Ollie doesn't practice proper manual handling anyways, if he bent with his knees instead of his back it would be the same as not bending. Even at 22:24 when he is bending over to wash out the drain a bit, you can clearly see he is bending his back. Old habbits die hard, and this one could end his career.
I think he should get a mini reel made up. 90% of his vids only use about 5-10 meters of hose and a couple of heads. He's lugging a load of dead weight around for no reason .
Hope your back gets better Ollie. It’s not fun in any walk of life but for your profession it’s important you are fit healthy and well. Thanks for always giving us entertaining content!
I've been a plumber for 30 years,I know that sound well,"oh my back". There is never any plumbing at a good height to work on. Hope you get better soon.
There is no point neatening a work environment like a tradesman's van. Its counterproductive to put thing away so they are not on hand. It looks messy however the tradesman knows where everthing is located. The tools that are most used are on top.
This brings back memories of the Rubik's cube you nearly solved while bringing it up the pipe. 🤣 All good! I'm sorry you're still having back problems Ollie.

@@jeffreysouthflorida7008 well, then you should remember how Ollie went to MRI during that job, because of low back pain. He would probably need a 2-3 month rest to heal all the damage to his L4 and L5. So, yeah, he did say "Ow, my back"... =(
Mum: What are you watching there son? Son: I want to meet Ratty and Ollie, do we have blocked drains? Mum: Never. Son: Can we have corn for dinner tonight? Lots of it please, got this craving 😆
Definitely. Fractured L1-5, and been crook as they say in Australia ever since. And for the last twelve years now on strong opioids. 🤷🏻♂️💊 Potential fusing it, however that would severely limit mobility. So. Look after your back everyone! 😜

I can't stand having to remember them everywhere I go. And people look at you funny because you take them. Or say that you're cranky all the time because you're "addicted to them.".
@@eleventeenmachine5991 I just got one put in last week, top of the line by Boston Scientific put at T5 has 32 contacts to kill the pain. I got a fracture on L2 caused by an Ambulance Accident in 1975 in NYC when I was an EMT-IV for EMS, I was 21, now my L3-L5 spinal cord compression bad. so far pain level went from 9.5 to a 6 with the spinal stimulator, it will drop down more it heals. I was on 230mg MS Contin a day for 5 years plus 180 - 10mg Norco/month. took 4 years to get off the MS Contin and down to 90 - 7.5mg Norco.
I live in Scotland. We had a drain blockage recently and I baffled the plumber by asking if our boundary trap was okay which completely baffled. Told him about your site and now he's hooked!

@Evan Cottle - well, technically they ARE flushable. The problem is that they snag on roots and other obstructions... so I guess they can justify their stance if you have decent plumbing.
Brian Sullivan It's all in the language, they most certainly are flushable, but so is a motorbike if the sewer is big enough, they are just not degradable the way ordinary toilet tissue is.
John Coops The municipal utilities would (strongly) disagree, since the wipes get caught in the equipment at sewage treatment plants, causing them massive headaches, plus they dramatically exacerbate the problem of fatbergs. (If this term doesn’t ring a bell, you’re in for a treat.) So just because they can successfully make it out of your drains into the sewers doesn’t mean the problem is over.
John Coops because _you_ were defending labeling them as “flushable”, when they’re not by any sensible definition. Utilities have been trying for years to get them banned or relabeled, but they can’t do anything against the deep lobbying pockets of the butt wipe industry. It’s not for lack of trying... meanwhile, the taxpayer is left footing the bill for all the remediation costs.
Let's face it, plumbing is a really hard and messy job! But sooooo necessary! I was glad to see you had modern equipment like the camera's and other paraphernalia. So sorry to hear your back is giving you trouble. I guess that happens a lot when you do hard work as you do. Sure hope you can get yourself fixed up or find a way to get an assistant. Sure know your stuff!
Hey Ollie! I have the same problem in my neck and lower back. I get an injection in both my neck and lower back about every 6-8 months, and I feel a lot better. Hope you can do something to feel better. I like the way the Drain Unblocking guys find corn for Rattie. Take care of yourself!
I just find it very satisfying when the clog goes down, I don't know if its only me, but Oliver definitely knows how to solve a problem, great job as always!
Ollie, please take care of your back. We love your channel and don't want you to leave us with this addiction problem unsolved. You get us through the day with a drain fix.
This one had it all - Drama - blocked drain Horror - the mushroom turd effect Comedy - the inquisitive Ratty getting his corn Suspense - pulling out the stuck plumbing tool Sex - pulling out the plumber's tool from his pants Injury - Ollie's lower back cramping up Victory - All good
Ollie goes eelphishing is something completely differentthan what most people would think 🤣😂🤪 Im no plumber but getting that eel out looked like an exceptional efford. And I love the drunk R2D2 😂😁 The only thing missing is a new gasstrut for your monitor. Hope your back gets better.
1:20 - this is the moment you get the home owner, sit them down and say “ok, now I don’t care what you do with your toilet, you’re paying me... but, some things don’t go down the toilet. Go grab me a bin and put some gloves on” 😉
Very well. Work although you could remove the metal that was inside the tube. But later you have to break the concrete to verify where you made the marks that there is no other option and you can replace the broken pipe. Good work, friend.
Must say the pressure release is always satisfying however it certainly was not the colored we expected. Bravo Ollie. Well done. Take care of your back.

