I very much like the way the drains are recessed from the road. It's so easy to see their location, and it also means it's far safer for a person to unblock the drain.
And a sturdy pair of gloves. Reaching into murky water to remove leaves, rubbish and other gunk makes me a little anxious. Risks: Dirty Syringes, broken glass, malicious traps.
having lived in Detroit when I was younger, seeing these neighborhoods brings me back. I now live on the west side of Michigan so still a Michigander at heart!
@antfbi You are right but not necessarily. You could for example move to another locality, but be missing your old home and places. I have sometimes been distracted and thought "I'll just drop into... oh wait that's in my old city". Half my childhood was spent there.
@@Gilly14 Post 10 has been doing it for years, these people started their channel last year. It's a bit of assuming, yes. But as a matter of perspective, to me Post 10 is the name brand, and these people are perfectly fine off brands.
to be honest i had no idea who POST 10 was until i posted my 1st video. then someone commented "post10", after searching the name post10 i found out it was a youtube channel. and to be honest i only drained my neighborhood and a few places. but a friend told me to do other places and record it. im glad to be part of the movement and yes post10 was and is the biggest hit when it comes to drains
I said "Bless you" out loud when the little guy sneezed. Great work, thanks for doing it! Your community appreciates it, even if they don't even notice that work had been done.
Did you know that the vortex is the most efficient way for the drain-water system to operate? For some reason nature is picking up the best solutions for each obstacle. Aren't laws of physics great?
Quickest way to empty a round bottle is to swirl it to induce a vortex. The vortex will be stable, allowing the air and water in at the required rates, and no gulping.
You’d think the neighbors would be on it as soon as possible. Specially with those old houses. We all know those basements aren’t bone dry all the time. I should know….. my house was built in 1917 and had my foundation redone. Cost a pretty penny but bow I have a full on man cave to escape from the wife.
@@biggestcomplainer This is what gets me. I live about 30+ miles north of detroit and it is the homeowners responsibility to make sure that the drains are cleaned out before a storm.
The city is supposed to take care of this. But they lean on their shovels and drink coffee in their trucks. What do you think homeowners pay taxes for?
1. I grew up near there, and those homeowners pay 8 times as much in taxes as I do in Arizona for a comparable size home. So their government who gobbles up those taxes should spend wisely. 2. That drainage system is from the early 1900's and does amazing considering its age!!!!!
It took this guy 10 min because he had to post it and get people to praise him. If people did things without trying to be recognized it would be better.
I had to do this a few weeks ago. One side of the road was under a foot of water. Nobody was going to do anything either. It was that way for 3 days and took less than a minute to drain once the leaves were cleared
Yo!! I'm instantly subscribing. I'm from Lansing and have tons of family in Detroit. Glad to see The D has a Post 10. That city is on the up and its because of folks like you.
Wow! Crazy to see and learn of different drains in different states! I applaud you for taking the initiative to do this! If it's your JOB? Then we'll done ✅! Well Done!! But people really need to care more for their lawns and keep the drains clean!! God Bless ✝️
So many beautiful old brick houses abandoned in Detroit, what a shame the old part of the city isn't restored for the historical archaeological beauty. I remember when Detroit was still so nice.
I wonder if Post 10 has a Deputy system for all the newbies out there? Maybe Post 10 should start selling merch like ball caps with "Post 10" fan club?
can you have your camera person back up a little and get the puddle draining not just the vortex? he was so focused on the drain the whole vid. i would really appreciate that. thankl
I'm so ashamed of the home owners in this area all they would have to do is stop the car and clean the drain then no more flood well done to you dude keep up the good work
wrong , do you not understand when the water backs up it is from all around , that means its all contaminated water, so your " not even post 10" remark is rediculous
