Most of that water would be from down pipes from the roof. The mesh blocked and water backed up. It wouldn’t have flooded the house because the brick wall is too low, it would’ve just flowed over the wall.

    Fizzlenickels, there must have been dozens of cubic metres of water backed up in this system. Puts drain 689 to shame in total volume!
    Also, funny how in the second drain the water was a foamy maelstrom... and then you look at the street exit and the flow is totally lamellar, no turbulence at all. Whoever designed that had road erosion in mind, so good job for him 👍

    Compared to waste water blockages storm waters are treat, but this blockage is so satisfying to watch when fixed!

    @chox2001 2 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    An interesting video the huge amount of water moved was amazing.
    The system was well designed but sadly wasn’t maintained.
    That’s where Ollie comes to the rescue. Great video thank you 🙏

    Well that explains everything. Before this I was watching Post10 walking around but there wasn't any water involved, then I turn up here and find out that Ollie has nicked it all.
    It evens out in the end. 😃👍

    Seemed like a pretty relaxed job but it must get sort of frustrating when the only problem is irregular maintenance. That pond never would have formed if the rack was cleaned on a regular basis. At least it wasn't filled with poo!

    • @Sea-cucumber1151
      @Sea-cucumber1151 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      It’s getting paid to watch water drain, so can’t be that frustrating. Someone lack of maintenance is money in his pocket. When they leave the loo to back up that is a different animal altogether

    Another well worth watching video by someone that likes their job. I got to say I was surprised to only see one filter being used, give the area you are in I thought it would have been either the 2 or 3 filter system in use for stormwater!.

      Keep in mind that the eastern States of Australia has been experiencing floods that have been higher than the last one hundred years, or another way more rain in a few days than an area will get in a year.
      A friend had a levy build around their house to cover the highest flood on record, well it turned out to now be the second highest flood on record, beating the old record by 200mm, or 8 banana widths.... umm I meant inches

      @jarrodheley7879 If Bald Eagles are protected, then you'd be needing a live animal, which isn't practical. Let's use a Wildlife Customary Standard Units, so 12BAC to 1 Banana Width? Or was that 16BAC?

    If the screen was turned upside down the leaves would fall off instead of blocking it and you could easily hose it clear from above without pulling it out or opening the pit at all.

  • @jamesspears7242

    He does good work.
    It's funny watching him swinging his arms out in front of the camera to show us that he's walking somewhere, as if we can't tell.
    I can just picture how that must look to people watching him.🤣🤦‍♂️
