I was just trying to think of his name 😂it’s a small world at times! But I think it’s great that we can speak with people from all over the world in the comments 😁
Thank you for the run, it was quite exhilarating! I can only do slow walking 😂 But my toes are stimming, the autistic part of me is feeling icked by seeing rain drops hitting your legs in shorts and wet shoes and socks 😩 ooof, I just hate that 😂
Hi Gavin. This one is in a Luvly suburb. I am surprised that You don`t drop a dye in the pit to see where the water is draining to. Nice work on this one. David.
Gigantic, never seen something whirlpoolig like that. Yeah, can feel the pressure folks! Im an soooo excited, thanks the gods you got all your cam equipment with you whilst doing your job. So we could all see that and praise the new lord of drainage. Hail to him! Let´s start a go fund me to buy some rubber boots and some dry towels for him. Good blast with the mouth cleans every high pressure syringe a good cleany cleany.
I think that water is the most amazing thing in the universe. It creates such joy, gives life, can destroys nearly everthing, can be broken down to rocket fuel, oxygen, hydrogen and more. How friging cool is that. Probably one of the reasons I'm a plumbing and heating engineer. Cheers Gav.
Love your vids man! I used to live in Adelaide for almost 3yrs, n trying to get back permanently lol so watching ur vids tides me over till then hahahaha. Your content is very much appreciated 🙇🏾
Great job not drowning in the pool Gavin. Between blocked pipes, sandbags, and all the other things to make it harder for you, you did a marvelous job sir. Well done!
I'm from North Carolina in US. I for some reason addicted to this channel. I asked my husband if we could have roots in ours. He said our pipes were under the house. We do have septic and a drain fill. When we moved here we cut several big trees down. Anyway just babbling. Southerners seem to do that. Love you....ever get to NC look me up.
In the states we have the ability to put in what is know as a backflow preventer. It goes from the large cistern to the street connection and keeps water from the street getting into your home. This is important if you have a basement and a high water table because days of rain will cause a big flood issue into your home. Of course you still have to keep your drains clear of roots and the like. Congrats on cleaning out the lady's backyard pool Gav. Might come back with the camera.
When you have a drain you are working on and there are two outlets on the road put some food coloring in the one you are working on so you know which drain on the road you are working with.
The sound of gurgling water is so satisfying. Impressive you were able to get that flowing. ☔ It would be great to have an update if you went back. Happy Easter to you, Mrs. P and your family!
Happy Easter to each and everyone in the comments and to Given and the boss. Hope you all are enjoying the day and the video Also, that was funny where that man popped in during the intro
I'm half a world away but non the less I'd been following the bad weather down under. Of course wondering why there was no obvious signs on the channel. Now the time difference (?) has caught up it's great to see. My friends kids had been body boarding in their yard.
As always great work. I bet it's the left exit of the two. Just as they come in frame @970 (16:10) a leaf pops out. After the yard drains you can see a few similar ones laying about.
After my Dad passed and we cleaned out his garage we found 3 sets of those tip cleaners but never knew what they were for I will have to tell my brothers that the mystery is solved.BTW Dad was a Plumber for 51 years
Happy Easter to you all. This was a really good one, so satisfying to watch. The poor customer watching the water level rising and it still chucking it down, must've been so scary. Another one sorted, best regards to you, Mrs P and little P !!
Can you send some rain back this way, Gavin? Its nice to see it. Great work. Hope your Easter was quieter than mine. Always look forward to your next video.
Incredible video for one thing getting wet because of the flooding conditions in the yard and then raining on top of that. See it on the videos one thing but to actually be there and doing that I cannot even imagine. You are a lifesaver for a client, if it would be me I would be panicking. Hopefully when you run the camera down it’s just a bunch of roots and you can fix it for them. Great job on a rainy day. Steve
Happy Easter, good job Gavin, after watching your videos I purchased a little jetting kit to connect to gerni just for maintenance which is what people should do.
Will be interesting to see what was stopping the nozzle. Talk about a cliff hanger! Good on ya mate for draining the garden though, they’ll be glad their not going to be swimming from the kitchen to the dining room 👍
Those tip cleaners are generally used on oxyacetylene torches but they also work good on shower heads when you have hard water and minerals start to build up around the orifices and start closing them off. I do my shower head every few months just to keep it spraying good.
Having the water build up to your patio door is very heartbreaking. It happened to me when I first baught my house. I had a river flowing through the garage.
