EASIEST Way To Clear A Sewer Blockage -- This Should Be In Your Toolbox
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 23 сен 2021
- I want to show you the easiest way to clear a sewer blockage that I've ever come across. Owning multiple income properties, I have come across my fair share of sewer backups and blockages. Oddly enough, a friendly Roto-Rooter employee showed me the bladder method for clearing blockages. I'm here to say that I've cleared 30-40 blockages using a bladder. This has saved me thousands of dollars over time and should be in your toolbox. It's fast, easy and cheap to use, and will work over and over again.

Tried this today and it removed the blockage in my main line! Professional company wasn't able to remove the blockage a week ago and still charged me 700$ and was pressuring me to get them to dig a whole new leach field.
Thank you for this video!
I am a plumber of 43 years and have use these a half dozen times with great results.
Thank you for the comment!!!
Bought 1 for $10 at harbor freight and I was done in 30mins unclogging the main line. Thanks a lot
You're welcome!!!
I used a rag towel to hold the hose onto the sewer line,and let the water pressure to do the job. Same mechanism,and it works.
Praise Jesus. It worked 💪. I bought a drain bladder from a local hardware store. Returned home to insert the bladder into sewer pipe. It worked. The most difficult part was ensuring the bladder is routed toward the sewer instead of back into the house
This work for me today. I put a metal string inside the water hose so I could bend the pipe to the shape that I need and it was easy job.
Thank you for this wonderful demonstration!
This is exactly what i was looking for! Thanks for making the video. I just ordered it from Amazon.
Wow sir, I cannot thank you enough, had a clogged house trap on a very old home. You’re a lifesaver, had no idea this existed…. You’ve got a new subscriber!!!
Thanks for the comment!!!
Life saver. Have used one several times
Ty and God bless you! Worked on my septic field line!
wow, 51 years old and never seen one. Thaank you so much. You are the coolest.
This is the video that keeps on giving. Great explanation and demonstration. Thank you so much.
I'm glad you found it helpful!!
You can also, with great care, use this to find the location of the blockage but you must have extra people to monitor the kitchen and bathrooms when you do this. Great video!
You just saved me $500!!!!!!! tried a manual snake then ran to lowes after watching this video 30 mins later all clear!!!!! THANK YOU
Good deal!!!
Awesome video, did this wrong 3 years ago, got the bladder stuck, snaked every 6 months since until today. Line is clear. It worked perfectly!!!😊
These bladders are great and should be in every tool box.
Small and medium cover almost all pipe sizes.
Thank you for this great information.❤
Yes it does works great, we have one of this at the carwash we used so many times it really save alot time and money...
I wanted to come back on here and say that this is worthy every penny!!!!! I seen this video last week and the plumber wouldnt ever return my call. So I went to amazon to give this a try. Cost me 16 bucks! Anyways I've had bad issues with clogs for years at this house I rent. The bladder showed up today and I set it all up put it in about 2 feet and let it run for 10 mins boom!!! No more clog. No more tub filling up with water or toilet not wanting to hardly flush! Buy it!!!! What we would go days dealing with waiting for a plumber this took 10mins
Thanks for the comment
It worked for me!! A $10 Harbor Freight investment just saved me a $600 plumber bill. Thanks!!
Thanks for leaving a comment
Just happens I saw the harbor freight genuine Chinesium model & wondering if they are any good vs the likely imports from HD or Lowes.
Wow, you just saved us $300. Worked like magic. THANK YOU!
Thanks I was working in the main line for hours trying to get it unclogged! Went and got the bladder took couple minutes and was clear! Thank you!!!!
Just had a clogged main line. This thing worked fantastic. Thanks!
Thanks for the comment
Ive used it many times. Very effective. Particularly good for TP jams. A note on the comments. The pressure isnt that intense to cause damage. If it become detached it deflates and a router rooter can clear it
As a plumber that has and still uses these from time to time for minor blockages mainly cleaning residual debris after the line is cleared with a cable. If you put this in a pipe in your home or any building if it doesn't clear all the water will backfeed from that open pipe and come out all over your floor.
