Where's baby rat when you need him to sort that soakaway out. 🐀😁 Great vid as always. Hope you can get your van sorted soon. 👍 Been beautiful weather for the jobs recently.
that's what i was thinking!
Blocked drain! 😄

Not only drainage, but elevation can make a huge difference. My dad told me of a very good friend of his; her father had bought a plot of land in New Jersey decades ago, and built a house. He'd very carefully selected that specific plot over all the others available. When Hurricane Sandy flattened and flooded NJ, her house (after her father had passed, she'd inherited it) was the only one on the block that wasn't flooded; why? Because the patch of land the house sat on was _one foot higher_ than all the rest; they had flooded basements and first floors, and she was cozy and dry, snug as a bug, because her father had been a very smart cookie~
That reminds me of Gold Shaw Farm was talking about in a recent video. He said so many people buy a plot of long and can't wait to break ground on big ideas. He sat on the land for a whole year to see how the seasons and rain affected the land. He does get a big snow run off pool at the lowest point, but he knew where it would be and planned around it.
Shoddy building work from whoever laid the patio without proper drainage. Great transformation Sid as always. Hope that you get your own van back soon.
Just a suggestion: use a leaf blower to blow the water in the direction you need instead of water. It is just as efficient and does not contribute to the problem of flooding.
There is something special coming home from a shitty day at the office working with IT to watching pressure washing videos..... God I miss working outdoors
This definitely gives me things (drainage, and looking more in-depth into doing it correctly) to think about when it comes to designing my eventual cottage...and also re-thinking how to deal with my current house. Thank you, Sid, for all that you do!
My family did think about it. But, the village has repaved the road out in front so many times and increasing its height, that rainwater now goes over the curb, into the yard, and for really bad rains, into the cellar. :(
Glad it was helpful!
@@Ddrhl Is there any way to approach the village for a remedy? I know my home village (in Michigan) was horrible about clearing out a creek (fallen trees, overgrowth of vines/weeds,) even though it was supposed to be paid for as part of village taxes, but *eventually* after a really bad flood and actual threats of multiple lawsuits, the village finally got the work done. Are there neighbors also having the same problem, that your family can get with, to approach the village? I will hope for the best for y'all.
In Germany property owners have to pay a "rain water drain tax". Any space that is not earth, and that includes roofs, is taxed, as the water flows into the council drains. So quite a few people have torn up their paved parking spaces again. My sister lives on a farm, and they have an ancient cobbled yard, so the water can drain away easily between the stones, but the council wanted to charge them, and they had a long dispute. My brother in law dug a new drainage which leads to a ditch along their land, which was a compromise.
Wow. They will tax anything these days.
Water companies in the UK charge for surface and roof drainage, it's a fixed charge though. It is possible to avoid paying this charge if there are no sewage connected drains for surface or roof water.
@@beknic8872 - In Ventura, CA, USA, the city (did or tried to) imposed a "View" tax on people that had nice views from their property! There are some 1M+ homes that set on canals with boat docks. They were up in arms about it, not sure how it turned out. But really. Your already pay over the homes value for the view + annual taxes that go up every year. This tax was on top of that!!!!
Our cancel tax is now 150 pounds a month
Looks like a badly constructed drive an gully, but nobody apart from myself by where I live ever cleans them out, that’s why they have to call you guys in.
Another good video.
Hello Sid, I wanted to say this already on the last video: have you thought about using a weed wire-cutter machine/trimmer to trim the grass precisely at the border of the pavement? (Spinning vertically)
You could also use a square flat-headed shovel to quickly remove patches of grass on pavement. On this video I saw you use your hands. (Hands are precious)
Just saying this in comparison to other videos I recently saw about landscaping.
