This would have to be one of the biggest and best examples of perseverance, because that was that was by no means straight forward. Oliver truly is, the best in the world.
@@DrainAddict Hope ya had ya weeties that morning lol..... (where the apprentice mouseman when you need him to do all that running back and forth for ya....)
Considering I'm watching this video in my bed room in America watching this I be surprised if Ollie came past me on an escalator.... Of course I don't know what I'd be more worried about... Why there is suddenly an escalator in my room or why Ollie is on it...
I can see it now. You’re up just making yourself a snack in the kitchen. Then you hear the escalator going and a guy wearing orange gloves riding in it swinging his arms with a rat in one pocket and a croc in the other.
I'm a plumber and we charge 400 for a job like this. i'll happily spray sewerage everywhere for that kind of money :). Especially when sometimes it's 400 to put the jet in the front IO and it clears in 10 minutes.
That has to be the toughest terrain yet for a blocked drain. Good job the escalator was working. Zipline would of been more fun getting down lol. Another excellent video. All good !
I lost it when his arms started swinging the first time! I laughed so much! Hope you charged for hazard pay!! And twice had a "not a good time for that to happen" moments. Ollie you are awesome. 👍👏👊
Better Men then most today I knew an Australian engineer that built a buggy to explore the Out back 60? Years ago he was a grate man and an inspiration. Ole is one of the better Men.
OH MY GOSH! All of that running up and down, crawling around on who knows what! Then going through all of the weeds around the tree! I can’t believe you went through all of that and then couldn’t fix it! Bless your heart!!💜
A follow up to this would be wonderful, was the tree removed, did a new pipe get installed just on the surface bypassing the crushed section, who performed the work and did crock eat magpie?
Ollie you deserve double overtime pay for having to navigate your way through the jungle. That was crazy. Don’t those rich homeowners believe in keeping trees and undergrowth maintained? You get an AAA for effort on this job😬😬
What lunatic parceled this land out? "OK, you get a hilltop view, but you only get 10 feet of waterfront, accessible only by a tram that you build and maintain yourself."
We Australians are so amused by how Americans get so paranoid about little things, like Spiders and Snakes - Yeah, Australia has them, but half the adult population has probably never seen a Taipan snake, or could identify a redback (even with the obvious colouring) - you respect them, they respect you, and they all tend to avoid people. - This is from the America that has Several Brands of Bears, Wolves, Coyotes, RattleSnakes, Skunks, New York Rats (who make ratty look like a Mouse), not to Mention the obscene number of personal pets such as Tigers and Lions that have been removed from their natural habitat... Shorts are actually more sensible in critter country - if you are wearing longer pants and feel a bite inside, it is unnecessary time wastage, taking your pants off to find the bite or the offender. And finding a snake that deep in Sydney's suburbia - the closest snakes around there will be at Taronga Park Zoo.
@@pquodling I am glad we can be amusing at times. That’s much better than the laughingstocks we’ve been for four years. While I regularly see coyotes, skunks and garter snakes in my yard, it’s the black widows that scare me. I don’t like spiders. As for Big Cats as pets (and recent ones that have got out), I agree that even one being kept as a pet is obscene, especially given the high percentage that are kept in deplorable conditions. We are trying to pass legislation, but politicians are stubborn and the public ignorant.
Guessing the pipe will be re-routed. Dropping that tree would possibly cost more in that location, few drops zones and nowhere to get a crane in or tree out puts that tree at about 2k+ to remove. Then you need to grind the stump out and to get my small stump machine down there id put 600 min on that job adding to the cost even more. And I'm betting the local council would be less than likely to issue a permit for the tree removal in an area like that.
That was like a survivor episode hanging over the edge and rolling through the bush..and ratty and croc didn't even help make sure you didn't fall. Great video...all good 👍🏻
You are such a badass!! And you are a great example of getting poop done without complaint or limitation. Thanks for the continued inspiration. Dave from the midwestern USA
Wow, you certainly got a workout on this one. Going up and down the steps, climbing the hillside... you're the man! I hope you get paid at least double time for this one. Plus hazard pay.
Ollie your drain clog videos are so unbelievable because the situations and scenery that you are involved in are just amazing. But no matter what you do get the jo done and that's what matters to your clients. A job well done.