I’ve always made sure it passed the vent line and always recommend pulse it on for 10-20 seconds checking the main clean for signs of water being pushed through if none then cable get ran
Yum yum
So I have a clean out right in front of my porch. I’m backed up on the house side. I’m currently snaking it with a 1/2 inch cable to no avail. I’ve been told to use this pressure water bag. Should I and how would I do it since the clog is somewhere between my house and the clean out? Any info at all would be appreciated
@Rich Well when you look down the cleanout is there water in the pipe. Also how long is you cable do you know
@@Allintn22 Nope, clean out is clear. It’s a clog on the house side of the clean out for sure. I bought the vevor 75ft 1/2inch machine.
It works! The plumber quoted $185. I bought this attachment at lowes for $21. It was simple and easy. Took me less than 10 minutes.
Good deal
Yep, I've bought the big one and the smaller one for kitchen drains. I've probably saved thousand's of dollars. This thing is a life-saver! Very good info!
Hi Derek.
I have a couple questions about using a smaller one in kitchen drains. Could i message you?
Thanks!
@@randyjellen4938 Only thing is if it breaks... you really need the plumer
Thank you! You saved me a lot of money! It worked!
Yes show us the small one for inside the house use please.
Thank you this worked famously. I wish I would have tried this sooner I would’ve saved allot of money.
Great explanation and demonstration! It worked for me.
Thanks for the comment!!!
This saved me so much money, thank you!
Glad to help!!!
Used this thing today because I had a clog and can’t believe how simple that was to do! Thank you for the tip! Saved me a couple hundred dollars for sure by spending twenty bucks. Best twenty bucks spent ever!
Good deal!!
Yes that cheap tool can work very good! I just had my kitchen drain clear last week after trying other methods. :-)
You just saved me $350. Canceled the roto rooter guy. Unplugged main in 5 minutes.
Good Job!!!
Yes show us the small one for inside the house usage, please. Great info!
I second this request!
@@carlo.738 i did it in house you just find a horizontal clean out access and stick in 6 inches and let er rip
I third this request!
Fourth!!!
lots more homeowners than plumbers out there. Show it.
Thank you so much. Total life saver.
Came across your vid and gave this a try. A quick trip to homedepot and 20bucks later, my problem was solved! Thanx for taking the time to make this post. It worked for me. Main sewage line was clogged. Plunger and 6ft auger deal wasn’t getting it. This little thing here did the trick. Only took about 5-10mins. Back in business and probably saved a couple hundred bucks having to call a plumber.
Glad to help
Thank you so much! We thought we were going to need a plumber. Took your advice and the problem was resolved
Good deal
Thank you sir....i did what u said....and it blew the blockage rite out.....i even still ran shower water and flushed toilets...and went back outside to check the mail line....i water was tunning it easy down the line...thank u again....i hope u get a million likes and subscribes
Good deal and thank you for the comment
We woke up to the exact situation today. The video was perfect and we had the tool on hand already after having a similar problem I the past. Perfect instruction. Thank you so much.
You are very welcome
Thank you, definitely got me out of a jam quickly and it was inexpensive!
Very informative video. Congrats
Thanks so much for this video as this item worked for me on the first go!!! I recommend having one at the house as it saved HUNDREDS..!!!
Good deal
Tremendous.. I have a septic tank far away from my house and the clean out is near the house, but so far it appears clear. Still doing the water flush out and looks like the coast is clear. Thanks a million!!!
Happy to help
Great video, Thank you for this!
I used this today method today after watching your video, it worked fine for me. Thank you
Thanks for the comment
thank you so much!! my boss literally has this thing and she is on vacation i KNEW she used that black thing for the drains now i can learn on my own!
Glad to help. Thanks for the comment
Thank You, Thank YOU‼️ Roto Rooter Quoted $12k, But Could Do A Temporary Fix For $1.5k. My Brother, Had Me Rent A 50 Ft Snake And Buy The Bladder Set. I Can't Stop Crying, This Worked Great ❤ I've Shared Your Video With Everyone‼️May God Bless You Forever‼️
Most of the big name plumbing/rooting companies in my area are literally thieves. $300 job and they will quote thousands up to $20,000. Whatever they think you are stupid enough to pay.