The other thing is, in my job (software testing) I rarely get a "job well done" and I do not really have "customers". You have no idea how great I felt about you when you said "customer thought I did not charge him enough" or when you show us in your videos that the customer was very happy about your work. Positive feedback is so rewarding and motivating ! So, I am very glad for you and thank you very much for sharing those moments. Cheering for you !
yeah i do have one but kev had the van at the other job so just had my bare hands on this one :D
Would you add to the price quote for poor drainage? It adds to the job, so it would make sense. Another great job Sid and Kev. Looking forward to the next one.
yeah if i spot anything concerning definitely, 90% of the time i just have a quick glance and presume the drains fine... silly me when will i learn :D
Thank goodness for the shop vac! Turned out great!😊
This remind me of a video you did a year ago. You cleaned a driveway that had very poor drainage. You were still getting yourself established as you had your old pressure washer and you didn't have the big wet vac to suck up the water. The job looked great when it was done as did this one.
Watching you do this job makes me think you need something like a portable drainage channel that you can lay at the lowest point and attach a pump to pump it out into the road. I don't know if anything like that exists.
That gutter vac is amazing. You'd be there all day scooping out water. Watching thep00lguy clean out some mucky sludge, he could really use it too. It'd be awesome to see the two of you colab on a clean up project. The last full video he put up, the decking was a beautiful stone that could've used your attention.
New to channel n enjoying it.
Makes you think twice re new builds etc with the crappy drainage n future damp problems.
By the time you notice big issues like these the builders are well gone.
Good job.x
Forever having this problem, you make it look to easy 😂👍. Great job 👏
haha can you tell my mood got worse throughout the day xD
Nice one sid and kev. Such clean workers. And proffetional 👍👍
well done Sid & helper, great job as always x
The driveway took so long Sid aged 6:38
Hhaha xD
💗Awesome work
Customer asking you to start on the FRONT, was a good free advertising for you. Because it's CLEAN and Pretty and your Truck looks like a bill board..
See my work LIVE!.
Cool Customer
I love that VW van !!!
LOVE your pressure washing videos! You’re the BEST! 🥰❤️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Amazing Result Sid👌👌👌
Great job Sid an Kev looking good have a day love from TEXAS
Great job! Keep it up man❤️
thanks ben!
No way! You gave Ollie a shout out! All good!!!!!!
kinda strange question.. what do you do with all the left over mud and sludge from a job like this? do you dispose of it somewhere and if so, where?
Good job!
You must have been tearing your hair out with that drainage but a great job when you’d finished 🤩👍
Amazing work and thanks for sharing this with us take care
Thank you! Cheers!
@@PartridgeExteriorCleaning You’re welcome mate. Hope you and all family are doing well 👍🏻
Well done.
What a nightmare BUT you did so well! Well done xx
Well done Sid, having to deal with major drainage issues like that must be a bit of a nightmare 👍😆
OMG, we can learn so much from these videos 🙈🙈🙈
Hope the owners can get the drainage sorted properly. This is nice now, because there’s just a little bit of water. But what happens when there’s a major storm? Hope all will be corrected and prevent big problems.
Great work 😋
Thanks 😁
That’s a bloody good hoover that mate
Good job sid.✌🏿✌🏿✌🏿
thanks buddy!
need top put aqua drains round the house end up with damp problems need put a new soakaway in 👍 nice clean job 👍
Excellent clean up Sid and Kev, I'm trying to keep my internet on but the rain/snow storm I had last night really messed things up around here, bad enough that my power lines are hanging low over the road and one semi truck has already slapped the wires that I heard it in the house lol, at least I have got a generator going because almost the whole way to the next town doesn't have electricity
Holy 🤬! Stay safe & warm!
@@gigibluestockings5168 I'm staying as, got a generator running outside so the furnace is working
Sorry to hear that stay safe!!
Love what you do, and you will never work a day. Thx for the feel good videos. What area is that? All the best from sunny SA.
It's so amazing how you put it in your all to whatever job you get and never stop to surprise us with your videos!!
THANK YOU!
