Big props for him saying hello to and saving the spiders
Being kind to animals is a sign of a good human being, well done mate 👍
I agree! He's a good man! I've seen him even saving worms!!
Whatever you gentlemen charge for services isn't enough. Dealing with raw sewage, garbage and hazardous material deserves top pay.
We agree, however, it does depend what people are willing to spend.
@@TheDrainUnblockers If people have raw sewage backing up into the house I bet they'd be willing to spend what they needed to get it fixed..
@@TheDrainUnblockers do you charge customer direct per hour or per blockage I used to do blockage work could be good fun
@@TheDrainUnblockers - able to spend in some cases
I gotta say, I’m an electrician(mostly new construction), and I couldn’t get paid enough to do this. Hats off to you guys
Looks fun to me
That's sparkys for ya
Is it me or are these videos immensely satisfying?
You fellas are #1 in the #2 business! sending admiration for a critical service from the USA....
Heh.. #2
It is ridiculous to think anyone would want to watch something like this.....but here I am, can't look away.
"Save the spider"
Awww what a pure soul Andy is .... Unless that's what he wants us to think!
Always save the animals and insects, its humans you should think twice about🙃😆 🕷🐦🐦
@@jetter2-andy-539 👍
If you were a spider would you want your last moments to be in a Tsunami of poop, wipes, and paint?
I once saw Andy save a koala bear from a blocked drain.
Nice work with the spider. But what I don't get is just flushing the paint residue blocking the drain through the pipes instead of taking it out and getting rid of it the proper way. The resident of this dwelling should be fined for disposing of paint through the sewer. Or is that OK in the UK?
I'm so happy you saved the little spider ❤❤
This was interesting. I would never have considered putting paint in to the drains and polluting the system but this was another really silly, expensive reason not to do it if you don't want the drains backing up!
Thanks 🙂
Miss the good old days on the jetting... so satisfying sorting blockages. Nice job guys as always
Save the spider… that was awesome! 👍🏻😎👍🏻
The sign of a good human being 👍
Nice to see that no spiders were harmed in the making of this film. 😂👍
I absolutely love that you saved the spider!
Me too. I saw him fall and was like Oh No! But he saved the spider. Yr ay!
Good Tuesday morning to you all from Wellington Somerset
Although shifting the paint was a bit tricky, the vid had a great finish in the end..........
Great video! That was a crazy clogged drain! No wipes, roots, or corn for ratty! One of these days I will record and send you guys my bird singing along with Andy's whistling. I would like just to say that I assume all the gents have family, I just make it a point to give compliments when I like something. It brightens everyone's day. 😊 💖 from Canada!
👍👍👍
Ratty is down under, mate 🐀 🇦🇺
@@jstoli996c4s lol yes I know, but Ratty is an international celebrity and an ambassador for all the drainage engineers around the globe 🇦🇺🐀🌍
The drain gang is the best.
Why is this so satisfying!
On a seperate note, I'd love to see what it looks like in the main sewer (where all these pipes lead to in the street, I assume)
Andy one my fav jetters up for anything and always gets job done with the best camera angles 👏
Just when I thought there couldn't be anything else to come from that pipe, another blast comes through and my mouth hangs open a moment, then more and I feel my eyebrows furrow, then another blast and I feel my eyeballs bulge... Holy crap (no pun intended), that was crazy 😧😳
You saved the spider ... good man!
Thanks for saving the poor spider! 👍
This guy saves Spiders ....and I thought I was the only one who does that. They just gained a subscriber. :)
Watched a few of these videos the last day or two , He earned My subscription Today on this video when I saw Him take a min & save that spider.
Enjoy watching your videos here in the States (New York)! You are the master!
I rinse and save jars to dispose of cooking oil and grease..haven’t had a clogged drain in 20 years…never flush wipes or dump paint in the drains
Entering the club like 5:57
The fact he took the effort and time from what he would be paid to save the spooder
That was awesome, what a legend
Spider*
At last I've found someone else who calls them spooders.
Question answered...lol
lol
Thank-you - for saving the spider !
Great job Andy
Great work Andy!!!!!
Glad you enjoyed it
To quote Maxwell Smart "The old oil based paint down the drain trick". Well done... Dosey quim!
Suprised he didn't just scoop the paint out and continued to send it down the line.
thats another paycheck in a weeks time
Isn't that junction supposed to be a Y and not a T?
But surely the stuff you pumped down the main drain will block somewhere else?
It shouldn't, as main lines are much larger (or, at the least, a little larger) than drains running from buildings.
Nice work gents
That spider save!!!😅
Another great video. Well done you.
Good visual about 7:10 or so about why some areas have code that junctions have to be a Y “pointing downstream” instead of a T “on its back”
I am disturbed and satisfied. Both, perfectly.
Great job as usual Andy ✌️ 🕷 💪
I love the way that after every job you don't cleaning people strange that you're always clean cleaning up wherever you've done your job
I stuck 5 litres of emulsion down the drains while doing a house clearance. The worry of it meant that i went back the next night to stick another few buckets of water down. Was OK, but not that good for the environment. Was a nice pale blue if you're interested .
You probably had the prettiest drains for miles.
Good man saving that spider
There's nothing like eating breakfast while watching a video of doo doo splattering everywhere.....nice
nice one Andy !! great job done as per usual ..We hope wee spider set up web again 😃😃
Remember when you used to see white dog poo? It reminded me of one of those.
I remember those, I wonder why barkers stopped laying the white eggs?
Oh yeh 😂 why was that white not seen it for years not that I go looking 😂.
Just goes to prove that if there's one thing you can bet your house on, it's the stupidity of people. Firstly, whovever built that join 90° join to the main, and secondly, whoever pours full tins of paint and wipes down drains.