I didn’t realised to be a plumber in Australia you also needed to be a rock climber, mountaineer, gardener just to name a few extra skills. On another front how do they build these houses?
With buckets of bulk money mostly. When I see hollywood names spend 10 million on a house, I laugh. Some of those places in Sydney command prices that look like the National budget.
I hope those who will benefit from DA’s expert diagnosis of the crushed drain pipe appreciate his efforts in hauling equipment around a mountain side jungle. No job is too big for DA. I was rather hoping to see a Sydney snake somewhere in that dense brush. Oh, well. Best channel on TH-cam! Cheers from Florida.
With Sydney real estate prices - that looks like Mosman - harbour views and a boat house (even accessible by escalator) will set you back $6-8M easily.
@@pquodling Yeah. I figured the lake and the boathouse must have made it worth it. Pretty cool really. And they can fit pools on those types of properties too. Mad.
If it wasn't for the escalator, you'd be exhausted after your 2nd trip up the hill. Holy bleepers that was a long ways down there. Hoping your shower felt refreshing, after all the monkey work. Monkey work: climbing up and down small cliffs before you find a set of steps.. lol!!! Have a wonderful week!!!
When half the Continent is inhospitable Outback, it's no wonder Aussies build houses everywhere they can in the livable areas even on hillsides like this. Beautiful property and view, but it looks to be a nightmare to maintain though. This job took more effort just getting to and from the work area (multiple times) than it did doing the actual work. Thanks for taking us on this adventure with you Ollie.
My god. I hope the property owner appreciated the work and the patience Ollie had with this job. This ain’t no ordinary plumbing job and a job where so many things went against Ollie. And I hope the owner was more than considerate with his bill payment. I would have charged like a wounded bull. So many others would not have taken on the job. Well done Ollie. Glad Croc and Rattie were with you.
Every home needs an escalator as well as a type of swing that broke when you were wearing the rat mask . That swing video still makes me laugh when I think about it sending you skidding.
**whispers to Ratty** Listen, I don't want to cast any aspersions... But twice now, I've caught Crocky looking at you kinda strangely, while licking his lips! If I were you, I wouldn't turn my back on him!!!
Dang Ollie... you took us on the full jungle safari expedition on this one!! sheesh.. You sure earned your money on this job. Glad you didn't get hurt or encounter any nasties lurking in the undergrowth there
Blocked Drain in Jurassic Park, Ollie's a Legend
I was going to say "Welcome to Jurassic Park" 😋
Wipes, grease,, tree roots, and lookit that, a lawyer...
We know one thing- that's gonna be a well-fertilised green space.
Pipes full of jurassic sludge💩. Lol.
Pipes full of jurassic sludge💩. Lol.

The only way Ollie could have been more badass is if he'd skateboarded down that rail. :D
Holy shit, respect man what a job 🙏🙏 well done, best I have to deal with is bloody face wipes I bow to you god of the impossible 👏👏👏👏👏
I like big job
Arms swinging even when on the escalator,nice
I was just thinking that, nice touch Ollie
All these oranges! 🍊
This running reminds me of an old PC game. I've already tried to research it, but unfortunately it didn't work.
I know, I loved it. Like a robot
Imagine minding your own business, and Ollie comes past on an escalator.
lol
Ha ha! That made me laugh out loud David Ashmore! Be very funny and surreal at the same time!
Be one of the best moments in my life. Certainly top 10
Considering I'm watching this video in my bed room in America watching this I be surprised if Ollie came past me on an escalator.... Of course I don't know what I'd be more worried about... Why there is suddenly an escalator in my room or why Ollie is on it...

That's was like Ollie and the raiders of the lost drain, epic.
I was gonna reply with something along the lines of that. Nice one lol.
Where is your camera man?
i wish i had enough property to even think about an escalator lol
Can’t believe he’s not sponsored by Honda yet every time first started up ??
Gotta love those reliable Honda engines.
Unironically the best power washer brand
Honda, starts first time, everytime
i agree-very dependable motor and it even has Ratty's approval I mean " come on man!"
I’ve said it before, on this channel, and I’ll say it again. Ollie, whatever they’re paying you, it’s not enough!!! 😂😂
It isnt even enough to feed ratty and his buddies 😥
I think it´s 400 per job.