The sound of the Honda...the swinging orange gloves...a gusher...wipes...and Ratty. A piece of heaven in this chaotic world.
Oooo Look at mr fancy pants with his new blue hose. :)
I noticed that a few episodes back. But that orange spool thing looks new. He didn't explain what that was about.

No one should wear fancy pants on a job like this...
It never dissapoints when there's a little pressure.
Especially with the owner’s face near the action. Knowing that a part of this mess came from his or her back side.
Priceless 😁

I like the van. Nice and tidy, well organized, everything in its place, and sparkling clean.
😆!!!
Well-organized mess.
He knows where Everything is!
That was very impressive fishing that metal rod out with the magnets. Nice work Ollie.
You know 1..2...3 won't work when there is 22 minutes left in the video.
I've heard Ollie get all the way to 6 once.
Jason Barnes you know it’s bad when he starts using fractions!!!
@@bearpump No fractions. It confuses Ratty.
Would you believe 4? How about 86? 99?
Few wipes...
Understatement of the year
Ollie, save your back, hire an assistant with your TH-cam Money. It’s not worth the pain. Sending prayers you feel better.

Yep, you gotta learn to use your legs or you're toast after a while.
"would you believe 4 ?"
nope, were to long on this channel for that
😆🤣 "A bit of pressure" lol👌 Love the magnet solution because I learned a new way to solve a problem 🌟🌟🌟🌟
Ollie, I would honestly come to Australia just to have your van for a day and organise everything, my OCD would be complete 🤩
Was thinking the same, but as most great work men they KNOW where everything is even when it looks like a disaster area...
My hubby’s work truck looks the same way I offered to clean it up , he said it was clean !
Then he wouldn't be able to find anything! ;)

If it doesn't bother him, then it shouldn't bother us. The outside of his van ALWAYS looks smashingly clean.
You feeling okay mate? You sound like you are in a fair amount of pain.
All good
All good mate
Hard ass job
He does have messed up back. One video he had MRI
Had sweet corn for dinner with my daughters and all we could think about is you and ratty... best channel ever...
Need to take care of that back of yours buddy!
That's what I call patience and love for what he does, because Oliver did his job and finished somebody else's job. All goooood👍👍
待ってました❗てきぱきに、仕事されてるのを見ると 尊敬します🙆

That’s ridiculously clever and awesome! You could use the kookaburra for texts too!
Thank you @@englishruraldoggynerd Good idea the kookaburra !!!!! Awesome :-)
Working hard as always, look after your back Ollie, otherwise who else is going to feed ratty?

you have been workin' hard this week,
What an episode, rat feeding, magnet fishing and a gully grab all in one, mate
Ollie: A little pressure
Ratty: proceeds to stand right next to said pressured pipe.
Not the smartest rat I've seen.
@Jason Barnes- I agree, but try and find a rat that’s polite, and speaks as well as Ratty! 😆🐀🌽
Ratty first on the job again 😆. Brilliant video as always ollie 👏 👍 👌
"A few wipes" and "A bit messy". That's an understatement. Glad you were able to recover some corn for Ratty to eat Ollie.
Please take care of yourself Ollie! It's way more important than anything else! We'll always support you no matter what
Well placed Makita. Missed all the Fountain. Your a Wizard with the camera and magnets!!
Another MAGnificent job from Ollie. All good !
That initial gush looked like a biscuit factory blew up! The Blue Hose adds a nice touch of color ....😎😎
Your job is strangely addictive to watch make sure ratty gets some corn
Another great video, loved the camera down the pipe
Hope your back gets to feeling better.