I have a question, after every time clearing a drain do you go through your own 'decontamination' routine? For your body, the equipment, and all the tools and hoses. I would assume that is the case but everyone has their own routine.
Hi Gavin. I have been distracted today and have just watched 2 episodes of The Sewer Men from UK, and also the Sewer Man from Pakistan. Still prefer to watch you. You are far more particular as to making sure that all associated pipes are jetted to be sure things are properly cleaned and blockages removed, not just the 'pipe from the particular blocked toilet'. Keep up the good work and be carefull in this latest lot of rain. All the best from Mum in Adelaide. ✋✋✋✋
GAVIN,helllo, that second SWIMMING POOL ,that’s some water , I heard thunder whylst it was pouring at least it’s running off, need. Candid Camera, suspect roots, get DRY, STAY WELL, 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇺🇸🇺🇸
You could throw some dye down the pipe on a better, drier, day and work out which outlet it is out in the street. It might be time to make a major capital investment in a new set of tip cleaners even 2 sets. Cig or Repco will have them. I'm a mechanic and we use them for cleaning out windscreen wiper nozzles when they are blocked. You can never find wire thin enough . Awesome vid and 10 points for persistence.
I love when family and friends call me with a blocked sewer pipe or drain line. Most people don't have a clue what is underground. They don't understand how there sewer lines in the house work or wich one is sewer. I have with there help dug 4ft deep trenches on there private property. Replacing with PVC. When working for gas utility I loved to dig by hand and still do I'm 60. They are surprised about location of underground sewer line and location of problem. Most lawn repairs take 2 days and I pride myself on people not knowing where the trench was. Average private property repair 5k to 7k. Friends and family feed me and make sure water and coffee are a call away. I believe 1 day I'll get a favor from them in return
Gavin only 1 thing you missed buddy....sent the root cutter and provided 2 options which were 1) Get through at a different angle, 2) bring something back, but you left out 3) Hope like heck I do not get hung up.....LOL. Awesome piece of work getting it flowing. Can not wait for the follow up when you get to seriously "sort" this one out.
@@penetratorblockeddrains I got my mini jet hung last week. I paused a moment, ran the camera up and saw it turned and ran up a sink drain line, but never made it to the sink. I remembered Ollie once saying a lot of times a double twist will release them. Would you believe it popped right loose with a double twist on the hose? These videos help I promise you.
The Easter Sunday Video bring You a Rainday Work! The Terrace to stand under Water!! You find the Drain and Clearing. The Water to flow slow off. I wish You and your family a beautiful Ester holiday. Greeting 🇦🇹🐣🐰🐇
Thank you 😊 The really wasn’t any need at the time. When it’s a rain event, The goal was to get the drain flowing to stop the flooding. Further investigation can happen at later date if they choose to.
I live in Texas, along the Gulf Coast. This is a very common problem - and yet people STILL insist on planting trees along the pipes! (incoming water as well as sewer and storm)
Happy Easter Australia from Bakersfield California USA. I I have seen some weather reports from your part of the world where there's so much rain and flooding going on God bless you all you're in my prayers. Sir you are a hard working.
💥I know this is an old video, but maybe it would help if you kept a few bottles of "Food Colourants" in the truck? 🤔 That way you could have found out which pipe was which?!! 👍👍👍
Post10 would be proud of that whirlpool!
Whirlpool watchers around the world. Orlando Florida here.
Ollie he isn’t, hopefully he gets better so I’ll leave my final judgment after a few more episodes
I was just trying to think of his name 😂it’s a small world at times! But I think it’s great that we can speak with people from all over the world in the comments 😁

Thank you Gavin for sharing your hard work. When people see how difficult the work is they will appreciate you more.
You should carry a packet of yellow dye. Might help determine the pipe the flow is coming from.

Happy Easter everyone from me in the UK, hope there is a part 2 to this as it would be good to find out how big the roots were!

very nice result indeed :) why did u not go up from the street as well?
Looked like with all the water from the rain he couldn't tell which pipe was theirs (there were two pipes next to each other on the street).
@@NicolaiAAA yeah i saw that too, maybe go up both although i guess he was very busy at the time

Did you resolve the problem in the pipe ?
One good thing was that you didn't have to worry about was any telltale messy backflow into the yard.

Tosses the paint can wire back on the lawn. What a Schmuck.
Do whirlpools in Australia always naturally go anti clockwise?. Would this be different North of the Equator ?. Being upside down as it were ?.
You should carry dye on you so you can see which drain it coming out of!
