- This manhole overflowing with sewage, it is clear that this has been blocked for a long time. We use a mixture of rods, high pressured jetting and water buckets to clear the stubborn block and record the full clean up operation. Enjoy!

I can't believe the homeowner left all that stuff right there, the hosepipe is one thing but the kid's bike, surely he knew it's going to be a messy one. Kudos on the thorough clean up :)
Ohhh I can he dont sound good
Who would ever have thought watching drains being unblocked would be such addictive viewing?
Would it really have killed the tenant to have moved the kids bike and paddling pool out of the way knowing that workman was calling to clean his drain, some folks are just lazy and disrespectful!
Some people just don’t think.
Entitled jerks.
I really appreciate that you pour disinfectant everywhere the drainage touches!!!
But then if u watch when he jet washes inside the drain he sprays shit everywhere
Lifesaver!!! We couldn’t afford a plumber and I was pankicking seeing sewage coming up out of our drains; thanks to you it’s not dealt with DIY- style (also loose concrete found causing the blockage). It’s no exaggeration to say I am in tears with relief! You have really helped someone today, thank you😄
Never say 'That's easy' or 'that was easy' before you finish the job, you'll jinx it! 😅 good job Jem!!😘
Thank you!
Your so right 👍
My cat just pooped in the litter tray and now I have discovered smellyvision. Great to see a good job well done.
Jem, again giving the customers 110% and more! Always a pleasure to see this Legend in action!!! 👀🏳️🌈
🏳️🌈🤢
Interesting work
Why, with that manhole overflowing does the householder not move the kids bikes, paddling pool and hosepipe? 🙄🙄
I dont know stupid people that dont appreaciate his service
My exact thoughts myself.
Can't believe he didn't move his kid's bike etc and also his car. Then saying he's got to go out putting pressure on to do the job quickly. Would possibly had a better clean up if he had. Take it those style concrete covers could also crack if seated unevenly.
@@chriseccles1454 I guess we are here to show how much we respect Jetter 1, 2 & 3 - instead of some clients who obviously take too much for granted.
Great job mate...always sanitize your work area good practice.stay safe
Great job and love how you clean with disinfectant! Can't use enough imho 😂👍🏼👍🏼
Cool thanks 👍👍
You can not beat a good bit of disenfectant. Good job👍👍👍
hello from japan!
we are tumarinuki ouji "unblocking prince"
we use jet and pipe cleaner as you do!
great job! what is that rod? it looks useful.
i don't see that.
see you on next youtube!
We have subscribed to your channel thanks for the comment!
@@TheDrainUnblockers really!? thanks!
we've subscribed too!!
we will post more video nearly daily pace so please check it out.
we wil watch yours too!
A suggestion, mate: Sweep in first, then get your disinfectant going. Your solution will be much more useful that way. Also best to dilute and give it residence time instead of washing it down. The dilution to recommended concentration means you can get a larger area.
Wonderful job Jem, beautiful clean-up as somethings should have been done long before you arrived.
It's nice to see how thorough you are with cleanup and disinfecting. I watch a few different drain cleaning TH-cam channels and none clean as you do.
Thanks for watching!
Totally agree... it doesn’t cost much for some disinfectant and a bit of elbow grease re brush clean down... jus sayin
That is disinfectant they pour into drains? I thought i was some kind of "pipe unblocker"
@@danethorson u should know this
Good drain un-blockers are a Godsend. Wonderful job!
I curled one out last week and it actually block the pipe work! My partner has to fetch a stick from the garden so I could break it up! What a nightmare that was! Have produced one that size in a longtime!
