the bees' knees.
How do you even begin to clean something like this up? Fair play mate, must be really rewarding actually. You deserve a medal!! Very interesting I’m afraid to admit!
3 things immediately wrong with that pipework. Gradient of the pipe going from the en-suite into the stack is too steep, looks to be a 200mm fall over 3 metres which is causing the liquids to drain away quicker than the solids therefore causing a build up of shit and paper at the bottom of that en-suite toilet pipe junction. Around 20mm slope per metre run is required, so around 60-70mm fall would have done. Also the 90 degree waste bend from the en-suite toilet really needs a second bend under it with a more rounded radius sweeping into the horizontal pipe. 45 degree connections are preferred but if not possible, at least a large smooth curved 90 degree bend would have given that en-suite toilet waste a fighting chance to drain. Thirdly there are 4 waste pipe connections going into that toilet waste which is a bit extreme, as theres always going to be 4 chances of the en-suite toilet waste on its travels to the stack catching on one of the waste pipes that may have been pushed in too much causing snags and blockages.
Good vid, I would have liked to see the cleanup operation after that one. Bit annoyed at the homeowner though for not moving their car so you could park closer, unless there's a reason they couldn't move it. Little things like that go a long way I think.
I’m looking in disbelief every time: the parked cars, the bins in the narrow walkway, and anything else in the way of these men who are going to help you and literally clean up your mess…
You would make a fortune if you could invent something to contain all of the splatter. I have a new respect for your profession for sure. Crazy tough job. Good work.
I remember this job very well: perhaps the small icons at the title of this vid might have been two-fold..... first a small pile of poo, linked alongside a small icon of an aircraft. Put to the two together and one has 'flying poo' very apt I thought.... well done to the guys, this difficult job was brilliantly managed.
That street reminds me so much of the place I grew up in in Essex. I guess they are all the same no matter what the county. So different from here in Melbourne Australia👍🏻
I've only recently discovered your videos and they are strangely riveting viewing. But when you went up that ladder and first put the jetter in I had to physically move away from the screen in case I got splashed. THank goodness we dont have smell-o-vision yet.
If this wasn't so ungodly nasty and messy, it would be funny. Talk about a sh*t storm! There must be a special place in heaven for guys like you who do work like this! Thanks for the videos!
I have no experience in this, but am in awe of the professionalism you and your guys display. Question though, and I’m sorry if it’s obvious - you said that you were going to jet via the toilet - why did you change your mind? Wouldn’t it have made the clear up easier?
Must be one if the worst! It’s all sewage, it all stinks - but there’s a significant difference between a manhole under your feet, or this disaster above your head.
Hi, can you help me, we have an internal completely horizontal soil stack that runs nearly 6m from the toilet before it falls down the vertical stack (also internal) there is no fall on the soil pipe and in-fact the 90 bend is on an incline, how can I unblock it when the access cap cannot be removed into the loft space? Thank you
Always amazed that English construction allows for waste lines to run outside the home. All of ours in the US are mandated to run inside and our lines to the street are 4 feet underground.
@@arjanooms9612 All new houses do now, it’s the ones that are over a hundred years old where you can’t retrofit them inside where you get external pipes
Because the client had two toilets and this was the branch that connected to the main soil run. Rather than have two soil pipes, you have it going along the wall and meeting with the main soil pipe!
Great job that mate. Not a job i would enjoy, but you must be very satisfied when you see the blockage GO! BOOM!!! Scousers. Were great, and we take no shit off anyone.
Why doesn’t your customers move their cars, garbage cans, and other things prior to your arrival. They must love the flavor. Lol. And yes I jump away from my phone every time
can someone explain to me why that pipe was left 15 feet in the air and the clean out wasn't brought to ground level??? it would have been 1 million times easier to clean and 1 million times less mess to clean up
Well I don't know about you but I don't fancy the idea of having to step over the pipe every time I come in and out of that door or tripping over it when I forget its there.
@@tobyprior8839 thats a fair enough reason...I didn't think of that...but..they really could have put the clean out on the other side...or literally anywhere they wanted it to be....some are even flush with the ground so they aren't a tripping Hazzard
It would have been quite the show if the clean out was at the other side of the house right over that lovely sun room , what with all that splattering over the glass
I can't imagine how you were able to clean that up, especially because that ocean of poop was between you and all you clean up equipment in the van. I hope you had another clean set of work clothes in the van to use for the other jobs.
I hope the ladder was secured to the wall and you were attached and wearing a hard hat ! Elf an safety havin kittens But what bloody cowboy fitted that
I'm not familiar with building norms in the UK. Do most houses have the plumbing on the outside of the house versus under a slab? I can see it having to be run this way on very old buildings that were built prior to indoor plumbing but many/most of the jobs I have watched on your channel look like they are new enough to have indoor lines. Just curious.
A predictable .messy job, why not using something to collect all that stuff as a flexible pipe or something else. I hope your suite is water proof and easy to clean and that not retain that smell on it
The boiler suit was not waterproof... we use a separate washing machine for all overalls. It is difficult to use a flexible pipe and manage to get the access, it can be quite restrictive when you have to change where you're jetting from too if it is not working!
Camera angles aren't the best in this one as I was too busy dodging flying poo!
It's just like trying to stay away from the House of Windsor, isn't it?
Absolutely no need to apologize. Why didn't the plumber/builder run the access point all the way to ground level?
Its like The Matrix... Just with poo
…. I know of people that couldn’t even watch this.. you sir are actually doing it… you are actually COVERED , in poo.. and you just carry on and continue on to the Next Job!!! Like that is insane. Great work ethic it’s actually quite admirable!!!
It's crazy how you have access to all of the drains outside. Here in the states we have to cut walls and work in crawl spaces
Have you seen some of the Aussie crawlspace dungeons Drain Addict has spelled speulunked into ?

