Mum always had an old tin can that she poured any fat into after cooking. Then she'd let it cool off and it would go out in the rubbish. These people obviously didn't.
This is got to be the best Channel on TH-cam You've Got Mysteries from the unknown bees on flowers occasionally dogs ( I would like more dogs just saying LOL) problem solving it's great I love it!. You should wrap tape around your hose every 5 or 10 ft to give the viewers a better idea of how far you are in the hole.
This one is your version of "Grease" lol!!!!! Bee stalking is frowned upon here in Canada, as bees have rights too. Most of our bees would have either stung you or made sure you moved one way or another. lol Love Ollie's "BONDS" undies today hahahahahahaha. Not a nice grease clog, and I expect you will be lecturing her about it. I am sooo glad that you created this channel. If it wasn't for you gents, I'd never know what blocked my kitchen drain. Unfortunately, mine was compacted for the whole length of the pipes to my main drain (btw is inside in my basement). That was about 35 ft or so. Grease, composted food bits, etc. My poor plumber ended up getting a "bath" of this crap, and smelled horrible. He did get it cleaned out for me though!! Poor man had to shower twice to get the smell off of him. Can't wait for your next video!!!!!!!!
you look like you were having a good day today, which is nice to see. I was getting worried since the last videos you uploaded you looked super stressed out and needed a break.
I think that one pipe that was filled with concrete may have been rather vexing. He probably was getting frustrated because despite all the effort, it wasn’t going to clear.
Eternally spring down under. Its hot August here in Arkansas. I would love to have your winter, but your Christmas is in summer. LOL. Did you know that dandilions were brought from England and Ireland for honey bees that were also introduced. To Australia and America for wine making too!
👍👍👍3 things: Did you see the smile on the dog's face? The dog is clearly a happy DA and never misses an episode. 2. Headphone alert at 12:54 . 3. Sorry mate, but I already ate.👍👍👍
Our cleanout is in our basement. After they come through chopping up and clearing all the roots we clean the floors. It's not their fault their equipment is or may be dirty any more than its my fault my drain is filled with roots. It's just life. Clean it up and be glad they didn't have to tear up the yard or floors.
Now see, if Ollie said he needed access to the kitchen pipes, I would have run in there and emptied that whole area under there. His job is hard enough without having to shift a crapload of junk first. 😯
So I guess chasing grease with hot water when pouring it down the drain water is total bullshit then eh? Wow what a built up in that pipe. Great job fellas!!
@@apeflawless I don't, I soak some paper towels and light them on fire haha, great fire starter. It's just that it's impractical to pour insane amounts of hot water down the drain.
24:16 this is where you take the plate of hard, rancid fat to the customer and say "This was down your pipes. It's cooking fat. It goes hard like this. Here's my card, call me in six months when your sink blocks up again" ;-)
I just watched your first videos and wondered why you didn’t use that vacuum plunger gadget in the kitchen, but after seeing what ended up on the orange plate, I think I get it. If you’d done the baking soda/vinegar method how long would it have taken to clear out the pipes from the kitchen?
The FOG salad was a nice touch!! Little bit of everything here. Nice dog, and nice house. Great camerawork as usual. I can't believe how much grease was in there. Thank you for sharing guys.
Please people please clear out the area he will be working or is clogged he spends alot of time moving things ....he never leaves a mess but it would make his job so much easier and less stress if you just clear it all away before he gets there please be kind to this man he is a legend
I also noticed after seeing dozens of these videos the infrastructure seems to be in better shape ouotside the homes where there is no PVC than where I live. I think using the high pressure lines would cut through our pipes but I could be wrong about that.
Personally, I'd put all those grease chunks in a large zip-lock freezer bag and show it to the homeowner and politely ask them to stop dumping grease down their sink...
The customers kitchen sink won't drain yet they didn't consider the fact that 'rooter-guy' might actually have to get under the sink? Now HE has to move all their crap out of the way!
As an appliance repair guy... That dishwasher drain hose needs a loop on it. If the drain has grease that drain hose is going to get grease buildup as well. Granted Bosch doesn't have as big of a problem with that, nevertheless it needs to be done.
Dish of fat with dandelion greens. That's like having a big juicy bacon cheeseburger and washing it down with diet Coke! Moral of the story: keep those pickle jars ready.
Must be a rental, any home owner would throw some drain cleaner down there before calling in the professionals! Maybe I'm odd but at the minimum I would have taken the washing up out of the sink if I knew someone was coming round to check it, probably give the whole house a deep clean if I had more than an hours notice....Will need the pros in to decontaminate now after that hose has been inside!
I'm wondering what the 300th episode is and praying it is a long episode. The longer, the better. Hzve watched all videos 2 times now and some, 3. I think I may need to admit that I have a stopped up poo drain addiction. :)
This is why if you dump grease down the drain once in a while dump a full kettle of boiling water down the drain. If you have plastic pipes then dump some suphuric acid down the drain and if metal a bunch of draino even without a clop for maintenance occasionally.
Mechanical means is the only method to remove fats from drains, drains are designed for food and water only, with special toilet paper, restaurants etc, are required to have " Fat Traps" fitted here in the UK. Main sewers have fat Traps, and rag Traps.
The dog makes a quick retreat like he doesn't want to be involved with that greasetrap! 😁
That Grease and Dandelion buffet is very nice but some sweetcorn would of garnished that delicious meal. 😲 Great vid chap's 👍
I was about to mention thst there was no corn in this episode.
Mum always had an old tin can that she poured any fat into after cooking. Then she'd let it cool off and it would go out in the rubbish. These people obviously didn't.
My parents just poor it in the bin
Cameraman secretly wishes he worked for National Geographic.
Who knows what they catch one day in the drain
Where's Waldo? Filming these videos. (Check the shirt sleeve.) 😁
Lesson learned. We don't throw grease down the drain .🤦♀️ 🤔😒🥴
"Lunch is served!" Ha! Ya'll are crazy.