Homie with the slips on is gonna have some serious feet problems if he just keeps letting them soak in that nasty disgusting water. Get some boots man.
I'm proud you 2 thought of cleaning those that's what in Australia should do but I haven't Sean them doing it an they are very flooded Queensland Sydney etc so I'm pleased that you done that good thinking 99 proud
Great job & thx for ur hard work producing awesome content. Who would've thought that historic Detroit would be smart enough to place the catch basins in a separate area adjacent to the roadway?
Hey brother, good job. Just wanted to say, you might wanna be careful sticking your hand in dirty water like that. Never know what could be down them. Needles are always the biggest fear.
People think the sewer pipes are plugged, when it’s usually the grates. One year in 2018 I think, we were flooded in Dearborn. None of the sewer pumps were working. Horrible going to work for weeks.
Look at all those big houses, definitely a rich neighborhood, and none of the residents can’t clean the drains around their property? How utterly lazy!
wild to see so many folks in the comments summoning Post10. Be first, be daring, be different....he is, and look at him now. One day he will be a Jeopardy answer.
Hopefully someone from this neighbourhood will see this and take the hint to keep the drains clean. How hard is to keep leaves out of a drain. Why let it get this bad when it's so easy.
the real question is why do they have such crappy grates on the drains that a few leaves plug them up. Surely leaves are to be expected on street drains.
@@gorak9000 You are certainly right about that but if that's the only drain you have, stands to reason to keep them clear. A better alternative is definitely the answer but can you imagine the council of the area using money to change the system?
@@1toshi32 Oh yeah, the city will never spend money to change it unless people were phoning up the council people continually all day every day. And I agree, the people that live there could spend 30 seconds every week or every other week to rake the leaves off the drains. As a kid, I really used to enjoy cutting a channel in the ice for the water to flow in the spring and opening up the drain so it had somewhere to go, but oddly enough we never had a problem with leaves plugging the drain. Our drains went all the way up the roll curb, so even if the bottom of the drain was covered with leaves, it would flow over them into the more vertical part of the opening and still drain. And the city did sweep the street once a year in the spring. The way these drains are designed in that little bump out, the street sweeper wouldn't even get in there! Real brilliant design that one!
@@gorak9000 Where we live, we have long drains covered in grates and where the curb and gutters are, there is a long open area where the leaves and other garbage can go into. We never have the problems of leaves either. A much better system than what's shown here. I just keep our area clean by sweeping the gutters every now and again when I see that it needs it. Not because it needs to be cleared. Just because it looks really dirty. All our neighbour's water goes in there as well so I try to clean a bit further than just our area. Makes sense in the long run. Have a good one (Aussie for have a good day).
It does look like an affluent neighborhood. Surprised that the drains are not cleaned. I can only imagine what shape the ghettos are in, and Detroit has many.
the drains that are inset along the road they should get rid of the cover and just put a Cement top over the inlet .that would stop the clogging up of stuff ...
I very much like the way the drains are recessed from the road. It's so easy to see their location, and it also means it's far safer for a person to unblock the drain.
As well as safer for bikes pedestrians and drivers.
Thanks! My in-laws 2 blocks away from here. I drive past this street all the time. thanks for helping the older folks there
no problem. i do scope out the streets that have older residents to help them.
@@detroitdraingang5037keep up the good work
"also thanks for the donation" ffs
Nice job, way to help out the neighbors some who might be seniors, how fortunate they are to have the drains marked this way
You do that area proud guys. And Im happy that you can work these off the road. Stay well, stay safe.
You guys are awesome for taking the time to do this for the neighborhood! The people living next you appreciate you I bet!! Keep the good work up!

