If you're an addict to blocked drains, clearing chokes, tree roots, high pressure water jetting, cctv and watching an Aussie Bloke do his thing you will enjoy this channel
The single barrel reverse nozzle is a diabolical beast of a sword and a root slayer.
Even the clumps of frightened roots cut free need to cling to the nozzle as they ultimately exit to daylight and get tossed to the curb like parasitic trash, and into their slow death coffin bin of demise.
The Penetrator rules again, packs up, and we know, and He knows, that his work is never done.
We are all fortunate to witness The Penetrator bring justice to these root evil-doers.
Haha love it!
WAS a working man good to see some skills .............
Goodness, that was an epic root removal episode. I love it when the storm drain regurgitates the roots. Lovely garden too.
I just started watching you a couple of weeks ago. Now I’m hooked. It is interesting to watch you clean out the drains, especially the ones with roots. Your theme song is so catchy and just right. Was able to find the whole album. My favorite is your theme song Trip to Roma. Keep up the good videos!
Thank you 😊
33:25 that wad of roots shot out like a cat barfing out a hairball 🙂🙂🙂 satisfying
Good analogy 😅
Hope all is GOOD
Eyyy love the 1440p60👍🏻🤟🏻
I bet when they erected the fence they drove that post into the pipe and caused the issue
Hi from USA 🇺🇸. I just love when the roots come flying out. I so enjoy watching your videos. Thanks for your time doing them.
Thank you 😊
I enjoy the bit of video of when you are driving about; another day working it and making customers happy!!
Australian worms must be drug addicts that one was tripping out real bad....ours (UK) in comparison are all cannabis smokers - the only time they wiggle is snack time (eating or on the end of a fish hook) 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Damn that worm feisty as hell. They don’t move like that in the UK
Great job as always! A thorough job as always. Your persistence against those pesky roots paid off. Love watching you work your magic. Stay safe and be well.
Thank you 😊👍
Do you have regular customers who have you preform annual preventative maintenence on their storm water system?
I’ve set up a notification thing these days. I use to just leave it up to customer.
With some blocked drains it’s a good idea if the problem hasn’t been fixed
@@penetratorblockeddrains Thank you
41:33 There you can clearly see WHERE THE ROOTS ENTER, BECAUSE OF THE ERROR IN THE UNION of the pipe, now they understand what the problem is ⁉️
Good morning everyone
Hey Gavin,I appreciate your work ethic and perseverance.It is nice to see someone take pride in there work.I enjoy your videos,keep up the great work.Gregg.
Thank you 😊👍
First hehehe
Is it usually better to start from the street end and why?
I've often wondered that too.
@@robsmith6281 ... the street end is down hill and easier to clean up afterward. (remember, shit flows down hill)
Most storm water drain cleans are from the street end as it’s easier to get to the entry point.
If there is a break in the pipe with tree root entry they grow up towards the house as that is the way the water flows down the pipe.
With sewer where I live. I find your going down the pipe to the blockage more often due to access.
@@penetratorblockeddrains Thanks. I appreciate you taking the time to satisfy my curiosity. You are a hard working son-of-a-gun!!!
I mean that a compliment, by the way.
He had half of Sherwood Forest up there.😳
Thanks for the Tuesday vid.
Hi Gavin. I hope you realise that there is a hidden camera attached to your truck and when it sees you go to turn your jetter on, it has an automatic dial feature to your phone. Cheeky - yes, but also good for business. Ha. Sue from Adelaide.👍
That worm is called a "red wiggler"!............For obvious reasons!
been a great video Penetrator, though you going to pull the trees down
Thank goodness for Toad - he had to be on top of this one. This was a tough job.
Thank you 😊👍🐸
Great one to watch today. I am stoked you yelled yeah at the same time I did. I reckon we all did lol. My husband still cannot figure out what the big deal is. Thanks guys this was fun!
Thank you 😊👍
Wow I think you need an electric mechanical snake Auger to remove such blockage..
Did you see how squashed that pipe was?
It’s also 90mm pvc and that’s a soft pipe.
I feel I would be asking for trouble if I ran a snake up there.
This is just my opinion mate.
Hey Gavin I love the way you video your commute to the work site beautiful scenery great work 😊
NGL was hoping you would do a pipe repair cause those are so satisfying when you pull out the old pipe and replace it.
Hi, that was a heck of a job. Those roots were fighting you the whole time, best regards.
Thank you 😊👍
never ceases to amaze or impress 😊
Love the intro. 🙂🙂
Thank you 😊👍
i like how you say i reckon that's where the roots are coming from.....there's a massive hole at the bottom where the pipes are disconnected entirely lol
Haha 😂 just stating the obvious
Why is there roots in there. Should not the storm water pipe be designed withstand the roots' invasion? If not why has someone not reinvented new pipe to keep the root out of the pipe.
