- Hi All.
Called to a blocked roof outlet drain that running inside a boxed column in a ground floor office . I tried FlexShaft, Jetting & an Auger to unblock the line from the roof with no success.
We found out there was a manhole under the carpet & because the gutters were only overflowing to the footpath, we chose to return to open the manhole when the weather improved.
NOTE: During the first visit, my GoPro had a crack in the lens cover & I was waiting on a replacement, which I received before returning to unblock the drain from the inside.
I love that you didn't give up and that you showed the whole process too! Very well done all of you! You guys deserve a cheers 🍻🍻
Thank you, it was a great way to end the Friday.
Thanks you all for supporting the channel - you guys are awesome!

The good old Rak 40 😅👍 The moment thinking of it , I saw it standing there screaming and waiting to be used..
😂
Oh ..by the way.... Good job mate
Its a powerful beast, but so so heavy.
@@mrdrains2088 I know.. 😅That's why I have it in the company and take it only for hard jobs. And als that's why I got the Rothenberger R600 in the van . Doing good for 30 meters with normal jobs.. but lighter
@@kempingerrohrreinigungberlin See if you can convince the Rothenberger Rep to loan you a R600 VarioClean as it has a high speed setting that spins the cable at 600 rpm with a chain on it, pretty much like FlexShaft, but not as fragile as FlexShaft.
@@mrdrains2088 I can ask. But there will be no differents to the normal R600 I suppose...
Brilliant job Mr, that was a clever idea and it worked well, good job.
Thank you very much - its amazing what you can do with a wetvac.
Well done , that was tricky
It made for a good ending to my Friday getting that out.
Nice job!!!!
Thank you! Cheers!
That was an Adventure. Keep that style coming.
Very impressive working through that clog!
Nice job! I wish you would've got that last piece out...
Yeah I know. That will require either a making up a special tool or getting in a large company with a robot cutter or digging up the area. Its now in the hands of the plumber & building owners to decide, but if they want me to have a go, I'll certainly show the work.
@@mrdrains2088 thank you so much!
Now you need a grate covering the drain opening to keep that from happening again .Next time it could be a " beer can " or something else .
I was expecting just that too be honest. Roofers are going to do repairs to the boxed out gutter & hopefully will remember to install one.
Nice job!
Thanks Adam.
Great discovery and removal! 🎾🏐⚾⚽🏉🎱🎾
Hi Suzanne, it was really good to get a result for the client, especially after breaking out just about every tool in the arsenal.
Strangest places that you guys find balls and rebar!! Was that mineral build up molding itself to the inside of the pipe also? Great job of getting that ball out. I want that vacuum cleaner!!!
Hi Cheryl. The flat piece in front of the rebar is concrete, if you follow it back to the rebar you may be able to see the how the concrete flowed into the pipe through the hole made by the rebar to settle in front of the rebar as that big flat piece.
Wow! What a pain in the butt. Your resolve is incredible. The contractor who allowed the rebar to pierce the drain pipe should be responsible for the repair, but they are probably long gone.
Hi Big T. I think this building is as old as us & when I was putting together the video I noticed that lump of concrete came from when they poured the slab as you if you look twice, you can see the set flow of concrete to the lump in front of the rebar.
I came up with a technique to cut it out, but I think the will ultimately leave it & ensure the pipe inlet at the roof has a protective cage to stop anything big going down or the building owner may choose to repair it - we'll have to wait & see.
Big T.. 😂 I like that ... 😂
@@kempingerrohrreinigungberlin lol, I am a 2XL kinda guy Carsten. When a man has a favorite tool, he builds a shed over it! Hahahahaha
@@mrdrains2088 I saw the concrete in the bottom of the pipe in front of the rebar. I suppose you could fashion a tubular metal cutting end for the snake. Carsten @Kempinger Rohrreingung Berlin has made a few special use drain tools and cutters powered by his jetter.
@@timothypirnat3754 😂 😂 😂
If you had guessing contest beforehand to see if folks could guess what the blockage involved was and how you unclogged it, I would surely have lost! Lol.
My money was on a beer bottle, even I didn't guess it correct. I still have the ball downstairs in a bucket.
@@mrdrains2088 For sure that one's a keeper. 😂
I was guessing a plastic water bottle, because I had a similar situation to this lat year: Morning after a night of very heavy rain, got a call out to a shop that had a bad leak from the roof. I got up there to find an internal gutter full to the brim. Put my arm down the outlet pipe, could feel something hard stuck in there. I struggled to grab the object and pull it out against a 1 metre head of water. As I got the half full bottle of water to the top of the pipe, I was praying that the sudden release of the huge amount of water wouldn't burst the very old pipe and flood the building, and thankfully the pipe held. It was very satisfying watching the water gush down that gutter outlet!
It would take a lot of force to punch a piece of re-bar through that clay pipe. I don't know how they would do it.
Almost certainly hammered in, possibly as part of the slab boxing support as its right at the building envelope, but its been there for as long as the building has been there. We will have to wait to see what the building owners want to do about removing it.
@@mrdrains2088 Right. That piece of rio was probably too long so the steel guys couldn't be bothered cutting it so they just smashed it through the pipe. We had steel guys pull out half of our core hole cans on a deck because they were "in the way". We had to get a core hole drilling company in to cut new holes through the slab.
@@petet968 When its out of sight & no one is going to discovery it for months, or years as in this case I see it all the time, rebar through pipes, concrete in pipes. My good buddy spend 18 hours recently on a new build removing a 1m (3') plug of concrete from a newly build home where the owners had just moved in. In the end the pipe was damaged during this process & part of the new tiled floor & shower had to be removed to cut up the slab - $Tens of thousands of dollars later the builder is trying to blame the plumbers.
@@mrdrains2088 Damn. Yeah concreters are just as bad. The pebble-crete guys used to fill stormwater drains with their slurry. Morons.
What if you had tried to pop the ball to deflate it and pull or flush it through...
It is a really solid plastic, not a soft ball, even if you put a large hole in it it would not collapse.
@@mrdrains2088 got it. Thanks for the response.
nice job 🙃🤹♀⛹♀
