Find a drain, cover in 300mm of soil and stone, plant a tree on it to be sure...dont even cover it in a slab to find it Ever.. Some people baffle me...
Heres a little story for you. i used to work for a marquee hire company. We used a Hitachi rock breaker with a cup fitting and generator to drive in the 700 mm long, 22 mm diameter pins to hold the marquee ropes down. We had a map provided to us showing the locations of the drains and cables were on a site. we were setting up a 6x9 m marquee . One of the guys drove a pin dead centre into the 1in watermain going into this event centre. The ground rose and he took a step back then it burst out of the ground spraying water and mud every where. Quite impressive. The garden staff came over and had a go at us for wrecking the place. It took them 40 minutes to find the valve to shut it off. It went from a nicely mowen lawn area to a bomb site in less than a minute. It wasn't where the map said it was either. LOL We had the marquee in the right place on the map but the mains were 6 metres off where the map said they were. The valve was buried half a metre down in a raised garden. The plumber turned up with a metal detector in his van luckily. One of the electricians turned up with one a few minutes later. We had to phone up the shop and get them to run another set of vinyl walls and roof sections as the other ones were covered in mud. So now we had to move the marquee to a different part of the event centre with about another 10 or so other trade displays. The map had been taken off the original plans for the place and no one had corrected them.
Hm, that a lot of people who didnt do their job right then. 😂 Either the ones who laid the pipes or the ones who made the plan, and the people who thought burying the valve was a good idea. In a better world, the map would have been right/pipes laid accordingly AND the valve should have been placed somewhere where its easily accessible, even when raising the yard.
Be thankful you hit the Water Mains and not the Gas Mains or a buried Regional Electrical Grid Feeder Line (they tend to run 27,500 Volts or so depending on the area)...
Oh man, that’s gonna be a bomb of a cost to get all that sorted and repaired 😧. Gonna have to excavate the whole damn front yard basically 😳 Yikes! Nice work guys!
🇳🇱NL. Sometimes it goes well in one go and sometimes it is against it is no different next time better success greetings from the Netherlands and on to a lot of jobs and videos.👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I have watched all your videos. Lesson can be learnt here 1. Don’t cover the pipe access point, 2. Bring the pipe to the ground level, 3. If all else failed hire these guys for more TH-cam content for my viewing :)
Gets me so cranky when people think that it is ok to cover up an access to a drain system. So Oliver and Jost, do you guys usually end up doing the replacement of the trap?
@@James_Bowie there's alot of truth to that! I have had so many projects where the clients opt out of doing all of the landscaping during the initial phase (mainly due to budget constraints) and each and every time they've had a landscaper come in and finish things later we have run into problems. Everything from covered cleanouts, covered control boxes, crushed piping, etc etc.
@@thenextstepp I've known a few short term landscapers. Their team of casual 'workers' usually signed on for a few days and then quit because the work was too hard. Totally clueless: Dump soil and rock anywhere, install ag drains that aren't anything like a drain, plant totally inappropriate trees, lay pavers without road base, ... the list is endless.
I dont think landscapers in Switzerland have to deal with those access points and similar. Good for them I guess 😂 And at least from the looks, I actually like what the landscapers did in this frontyard. I can kinda relate to them, they are just (under)paid to make gardens look nice and according to customers wish, I guess they dont even have the authority to look out for drains and such. Usually its the bosses who say for what's to care and what's "not your job/problem."
Not sure what they call those trees in Australia (the one with no leaves over the trap) but here we call them "rubber trees" and they are stupid looking and annoying without leaves.
Maybe after they replace it (probably have replaced it by the time of this comment), it can be brought to surface instead of under the ground.... Awesome video as usual.
They will be needing a portaloo for a couple days? Thats going to be fun. bye bye frangipani. You've got the wall the garden and you have to watch out for the mains by the fence there too. Oh Buggar.
Hi! In the uk we don’t have boundary traps! Can you explain a couple of things? 1: why are your access drains not easily accessible? 2: and what is a boundary trap? Thanks Darren
The drain was not accessible because some landscaper decided to plant a tree right there and then bury it with 3 feet of rocks right on top of the clean out without extending it up 3 feet so it sticks up through the surface of the ground and if I’m not mistaken in a boundary trap is basically a U-shaped trap that goes at the boundary of your property separating the street sewer from your main sewer line
Think i will put a border in this morning , doesn,t look as this drain is important, then i can finish it off with a tree !!! Crocodile Dundee,s screwdriver come out !!! WOW
A couple of weeks ago, a male ex-employee assaulted me at work, had me in a tight headlock, on my tiptoes. I look over and my yellow belly boss man is just sitting there...wtf. I know you would not let that happen. I got home and watched you doing an actual man's job. There's still hope for the men in this world. All clear!🙋
not really a plumbing person but I am guessing a boundary trap is a bit like an S bend for the whole property so you dont get main sewer smell up the pipes
Even when given shitty news, you brits take it all so well lol. If that was here in the U.S there would be lots of "you gotta be kidding me", "are you serious?" "for fucks sake" anf other curse words.
Feel, lack of draining and the colour of the water. The pipe was buried in clay soil and when the pipe broke, the clay got into the water, turning it that silver-grey-blue colour.
Nah, Dynamite isn't focused enough, too much of the blast would be wasted into the air, just fit a shaped charge to the place the trap lid was and push the button... Voila: No more Clogged or Collapsed Trap... And the city Sewer Mains are now Fatburg free for at least 5 miles down stream... And the REAL benefit is the hole to install the new PVC replacement Boundary Trap has already been "dug" for you...
Not the way he had to hammer the cover......, The Clay pipe collapsed, so the entire run to the house has to be replaced with PVC, What is the bet that they leave an access hatch above ground level, not buried under a foot of dirt and shingle. Most of that front garden is going bye bye. DA does the blockage clearing or finding the collapse, other contractors will have to come and do the fun work.
More rocks! And a tree! And a wall! And a collapsed pipe! Well, at least the weather was nice. Best channel on TH-cam.

