After watching this, I went outside and checked my own storm drain catch basins. And boy were they full of junk. Dug out lots of debris, decomposed leaves, mud and gravel. All of a sudden they drain much faster now :-D
Great job with the camera angles. When I see the water starting to flow I will look at the time remaining for the video. This time I was pleasantly surprised to see about 2/3 time remaining when things really started flowing. It is somehow satisfying watching you clean these drains. Thank you for sharing and keep the great content coming!!
You know what might be a grand idea? Take a 45° or a 90 plumbing elbow, cut a notch on the inside of the elbow wide enough for your hose to pass though then attach a broom stick or extendable pole to the outside. This way if you have a deep one like that you can use the attachment to direct the nozzle right into place so you don't have to find something else or climb down.
That's the trouble with soil ... in sitting water it will just drop out of suspension instantly and block the sh!t out of everything. Even if you get a bit of a flow going some of it will still settle and gunk things up again. Good job here!
One would think if this guy would have done this much "helping" during his normal job, he wouldn't have had to call Oliver out to clean out the drain. Nothing that a hose and routine maintenance could have prevented.
Yes and no. The high pressurized water would essentially shred, with some exceptions, almost everything to where it can flow down the lines. Of course the water could evaporate which can cause issues, but then that would be a civil issue since the refuse is likely in the city sewer by that point.
That was easily several hundred pounds of soil, vacuuming it out would have taken forever. That pit is also of shit design. Not only does it have the huge grate on top, but it also has what looks like a 6-8" inlet with a single 3-4" outlet for all of that. It's going to get blocked again in no time. If it were my problem, I'd get a jackhammer and break the wall between the pits to either install a larger pipe or re-brick it with a large opening.
I gotta give some love to the Single Barrel. It’s not as popular as it’s brother, but it still does a good job. Can you imagine though, the Double Barrel on the end of a wand?
Great work guys, another awesome video! ✅ Just wondering why you wouldn't hydrovac that buildup right out of the access hole instead of trying to break it down and send it downstream? 🤔
Cause its easier to ring a drain blockage guy and watch him do it. He gets paid either way and one way involves a lot of hard yakka. Dont blame him either.
There's something so satisfying about watching drains being unblocked, I came here from blackhead removal and diesel engine rebuilds - ah how Google knows what my idle mind wants to watch :P
I can't be the only one who can hear a woman whisper something from 1:57 to 2:02 it sounds like she says something inaudible then at 1:58 says will you? Then 2:02 says "will you help me? I've listened over and over. It's crazy. Anyone else?
I'm surprised there's such a thin tube between those two massive pits (the upstream one of which seemed to have an inlet that was way bigger than the outlet). No wonder it was blocked!
Dave: What about the one X amount of blocks up Ollie: Is that one blocked as well? Dave: Yea Ollie: That is GREAT!!!! Dave: Was that a sarcastic remark ( something like that)? Ollie: Just, you can pause here for a sec... I LOVE this channel!!!!
Omg this guy with his bad advice. Holy hell. Let's go from the top instead of letting you move the sludge down. Where did he think the sludge would go?
get a old army helmet and weld a shovel or rake grip to it - then you can get gunk like that out easily - my great grandfather used it for the waste whater of the outhouse cabin toilet
And where to put it? On the street? Or take it home? 😂😉 The "thick material" is diluted with the water jet and when the pipe is free everything runs off. 😌

Good boy😁
All good now?🤪👍🏻
@@pilgrimpeace7763 All good! 👌🏻😁
What has my life become. Looking forward to seeing drain cleaning!
Facts!!!
I know your pain!
Every morning I start looking for a new video!
Haha
The world is going to shit. Might as well watch it get washed away.
I've been stuck on past videos for 30 hrs now 😅 ...damn that pipe is addictive
Wonderful sound effects! Submarine; whoop-whoop. Alien deep throat. Alien choking on some soup... ! Love it!😀
I love the long ones! That’s NOT what the Drain Addict said... 🤣🤣 Great show as always.
I too
I three
With others trying to clean drains, I only look for the man with the orange gloves ! Great job!
In those cases with mud,you can stir that with some detergent in it.
liquid dish soap works good,it will break down the mud and reduce its viscosity.

