To most of us, this is interesting and actually cool. Everything is not for everyone, and that is ok. Either way they took time out of their day to watch, and comment. Jokes on them 🤣🤣🤣
@@seanpuptreacy Lol, I personally would never give this job a try because... Well... But I CAN appreciate the hard work and dedication, the result, and if nothing else watching it from afar is cool lmaooo
Weirdly I'm in the UK, and I watched a vid last week of a fella in the US unblocking storm drains during a downpour. Oh and I watch Salty Cracker as well.
This is my first time seeing roots growing in a manhole but it does make sense, it’s outside, a source of water, and not usually visited or touched. Thanks so much for sharing! Job well done 🙌🏽
The snow oddly was the most interesting part of the video. This although is from a guy living in Scottsdale Az where it's gonna hit 100+ degrees today and I haven't even been in a city that's seen snow this decade.
i already know this channel is about to blow up. I know the drain unblocker channel in Korea is blowing up lol. Watching those drains get unclogged defines a new meaning of Catharcism to me
JEM is no cowboy he did work on our drainage and found out the house builder had not put a drain in from the untitled room.... He lifted our block paving fitted new drain and Replaced all the blocks i would give him 10 out of 10.... Thanks again Jem Phil and jayne
I find it truely amazing that in today age, with pvc available, they still have open air flow connectors to public sewer instead of a pipe with collar connections and sealable cleanouts.
Jem the Root Destroyer and Warren the Spielberg of drainage engineering! *I love that Jenny put her name first though 😊 Lol here in Canada we just got a big dump of snow after a month of warmish weather, They said less than 1cm of snow/rain mix over night and I woke up to about 5 cm of snow on the ground!
Do you do anything to where the roots gain entrance to the pit. I know you cut out as much as you could, but the roots are always seeking water. And they will grow back in a fairly short time.
Ya got a miniature habitat in there. Smells like pancakes with cinnamon. Really enjoy watching what you do and you sanitize the area when you are finished. You're brave lol
Now that's a root!! As far as root problems go this might be one of the better ones right? If all the roots grow in through the manhole they could probably get away with opening the manhole and picking out roots a couple times a year?
Had a similar problem at my mom's place. Was asking the pipe worker what the most common problem for backups is, and he said it's plastic bags and plastic-wrap. So many people flush plastic down the toilet for some reason. My mom lives in California.
I love jobs that get all the muck out, cleaned up and everybody happy! I could do that all day long, but we don't have sewers like this in Arizona or Calif. Good job. Cheers...
@@goofydog2 i dont know anything about european plumbing outside of the similarities it has with us plumbing but it seems the open lines are for venting where as we vent on the roof in the us. It all works the same way essentially. Just different ways of achieving the same goals. Anyone who has more knowledge of euro plumbing please put me in check
So was that a straight-up sewage line in the pit leading away from the house, or was there storm water or gray water (sinks and laundry) feeds going into it as well? Always interesting to see how other countries do this.
A manhole cleaning should be done at least once a year, just like furnaces are tuned up once a year. It's all about being a proactive homeowner to keep £££ down. Well done video !
I'm always amazed by people who don't keep their properties groomed with the vegetation, that they are surpised by insects, plugging, moisture damage, etc.
At 7:50 we can see the approaching snow clouds 😁 🌨❄️. 🤭 - looks like the homeowner will have to have his driveway dug up to find the parent plant that the roots are coming from - obviously the manhole is a source of moisture under the driveway, and the roots have gone straight to it (a source of water as far as they are concerned) not knowing it is the sewer outlet for that house
as an engineer I am always interested in the different ends / nozzels I see you favour the worm most of the time I guess from the way it reacts it has forward sand rear facing jets /
People can dislike the job as much as they want, but everyone should be grateful for people like these who go out and do that job.
To most of us, this is interesting and actually cool. Everything is not for everyone, and that is ok. Either way they took time out of their day to watch, and comment. Jokes on them 🤣🤣🤣
Is anyone disliking it though. Very important job. Without these guys and others like them, we'd end up knee deep in shit and disease.
True
Salt of the earth people. There is money in muck and a good living if people were to give the job a chance
@@seanpuptreacy Lol, I personally would never give this job a try because... Well... But I CAN appreciate the hard work and dedication, the result, and if nothing else watching it from afar is cool lmaooo
I am now watching plumbing videos from the UK. I work in IT...in America. I love this.
We are in the same boat... and we are up shits creek... lmao
same. don't even know how I ended up in ScouserTube
It's a shitty job, but someone's gotta do it. Lol
Weirdly I'm in the UK, and I watched a vid last week of a fella in the US unblocking storm drains during a downpour.

