Glad to see you keeping ratty fed during these difficult times. Please never stop the arm swinging at the beginning cheers me up man. Hope all is well over there Ollie!
I never realised that guys who design and build and expensive houses such as this have such a brilliant sense of humour. It’s either that or they have a screw loose.
Either that or during the foundation dig out faze "hey guys, bonus, found this old 13th century Norman castle plumbing already in the ground!!! we can just tie in, save some money.... it will be fine."...
Dude thanks for going out during the pandemic and fixing people's shitty situations. Plumbers may have a pretty gross job but we wouldn't be anywhere without you guys (and gals).
Hey Ollie thats what it's looks like under that house at first I thought it was a dungeon then with all the twists and turns it was kind of like a Labyrinth you make one wrong turn and you'll never get out of there you and ratty will be wandering down there for days with just a piece of corn between you two lol 🤔🐀🌽🚶😋😉
Hi Ollie and Ratty, thank you for brightening up my day. During these times of staying home it's nice to have something to look forward to. I always enjoy your videos. Cheers from Tassie.
I think you should invest in one of those harnesses where you can place the go pro in. Saves you trying to work with one hand or hold it with your mouth😂
What a weird construction with those white pipes above ground... Your knees must hurt like hell from all that bending! Im gonna send you some ‘buy a small folding chair’ money my friend!! These drains were fighting you to the last second, dang! Amazing job yet again! Thanks for taking the time to do these awesome vids Ollie! Much appreciated!
That’s .... the strangest space behind a door as I’ve ever seen. 🤷🏻♂️ Was that ground water, leaking roof water, or flooding from heavy rain events? Very confusing space.
These video's truly bring me joy. It may sound weird but after a long day at work I love to sit down and watch one of Ollie's videos. Not only are they satisfying to watch, but this man is true legend. Thanks Ollie and keep up the good work! I hope all is well with whats going on in the world.
Why do some of these Australian houses seem to be built over multi tiered dungeons?? Nothing but drain canal's, old pipes and the like. Have there been a lot of additions put on the original homes?
@@jackprice6599 I have an honest, respectful question since you may be familiar with construction around the Sydney area.... As a USA resident what I see on Drain Addict's videos seems very odd. It seems very odd to build houses or buildings on top of an "basement" or "crawl space" where the "floor" is bare earth. Don't you have problems with dampness and even mold in the living space? Thanks in advance for any light you can shed on this.
@@felsenruh there is a growing awareness of a mould problem some areas have, but i have lived in a few houses that have the same sort of set up (used to live in a house that had a really big area under the house, a snake even lived in there) and we never really had any problems
@@felsenruh Sydney is pretty hot and dry and the damp seems to be just in the underfloor. Some of the terrace style places have some damp coming up into the wall but not as mould just peeling paint and render and a sort of effervescence.(not sure that is the correct word)
Would love to see a video of your end of day cleanup process, a description of the health risks you face in your work and the protocols you follow to ensure you stay healthy.
These may be older videos before Corona Virus as I haven't seen DA doing it yet, but a lot of us in the industry are wearing respirators (as per regulations), PPE & spraying lots of sanitiser etc.
I thought open trench sewers went out with the Romans! How difficult would it be to lay pipe in that trench? Not very. It must be mouldy in that basement.
I was trying to rationalise that in my head too (I mean, I gave up. The house has a random white pipe coming out the ground and going through a doorway, clearly plumbing is a dark art down under...). The best I could come up with is the house is built on a slope, and the open drain lets water running out the ground go around the house, rather than soaking into the walls.
It's _not_ for sewage, it's stormwater. But I've never seen that before in Sydney. Those foundations looks like an owner-builder effort and the plumbing has probably never been inspected.
AS James said the open one is just to collect water seepage out of the sandstone so it cant build up against the back of the walls. The pipes running out of the door was a temp pump setup as the sewage and drainage were both blocked.
@@sydneyshinshi I know it was for storm water, which makes this a storm sewer. I'm just surprised they don't have French drainage instead of open trenches.
This is the weirdest assed waste plumbing set up I have ever seen.. Home Inspector: "Well, your internal open running sewer moat seems to need a little work, other than that, your sketchy concrete homemade shit pipe cap seems to be in order.."
Been watching Drain Pro videos and have to say your equipment seems a hell of a lot more user friendly, fair enough his on much bigger drains but on the 90mm-100mm your gear leaves it for dead and the isolation valve on the hose reel saves a hell of a lot of walking. Drain Addict has my money hands down and near 200k, not long back we were trying to fall across the 100 k, keep up the good work Ollie and Ratty
Hey, I’m 15 but looking forward to my future yet haven’t quite figured out what I wanna do, however this seems very intriguing and down my alley, I don’t know why, I’m not disturbed with the thought of working with shit, and doing this seems like the type of job high in demand but with little workers, if you reply may I know what this job is called and why courses id need to pursue this career, thanks ahead of time if you respond, hopefully in 5 years or so I stick with this mindset and join you in this field, cheers mate!
Depending on where you’re from I think will have a different name, here in the uk they’ve got multiple names, plumbers, drainage specialists etc. As a level 3 Plumbing student I find it’s incredibly difficult to find any sort of apprenticeship work or general work experience in the plumbing trade but maybe there’s more hope for the “shittier” side of the job if you catch my drift. And yeah I’d imagine these guys earn a lot of money, just look at how much the equipment they use costs. Anyways have a good day and hopefully you find the career that you want
@@miskeen8701 dont know if its different where you are but over here in the UK that isnt plumbing. im a plumber and dont fuck about with drains, nor do any plumbers i know. drainage is completely seperate.
Rhys Whittington facts - this isn’t plumbing. Some plumbers do this, but this is not plumbing. In NYC this is basically always just called drain cleaning.
The kookaburra tends to get a little overbearing other than that great videos took me a minute to get over the corn For ratty But now I catch myself keeping an eye out for corn that you mess LOL
so many building code violations... this place would be condemned as unfit for human occupancy in the USA... Ratty and Ollie are todays Super Hero's protecting the health for all of mankind...
When I first saw this, and you walked to the back, I thought you already had a spare pair of boots waiting on you! Sadly, I rewatched and you were just carrying them.
Ollie doesn't catch a case of Covid... Covid catches a case of Ollie... "Oi let's infect some Aussie's!!" "Wot about that Ollie fella??" "No way in hell mate, He's got the fighting spirit of a rabid Roo running through his veins!!"
It makes sense that he walks like a video game player. Video games are the only other place you see plumbing like this stuff. Every video just makes me wonder more and more about Australian plumbing as a whole. Pipes just running every which way!
This is where Oliver comes into his own, when he goes from a drain pipe to a sewer pipe with his dear friend Ratty 🥴 I sure hope there is a part 2. I HATE getting frustrated 😡
I think you have been to this disaster of a house once before - open storm water under the house is 100% non compliant as is the soakage pit that it runs into - as for the cast iron drains from another era well they do not match the house (extension at least) - doesn't meet code - needs to be all replaced without question. Good job Ratty hope you are well.

