Gavin, I’m a long time viewer and after watching your last several videos I felt compelled to tell you that for the second half of my life I’m NOT going to rush right out and buy my own jetter.
That was one heck of a battle Gavin. ROOTS, MORE ROOOOOTS AND ROOOOOOOOTS EVERYWHERE!! Great effort sir. Sometimes the odds are against you, but purely the client should have given this problem some attention much sooner. Now it is major league repair time. Well done sir.
2:30 Holy Moly, those aren't roots, that's a dam garden in that pipe. By the looks of those drain pipes, I bet they also have the start of a roof garden as well! The ground all around the drain pipes looks like creeping mouse eared chickweed, lots of trailing roots and hard to get rid of. Can't kill it, have to pull all the roots out. Took me years to finally get rid of it in my back yard and can't use weed killer or it will kill the grass. QUESTION: Why don't most homes have cellars like in the US? All our pipes for a house are in our cellars and run out to a main drain or septic tank. Australia looks like such a nice place to live. My cousin has been living in Sidney for years. If only I was 20-30 years younger! 🙂
I'm just pleased it was storm water and not sewage. As usual Gavin you gave 110% and gave Bianca a full appraisal of the situation. Thanks for posting 👍
Hope you get to feeling better Mr. P . Thank you for the videos , I enjoy the suspense in watching and waiting for the drains to clear . Blessing's to you and your family
ROOOOOOTS for sure!! Wow, those pipes were a mess and you did a great job but think she’s made a good choice to upgrade. Prayers you get to feeling better really quick!🙏 👍👍👏👏👏👍👍
Great video Gavin. Hard to believe the drain was clogged for so long. You definitely don't want water hanging around your foundation. Have a good weekend!🌎
That one was a bit tricky. I can't believe it's been blocked for 5 years. You have to have a well drained home to avoid foundation problems. The repair will be costly. Great video. Cheers
Gavin, you know you have a great video when my wife and I are figuring out what tools you are going to use on a job like this. I was figuting you would start with the Lance gun. She picked something down stream to get things started.
Good decision. Fix it, fix it all and fix it right. Like they say about th difference between good maintenance and bad. Good maintenance takes downtime and costs a lot of money. Bad maintenance takes more of both.
Your doing a great job mate good advice to the owners about redirect the drains before they do the upgrade it will make sense and save them Money in the near future h😂
Good video. I can't understand why people who can afford lovely homes with Large! yards don't do yearly maintenance like having your drains cleared. Where I live it is cleaning the eaves, checking the roof, ensuring the draftproofing is sealed on the windows etc. I always tell people if you are thinking of buying a house make sure you have a GOOD inspection done on it first. Then make sure you have a plumber, carpenter, roofer, electrician, and handyman in your immediate circle of friends. LOL
Why do all the gutter pipes (storm water pipes) in Australia seem to run underground out to the street? In the US we don't run our gutter pipes underground or to the street. Our downpipes just come down the side of the house, extending less than a foot from the wall, and the water just drains into the yard or even down the driveway. Some people will put small extensions on the end of the downpipes if they want the water to drain a little further from their house, but it's all above ground! Seems like a big old pain and very expensive to clear roots with underground gutter pipes. Just curious!! Thanks. Love your show!!
I have a suggestion for you. Get you the head and neck camera holder. Maybe even the chess holder. Then get you a second camera for the tripod. That way you can have the tripod setup at all times. Can you can transfer the second camera from the head to neck or chest holder with snaps right in and out very quickly. And you don't have to put it in in your mouth. And you have to hands-free. There are some pretty easy software that allows you to edit two different camera angles to make your cool looking film.
ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOTS, ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOTS, Jaboc (my pooch) is listening to me all video....He thinks I'm going bonkers. Then today he heard new ones: MUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUD, DEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRT, , The accent is a little difficult for him he's German, I'm Brit -- so I can understand most of it. He'll catch on. We both love 'THE PENETRADER (Penetrator) -- Good on ya mate -- Keep 'em comin'. Cheers
On average, how long are the jobs you work on? You mentioned that you worked here at this job for 2 hours, is that your normal service call time? How many other plumbers in your area do the type of work you do? Love you videos.
Being an old fart and having too much time on my hands I watch Ollie and yourself religiously. One thing I noticed is Ollie seems to destroy his gloves where you don't. As Professor Julius Sumner Miller would say "Why is it so".