300
I'm a plumber and we charge 400 for a job like this. i'll happily spray sewerage everywhere for that kind of money :). Especially when sometimes it's 400 to put the jet in the front IO and it clears in 10 minutes.
yeah but he getting money from TH-cam to he haves almost half million of subs so I'm sure he getting pretty good money just saying
That escalator thing is some straight up Resident Evil type sh*t.
That has to be the toughest terrain yet for a blocked drain. Good job the escalator was working. Zipline would of been more fun getting down lol. Another excellent video. All good !
Imagine living in Switzerland where it's mountains AND it freezes in the winter 😅
I lost it when his arms started swinging the first time! I laughed so much! Hope you charged for hazard pay!! And twice had a "not a good time for that to happen" moments. Ollie you are awesome. 👍👏👊
Same!!
Sometimes I just feel so bad for this guy. Yet his determination is inspiring.
I wish I could give 10 likes to each of his videos... maybe 100, maybe 1000. He is incredible at every level.
I often scratch my head as to how the hell the original plumbing was run in those places. A special breed of crazy to be on those steep slopes.
Better Men then most today I knew an Australian engineer that built a buggy to explore the Out back 60? Years ago he was a grate man and an inspiration. Ole is one of the better Men.
Easier to start off from the blank slate
First rule in plumbing, shit runs down hill.
OH MY GOSH! All of that running up and down, crawling around on who knows what! Then going through all of the weeds around the tree! I can’t believe you went through all of that and then couldn’t fix it! Bless your heart!!💜
Hey Ollie, thank you for the extra effort you put forth towards making this video. That was a lot of work!
You know it’s gonna be a good day when Drain Addict uploads.
Those famous words.
Its under a bit of pressure - ✅
This ones going to get messy - ✅
That looked a bloody tough one.
Good Job 👍
The arms on the escalator. Ahaha Such a character.
A follow up to this would be wonderful, was the tree removed, did a new pipe get installed just on the surface bypassing the crushed section, who performed the work and did crock eat magpie?
You are on a whole other level Ollie! Appreciate & always look forward to watching your plumbing adventures.👍🏼
Wow. That was an intense job! Impressive. I love how you never give up until you figure out the ROOT cause!
I've watched every single video...many several times. I believe I'm correct in saying, that this was the longest journey to date to the blocked drain.
I need a vacation after watching this video. Ollie, you the MAN!
What an adventure!!
Ollie you deserve double overtime pay for having to navigate your way through the jungle. That was crazy. Don’t those rich homeowners believe in keeping trees and undergrowth maintained? You get an AAA for effort on this job😬😬
I'm 100 % sure there is an "Escalator Addict" who has to come out to this property every couple moons.
I wish
Not exactly a wheelchair friendly neighborhood. I was also half expecting some kind of poisonous snake or spider to make an appearance.
That would be scary, Sydney home to the Sydney Funnel Web Spider. Most venomous spider in Australia and second most in the world.
What lunatic parceled this land out? "OK, you get a hilltop view, but you only get 10 feet of waterfront, accessible only by a tram that you build and maintain yourself."
His water container in the van is “Protected by Jesus”! lol
I'm pretty sure it's not very high on Jesus's list of things to protect.
Jesus is a Rottweiler 🤣
Cool
Holy water ain't it lol
I noticed that change also ...
Imagine blowing everybody's minds by running the utilities underneath the escalator!
Atleast the section that was crushed can be run above ground.
Who else was thinking about trap door spiders and snakes when he was kicking around the tree in… in shorts of course.
I was doing the same thing -SPIDERS AND SNAKES. OMG! -GIANT ANTS!!
just spiders in general lol

Awesome video. You certainly went above and beyond this day Ollie. Love your videos.
I'd like to see the video on rerouting that line or dropping that monster tree . I got tired watching Ollie work
Guessing the pipe will be re-routed.
Dropping that tree would possibly cost more in that location, few drops zones and nowhere to get a crane in or tree out puts that tree at about 2k+ to remove.
Then you need to grind the stump out and to get my small stump machine down there id put 600 min on that job adding to the cost even more.
And I'm betting the local council would be less than likely to issue a permit for the tree removal in an area like that.
