    My guess is that the caravan has crushed the pipe on either side where the tyres are. Maybe even broken the pipe the all the mud you are getting is causing a sink hole under the caravan.

    • @penetratorblockeddrains

      I was thinking he same. Once that water changed colour like it did.
      I think the pipe is crushed and broken.

    Hi Gavin. We both live in Australia, the driest continent on the planet. Please, please, please when you are checking your nozzles can you do it over the grass/ garden. The bitumen doesn't need watering. I know that down the side of a house etc. you might not be able to but where you can, please try. Just thinking of the planet. Best wishes, Sue from Adelaide.

    Good morning Gavin, been through some losses in my life and slowly bouncing back. Question, how do you charge for these investigations, is it flat rate or by the hour?

    • @penetratorblockeddrains
      @penetratorblockeddrains  2 года назад +21

      Hopefully things pick up for ya mate.
      I have a min charge and then have charges after that. You can’t see under ground and really don’t always know what the out come will be.
      I say-my goal is to clear your drain and get it flowing, if that fails I want to locate the problem area and give you the solutions and information moving forward.

    You are my drain go to for videos. You and DA. I lean more to you for overall professionalism. I look to DA for some really crappy situations. He ends up under houses emptying pipes full of excrement. Comes out covered in crap. I’d make him strip outside and have a washing machine in the garage for him. You do a great job of clearing some awful clogs and roots and compressed pipes without getting a ton of crud on you, which I’m sure your beautiful wife appreciates. I always stripped in the garage when I worked in critical care and ER because I ran a lot of the emergency codes and often came home with a variety of body fluids on my uniform. I didn’t want to drag it through the house. I had to stop wearing contact lenses because of eye infections from aerosolized fluids. I get grossed out when I see dirt, mud, and excrement exploding on you Aussie guys.

      Something different. I do a lot of drains I don’t upload because it could be a cctv investigation or one like this. I just want to show more of the work I do and how I find problems for people. We have no plans to go from and it’s all experience and problem solving. This one was simple. The customer will dig it himself and repair he said. I just warned him to watch out for the water and telecommunications as it all comes in that side and you have palm roots everywhere hahaha

    I had suspected tree roots the first time you put the nozzle in. And a high chance that the pipe was squashed. Possibly the caravan played a part in squashing the pipe

    I am betting squashed pipe with some root. I think if it were just root, there wouldn't be all that dirty water coming out. That's if I have learned anything from watching so many of your videos. What grade do I get professor? :)

      It wasn’t going to make a video then before I deleted it all from the gro pro I thought let me see. Not all blocked drains make videos. Some are straight cctv and location and other could be an investigation and isolating the problems as it can’t be cleared. I really want to show the channel all the different types of drains I come across and not just the cool ones that unblock. I did a really challenging storm water cctv and locate the other day. But no video as Im not sure if people will like it. Hope that make sense it’s 5:50am and I’m still not awake lol..