And the doctor said there’s too much fat in your diet... what does he know?! 😂🤣
You had me spoiled with 3 videos in 24 hours. A new video is exactly what I needed. Great job guys.
Love the dandelion on the plate, made me laugh! Thanks.

@Mike Studmuffin Nope. Not happening. lol Good thing I live in Canada. lmfao
Bonds are the best!
Some things I’ve learned that I never thought I’d know:
Beige frothy foam= grease
Gray-ish bubbly foam= camphor roots 😄
I think everyone on the planet stores their cleaning supplies in the cupboard under the sink!
In some parts the trashcan is also there 9/10 times
Don’t you think the cameraman needs a new and brighter torch ? If I were close I would bring him one !
Maybe beam focus, if so equipped?
Feest batteries
I'm about to get lead poisoning from the levels of Plum-Bum in this video!
This dude is the man! He is a professional and does whatever it takes to get the job done.
chasing the bee with the camera around had me singing, "No Rain" by Blind Melon and I had to watch the video =0)
Now I know what soap rocks are. Amazing!!
Finally!! I've been waiting for todays vid Mr DA!! You've made an addict out of me!! 😂😂😂
jiminy cricket Yes, I thought they were on a Holiday. A lot of nature shots in this one…
almost to 300! hopefully it's a whopper of a clog
rysho1 I can imagine a montage of noteworthy events set to the 1812 overture! Ka-booooooom!
i wish double-barrel-action ;)
That would be a high fat lunch! At least you garnished it nicely.
That was a whole heck of a lot of whitish grey gold. 💚💚

Those are some beautiful samples of grease and cholesterol!

A massive clog, an adorable Golden Retriever, and someone wearing a "where's Waldo" shirt... How do you top that???
If they only knew where that hose and reel have been thats traveling through their living room 🤮
Meh, probably no more fecal bacteria on it than is on our phones.

Or the fecal matter that floats in the air and onto your toothbrush. Num num num num.
After calling the Drain Addict, the owners might want to call a good cardiologist next.
OK Ollie, you can have your greenthumb back. Youve officially spread the seed of nature first thing in the video :P
Amazing all the grease, but considering the "organization" of the kitchen, I'm not surprised! Yummy lunch!
Even served with a garnish. Classy! LOL
Now see, if Ollie said he needed access to the kitchen pipes, I would have run in there and emptied that whole area under there. His job is hard enough without having to shift a crapload of junk first. 😯
What I've learned from these videos is that when you see that milk shake foam, you know there is going to be a lot of fat inside the pipes.
Or those roots that make a big white foam
@@arthousemanagers7352 they make different kind of foam, like soap bubbles
Grease or those tree roots.
What aa lovely natured dog :)
So I guess chasing grease with hot water when pouring it down the drain water is total bullshit then eh? Wow what a built up in that pipe. Great job fellas!!
you need a lot of hot water to heat up the the water traps and the piping itself.
You never pour grease down a drain, if you do, use cold water. Even when dumping coffee use cold water.
@@apeflawless I don't, I soak some paper towels and light them on fire haha, great fire starter. It's just that it's impractical to pour insane amounts of hot water down the drain.
@@vaporainwaves And the rest of the sewer system - the grease is going to go solid somewhere eventually as the hot water cools down.
@@jamesgrimwood1285 Find out what happens next in fatberg episode 2
Is it weird that I’m eating a footlong subway sandwich while watching this. Like does it not phase anyone to eat snacks or whatever while they work?