Also washing grout/cement off tools into drains also. Don't do this, wash them in a bucket then dump it in the garden. I learned this the hard way after redoing my bathroom tile.
@@Tailss1 - you shouldn't "dump it in the garden" either.
@@22Purplemist Better there than solidified in the drains.😇
@@Tailss1 - Neither is the correct way of dealing with it. People need to learn how to dispose of these things correctly
In Minnesota we don’t have this problem we build our sewers right!!
Oh that milkshake was extra frothy 😆
Greetings to you from Iraq
I thought you would have scooped the hard paint out and put it in the bin.
Yeah...safe guaranteed...we dunno in the lines got clogged or sumthing block it...
Bio hazard
You get a like for saving the spider 👍🏻
When you poked that i thought i heard it scream 😱
It certainly paints a picture but was it actually paint or lots of soap powder? Would of been white emulsion else? And who paints in this heat lol
Your plunger works better than mine. Maybe it’s the plumber!
mm paint down the drains :)
I was getting water ingress under the house when the toilet was flushed. The pipes wouldn't rod for some reason... When I started breaking up the concrete to investigate the issue the whole slab fell into the void. Then I heard the wife in the bathroom, that was a less than optimal start to the day.
The drain below the stink pipe had leaked then washed the clay out underneath it, so the pipe started to collapse into the void... The owner before me tried to fix the issue by lifting out the stink pipe and pouring what I can only describe as runny brilliant white artex slowly down the hole, so when I dug up the whole mess the pipes were half full of hard white paint stuff and the waste was overflowing back into the drains from an impromptu septic tank....
Lots of tripping hazards on the way to the backyard. Broom, pet dishes, bikes, & a green hose, among other things.
I noticed the green color of your wash water, that's the disinfectant. I bet it smells nicely now while you work.
Save the spider, good on you, mate!
I'm happy that did'nt splash through my screen
Don't Pour Paint Down Your Drain Proceed to flush paint down the outlet. What you just did is illegal in my state xD
Wow, you guys are lucky. All we have here In California is crappy 3 or 4” drain access covers
Good job, but wouldn't it have been a lot easier and cleaner to pull out all the paint sludge?
I don't know if I should admit that I've watched this about 6 different times.
Why didn't you pull the big glob of paint out ?
I'm not sure who's worse. The genius who designed/built that pipe ' T ' junction, the idiots who flushed all those wipes & paint down into the pipes, or the ' Drain Unblocker ' who just pushed the whole lot down the pipe, ending up ??????
Wonderful job Unblockers, just pushing more gloop down the drain so it will cause someone else a problem in the future ! Why not pick out the material (wipes) causing the problem and know that nobody else will suffer ??
Excellent point, it all just ends up blocking the main sewer!
The main sewer is probably at minimum 12” in the street, it will then make it to the sewage treatment center and be dealt with appropriately! Don’t be so fast to blame someone for something that won’t happen!
You didn't "have to" save the spider but i kind of like it. Means you care of the living.
was that an entire bucket of paint? bloody hell.
2:08 "Save the Spider" 😎
Quite, quite backed up and for a good while.
It's so clean at the end you can eat off it!
I hate spiders 🕷
This goes to show that certain things should not be put down the drain.
But what if you want to paint your pipe lining? Surely it's easiest to just flush some paint?
Also, I kinda feel like this is not a very good sewer construction. This looks like the equivalent of putting a Tee-junction where you should really put a Wye... Oh nevermind, seems like you mentioned this by the end of the video.
Super. 💙 T.E.N.
I'm waiting for someone rich to fly you guys out of the UK just to unblock their drain.
Now that sounds like good fun 😁👍👍
Us too!!!
@@TheDrainUnblockers I'll need to check airfare for you guys out from London to Seattle. I have a sewer line from my house to the main that needs to be replaced. It was build in the 1940s, and has no access points or cleanouts. lol
Building control wouldn't pass that drain as the pipe at the side is entering at 90 degrees.
4:32 :):):):) Damn I'll never mess with this guy....
How could anyone with any common sense think putting paint down the toilet is a good idea. Send it to recycling. Common sense is in short supply in that household.
Why not shovel the paint blob out of the drain rather than just ramming it into the next hole to get clogged again?
Seeing that emulsion soaked log at 1:18 made me wonder something I've not thought about for years. Why do you never see white dog poo any more?
Bloody 'ell, I can smell it from here!
Amazing how much of it there was , I assume customer lied more like 20-30 litres lol
Isn't it amusing how we just love watching shit pouring down an unclogged drain!🤣
We don't have the good fortune of an open drain. Could I pour paint thinner down the drain?
The spider tho😳
Why do you not remove the gunk instead of moving it down the line??
Who dumps paint down the drain? That foolish and irresponsible. BTW kudos on saving the spider.
so why nor lift out the solids first?
Out of curiosity, what does a call out to a blockage like this cost please?
save the animals, always!
How come you all (most of you all) don’t rinse off the rim around the manhole cover so that when you put it back it goes back on easier and comes off in the future hopefully easier? My Uncle was what we call here a master plumber and he always cleaned out the rim of the manhole whenever there was one.
Not judging, just curious. Why pour disenfectant straight down the manhole ? I understand the surface area
Why does paint do that? Did it attach to something or? I don't understand how is clogged it so badly
My guess is that any paint that dries on the sides of the pipe then flakes of causing buildup that eventually clogs the drain.
England and America are two countries separated by the same language!
One could say the spider got himself in some terrible shitty situation
I pour what’s left in a paint tray down the sink but obviously only emulsion and let the tap run for some time , good unblock jet man 2 , good jetting may the force be with you 😂.
whats the green liquid? you pour in?
alien blood
these guys gotta have the strongest noses around xD
It’s so close to the house, doesn’t it smell really bad?