@@PartridgeExteriorCleaning 🖤
I noticed your wand has directional spraying. It was running counterclockwise which would make the water splash back. On a drain situation you might want to reverse that so it would not splash back but go forward again. Just thought
Looks like you could have done with that 6 x wide nozzle broom on wheels attachment to sweep the water/debris away up and out the driveway where its easier to collect and dispose of.
LOL I see the solution right there, Sid. Open the manhole, bye-bye water.
That’s what I always do. 👍🏻
I can't understand why so many of these driveways have poor drains. It's not like the UK isn't renowned for it's rain.
Lazy/poor knowledge. British standard is a fall of 1:60 towards a drain. I BELIEVE that's the case, not 100%
They just put up with the large puddles, something for the kids to jump up and down in 😝
seems the people who advertise themselves as being able to do block paving dont know anything about it beyond how to lay bricks flat. and even then it seems a lot of them dont even know that much. drainage is something youd have to actually study up on a bit to know how to do it. and most of them dont care. if the customer just says they want a block driveway, they give them a block driveway.
Yet another great video. As a matter of interest, what psi did you use for this one and do you vary it dependant of job? Cheers from Australia
Nice job mate I guess one good thing is at least you don't have a 21 liter per min machine.
Hiya mate after a new turbo lance/nozzle any you can recommend the one you use in this looks quality is it branded??
I was watching an older video with Kevin and I think he has lost a bit of weight. Good for him
Hi mate, your videos are very helpful. What do you do about waste/silt etc when pressure washing? Do you leave it with the customer or dispose of it yourself? Cheers, Joe
Where did you get the long turbo lance and gun from please and do u use a 065 or a 070 nozel on the turbo
Jes that drive need lifting and relaying
Hi Sid, great job again as always! As a fellow in the trade, out of interest how do you dispose of the old sand/slop? Does is classify as green waste?
if I can remember well. Sid mentioned that he left it with the costumers. ether in there bin or sometimes in the garden it self.
its mostly mud really so any sand in there is well disguised in the green waste (:
Yewwww so excited another vid is here!!
Legend!
What a difference I hate drainage issues bloody nightmare
Post notification gang
oi lets go!
What type of nossle is that? Would you know of one for a karcher K2
Should have left your Aqua vac pipe in the garage drain? 🤔
Maybe invest in a medium sized pump with a long pipe for this sort of thing? 🤔
Sorry commented before the video finished!! 😃
Get yourself some drain rods mate, would come in handy for jobs like this
My bad , just heard you say its a soak away
What pressure washer are you using?
hey buddy! do you have any links to your equipment??
Theres so much from different suppleirs mate but machine is from spinaclean, nozzles are from Rutland pumps, Lance and hose from AC Pressure washers, i think thats most of it!
How comes you prefer to use the turbo nozzle on the whole drive rather than a fsc?
I have a Karcher with different nozzles. One of them is a rotating nozzle. After a couply of hours pressure washing my hand feels numb because the vibrations. You got the same issue?

Those bricks came up beautifully but what a terrible job it must've been. That house certainly doesn't comply with building regulations 🤔. You even did a spot of gardening for them along the driveway edges 😂.
Do neither of those access covers lead to foul drains? I'd have asked the home-owner to lift one.. and then tried v hard not to fall down it (obviously don't shove the moss/debris down there, but hte water should be fine).
You selling your machine when you get the new one? Would be interested 🔥
Hello! I really like your videos. Just a quick question though. Doesn't the high pressure damage the stone which makes the moss etc come back even quicker?
He regularly adjusts the amount of pressure and tools to "match" the surface being cleaned.
@@catstreat9434 Thank you!
@@e.7490
This depends on each type of surface he’s cleaning.
On these stones it shouldn’t be a problem if the pressure is well adjusted.
But especially on softer sand stone it can affect the surface which would lead to more corrosion/moss grow/dirt.
That is insane! How could they ever pass a drainage inspection.
Good grief.... This reminds me of all the vacuuming I had to do in my basement before I got French drains installed to fix the flooding. Consistently entire shop-vac buckets worth of water sucked up from the floor... I do not envy you at all, my good sir.