The thin orange gloves are a nice touch and really keep the poop off your delicate fingers.
telemetryz , I’ve seen other TH-cam videos where people have been wearing them and I always think “Aw man, I gotta see if Drain Addict has a new vid!”
I got the feeling there was going to be a part 2 for this.
You should have sent the new guy down there to shovel that crap out.
Robert, shovel crap out and bring it to your house
@PvtMadnage - Bro. Matthewno BUT crap will be dropped off at your house
@@PeterALoch 🤦🏽♀️😂😂😂😂😂 you two cut it out 😂😂😂😂
Robert, I was thinking a garden hoe would have been the tool
It looks like diarrhea

here in italy we just shovel all that sediment because when it hardens up it becames a real problem.... still nice work guys cheers
even though i feel physically sick watching these videos i still watch them.... i don't even recognise myself anymore...
Always nice to watch a master at work.
"I might have to drop down there and stick it in" 😂😂 turned out you had to touch it with a 10 foot pole! 😆
drain clearing , dog grooming , hoof trimming, cooking, you name it. thanks covid
Fun to watch. Don't change a thing.👍👍👍👍👍
It's always good to see something involved with cleaning or clearing ways
Why didn’t you get a vacuum truck to remove those dirt and clay instead of flushing it away which could block further up?
That's what I was thinking.
Yes me too, it only makes sense!
That's the trouble with soil ... in sitting water it will just drop out of suspension instantly and block the sh!t out of everything. Even if you get a bit of a flow going some of it will still settle and gunk things up again. Good job here!
One would think if this guy would have done this much "helping" during his normal job, he wouldn't have had to call Oliver out to clean out the drain. Nothing that a hose and routine maintenance could have prevented.
I would have scooped that muck out with the shovel or somehow. Trying to push all that down the drain will just clog it up further down the line.
I'm no expert, but wouldn't flushing all the sediment down the pipe lead to a blockage further down the line?
Hence one more phone call! heehhe
Yes and no. The high pressurized water would essentially shred, with some exceptions, almost everything to where it can flow down the lines. Of course the water could evaporate which can cause issues, but then that would be a civil issue since the refuse is likely in the city sewer by that point.
pipes get larger the further you go
Exactly.. you’re NOT an expert.. shh
Bryan Dowling - It’s a reasonable question...
ughhh to just hear you speaking. 😍😍😍
Why not have it vacuumed out to get rid of the sludge? I see the problem just moving from one catch basin to the other.
That was easily several hundred pounds of soil, vacuuming it out would have taken forever.

GGigabiteM , not if you use a septic tank truck, it would be 5 to 10 mins .
John NZ - Let me just get the one I have in my back pocket out... there we go! 😂
GGigabiteM most cities use Vac trucks in storm drains all the time, would have cleaned those boxes in minutes.
That was one hell of a blockage !!
Ugh this was such a satisfying video. Especially with surround sound. lmao. Well done, Drain Addict.
Ollie needs his own love trowel...
I hate it when the people these two go to help try to tell them how to do their job.
This fella really knows how to handle his hose!
I gotta give some love to the Single Barrel. It’s not as popular as it’s brother, but it still does a good job. Can you imagine though, the Double Barrel on the end of a wand?