I thought the same about moving the car. Also it was obvious he would need to walk down that path. Couldn't they movebthe wheelie bins out the way?
Several of the videos I see the cars parked in the driveway. That would be okay if they park on the other side.

Nice. Love drain videos.
Lol. You should have a warning siren. Fire in the hole!
It’s not fire , it’s something much worse 😂😂
What is the main culprit that causes blocks like that?

That was a beautiful location for sure but quite messy as well. Thanks for posting this.
Ollie gets that messy at every job. 😁
Ollie would have gone in hand first with only a ripped glove for protection!
I was hoping to see you do the clean up afterwards😢

This! I did exactly this 🤣
me too, love this shit lol
Omg !!!!!!!! You are a hero
Not quite as messy as Klopps team selection....😂
😂😭
Better outside than in.
You need the fire brigade to hose that mess away :)
You have to really love your job
Jaysus, that gusher almost went over the fence into next doors garden.
I mean... I'm not sure what you wear at these jobs, but you should have a fucking cape, you superhero!
A big plastic garbage can would have collected alot of that snit.
Top man you guys are essential,good job my respects to you 👍
Oh that blockage clearing up was......wow 😂
Why it's smelly job.
But it's need be clean.
Awesome video.
Stay safe 👍🏻
Thanks 👍
I would have placed a trash bin underneath that clean out.
In hindsight, that would of been easier!
They have pop-up yard bag holders that are compact and easy to transport.
@@TheDrainUnblockers how many years have you done this? Hind-site not required
😂 Those clean overalls now look like leopard print. 😂
No buckets in the van? No access from inside?
If this wasn't so ungodly nasty and messy, it would be funny. Talk about a sh*t storm!

Could have avoided most of the mess if you used a rag/cover with a small hole in it to block the opening!

When the poop hits the fan.
Must be one if the worst! It’s all sewage, it all stinks - but there’s a significant difference between a manhole under your feet, or this disaster above your head.
Where was the blockage, the bsewage was flowing up hill so the blockage must have been in the down pipe or drain?
Boggles me
That was NASTY! The sound and sight of it splatting on the ground made me feel sick. What caused the blockage? Was there wipes in it?
Where would you even start with that clean up!!
A wall full of shiite. The neighbours must have love this 🤣😂🤣😂
What a messy one. Must have been a cleaning nightmare.
OH MY !!!! That was a not good......LOL .......but a Great video..........Keep up the great work. Loving your channel.
My experience with ensuite toilets is that it's been mostly small cisterns not holding enough water for a proper flush 😁
Would have loved to seen the clean up too! 😢

someone was a brightspark when they put that 4 inch in and left a screw on cap at the T end
Much, much better camera work. Looked professional! I sure don’t envy the clean-up job ahead of you though! 😁
You and me both!
the raw sewage toliet pipe is outside the building on a wall????? how is that legal?
Nice one. Abd funny too. Ty for the vid
Glad you enjoyed it
Always amazed that English construction allows for waste lines to run outside the home. All of ours in the US are mandated to run inside and our lines to the street are 4 feet underground.
The same in Holland. And i think it looks like crap. Al the drains on the outside walls into a drainpit🤦🏼♂️
@@arjanooms9612 All new houses do now, it’s the ones that are over a hundred years old where you can’t retrofit them inside where you get external pipes
Oh my ! that was unavoidable I guess, having to jet from that access point was bound to get messy 🤢
You guys need to take a ton of lessons from the Drian Addict
Omg...that is a messy one for you today....great job as always you definitely had a shitty day .lol..stay safe mate
Imagine the mess back in the bathroom
How do you not be physically sick
You need to get an access cover and drill a hole into it for jobs like that, push the jetter hose through and screw it on.....
Not surprising the system blocked up with 90 degree bends at each junction.
Maybe this is a stupid question, is there a reason why that pipe ends at the top not the bottom of the wall?
Because the client had two toilets and this was the branch that connected to the main soil run. Rather than have two soil pipes, you have it going along the wall and meeting with the main soil pipe!
Great job that mate. Not a job i would enjoy, but you must be very satisfied when you see the blockage GO! BOOM!!!
Scousers. Were great, and we take no shit off anyone.
Why did not put a big garbage can underneath

Nope! I quit!

That looks a lot like Sir William Regal from the WWE.
omfg that was horrific 😂
Surely there's a better way to put a access point so it doesn't all come spewing out!
We missed the clean up