That pile of debris @ 37:41 ...... ya ever think to bring it home and FERMENT it ??? Voila !! ROOT BEER !!!! HAHAHA
At 1.5m on the second to last view, it looked like on the right was another line full of roots
That branch line had just loose roots in it. I blasted them
@@penetratorblockeddrains OK wasn't sure had to ask lol
👍👍👍&👍🇺🇲
Call the penatrator he'll get the job done.good job . Great videos 👍
Thank you 😊👍
Why not use a bigger hose more supply more pressure
at almost 5,000 psi and near 5 gallons per minute that's usually enough. BTW, that's 100 times the the normal street pressure and almost 3 times the street flow.
Have you lost toad??? Toad needs some attention.
Still here 🐸
Forgive me for not knowing your real name......I've been watching your video's for the last few weeks, I often binge watch a few of them...... in the recommended list I often just click on the video which has the same subject matter thinking they're all yours, but I clicked on one the other day and it took me to another person clearing a storm water, I didn't pay any attention to the name of this channel, but like yourself he laid down an item I'm guessing he pulled out of drainage that he unclogged, it was a plastic rat, he called it Ratty.....I'm just wondering, is this a common thing in your community to give air time to things you've pulled out of storm water pipes.....It's all new to me watching these type of video's about blocked pipes in Australia, but it's just a little thing I've noticed more than one person does........
This guy is Gavin, and the other guy is Ollie. They are on opposite sides of Australia. I believe Ollie was the first to use the toy mascots. I have seen several other drain guys, but I don't recall anyone else using rubber toys. The other popular drain guys are in Pakistan, NYC, and England. Sometimes I catch them making jokes or giving tribute to each other. It's a small world!
@@rupe53 Thanks for that, I thought the other guy would have been first on YT seeing a he had more followers in this 'small world'.....It took me after 2 video's to notice the toad was plastic, I thought what a good toad for sitting on that cone the whole video....Duh me.....Thanks again, I'm however not looking to watch others, 2 is enough....Gavin and Post 10 are enough drain/covert unblocking peeps
@@MyCracker1234 ... I believe the other guy (Ollie) was first, with over 500k subs. Gavin has like 15k subs. They each have their own style.... and so does Post 10. Post also likes to explore beyond clogged drains.
Sept.23 .England. seen a few of your vids. Beautiful properties. Negative thoughts. More money than sense. Positive. Its putting food on your plate. Polite enquiry did you have to do an apprenticeship and has technology moved on. Do you think drain design or garden design will change.
Being from W.A I love my beach camping but the wind can be made as you know, I've been eyeing off these but wasn't sure if the #tiegear are worth it. Would love the chance to test them out. 🤞🤞
I guess this is sort of the same thing as people planting oak trees near house/pavement. WHY do people think that palm trees are a great idea near pipes? Bamboo is probably just as bad. Lots of teeny tiny roots that like being in clumpy mats. (It's not even really good wood for anything other than wood turning) For those who don't know, oak trees suck the water out of the ground, and lift concrete because their roots like to be too close to the surface.
I do things once, but always over the called for spects .........................
The never ending story ...........................................................
Anyone else just a wee bit scared of the ROOT monster growling in that pipe? Goodness those roots are angry!
I think Jetter heads is too big to past that little squash pipe to get to the upper roots .maybe try the rear facing jetter the one that reminds me of a golf club in lol. Never mind you did. Guess that's what I get for not watching the whole video first
Are there markings on the green hose to show far in it is? Also, as a Canadian I find the left side driving just as interesting as the storm drain, which we also don’t have where I live. Rainwater just goes down the downpipe and out onto the grass.
The roots do not form out of nowhere, the roots enter through the union of the PVC pipes because they are WRONGLY INSTALLED, this "repair" IS NOT THE DEFINITIVE SOLUTION, it is only temporary until the roots of any nearby vegetable re-enter to the pipe.
HOW NOBODY SEES THE REAL PROBLEM‼️😡
Everyone knows that’s the real problem, but the customer doesn’t want to pay for a full repair. They want it cleared and hope it will last them a few more years.
if you watched the first video (2 weeks ago?) the customer was advised to dig up and reroute the system because there's another issue in the side yard. This will get him by till the work gets done.
Can’t find and locate the problem area with out trying to clear what you can first.
Investigations I like to call blocked drains.
No cros here lol
Another good video. 👍🏼 loved where the first bundle of roots popped out. Good job..
Thank you 😊👍
@ 31:35 -- "YEEEAAH !!! th-cam.com/video/ED0LIYLFdLI/w-d-xo.html
Do you ever do any of the clean outs pro-bono just for the utube video? ❤🙏♥️🤠
You can tell its not a Saturday.......you've got shoes on😅
Good job man.
Thank you 😊👍
Some things you just have to do to understand ...................
I was hoping too see a real toad l like it whether jump out
Haven't watched them all yet but close .........................
Well done sir 😎
Thank you 😊👍
Spend money now to save later you just don't no cause no problems
4 of my friends have joined so far ...........................
Why not better pipe ?......................................cost ?