Thanks for sharing that story with us😂
For some strange reason, I (like many) enjoy watching these videos, but I have noticed of late, your camera spends more time pointed at your shoes than at the area of the blockage, can I send you a tripod ? Being serious, not mean btw
The angles in this one aren't great, we admit that. We are currently experiencing a shortage of footage due to camera malfunctions! We should be getting more soon so much better quality content will be going up. We do have a small tripod which we are experimenting with at the moment which will be up in future videos. Do you have any recommendations for good tripod? We appreciate your feedback 😁
@@TheDrainUnblockers Oh that's not good, and just to be clear, you guys take the time to record, edit and post these videos, i'm sure right now the money from youtube isn't that much, so please understand, just something I was pointed out...Okay, tripods...2 ways to go, built like a tank and cost a fortune or cheap and easily replaceable..I've used the Mectrem brand a few times, not that easy to destroy and lightweight and not expensive.
Watching drain unblocked distress and addictive.😁
Are people really complaining about heavy breathing lol wtf, you work you get tired you tend to breath harder. But good video mate
Good Monday evening to you all from wellington Somerset
Hello there!
You gotta buy that liquid by Barrels. You're better off.
😂
Good good Jem 👍🏻
That was some blockage mate always hated doing drains you could tell were blocked with roots when I did jetting work
Jems the man who certainly can
I love the way that every time you finish your job you always tidy up after after yourself don't you think get wet though because I noticed in this one that you were tidying up and you're wearing shoes so don't you your feet get wet you get a big 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Oh mate, you're killing us with your camera work. You need a camera stand.
Great how you explain as you do your work....... subscribed
Definitely enjoy watching 👍
Glad you enjoyed!
I lived near Liverpool as a child in the 50's. I love to hear this accent again. The people were so warm and kind. However about 50% of the people then were Irish, and I found there was both the Scouse accent and the Irish accent everywhere. Recently I went back.... I heard no Irish accents, but I am told that most people have Irish surnames from this time!! I was educated by Irish priests there, and I can still do a passable Irish accent.
In Sydney Australia the Drain Adict charges $350 to clean a drain. If he can't do it then he doesn't charge. He uses a larger diameter penetrator to blast the way through and if necessary will use the size that you have for tightly compacted roots. Then uses a backwards facing root cutter to pull wipes and roots out. The 60 meter hose is mounted on a hose reel and has a valve which controls the flow, enabling him to clear much longer blockages. Also he jets upstream to ensure that it wasn't compacted and runs clean.
Good to know. We charge nowhere near that figure and also have a no fix no fee guarantee 😁
@@TheDrainUnblockers the price difference isn't much when you check the exchange rate between the pound Sterling and the Australian dollar.
Just like mine. A guy is coming tomorrow so I was interested :)
Time to demand they give you guys a six foot clearance space to work on the drains just like they do in the USA with packages being delivered.
Why would you leave children’s toys next to an over flowing man hole . Just clear the area for the bloke to work 🤦🏻♂️
Bloke should also clear his working area too knowings it’s gunna make a mess
Is that disinfectant safe for say like the home owners cat or dog who may get it on their paws? You use a lot of it. Maybe some baking soda or some vinegar and water instead.
Yes, and we always thoroughly rinse it down
Nice job. 👍
You will be back.
Cherry trees are murder for the root damage, should be planted at least 25ft away from any home.
Honestly there are a lot of backseat jetters complaining in the comments for this vid, and I don't think the complaints are really warranted. You're already aware of the camera, disinfecting the area is a must really especially with kids around and if there's roots the customer can pay a bit more to have them removed as it's a bit more involved. I don't see why people in the comments have issues with these things. Keep your chin up and top job as always.
I appreciate that, thanks a lot 😁
Nice
hi please don't waste water they have to pay for it love what u do
Not necessarily. If they have a water meter it's charged in cubic meters. If not they pay a set rate however much they use
Nice shoes
Glad you like them!
We seen a lot of those boots!!
Just wondering if this is a single family home or a townhome/complex with more than one resident?
Have a great day 😀
You too!
Why don't the clients clear the area before you arrive. I just can't understand why it would be left there
Another job welldone can I ask what's the strangest thing you have pulled out of a manhole the best thing Iv found was a WIG 😲👍👌👏
A Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle toy! Or a ginormous dead frog
Or condoms from the manhole of a house were the only person who lived there was in his 80s... that was an awkward moment as we both looked at each other.