You needed water wings in the back there Sid 😄. I'm sure you're glad to move on.
I'm gonna throw it out there again. Extraction/recovery vacuum. IPC Eagle is (an expensive) one, or just get a shop vac and buy the Ridgid drain plug transfer pump. It will keep any water from pooling, and you can transfer / squirt the water wherever you want it to go, up hill 50 meters if you like. Worth every penny in saved man hours on jobs like these.
Some local bylaws in US states do not allow water from pressure washing to flow into the sewer so contractors have to use water capture/containment systems. This is usually a water curtain of some type that traps water at the low point and a pump sucks water into a capture container. Might be something to think about if you haven’t already
Well he isn’t in the US so ig it doesn’t matter for him
@@mnecraftnoobpvp6313 Not really the point of my response!
@@DJWerkz well why would he go to all that effort of buying new equipment and having an extra job to do (dispose of the water somewhere) when it would be a lot easier for him to just push it down a drain (normally) or in this case just hoover it up
@@mnecraftnoobpvp6313 you must be playing too many childish games with a name like minecraft to understand the original message regarding water curtains! Plus if you are a professional running a business you purchase the equipment needed if it helps you stand out from the competition (that's called a USP in case you didn't know). I am originally from the UK and water curtains have been used for decades there where there is bad drainage.
@@DJWerkz you have too many chins to have the aerobic capacity to stand up for more than 5 minutes so I doubt you speak from experience of pressure washing either 🤡 🍔🍔
👍
That was a battle and a half. I assume you are not allowed to open the manhole in the drive or is it just tools and them not being on temp van?
It’s more of a case of neighbours watching and getting concerned as they make thing we’d be shoving mud down there. That part of the drive wasn’t hard anyway really it was just the stretch by the garage and the back 😩
any news on your van mate
was inspected today so now i just wait i guess, sick of waiting ):
Sweeping all that crud into the gutter will block the street drains. Poor old “Post 10” will have an aneurysm… 😂
We push it to the road side and clean it up from there, nothing but water goes into the drain
Should have your mate do the pressure washing all the time he moves faster than you Sid.😂😂
:D haha
Like Sheldon says in The Big Bang Theory “Oh Gravity, Thou art a heartless b!$#h”. I really feel your pain on this job you did a marvellous job and rose to the challenge 💪🏼
Way to crack on mate!!
Even if they'd dig a slight trench just off thev pavers in the grass it would help. Bad pitch plus grass that's higher than the patio ... ugh I'd not even attempt thar job.
Hola
Who on earth would build a driveway with the pitch running towards the house. madness
BONUS FOR YOU: NO drainage issue on this project!!!!!!
I would have stuck the pressure wand down into the drain hole to dislodge the blockage….
My partner claimed your background music sounded like a porn film and wanted to know what I was watching. He certainly wasn’t expecting it to be power washing.
It's so annoying when there is no proper drainage built in! It's also why it gets so dirty and moldy in the first place. I'd pick up a few of the pavers at the low spot to allow for drainage ...but then again I'd probably get sued for doing so.
A 3d printer part that would fit in your vacuum and sit in the corner while you were cleaning would have helped.
What kind of tip is that ..thats spinning tip
do people ever think Kevin (is it Kevin?) is the boss?
haha yeah sometimes :D
I am probably the opposite of everyone else.but l only like the speeded up pressure washing. l fast forward now
Suggest
Selling that house will be a nightmare until it's fixed. Have you ever turned down a job because the drainage is so bad that it's not really viable?
Ahhh, they should be hiring a plumber to sort the drainage before employing you.
How much u charge for that mate ??💸💸💸💸
To bad he didn’t make all of that permeable pavement especially since the slope was going the wrong direction.
Priorities eh, massive hot tub, no drainage. A fool and his money are easily parted, they should really be spending money on the things that matter. But hey, looks fine from my house 🙃
Contractors who lay drives without sorting drainage should be held to account. It’s such bad practice.