Nice job but it seems the neighbourhood is a lazy … they could help!
Post 10 has taught you well 💪 you just need a sturdier rake!
And a sturdy pair of gloves. Reaching into murky water to remove leaves, rubbish and other gunk makes me a little anxious. Risks: Dirty Syringes, broken glass, malicious traps.
And not sneakers lol
I believe that rake is perfect for these type of drains. Have you been watchinf??
This what we call a leaf rake in the Netherlands. That works great on heaps or clumps of leaves. So good choice!!
...and to blame every drainage clog on beavers
Glad to see someone who cares, then just complaining about the problem.
Dear James Young 4633. 3 million people, translated to Silicon Valley stipends, are "caring him back."
I used to do this as a kid the neighbours thought I was nuts! But we never got no floods! - TOP JOB SIRS!
I did the same thing!
having lived in Detroit when I was younger, seeing these neighborhoods brings me back. I now live on the west side of Michigan so still a Michigander at heart!
That was a redundant sentence

Watching the water drain is soothing. Like an exhale
get a bigger rake man

You do an amazing job. It just too bad the homeowners can’t help out a little.
When homeowners help we wouldn't get this content to watch
If the city doesn't have money and/or manpower to clean the clogged drains, can't the neighbors organize and clean their own drains?

It only takes a guy living on that street a minute to come out and do what you did. to bad there weren't more like you doing this.. Well done
It took this guy 10 min because he had to post it and get people to praise him. If people did things without trying to be recognized it would be better.
It also has an educational effect. A lot of people don't know how easy it can be to clear these up.
this guy has hit a goldmine for drain content
Nice to see that most of the debris was leafs and natural stuff and not piles of garbage.
I love the sound of water running into a drain.
"we all float down here georgie" is the first thing that came to my mind when I started this video 🤣🤣
I had to do this a few weeks ago. One side of the road was under a foot of water. Nobody was going to do anything either. It was that way for 3 days and took less than a minute to drain once the leaves were cleared

not my job. just doing what needs to be done
I am always surprised that the residents don't clear the drains. My Dad was always out clearing the ones near their home.
Fabulous work by you both. The drain design just seems destined to clog. Crazy!
Thank you for taking care of Detroit.
As a stormdrain and sewer main and watermain installer that design should be fixed by rounding out the curb to make it have better flow and less clogs
I wish you would record more of the water receding also, instead of just the drain
So many beautiful old brick houses abandoned in Detroit, what a shame the old part of the city isn't restored for the historical archaeological beauty. I remember when Detroit was still so nice.
I just found your videos keep up with the good work love watching you on RUclips God bless

Ey man, keep up the great work on these videos. Appreciate the work.
I think you need to ask for trash bags or a trash can it's all going to happen again if it's not cleaned up
Glad to see you’ve got a yellow raincoat for better visibility. Doing a great job. It’s too bad the city can’t help you out
The amount of hits for drain cleaning.
This it what the minds have come too, and I looked too.
The same boy who lost his ship has come back for IT and is now making him play his game.
I'm sure you've done this are before, nice to see the locals are maintaining it 🙄

Great job guys. Yall deserve an award from the city.
Thank you for helping our city.
Looks a lovely part of town ..... and those drains needed cleaning badly...... :)
Those look like very nice homes, and a pretty nieghborhood. I didnt know Detroit could have nice places. Everywhere ive been through there was aweful
Good job. Our streets use to do the same thing. 👍👍👍
So happy I found yall , love it fukn mad , stay awesome brother's 👌
thank u
Thankyou drain gangster
Hoping your assistant will get wellies soon

- thank you, you repaire my shower :D
Love the content. So relaxing for some weird reason lol I don't really bother watching post10 anymore because all he does is culverts.
Because there is snow where he lives! He will start doing drains again when it warms up.
I agree. Culverts sucks. I miss all the street draining he did all the time.
Good video. I'm glad you let the water do the talking.
I'm so ashamed of the home owners in this area all they would have to do is stop the car and clean the drain then no more flood well done to you dude keep up the good work
to be honest many of them are elderly. thats why im going out to help them
They might.. But leaves blow all over..
I'm ashamed of them too

Man i love to see this. Just keeping a neighborhood nice. Respect.
I love your videos and I can’t wait to see what you are going to do this summer
You are brave. Not even Post 10 would touch those drains with it being more raw sewage and used needles than anything else.
wrong , do you not understand when the water backs up it is from all around , that means its all contaminated water, so your " not even post 10" remark is rediculous
Yeah. That's the problem with drain grates. This is why I favor those open curb type drains.
Or a domed grate, since those are niched beyond the street at the curb.
Homie with the slips on is gonna have some serious feet problems if he just keeps letting them soak in that nasty disgusting water. Get some boots man.
Great people! Contributing to help the community is the best!

Very interesting designs on those houses, were they built 1900 -1920.

Gostei do vídeo. Senti falta de duas fotos: antes e depois do dreno.
Brasília, Brasil.
I do this on our street, chip ice in the drain when it’s clogged, too. I’m the only one who bothers. All our basements backup if I don’t 🤷🏼♀️
I appreciate you and your work
I'd like to see more wide-angel shots. I rather enjoy watching the road drain.
Just one person of the citizens of Detroit was so smart to bring a rake to the road. Thank you!