@@TheDrainUnblockers omg, must have been the grandkids having extracurricular fun, lol
The first thing that I would do is sanitize that bike ball and pool and to heck with the rest of that mess he left there including the hose. Oh wait the hose is probably what he uses to fill the kids pool. Not a chance I'd let that stuff sit next to that drain knowing it is backing up. Thank God for people who clean and clear up drains like yourselves.
I don't understand how someone could leave a child's toys around all that sewage?
He probably wanted to blame the child.
PARENT - "you throw toys everywhere"
CHILD- "I'm sorry"
PARENT - "clean the toys and poop because you won't get ice cream"
I'm watching 194 unblocking a drain that has unbelievable amount a wet wipes they look blue, how often do you find clothing in pipes.
Just wondering why do you use loose stones near drains, knowing that they could over flow. 🤔 from USA 🇺🇸
Why all that desenfektive? We dont use that here in Denmark
dammmmm that must have ponged
15 min and what 120 quid ? NICE plus you know in 6 months you will be back again !
Think you right 👍
Not the best video better ones coming
You bet
How do the roots get into the pipe's.
Overtime pipework moves slightly underground so it can cause breaks in the pipe which roots will grow in, couple of other ways it can happen but i would say thats the main one. Best way to resolve would be either removing the root cause (pun intended) so removing the plant/tree where they are coming from or stick a root cutter in the pipe to clear out what's in there and line the pipe with a special liner.
Your work is good, is there work with you, I have experience
Why didn't you check out the root situation today? I only ask because you mentioned it. I mean like you're already there. Were you really busy?
Hi mate.....Of course I looked over your shoulder for a while. I'm not a fan of your disinfectants, but I know you've been doing your job for a while.20 years?
So tell me,are your customers always calling at the last minute or just not realizing that their homes are blocked and that the stuff is at its limit?
PS ..I don't know why Anderj was still writing in German. I got absolutely no idea..
We have a mix. A lot of customers ring as soon as their drain is blocked, others seem to have waited for months judging by the build up of waste. We once worked for 2 hours with 2 full tanks of water and 2 engineers on a blocked manhole which was full to the top with compacted and hardened wipes. It was impossible! How come you are not a fan of our disinfectants?
@@TheDrainUnblockers
Thank you. Well, you had an exciting thing there. I would have liked to have seen that done.
So, because it made me uncomfortable, I googled something on English.Don't get me wrong .. I think you should read that through and form your own opinion ..
www.makatimed.net.ph/news-and-exhibits/news/harmful-side-effects-of-hand-sanitizers-and-other-disinfectants
Tell me what you think about it plz.
Till then
We did film that job actually, but there was no end to it as we couldn't clear the blockage. Would you still want to see? I will definitely take a look at that article, thank you.
@@TheDrainUnblockersMate, I've been doing this stuff for 30 years now. And I kind of love my job, even if I'm getting older now..
Of course I want to see that😁 .. Do you have a reason why you didn't manage it .. Equipment or tools .. Broken pipe?
That must sure have worried you not to have had any success.😒
There were so many wipes that they had compacted into a concrete substance. Jetting was getting nowhere
Why pour disinfect before drain not unblocked?
I love pooing and watching this
sometimes I feel like your filling a swimming pool and somewhere in there unclogging
Needing work on your camera skills as everytime your bending to see manhole we are not getting to see what your doing when it is attached to your boiler suit cheers
Did you have a train to catch? Rushing so much, surely better to 1 get the blockage sorted, 2 disinfect and clean the perimeter, 3 advise the householder with their next steps - like checking the roots down by the street.
We did all that, cut the camera early 😁
Fair enough, felt like time pressure was caused by the guy needing to get his car out.
It's not full metal jacket it's full metal crap pit.
Yum yum yum
It just doesn't seem enough to go only 10m far.
