- Blocked drain. Double trouble trapped rods. #drains
This job was a graft to be honest, what I found in the end was a surprise to say the least.
Another drain unblock in Bebington Wirral England. You will notice the HQ of Uni Lever Research in the background.
Enjoy the video
Hi Tony, I used to do this for a living many years ago in my 20s (now I'm 66,) for the city council, started on rodent control then moved on to laying sewers with the gangs, even worked on the 8ft main sewer that runs through the city then onto the jetters, clearing manholes, sewers etc. Brings back memories 😊 by the way I always have Yorkshire Tea don't drink anything else!😅 Keep posting the videos and I've subscribed way back, thanks😊
Cheers mate, sounds like u had a very interesting career, thanks for watching and being on the team I appreciate you.
Hi Tony I Always put any wipes in a Nappy Sack and in my outside bin for the council to dispose of.
Experience is priceless
Excellent job and certainly educational! I have a set of drain rods and am learning what to do and what not to do. I used to work for Unilever in Leeds! 😂
Nice one cheers
Lol love the story about Unilever, more evidence no one messes with the Drain Don of Bebbington 😅👍
True story lol
@@drain-unblocker My Dad was a self employed plumber - ever heard of Simpsons sausages? Big sausage factory in Stockport that tried to get out of paying their Bill when placed into Admin, anyway he took them to the small claims court and won!
The self employed companies like yourself need to take on the big boys at times to get what's due👍
@@Nick_1072 glad to hear he got his money.
Anyone watch the water? He added nice and clear as you could drink it, and then he turns mechanical on, and it gets darker and darker, and you know you should look away, but you can't! You can't look away because in that pipe is not clean water...it's evil! There's evil down that dark and evil pipe and it wants to blow up and splash our Tony in the face!
Oh the humanity!
Interesting one 👍
10/10 for the tea but 0/10 for his drain fix😂😂 yet again Tony 10/10 on the job😎😎
Cheers 🍻
Hi Tony, That had me scratching my head until you got the end piece out from the rod, then i could see what was behind it..lol His son must have known he lost a piece in there, Wouldnt he? Great job as always Stay Safe from a Tassie Fan ❤️🙏👍🤗
I think your right lol 😆
Always diverse and interesting Tony, you never know whats going to turn up. Derek from Barnsley.
Cheers mate
This is what happens when the homeowner suddenly decides they are going to be a drain engineer for the day 🙈🫣
Yeah, dont want to be rude about the customer who seemed a decent bloke, but he's made a right Town Halls of his soil stack and drains.
Plenty of remedial work for Tony to sort out.
Love it, maybe if we make the hole a bit bigger lol
Enjoyed this,slight overkill where they cut the pipe out? I never tire of you and your work. Well done Tony xx. Another one under your belt.
Glad you enjoyed it, yes butchered that pipe didn't they.
Really instructional. It was simple to follow your thinking and your actions; all to that "definitive" understanding of what was going on. Neat.
Cheers mate
Looks like a dig. Nice work Tony.👍
Lol at the Unilever comment Tony. I worked in engineering for them and was occasionally told by suppliers that we were on "hold" for spares because the bills hadn't beed paid. They soon paid them when we pointed out that a line overhaul would be late getting back in production if we didn't get the spares pronto 😁 Its a multi billion pound company and they weren't shy of getting a poor reputation for payments. 😳
Yes mate a sad situation, I couldn't stand the chasing of invoices so one day I went in to their manager Roger and said, 'you better sit down, I am letting you go mate and the rest of your company, he looked perplexed lol I walked away 1991
You've been a busy man Tony, good work 👍
Thanks 👍
Colour coordinated gloves as well ,
Tony I can only press the like and subscribe buttons once! My finger’s worn out trying to press more mate!
Cheers mate 👍 👌
Well done mate x
Hi Tony you worked all around Unilever. Going back on a few of your videos.
Always buy quality tools Tony and learn from the experts!!!
Well worked out Tony, Another good job :), All the best from Wales,
Thanks 👍
When I worked for pressure clean nw back in the 80s we used to look after the drains at port sunlight
I bet that was an adventure, knowing the spaghetti junction going on there
@drain-unblocker yeah it as Tony we also used to look after a chemical Co.pany in widnes called marchem don't know if you know it and a Co.pany next door to fiddlers ferry power station called Bush boke and Allen they made pine scent for disinfectants and stuff it was on your skin for weeks after on the plus side we didn't need deodorant lol
Another interesting video, T. Do you think the customer went a bit OTT in cuting the access hole into the soil stack? 🤣
I certainly do! Blocked soil stack? Dont mess about and call the experts in!
The repair/ replacement of that pipes going to cost the homeowner a few quid!
Tony would have drilled a small hole and a bung or access cover installed.
Basically bigger ain't always better lol
I finally decided to subscribe. It helps me with my diet sitting here watching you battling sewage! I say battling, it seems like at least nine times out of ten you defeat the sewage.
Cheers hope the diet is working mate
Since I have subscribed to Mersey Rod I felt I had to subscribe to you so that it's fair 😜.
Yeah I subscribe to Mersey Rod and Tony,
Tony very informative and has some unique call out locations, Mersey Rod lighthearted with the different lads, but not enough of Boss Jem who is old school like Tony with the technical information although his No2 Andy features a lot more these days.
The Australian and American videos not for me, it's just about big blasting that would smash old clay Victorian drains to smithereens
Who ? .... good choice love the Mersey bods from Liverpool
WIPES!!!!!!!
Tough one, just what a home owner wants to hear they are going to have to spend a lot more money to fix it. But what else is there to do.
That mess was caused by the customer doing his (trying to do) own unblock. Cheers
I’m not surprised that you dumped the big company as most of them were on a 60 or 90 day payment for your work, so your waiting either 2 or 3 months to get payment from them for your services.
Yes mate and they didn't give a hoot
Sharpen that knife Team Leader!
Maybe the owner will have you do the work.
Why did the other workers not see that rods.
Why not access the blockage from the manhole?
That was a hard one Tony what was the tool beside the post hole digger. The chain on the drill is a good thing what's it called???
Pitcher tool
Usually for Slabwork
I might be wrong 🤷♂️🤷♂️
The tool on the drill is a drain snake.
@paulf2529 thanks Paul
What is penguin? Is it a cookie? I’m from the US and not familiar with that brand.
It is like a rectangular version of an Oreo chocolate creme cookie covered completely in a thin layer of milk chocolate. They are individually wrapped and usually come in packs of 7. They have been selling them in the UK since 1932, and considered one of the most successful and popular snacks, finding their way into millions of school kids lunch boxes for decades.
@@stevejones1972 sounds lovely. Thank you 😊
And drain engineers tea breaks
you earned your money on this one tony......marian