Thank you for the video. I used one of these bladders today to unclog a sewage drain going from the house to the septic. It (the bladder) did its job efficiently. I am rather unskilled when using tools of any sort. Your video was spot on in the usage of the bladder. Best to you. Happy Holidays to you and yours.
Glad to help!!!
Did you go through the trap? Was it cast-iron?
@@TheJrm1111 I went through the main drain pipe, almost at the 3/4 way from the septic tank. The device worked great.
Of recently borescope digital cameras have come down in price. We are talking less than $100. They often had a reach
of about 16 feet and some connect to a Smartphone or to a dedicated 5 inch display. It will allow you confirm a blockage
is gone or some other problem like a cracked pipe which allows roots and other things inside the line. But the expansion
bladder does pay for itself in one unclogging. Use it FIRST before sending a camera down the drain and don't use an old
bladder because rubber dry rots even after a few years .
Great video brother! 👍
Helpful and very clear. Thank you.
You're welcome
I'm a septic pumper used this few times good video
Just picked up a Kobolt one from Lowes while waiting for a plumber and it worked like a champ. Not bad for $20 and saved my at least a couple of $100. Thanks for the video.
Glad to help
Spent $250 to clear out a septic clog with snake. Next day it’s still clogged and backing up bathrooms in house again. Going to try this bladder myself!!
They work great, they even work in RV's. I suggest a 4-6' hose with a cut-off valve to put on the end of the main hose and use only it for sewers, that way you don't get your big expensive hose in the shit and you can work this with one person because you don't want it popping out when you turn the hose on which can happen if you don't do it properly.
Work like charm some people's call bladders move below joint so won't blow or split pipe got keep eye on it once seal inside it start pushing it VERY powerful
As someone who spent 2 years as a service plumber and is actively working at a hydro jetting company these tools, while effective, are incredibly situational and usually are only effective if they are used at a access location where there is no other tie ins or vents between the insertion and blockage if there are other tie ins or vents there is a very real risk of flooding via the tie in or vent
Have you ever seen them work on drain tile blockage near the sump pump?
wow!!!!! 2 whole years???? lmao
@@stevetravels6160 : two years is Certainly enough time to see damage done, if that’s all you’re doing every day.
Just because it’s not 20 years, doesn’t mean he doesn’t know what he’s talking about.
And the physics does add up.
@@stevetravels6160don’t be that guy
The sewage bladder works great it work well ty
Yes!! I went to Home Depot and bought a drain blatter and it completely worked! It took about 3 tries at different distances down in pipe, god sent tool, can’t thank this video enough for informing me about this amazing tool! Thank you!!!!!
Good deal. Thank you for watching!!!
Wow, I’d never heard of these before! Just ordered one from Amazon, thanks!
You're welcome
Thank you for this video! I couldn’t get anyone out so I started to research myself. I found this video, went to Lowe’s and bought the bladder. I put it in for about 3 mins and cleared my line.
Thanks for the comment
You saved me $400, I got the Cobra 4-6 in. from Ace hardware, tried twice, and everything is clear! Thanks again!
Glad to help
very helpful. Thank you so much.
thank u so much! i was thinking to use the hose with the extension for pressure....
Great video.
There were 2 sizes @ Home Depot.
I got the larger size.
The small one was rather small.
Hope I got the right-sized one.
Thank u , please show us inside the house demonstrations too.
Thank u
It worked! It was late Sat evening and the toilets didn't flush and the showers were filling up with vile stuff. Went to Home Depot at 9:30pm and bought the thing $24 - came home and tried it. Within 3 minutes main drain was flowing normally! The plumbing company wanted $250 to come out + repair cost.
Glad to help
Where did you put it thru ? Did you remove toilet and do toilet drain ?
Love all the plumbers in here telling everyone it won't work just spend the $$$ for them to come out, lol. Similar to mechanics mechanics that want you to think you can't do any work on your car without them or hair dressers that tell you cant possibly color you hair at home properly. This is worth a try I just wouldn't turn on the water full blast to start.
Bro!!! Thank you SO much for this video!! It worked like a charm!! Got my large bladder for $10 vs $250 for Roto Rooter. Amazing!!!
