    Sid, I gotta say I watch several pressure washing channels, but you are one of the only people that actually take the time to care about the details. Things like moving plants and furniture, cleaning the areas like the fences and walls where needed. Trying to clear out the drains was even a step above. I think it is part of why your channel is successful.

    With things like the blocked drains and possibly others. It might be a idea to have some leaflets in your van. From companies you would happily recommend. If your customers are happy with your work they might be also happy to follow your recommendation to a company that has a similar work ethic.
    And ofcourse the idea is that those companies also do it back to you. (like you scratch their backs, they scratch yours)

    We had Irish travellers who did next door's drive, they sprayed all the sand from between the bricks into our drive and into our drain. It looks me hours to take it all apart and clean it out, the sand had gone solid.

    You are a brave soul Sid. I would have seriously told them to get the drains unclogged first and then came back. Would have been nervous about them having backed up water in their house again. You did an amazing job as always though! Love your work ethic.

      Lots in this line of work cut corners, do it for dirt cheap and you get what you pay for.... Big difference as they probably don't even treat in most cases.... We have that same travelling group here in Ireland that do all that, sure they were probably the ones that done the original drainage install or lack of....

    With all the rain you guys have been getting, I’m surprised every house wasn’t flooded already. Whoever is managing things there has dropped the ball with those drains. It’s likely to be an expensive fix at this point.

    I've never appreciated living in such a well-draining, uphill area as much as I do now that I've watched your videos. I mean, a lot of my childhood was spent in a house with a basement that flooded twice a year, but now that I live above the river I have grown complacent. I am glad that my city fines people for getting leaves and grass clippings in the streets.

    You always handle the degree of difficulty you face with aplomb. I admire that. You also do the fine details which is important and impressive as most people couldn’t be bothered. Edit: A qualified plumber is needed on those drains. Can’t they use an electric eel to clean them up or am I out of date as I am an old lady. Amazing job Sid. Thank you. May you please take care and stay safe.

  • @helendaly5030

    Wow!!! Quite the challenge this one. The drainage issue is terrible there. Makes the job so much harder. They should have you come back and do all the fencing. That would make it really stand out. Great job. Love watching all your videos. Always interesting and challenging jobs. This 77year old lady never thought I would be so fascinated by pressure washing. Beautiful brick work there in England. My daughter and her family are going there in two weeks can't wait to see all her pictures. Thanks for sharing.

    I can't understand it... they knew after the last time they had a pressure washing that there was issues with the drains... haven't bothered to get a professional out to fix them... then decided to get it pressure washed again.
    I know you're aware of the issue and will do what you can to not flood anywhere, but honestly I don't understand why they haven't fixed the issue before getting it pressure washed again.
    It's like having a leak in your roof, and saying "oh, I love the sound of rainfall, I can't wait for it to rain again" before fixing your roof.
    Blows my mind