You should think about filming a musical… Grease featuring Queen with „under pressure“ and jesus christ waterstar.
Wasnt there a musical or series in the 70s with that catchy song..."FOAM, I'm gonna live forever!"?
That was like a survivor episode hanging over the edge and rolling through the bush..and ratty and croc didn't even help make sure you didn't fall. Great video...all good 👍🏻
What an insane site to work. Ollie, you are the man!
You gotta charge triple for that because that's like "Jungle Jim".
41 minutes, time to crack open a Sunday night brewski
I could watch you walk up the escalator all day everyday. Hilarious!
Ollie I think you are one dedicated man. You might need a new superman cape after today. That was one hell of a job. Cheers
Did the customer Pay extra for hardcore conditions? That escalator looked like from Resident Evil game.
After I showed up at that place, I'd look the owner in the eye and say, "My rate just tripled, mate. Take it or leave it."
His website says $300 fixed price for blocked drains. 🤯🤯🤯 If it's truly fixed, this is insane.
My first thought was Riven, the sequel to Myst. Imagine having that thing next to your house! I would do nothing else 😍
Not only did I get Resident Evil vibes but I expect him to find some ammo right at the start of that escalator.
I'm watching the end, and it seems with every video, this guy descends further and further into madness...
Love your channel, it’s just so much fun with Ratty and his corn! Keep up the amazing work we love you!
You are such a badass!! And you are a great example of getting poop done without complaint or limitation. Thanks for the continued inspiration. Dave from the midwestern USA
That tree has probably been feeding nutrients off that pipe for years. Little wonder it's so big.
That was a bit of a nightmare.
Wow, you certainly got a workout on this one. Going up and down the steps, climbing the hillside... you're the man! I hope you get paid at least double time for this one. Plus hazard pay.
Ollie and the team, you are champions, I envy your tenacity and endurance, allllll goooood
Love from Carlisle, northern England x
Start of the video: "Nice, there is an elevator. This one will be easy..."
End: "Man, how wrong I was..."
Wow that was a tough bad one. Love your Jesus sticker Ollie! Have a blessed day ✝

OMFG, "Sandra from Tassie" showed me the pics of the mono rail but the video is even better. Your a frigin legend. 😍🚽
I've been following you for quite some time, Ollie and I have to say: I do believe this is the worst one yet! You're legend, mate!
Well, this escalated quickly...
Lol good one
It looks like you’re having fun making these videos well we enjoy them so keep them coming!!! Great job as usual!!!

Ollie gets mentioned by all the other drain jetters, Rods away, Penatraiter, Drain unblockers, & Sewer man.
Heck we only watch Ollie!
And so does Rattie.
Do a video of cleaning your van I'll love to see that video
The jetters edge just cleaned the inside of his van in the latest episode. Ollie declined for them to rinse the outside lol
Ollie I bought one of your hoodies and shirts thank you for making new merch. All good👍
Epic !!! You deserve a beer or two after this one Ollie
That was a dangerous job, especially the hole cutting and temporary repair
No one but DA gets jobs in such fabulous locations. Wow, just wow.
Wow dude beautiful property. You are so lucky to get the chance to work on such a nice place.
How splendid. 👊😀
Good Sunday evening to you sir and your family from Wellington Somerset in the UK
Ollie, this is when an apprentice is worth their weight in rat poo.
lol very true!
Holy Hell!🤨 Hope you charge by the hour, or by the mile, maybe even better.😀
that into... strait flashback to Half Live, was just waiting for the announcement how to behave in the train :D
Thanks for reminding me again that I'd NEVER have the patience to deal with these issues. :)
I love how Australians will just build houses anywhere. On the side of a steep hill? No problem. Could have done with a machete on this job.

You'd think they would trim the bushes back more to get to that escalator easier.
Muito legal, começou como num carro de mina do jogo Minecraft kkkkk. Bons trabalhos Rat!
It is wonderful attraction to do your work.
A special episode.
This has to be the worst access area Ive ever seen you get into
Looked like a ride at Disneyworld, plenty of vegetation.
“Gotta be an easier way to get down” walks past a lift that goes to the exact spot 😂😂
What a freakin workout today ! I could have done that thirty yrs ago, now forget it lol!