Friendly warning: there's a lotta shit coming down the pike.
And see there is a lot of time, take a sit and enjoy all 445 videos
Hey thanks for the welcome!
been here since blocked drain 165
"The rat marks the spot" , words of wisdom.
Thanks Ollie
Love the way u walk makes the vids that much better. And Ratty!
This channel really changed the way i eat corn.
Liam Ellis With wipes now?
So do you chew it or swallow it whole? You gotta save some for Ratty.
@@suprinfean i just throw whole cobs of corn down there now and hope it gets to him one day. Long live ratty
It's changed my thoughts on eating corn ever again.....
I do not eat corn at all now
I have been watching so many of these as I have Just discovered this and caught myself saying “corn ratty” yesterday
I say, “give it a wash” before I do anything lmao
my kids say it now without even knowing what there on about, that and "Good Job"
Thank you
All gooooood
Good evening Ollie. Hope all are safe for you and your family. Happy to see a post again.

@@throttlebottle5906 no way ur not a Boomer
Nope you guys just never see what tradesmen see. Its under the house. If you went to that house, you wouldnt even know it was there
I subscribed solely for the arm swinging!!! Wooooooo!! Kills me every single time!

Very confusing space.
Like a serial killer basement!
Its under the house. Its a service access door to under the house to access plumbing and other services.
These video's truly bring me joy. It may sound weird but after a long day at work I love to sit down and watch one of Ollie's videos. Not only are they satisfying to watch, but this man is true legend.

I hope all is well with whats going on in the world.
Love your video’s. Never thought watching fecal matter getting cleared from pipes would be so entertaining 😬. Cheers from Las Vegas, Nevada.
I've watched so many of your videos I feel like a professional at unblocking drains. Meanwhile I've never touched a jetter lol.
I laugh every time Ratty says "Thank you" for some corn.

Been waiting for a new video, glad to see Raty is working again.👍🐀
Always enjoying watching your videos. ✌️From Morocco 🇲🇦😊
Almost think there's no air behind the water in this place.. sheesh!!! Good job, Ollie and Ratty!!!!
What is the deal with the labyrinth that appears to be underneath every house and building in Australia?
the overflowing toilet paper and fecal matter is where you earned your sub sir. You do the world a huge favor.
Nice looking home on the exterior. Who knew such horror could lie just beyond the door.
Arms in full swing today! Stay safe out there Ollie!
I love the arm swing going from fast to slow mo

I always like to assess the situation with you and try to guess which jet head you’ll go to first. If I’m right I grab myself a beer 🍺 bravo Ollie!
Good work ratty and Ollie stay safe from New Zealand 😀😀😀👍👍👍🌽🌽🌽🌽
Hahaha the arms man kill me lol
Just as I was going to go to sleep, I see this pop up on the main page. Not complaining. Stay safe!

There is nothing i would love more than to watch you walk past my bedroom window walking like steve from minecraft