Not everything can be repaired without significant excavation. Nice camera work too..looks like a nice area. Thank you for sharing guys.

Seems to make DA cranky too ;-)
@@TheAidanorton You can hear it in his voice at 6:03
Nice house, bad plumbing.
I'm from the Northern US and I'm always amazed at how much of the plumbing you work is on the outside of homes.
Their layouts are very similar to ours in the US actually. There's pretty much always access outside your house, and it's rare when there isn't.
Ouch that's going to be expensive, I want to see the dig up and replacement.
Seems like a fun job for whoever's has to dig out the line.
Do people not know that they cover their drains up? What do you do when it collapses? Do you fix it or someone else? Sucks that it collapsed. ❤
Cleaning up the dirty world one crappy job at a time Thankyou so veryy very much !
Why do people not put an extension on the access instead of burying it under 2ft of soil
Answer: landscapers.

this is why we hire landscapers that have been around a few decades.

If you guys end up fixing these issues, can you please try and film it. That would be cool to see! Keep up the good work guys! 🇦🇺
What a great guy to get it cleared fo the weekend. Hell of a good man.
Well that work went down the drain.... lmfao!! Glad you found the collapse. Now for the repair...
Everyone of these is like a new adventure..
Can’t win them all. But excellent work otherwise.👍👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
That TIE Fighter is heading for that small moon.
Plunk, plunk, plunk go the rocks down the drain. That surely is making a bad situation much worse. That will be great fun to dig up and replace....
Joy's of bad tree/rock placement
Not sure what they call those trees in Australia (the one with no leaves over the trap) but here we call them "rubber trees" and they are stupid looking and annoying without leaves.
4:47....bloop!
Do you ask the owner to add extra piping for the buried covers? It would make your job much more easier! It ain’t easy but somebody’s got to do it 👍
Good job.
At least the trees in the customer's garden were not the cause of the blockage this time, it's collapsed downstream.
Im happy... monday morning and new video for breakfast... amazing guys.... hey camera man, show your face one time.... lol

Looks like a pulsating animal at the bottom of that pipe, nice intro
Kind of relieved we didn’t get the 🌽on this one. Strong work mates
Thanks now I can sleep good knowing there’s another clean pipe out there 😊
I’d fire up a chainsaw just to see the reaction of the homeowner. Lol.
A nice yard for a change
Not for much longer, a lot of it is going to be dug up.
Hello mr. I love Ur videos. I was the one view 109 videos in a day..😍
Collapsed boundary trap only thing Drain Addict gets defeated by.

Collapsed, or just filled up with the pieces of lid and river rocks that fell down it?
Blocked Drain 1, Drain Addict 0 😩
I hope they don't have to destroy the frangipane for it.

So in this type of situation seeing it wasn’t your fault and it’s just a collapsed pipe do you still get paid for attempting to unblock the drain

That was huge disappointment. I wanted to see the yard dig and replacement job.
How do you know it has collapsed? Is it by feel, the lack of draining? 💚💚
Feel, lack of draining and the colour of the water.
The pipe was buried in clay soil and when the pipe broke, the clay got into the water, turning it that silver-grey-blue colour.
And a drain full of rocks
All you do is blow water. When do you do. Something to fix ??
Wow
Have You ever tried dynamite? 🙄🗯️🤕
Kanalisatoer from Werner (Volles rooää) would make all good. No blockage, no piping and no house left when done.
Nah, Dynamite isn't focused enough, too much of the blast would be wasted into the air, just fit a shaped charge to the place the trap lid was and push the button...

Return customer's not right. Sorry just being honest.
Did the customer replace the trap?
on a side note i feel sorry for that tree its right in the middle of the hole that will need to be dug to fix the pipe
Why would they not add a piece of pipe to come up to ground level
Mr Landscape architect thinks it does not look nice and fucks with the Zen of the garden. And he is not the one fixing the problem in future.
I'm sorry guys, collapsed boundary traps suck.
Utterly defeated
Buon lavoro ragazzi!!

I've always wondered - do you guys carry spare covers/lids? Or do you "suggest" that they get a plumber in?
