    How friging cool is that.
    Probably one of the reasons I'm a plumbing and heating engineer.

    I'm from North Carolina in US. I for some reason addicted to this channel. I asked my husband if we could have roots in ours. He said our pipes were under the house. We do have septic and a drain fill. When we moved here we cut several big trees down. Anyway just babbling. Southerners seem to do that. Love you....ever get to NC look me up.

  • @hestheMaster
    @hestheMaster 2 года назад +9

    In the states we have the ability to put in what is know as a backflow preventer. It goes from the large cistern to the street connection and keeps water from the street getting into your home. This is important if you have a basement and a high
    water table because days of rain will cause a big flood issue into your home. Of course you still have to keep your drains
    clear of roots and the like. Congrats on cleaning out the lady's backyard pool Gav. Might come back with the camera.

    I love when family and friends call me with a blocked sewer pipe or drain line. Most people don't have a clue what is underground. They don't understand how there sewer lines in the house work or wich one is sewer. I have with there help dug 4ft deep trenches on there private property. Replacing with PVC. When working for gas utility I loved to dig by hand and still do I'm 60. They are surprised about location of underground sewer line and location of problem. Most lawn repairs take 2 days and I pride myself on people not knowing where the trench was. Average private property repair 5k to 7k. Friends and family feed me and make sure water and coffee are a call away. I believe 1 day I'll get a favor from them in return

    Incredible video for one thing getting wet because of the flooding conditions in the yard and then raining on top of that. See it on the videos one thing but to actually be there and doing that I cannot even imagine. You are a lifesaver for a client, if it would be me I would be panicking. Hopefully when you run the camera down it’s just a bunch of roots and you can fix it for them. Great job on a rainy day.

    Those tip cleaners are generally used on oxyacetylene torches but they also work good on shower heads when you have hard water and minerals start to build up around the orifices and start closing them off. I do my shower head every few months just to keep it spraying good.

You are far more particular as to making sure that all associated pipes are jetted to be sure things are properly cleaned and blockages removed, not just the 'pipe from the particular blocked toilet'. Keep up the good work and be carefull in this latest lot of rain. All the best from Mum in Adelaide. ✋✋✋✋

    You could throw some dye down the pipe on a better, drier, day and work out which outlet it is out in the street. It might be time to make a major capital investment in a new set of tip cleaners even 2 sets. Cig or Repco will have them. I'm a mechanic and we use them for cleaning out windscreen wiper nozzles when they are blocked. You can never find wire thin enough . Awesome vid and 10 points for persistence.