That would cost more money. That's two trades
Guys, an excellent job as always. BUT why hadn't the first maintenance dude just dug it out? Silted up would be the first thing to check?
Cause its easier to ring a drain blockage guy and watch him do it. He gets paid either way and one way involves a lot of hard yakka. Dont blame him either.
Wow when the comment section start to become experts after watching a few vids.
The best channel on TH-cam!
You say that every fuckin video get a new line
Sgdhxhd
Wouldn’t it be better to get a shovel and bucket and take away all that crud??
Yep, can't see any benefit to be gained from blasting yet more mud into an already blocked drain.
how tf you gonna get a shovel to function with that steep of an angle, Donna
Post hole pincer does the trick. It's what I use to get compost and dirt out of storm drains around the house.
A dust pan and a bucket would even work well.
You could use a post hole spoon!
nice to see you wearing safety goggles today :D
That is one Deep A$$ Drain
Great job !👌👍 hello form dubai
great video oliver and justin
I love it he's just playing around
5:30 why is the wall taking a piss? Is this a small outlet or a crack in the pit that's loaded too much water?
13:14 almost thought the video would be incomplete. Then, the obligatory lens wipe...
Where about in Australia are you guys located?? Anybody know?
There's something so satisfying about watching drains being unblocked, I came here from blackhead removal and diesel engine rebuilds - ah how Google knows what my idle mind wants to watch :P
Starting my bindge watch Olie!❤👍👍
Love it when a guy tells me how to do my job.
That was a deep pit. Glad you didn't fall in.
Keep em’ coming guys!
Would a vacuum truck help in cases like this. they could suck mud and anything else out of the pit. Thanks for a very good video
What did someone do?? dump a truckload of landscape soil in a drain??
Good lord, caught myself holding my breath so I wouldn't breath in those molecules. 😥🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🎃
one of my favorite videos, too bad it isn't longer, would have loved to see it completely cleared :(
So relaxing
..homeowners becomes editors...🐩🐩🐩
Are you required to get a confined space permit if you jump in?
How about using a fire hose instead of the pressure washer? Another great video,thanks.
this video should have been called "blocked chocolate factory 259"
You need a sump pump truck to suck up as much muck as possible instead of trying to flush it
I’m no expert but I can’t see vaporized feces mist being safe to breathe.
I can't be the only one who can hear a woman whisper something from 1:57 to 2:02 it sounds like she says something inaudible then at 1:58 says will you? Then 2:02 says "will you help me? I've listened over and over. It's crazy. Anyone else?
Time for a dip aye? Jump in mate and have a go👌😎
Why did you not shovel the dirt out
I'm surprised there's such a thin tube between those two massive pits (the upstream one of which seemed to have an inlet that was way bigger than the outlet). No wonder it was blocked!
I'll be damned whirlpools actually do spin the opposite direction in Australia.
Why did the guy say turn the camera off around the 02.00 Mark ? Couldn’t make him out !
Muito bom seu trabalho que tipo de mangueira vc usa e as conecsoes mim ajuda ai quero monta um pra mim trabalhar
All that vaporized waste makes a mask mandatory. Don’t want pneumonia
God gracious, this was a hell of a blockage.
Sounds like Super Mario is down the drain at 4:53. Made me Smile.
Hmm kinda want some chocolate milk now.
I am not expert but as a common sense they guys should lift mud with shavel & trash into garbage. lots of time & energy savings.
Was there a part II to this??
Why not use a heavy duty shop vacuum and vacuum all that sludge out and discard it?
Isn't this what vac trucks are for? Or do you not have such advanced technology over there?
Very good job guys❣️ 🤳 = 🏆
You should take the debris out if you take it out then dont take it out then it will block another drain
Dave: What about the one X amount of blocks up
Ollie: Is that one blocked as well?
Dave: Yea
Ollie: That is GREAT!!!!
Dave: Was that a sarcastic remark ( something like that)?
Ollie: Just, you can pause here for a sec...
I LOVE this channel!!!!
What did you do today? Not much just pressure washed a bunch of dirt.
I’m gonna have to jump down there and stick it in......lol that’s what he said
TOP
I can't believe i got hooked on this nasty stuff ,i was watching Andre Camarata ??
Looks like a smoke machine🤗
Wouldn't a vacuum truck work better than moving the problem down stream ? Just a thought
all that mud should have been picked up and put in a rubbish bin, instead of flushing down the river
Nice one x
Omg this guy with his bad advice. Holy hell. Let's go from the top instead of letting you move the sludge down. Where did he think the sludge would go?

How cold is it there?
Looked like a tedious one! All good!
lotsa dirt in there!
Death star sirens
This man will be the only survivor of the next virus apocalypse. He is Legend.
At 6:00 why not shovel that mud out? Isn't there a chance that will form another clog down the line?
And where to put it? On the street? Or take it home? 😂😉
The "thick material" is diluted with the water jet and when the pipe is free everything runs off. 😌
Isn't that a brick garden next to them? ✌
It looks like you’re stirring soup LMAO!!!
Bam Bam Billybears that’s some soup you ain’t gonna wannaeat lol
Wanna eat*
Is this mud or poo or both?
I wonder if the residents sit on wooden stools ?
I don't know why I watch these. I'm so confused. I don't understand. Why am I watching these?
i know why
Possibilité de traduire en français ? Merci
Did that bloke just tell you. You can’t film up there?