Hi, been following your posts for the last few weeks and would like to know what pressure you use to clean out drains and apart from the odd time you use a couple of draining rods to prod about is there any other equipment you use and if so what
Cheers
Derek
you should probably jet in the back pipe too not just towards the road....
A vat of baked bean stew down the drain. 17:02
Bloody hell how to they handle the smell. Yuck 🤮 mine got blocked and the stink is so foul.. and the cause was some idiot flushing wipes down my loo. I couldn't do this job id need a gas mask well done.
I can't believe the homeowner left the kids toys and his bbq out WTF.
This will be the LAST time I watch a video here when a head cam is used. I almost threw up with the bobbing up and down causing a zoom effect. Either get a tripod or clamp or I'm done with your vids. At least your co-worker has adapted on his vids.
Bit dramatic mate
We agree, we will be using a camera man or tripod for future videos. Sorry for making you feel sick, I hope our future videos will be better for you
Good😁😁
Perhaps leave the disinfectant until the very end, you're just diluting it by flushing it with all that water. You did say in the vid (and you're right) that rain and air will clear the gravel...
A small amount of disinfectant (or bleach) at the very end might be helpful to the customers property. Anything else is a waste of resources, money, and environment (this stuff is manufactured...)
I think you did need your wellies, after all!
Please don't stop breathing or you will end up face first into your work.... its bending over a lot putting pressure on your lungs, so normal.
That's a toilet sewage block you need to unblock it with toilet plunger with your right arm/hand when unblocked the sewage will fall into my right trainer aka northface 1111 as the sewage is Iranian
Aka wood in the beech
Why do you make your life so difficult? Lift the front manhole and jet upstream, clear the blockage and the interceptor then wash down and disenfect.
There was a reason we cleared it this way, we have been doing this job for decades.
@@TheDrainUnblockers what was the reason?
Don't kno why hé use a bucket insted of à water hose thats write there 😮
I’m different because I eat when I’m watching and it’s nothing to me
Use a tripod dude!!
Had the kids toys been moved by someone; anyone, they wouldn't have needed to be disinfected.
I would be annoyed with the kids pool and bike, they should make the path more excessiblef
drain still blocked
Где мое сердце
😊
Way too much motion. Only looking at your feet or back of the gloves.
One of our earlier videos, our camera skills have improved substantially since then!
Anyone else get anxiety watching these dudes splash buckets of water over open sewage manholes getting water and sewage over everything including the childrens bikes. And when they blast it with the open pressure hose and waters just splashing everywhere off the sewage opening. Seems crazy to me.
Why just let a tap run with nothing under it?? Waste of wate and $$
Unbelievable the homeowners call someone out to clear the drains and leave their children's toys sitting in faeces
I don’t know where he has his camera, but I get tired of looking at his pant legs and shoes. It’s like half the video!
Turn the bloody tap off!!!!!
your camera moves too much so that the viewer can't be comfortable and even makes it a headache to watch your video. My advice, please fix it so that more people watch. thank you
The web on yr head is not good. All moviments that you do make we not filling well
Will be back. Rubbish flow
Is that all just shit ?
Yarp
U shouldve just moved your van and did a proper job, your not doing your best when your in a hurry, U need to slow down and stop trying to cut corners...***
The drain was cleared, unblocked, disinfected and running well. Flush tests were carried out and customer was left happy. What corners were cut?
Rude
Just a fact 😁👍
You are very rude having a pop at a bloke doing his job.
MMG MMG MMG MMG WHAT IM ME COMO ESTAS
Bloody hell!!! Thats one nasty clog!!! Sh*t!!!
"I love this job" while rooting around in other peoples waste.
That takes a special person 👍😁
😁😁
At last an outdoor hose. Can you just have a rethink about the camera? Too much vision of your feet. Good commentary. Thanks
I know the angles weren't that good in this one, we have recently implemented a few adjustments to combat this
Great to hear and thanks
