Blocked drain. The mother load.

Blocked drain. The mother load. #cloggeddrain
Customer was complaining of a blocked toilet. The toilet had to be removed because there was no access through manhole.
we went in with the flex shaft to remove a lot of wet wipes that had staged inside a misaligned drain run, camera inspection revealed damage, the customer is pondering the way forward. I think it needs a radial patch repair as minimum.
enjoy the vid and say hello in the comments.

Wet wipes. Half a modern plumber’s income!

[@Nick_1072]

Every drain clearance company should buy shares in wet wipe producers 👍🏻

[@bobbelsekwol]

Im a gardener and even I clear some peoples drains. Wet wipes? You keep shoving them down, I'll keep charging you. Some people don't learn, or even want to learn.

[@ABuller2]

Wow! I am speechless. What a load of wipes! 😮. Great job!

[@drain-unblocker]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@janetsteingold-yt1xu]

The wet wipe express coming through! I hope this client is not in wet wipe denial! Cause she’s gonna look very silly

Wow, you are correct Tony. "Good thing we don't have smellavison".

He wasn't to keen on doing the repairs

[@sethwiedeman1799]

Tony lots of wet wipes don't people understand wet wipes are not suppose to go down the drain. Very good job mate keep safe 👍👍👍👍👍👍

Cheers mate

[@cheryleking6543]

Hi Tony x2, Lots of wipes..That was a big crack in the pipe, no wonder they were getting caught. People please dont use wipes..Stay Safe from a Tasmanian Fan ❤️🙏👍🤗

[@drain-unblocker]

Hi Cheryle yes it will definitely block again if it's not repaired

[@drainsareusltd]

nice patch job to come

[@ellymommabear]

Amazing job! Side note i cringe when fishing out scraps from the sink, i dont think i could pick chocolate towels from the chain!

[@drain-unblocker]

Lol it was a bit grim

[@conniehiday5092]

Hello Tony, Good job ! Have a good week.

[@drain-unblocker]

Thanks, you too!

[@paulamoor3098]

when the customer sees the mountain of wipes you get out, do they ever say anything? like oh, opps...

[@drain-unblocker]

There is often a stunned silence lol

[@paulamoor3098]

Good job Tony

Thanks Gary

[@jasonlaw1969]

A patch should fix that

[@Doug....]

That was some haul there mate. Don't think he could have used the well worn phrase " we don't use wet wipes" 🤣

[@drain-unblocker]

Ha ha 😀

[@lilianavidela7121]

solo espero que puedan traducir lo que les comento y sirva para algo bueno. No es crítica dañina, solo por su bien y su familia; deberían usar un calzado seguro, impermeable, para empezar, NO ZAPATILLAS. unas media -manga de plástico o guantes largos para proteger su ropa de posibles salpicaduras en los puños y antebrazos, quizás sea mucho, pero la seguridad ante todo. Yo se de un cazo, no lo afectó a él, sino a su esposa que lavó las ropas; y tan solo por eso murió por una hepatitis fulminante. Suerte y la mejor de las ondas

Fair comments I agree 100% cheers God bless

[@silva1950]

Another interesting one Tony. Is that toilet on an exterior wall or adjacent to another room? Could be a big job.

[@jamiekatz7591]

I think a re-line could take care of it

[@drain-unblocker]

It is on an exterior wall but can only be accessed from inside the house

[@user-tj9sq8nl7n]

Wet wipes-
Job security
😒
Put them in a pile on the floor and make them bag and bin them. 😉

[@drain-unblocker]

I don't mind mate it was an elderly customer.

[@frankish5314]

So could you not do a patch at the 0.75m "trough" and (with avoiding wet wipes) call it good?

[@drain-unblocker]

Customer is not having any repairs done.

[@frankish5314]

@@drain-unblocker Well avoid wet wipes and double flushing might see them right..:)

[@cerithomas2032]

How/where do u dispose of the contents in the bucket ?

[@drain-unblocker]

Bagged x2 and binned in mixed refuse. Not classed as hazardous waste. Cheers

[@cerithomas2032]

That's interesting , thanks .

[@Sandra-dm8rd]

That was a disgusting bunch of wipes. People just stop.

[@pauldurkee4764]

Watching these videos, its a difficult one regarding wipes because people don't listen, either put an environmental tax on non biodegradable wipes, or I don't see why they can't make them out of plant fibres.

[@drain-unblocker]

Wow great idea re plant fibre

[@pgree6176]

Nettles?

[@pauldurkee4764]

@@pgree6176
Nettle fibre or possibly bamboo.

Make them out of 100 grit sandpaper - people will only use them once. 😵😵