when you were pulling root out of drain, I found myself clinching my fist trying to help you pull it out.😂😂🤣😅😅
That was one heck of a battle Gavin. ROOTS, MORE ROOOOOTS AND ROOOOOOOOTS EVERYWHERE!! Great effort sir. Sometimes the odds are against you, but purely the client should have given this problem some attention much sooner. Now it is major league repair time. Well done sir.
🐸 They had a problem putting things off UNTIL they decided to procrastinate! 🙂

I was thinking 🤔 the same thing. Just water,....whew!!!!😂😂
Great video. Love how you say roots. Keep up the great work.
Gavin, that is a bloody muddy mess!
A 5 year block! Got to be rooty goodness and foundation madness. You beat the roots at their own game. Enjoy your weekend; catch some crabs.
The brick work on that house is realy nice
Hope you get to feeling better Mr. P . Thank you for the videos , I enjoy the suspense in watching and waiting for the drains to clear . Blessing's to you and your family
hi gavin much love from the USA 🇺🇸
ROOOOOOTS for sure!! Wow, those pipes were a mess and you did a great job but think she’s made a good choice to upgrade. Prayers you get to feeling better really quick!🙏
👍👍👏👏👏👍👍
Another notch on your belt man. Thank you for sharing this part of your life with us. 😊😊😊
Love riding to our next stinky job, whistling all the way 😊
Great video Gavin. Hard to believe the drain was clogged for so long. You definitely don't want water hanging around your foundation. Have a good weekend!🌎
Have. A good one too
Well done sound like you have a cold take care
Great video Gavin! I am sorry you had to work so hard on this one, and get wet and cold. Say "Hi" to Mrs. P. and Missy P. for me! Have a great day!
Wow what a Job. Doing the best you can with what you've got.
Interesting clogged drain for sure....well done sir 😊😊😊😊😊
I found you about a week ago and I love your videos. Watching from USA.
Welcome
ROOOTS!! 😂 another great video Mr.P I know for you it’s a lot of work but it’s so satisfying seeing you yank all those trees out of the pipes!
Wow! Worked hard on this one. And being sick too. Praying for a speedy recovery.
That one was a bit tricky. I can't believe it's been blocked for 5 years. You have to have a well drained home to avoid foundation problems. The repair will be costly. Great video. Cheers
Great job Gavin.
Thanks for sharing
Good job mate! See you on the next one 👍
ROOOTS! My favorite!
Aussie wombat eats roots shoots and leaves yah??😂😂😊😊
Hahahaha
Wow gavin that owner has alot of roots in the storm water drain u cleared it for them way too go mate right O si u on the next one
Looks like you struck oil there Gavin 😂😂 ✌🏻😎
Gavin, you know you have a great video when my wife and I are figuring out what tools you are going to use on a job like this. I was figuting you would start with the Lance gun. She picked something down stream to get things started.
that's some premium compost you've just brought up from those pipes!
Good decision. Fix it, fix it all and fix it right. Like they say about th difference between good maintenance and bad. Good maintenance takes downtime and costs a lot of money. Bad maintenance takes more of both.
Love your introduction! It’s very different, interesting, and fun!!
I think I have a problem. I find it strange the enjoyment I feel when I see a new video from you. lol
RIGHT UP!
When other plumbers can't clear a drain they call you to get the job done like the video you put out. I'm a new subscriber to your channel
Wow that's a lot of roots and dirt ❣️ Great Job 👍
Thank you 😊
The down spouts are gushing Black Gold!
This is one you can really get stuck into Gavin. ROOTS for everyone. Beyond economic help. But you didn't know until you tried clearing it.
Love watching your channel
Thank you 😊
A great controlling of the root problem. At least its under control. Enjoy the weekend, and see you on the next! Cheers Gavin! 😊
So sad that the homeowner was not obvious to the problem!
Thank you for a crazy video…..
Your friend from Wisconsin, USA
At least they are looking to get it fixed before they pour a new concrete deck.
Imagine the old chaps concentrating on a golf putt and as they start to swing, "ROOOOTS!!!"
The Penetrator is the best! 👍🏼
Love Them ROOOOTTSSSS. God video. Nice day from Dennark
Your doing a great job mate good advice to the owners about redirect the drains before they do the upgrade it will make sense and save them
Money in the near future h😂

ROOOOOOOTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🤣🤣
You just make me laugh. Funniest plumber on TH-cam! There should be a plaque with a title sent to you. Again, hysterical!
as always an outstanding job!
Thanks again!
Might try giving the pressure washer a little more throttle before starting it.
ROOTS!!!
lol looks both ways.. WHERE OFF TO A BLOCKED DRAIN!
Great Job Gavin, can't win them all 👍
Why the hell they wait till that extend
Rooots! AND Brute force!
Thank you Jake and Michelle 🗡️
Uk watching
I always enjoy watching from Alabama U.S.A.
Thank you 😊
Anyone else know what is the name of THE SONG??
No idea, perhaps use Shazam?
The song is "Road to Roma"
Great video yet again but your jetter is overdue for a service😢 hate to see you try and clear a drain without the jetter 😂
Why does Penetrator use satnav?
ROUTES.
A very good firday evening to you sir
Good day

Roots 😃
but conversely the longer they leave it, the more entertaining the video....

Bad job there Gavin those bloody roots again causing you so much problems.
I was rooting for you when you were trying to clean out the down pipe lol
are you saying right up at the end of intro?
right-O see at the next job
pipes been rooted 😂
😂
Looks like good compost in the down pipe.
Do you have a seperate washing machine for your work clothes 🤪
@3:50 off subject, but... You've got great legs and arms!
You know only old farts like me are going to get the “rinse and repeat” joke. So Willy Wonka was impressed with your dark chocolate fountains. 11/10
Yes 11 lol
**GROWL!!!** (I said roots, though)
Roots
Without Roots not Plants!, and without Plants, not Life of this Planet!!!
ROOTS
why is the water pressure crap oh wait your in Queensland
roooots
👍👍
Nothing wrong with a dirty root now and then...
Have you been taking swimming lessons
Haha
move the chairs
Having watched a good number of these videos they all seem to be the result of what we call Shoddy work and Shoddy low quality gear pity really
Rooooots 😂
👋🏻🌻🇺🇲😉👍🏻
Flex pipe going underground? Not very smart.
Being an old fart and having too much time on my hands I watch Ollie and yourself religiously. One thing I noticed is Ollie seems to destroy his gloves where you don't. As Professor Julius Sumner Miller would say "Why is it so".
Add drain cleaning Australia. Bruce is hilarious
o menino da porteira
daniel
composição: luizinho / teddy vieira
toda vez que eu viajava pela estrada de ouro fino
de longe eu avistava a figura de um menino
que corria abrir a porteira depois vinha me pedindo
toque o berrante seu moço que é pra eu ficar ouvindo
quando a boiada passava e a poeira ia baixando
eu jogava uma moeda e ele saía pulando
obrigado boiadeiro que deus vá lhe acompanhando
pra aquele sertão afora meu berrante ia tocando
nos caminhos desta vida muito espinho eu encontrei
mas nenhum calou mais fundo do que isso que eu passei
na minha viagem de volta qualquer coisa eu cismei
vendo a porteira fechada o menino eu não avistei
apeei do meu cavalo num ranchinho beira-chão
vi uma mulher chorando quis saber qual a razão
boiadeiro veio tarde veja a cruz no estradão
quem matou o meu filhinho foi um boi sem coração
lá pras bandas de ouro fino levando gado selvagem
quando eu passo na porteira até vejo a sua imagem
o seu rangido tão triste mais parece uma mensagem
daquele rosto trigueiro desejando-me boa viagem
a cruzinha do estradão do pensamento não sai
eu já fiz um juramento que não esqueço jamais
nem que o meu gado estoure e que eu precise ir atrás
neste pedaço de chão berrante eu não toco mais
RUUTS
I think this guy should keep a shorter video of the drains
I am first!
