    Lovely video.

    Hello friend. I live in the USA, and I've come across some really old plumbing setups. I mean, like the mid to late 1800s from toilets to old cesspools, which are that old and still in use in rural areas of the Northeastern states where the homes are close to 250 years old or less. My question is, what are the oldest drains and fixtures that you've come across in your work?

    • @Keep_itflowing

Seems like a lot of work to push the sewage manualy with a plunger or by the water from the house and break it down with a low pressure hose?

      Tbh the way I work if a job can be done by the customer I don't mind them seeing how to do it if it helps them out in the future I would rather that then rip them off and pretend the job is harder than it is. Customers don't hire us to to jet unless they specifically ask us to, they hire us to unblock their drains, it isn't always necessary to jet every time.
      I know looking back i should have jetted it but at the time the water pressure was slow so would have put a lot more time on the job, I know the jetter appears quicker but it can take half hour to fill the tank and it pumps out at 12 Gallons per minute a lot higher than a hose pipe so can empty it in no time at all. The jetter is always empty at the start of the jobs and drained at the end due to weight on the vans making them over loaded.