Even the dogs love the Addict
Grease... It's what's for dinner at that house!
We love you in West Virginia
I see that Australia has those same pesky dandelions like we do here in America, they’re like politicians here.
I wish I could have seen the reaction of the customer husband and wife. That's shock, then a look of anger along with a palm to the forehead .
The FOG salad was a nice touch!! Little bit of everything here. Nice dog, and nice house. Great camerawork as usual. I can't believe how much grease was in there. Thank you for sharing guys.
13:24 Awwwwwww, that face!!!!!
That nice stone yard calls for pressure washing.
Love the vids and I never miss them. Are you the owner of that Draingo franchise or an employee? You sir are a master of tools of your trade !
Awwyeah its Drain Addict time
How is the equipment maintained?
How many clothes are in the van
What happens after the job ist done?
Ollie's like the honey badger - he don't care!

Bon appétit from the chefs at DA.
Gourmet white gold! Too funny.
It must have taken a lot of sausage, bacon, and pork chops to make up a clog like that. It looks like -- money.
Thanks guys!! Absolutely love your vids!! Nice long one! 👍🇦🇺💩

How is the weather over there? Been watching since the beginning and you guys are still wearing the same thing.
We are in the middle of winter here Phillip Berger!
Drain Addict Can’t be , winter means COLD not green grass and dandelions! Your summers must be smoking hot 🥵
@@donnawoodman6249 oh hell yes, they bloody are.
Expensive lesson - Do NOT put grease down your pipes!

Watched so many videos and finally fatbergs!
Dandelions are everywhere 😮😮

still impressed how you put that hose down the pipes. Took you like 10 seconds, would have taken me, over an hour lol
Do you mention to the customers not to put grease down the drains or do you just smile and think of the job security?
The finish 😄👍🏼
3:11 and 4:58 - some nice bee stalking, though the bee didn't seem too pleased.
Bella la torta con i fiorellini 😂😂😂
Oh great now you're blowing on those dandelions effectively making these videos into a kotex commercial!! (Forehead slap)!!!

supers54 seriously! I am going to spend this weekend cleaning my sink...
I’ve been meaning to ask you when you’re launching your cooking channel?😂
I hate Dandelions...the worst frickin weed. Was old mate cameraman doing his Ronald McDonald impression with that stripy shirt

Yayyyy within 9 minutes of your video upload
You gotta stop and smell the flowers
One thing missing from under the sink is the old coffee can with grease pourings.
Good show
You ever burn a dandelion? It's hella satisfying. HAHAHA at that dandelion and grease dish.
*WE'VE GOT LUNCH!!!!*
That house had to smell like a french fry factory given the amount of grease that was in that drain!!!
What an untidy woman to have a kitchen like that 👿
At least the property owner had the area under the sink all cleaned out for you so you had easy access.
This is why if you dump grease down the drain once in a while dump a full kettle of boiling water down the drain. If you have plastic pipes then dump some suphuric acid down the drain and if metal a bunch of draino even without a clop for maintenance occasionally.
Or pour your grease into an old coffee can and throw it away when it’s full and/or stinky
What about organic compost / bio / kitchen waste - could/should oil and grease be dumped there? (If not; why?)
Ollie can correct me if I’m wrong but I think this episode proves that fat/grease do NOT break down, which is fairly mandatory for mulch/compost
Mechanical means is the only method to remove fats from drains, drains are designed for food and water only, with special toilet paper, restaurants etc, are required to have " Fat Traps" fitted here in the UK. Main sewers have fat Traps, and rag Traps.
Great stuff😎😎😎
Are y'all allowed to use "S" traps or is there a vacuum break under the sink that we cannot see?
Closing in on 300 needs to be something special.
Grease is the word.. is the word that you heard.
Guys, if farmers are saying they may turn to flies to pollinate crops, you could be saving all that goodness for them!!