Awesome, thanks for the comment
Hi. Yes, could you make a video for the smaller one?
Thank you!
Mine was a straight pipe almost to the end of the sewer line, where the city would have been responsible, and it worked like a charm. As others have said, can't work on everything but where it will work, it works.
Money saved! Thanks man
Thank you so much I saved so much money this time WOW!!! 😊
Good deal!!!
this is amazing, how is it possible that I've never seen this before?
I don't have a sewage line for a septic tank, but I was curious to watch. Nice to see a calm common sense person doing a video. Thanks for the vid.
Would work on most main lines. Doesn’t have to be a septic system.
I know my Harbor Freight one worked like a charm.
I had a very smaller version of this one and omg it worked wonders for my bathroom sink and now I have a block and a snake but going to the hardware store for another bladder cuz my mom stole mine, lol.
Thanks very much for your share, big problem with me plumber sent me to and call the city and the city sent me back to call plumber I’m frustrated, but after watch your video , problem is solved , again thanks save me a huge of money and no more pushing around with those people any more.
You're very welcome
This video was very helpful. Thank you so much! Yesterday, I spent a couple hours trying to clear a clogged drainpipe using a DeWalt 20V 25ft. power snake. I was so frustrated, that I searched RUclips and found this video. A quick trip to Home Depot, and under 5 minutes using my garden hose and the drain bladder, my drainpipe was cleared. This was such a huge relief! Earlier yesterday, I spent $750 to have my septic tank pumped. I had used my DeWalt electric snake in the past to clear a clogged pipe. However, getting the drain bladder from Home Depot was the best $25 I have ever spent. Thank you again!!
Thanks for the comment
I was about to give up and call a plumber, but found your video. Thank you!
Glad to help
Same, literally have a plumber scheduled for Monday but I'm finna go to Lowe's lol
It worked!!!! I saved $65 and now I have a little extra cash for my son's upcoming 5th bday party. Thank u so much
@@TLHickman1975 Glad to hear it
thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you are a smart and nice person!God bless!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great video thank you
I need that for my kitchen drain WOW
to get the bladder down the clean out pipe get a can of wheel bearing grease. wipe all over the bladder then use use a1" z2" to guide it into the drain pipe.i find this makes it easier to install and remove.the greese will not hurt the bladder.
WOW, thank you!
Yes let's see you use it in the home!
Excellent!
Thanks so much 🎉
That same company sells one just like it, but instead of pin hole on one side; both sides have the gold metal piece it’s part #750. THIS IS THE MOST POWERFUL ONE!!!!! The pin hole is okay, but the identical one with the metal piece instead of the pin hole will unclog almost anything. You use to find these at any local hardware years ago until they found out how good they worked & started taking money away from plumbers. Need a couple because will burst & tear after so many uses - but you’ll get your $20 worth. Going on 23 years of 5+ people in the house & never paid a plumber to come. Goes to show how long this tool has been around.
Agreed. The Drain King model #750 for 3-6" pipes as well as the Drain King #186 for smaller pipes will take care of most clogs in your Home.
Update: again, thanks for making the video!
Hi again, just wanted to say this device worked like a charm! Took longer to drill & cut out the brass cap to the clean out. Best $20 I've ever spent!
Thanks for sharing!!!
It works Great
Ive been using these for years. I have three different sizes. Havent had to use them for two years now that i put root killer down my pipes 2 times a year
I used to use hot water to help unblock the pipes… but the bladders blow up after the second time id do it.
It was a plumber who hooked me up with my first one… if that cant clear it, then i rent a commercial power snake
GENTLEMAN U R GREAT TO HELPING OTHERS IS BIG ACT IN THE EYES OF GOD MAY GOD BRINGS LOTS SHOER OF BLESSINGS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY AMEEN
Worked, took me 5 minutes, took me a hour drive.
Thanks for posting my friend. This is just the tool I have been looking for and will save me many headaches in the future.
nice info
i would love to see the use of the smaller bladder for regular sized pipes please as our main sewer line is fine and flowing but our sinks and washer lines back up in a 2 1/2 inch pipe going outside