GAVIN,hello, crap that one fought you bayou WON,OVER ROOTS HAVE A GREAT DAY, CHERIO,🇦🇺🇦🇺🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thank you 😊👍
For an old guy I'm starting to learn how this is done. You blow the dirt from the roots then hydrojet the roots. Not a bad job if you can just do storm drains. But, I'm betting your real money is in fat clogged drains or butt wipes. That single barrel and double barrel jetter acts like it is eager to sound like a buzzsaw through those roots.
How ya doing today seam little dif ....................
Toad looks hungry sitting on the curb
Love those hairy Palm roots 🤣🤣🤣🌅🌎🇺🇸
Looks as if there has already been some damage repaired.
Your videos are not made very good. You don’t show u using the camera nor what was coming out. I think I will be watching the other AUSSA more interesting videos you just stand there and shoot water up the pipe
Great feedback. You do what you need to and I will do the same 😉
It would be great to know the customer's drain history, like when was the last time they had it jetted..
This looks like it wasn't done in a long while, if ever...
Yeah it’s been blocked for a while
Not his or her fault slow day.....................
Great job
Thank you 😊👍
It's time for some new nozzles my friend.
That worm was super small compared to here
Great vid as usual. So satisfying seeing those roots come out… nearly as good as a sewer unblock 💩 😂
Thank you 😊👍
Easy for me live on a lake ...........
Have you ever had job were you couldn't get the roots out has had to dig up the pipe to remove the roots
Yeah it happens. Also your equipment gets stuck is another reason to start digging
How come you don’t have that DC whatever to use to cut out these tree roots. Like the one Drain Addict has he has two sizes of them too
Because they are quite expensive. I will probably get one in the future 👍
Stop time to fish ....................
I wish you'd listen when I'm screaming at the TV!
Why are you screaming 😱 lol
Love their back garden
AND NOT EVEN WET ................LOL
Roots look like wire ..............
Can you pls do a video on how you started working on cleaning drain
I can think about it and see. But I just enjoy doing them and it’s became my favourite job to do.
1440p60? That's amazing. Thanks for the high quality. It makes a difference
Looks like another repeat customer! Every 18-24 months he'll need that pipe jetted...
Tough job, as you say, narrow pipe makes it more difficult.
Thanks for sharing
Do any of the nozzles get sharpened like a knife to cut roots? Seems like a nozzle with a sharp or serrated edge would be the ultimate root cutter. The blade could be oriented to not damage to pipe but still cut aggressively while spinning.
"Roots Galore !" Congratulations ! I really enjoyed your success on that one.
[QUESTION] Hello Gavin, I am curious to know how the root cutting nozzle works: does that nozzle have a small water-out-orifice whereby very highly pressurised water works like a cutting knife on roots, at the same time not powerful enough to cut the pipe, just the roots? Or is it your "magical green-snake wrist curling/twirling/pushing/pulling" technique that cuts the roots? Or both working together?
Thank you very much. Cheers, Diego.
these high pressure jetters have about 4-5000 psi with 4-5 gallons per minute flow. That's enough to cut through any organic matter. It generally won't harm the pipe because it's a glancing blow, not a direct aim. OTOH, once the roots are soaked, they float around so get hit by the water stream and are broken up.
@@rupe53 Thank you very much for the explanation !
@@diegovd7215 The reason that nozzle is being called “root-cutter” is that it only has one hole (out the back), propelling it forward and blasting anything behind it. The other nozzles (aside from the double barrel) have one stream out the front, to dig forward through tough muddy clumps), and three streams out the back to push it forward (and blast backwards, but at 1/4th of the pressure). His technique helps aim the backwards stream, turning it around to make sure the jet is focused on all roots at their points in the twist. It also just kills time and makes it seem like he’s working hard, when really it’s more about the time the water needs to cut through it.
Common mate I work hard 😂
@@penetratorblockeddrains Yeah, you do work hard. Without the water, however, the efforts you put forth on hose position would accomplish next to nothing. I’m not knocking you, or your work, I’m simply pointing out that the water enables your efforts to affect a change. I know you work hard, which is why I was shocked the other day when you left rocky chunks in a customer’s pipe. You’d usually not only fix the issue, but clean it out while you’re in there.
Ranting aside, thank you for not only providing an invaluable service locally, but also entertaining globally. Have a great week :)
Ohh sorry I see Mr frog ❤️❤️❤️
Wow that was a lot of work. Lots of roots. Another place that would do good by a foaming root treatment every few months
Nice to see an actual subscriber home getting squared away
I enjoy those jobs
I thought you were never gonna get that done. o that ore me out just watching.
It was a battle
Where are your buddies ❤❤❤
Bet your arms are hurting after this clogged up with roots of a drain Gavin. Epic amount of roots from that mini jungle!
Hell I was pooped out watching this one!
ROOTS!!! Love it!!!! Thank You for an awesome job!!!
I'm just smitten with this Australian kitten😘! Great job!
Fire started lol
What’s happened to the music at the beging
Gone trough the toilet 😅 😂
It taking to ya