Don't worry, I watched an Australian guy jet wash a playground earlier..
Looks like something youd have to jump into in a resident evil game lmao
Thanks to RE Village im here today...
I wonder if the guy who hearted this even knows what Resident Evil is.
@@wealthybone2990 resident evil is old as hell. Im sure they know
@@wealthybone2990 been out since 1996 surely heard of it
This is my first time seeing roots growing in a manhole but it does make sense, it’s outside, a source of water, and not usually visited or touched. Thanks so much for sharing! Job well done 🙌🏽
Looked like some Resident Evil mutation gone wrong and spreading in the manhole.
Let's hope Lady Dimitrescu doesn't come out of that manhole
@@toainsully It would be good for the drainage.
Plot twist: I was *not* a resident evil mutation 😁
Nah that's not a mutation, it's either a hairy arsed ginger drain inspector or an orangutan has got stuck in the pipe.
The scary thing is that you can't see where it came from in the first place 😱
I don't know why youtube put this on my list....but I am thoroughly satisfied at the outcome XD. Well done boys.
No idea why this came up in my feed, but now I'm going to spend the next hour or so bingeing drains being unblocked! 😂
Welcome! These guys make the best videos. Enjoy.
I'll wager this man is continually employed.
Considering there's video evidence of him continually working, I doubt anyone will take that bet...😉
Glad to see you got to the root of that problem Jem 👌
lol! You and me both!
@@TheDrainUnblockers Roots are real bad for clay pipes and manholes once you get rid of them they grow right back ..
The best Unblockers ever! JEM, ANDY, JOE, WARREN ETC. 😀🪣🧤👍🔦💩🪠👷
The snow oddly was the most interesting part of the video. This although is from a guy living in Scottsdale Az where it's gonna hit 100+ degrees today and I haven't even been in a city that's seen snow this decade.
The snow came out of nowhere!
To be fair, we are only one winter into this decade, so that isn't saying much ;)
You and me both man. Too hot here.
Wow those roots were huge. You did a good job. Thanks for sharing your work with us
i already know this channel is about to blow up. I know the drain unblocker channel in Korea is blowing up lol. Watching those drains get unclogged defines a new meaning of Catharcism to me
All the pain of clearing the drain and none of the glorious smell..

They got a whole greenhouse down there.
Just got this notification as I was finishing the newest Drain Addict video.....BONUS
Just not the same without a Rat 🐀 looking for corn 🌽 and a Kookaburra laughing in the background. All Good 👍🇦🇺
My assigment can surely wait twelve minutes and twenty-nine seconds more...
You too?

Design it n make urzelf rich
Even with PVC, you still have to vent to atmosphere. You do not want it completely sealed. Even the public sewer systems require venting.
Vents in the us of A are on the roof. ... .. Where a curious kid and a match usually are not.
@@jaymesc.moreland9265 is that because of methane gas that can build up??
@@tebmc3466 that's one of the reasons yes.
Kudos to the courageous people that do these “dirty jobs” across the globe.

Wow that root was making its own home in there...food is close by great job
Looks beautiful. Like a frogotten temple teaming with withered roots.
Well done for hitting over 500k views Jem!
Keep up the good work all MerseyRod gang 😁
Thanks 😁
@@TheDrainUnblockers Having a manhole outlet infested with roots Jem and Warren are the best plumbers in UK and keep the manhole outlets clean..
good video yet again lad's. Soon got that one sorted .Best give warren a oscar for the BEST CAMERA OPERATER.. stay safe .....
That manhole had a beard! Nice job as usual , you always go the extra mile to check and make sure it’s right. 😬👍Eddie wheels 😬👨🏻🦽.
Now this video takes me back to my roots
What a pleasure it must have been to work on the snow 😍🤩
Almost 500k! Cant wait to see another video!
Tonight 👀
Trying to figure out how this in my suggestions and why i cant stop watching 🤣🤣💀💀
Nice, youtube really knows what to recommend me after playing Resident Evil
EXACTLY what I was looking for!
Very interesting. Fascinating to watch. Hello hello from Kentucky USA
in the end, is that the lovely british weather everyone talks about?
Omg my first episode I'm hooked🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗.
When you tapped on the pvc pipe and said "that's his kitchen" what is that drain from the kitchen for? Is it the kitchen sink?
Ratty would say "that's chockers mate" xD
Ratty🐀 would be too busy looking for corn 🌽
Always expecting to see ratty magpie and Ollie when I see drains.. 😄
Ollie would have put a camera down the line afterwards, for sh1ts and giggles.
The roots say, I will be back again!!!
Don’t want to kill the roots, they are job security. Have to come back in a few years and do it again.
Do you do anything to where the roots gain entrance to the pit. I know you cut out as much as you could, but the roots are always seeking water. And they will grow back in a fairly short time.
A technical hard worker good job done.
Ya got a miniature habitat in there. Smells like pancakes with cinnamon.
Really enjoy watching what you do and you sanitize the area when you are finished. You're brave lol
Snow in the middle of April..........Lovely..........or not.
Beautiful job,
and as granny used to say "You could eat your dinner off that now".
Wonderful work my friend
Many thanks
I think that's a "Ken Dodd" wig! ( No respect intended). Never knew roots in UK drains could get so bad.
Thanks for sharing.
Good work. Crazy roots
Now that's a root!! As far as root problems go this might be one of the better ones right? If all the roots grow in through the manhole they could probably get away with opening the manhole and picking out roots a couple times a year?
Great vid jem that was one hell of a root
First earwax cleaning, now this. There is definitely nothing wrong with me. Ha ha
Good Sunday evening to you sir
Great work editing the vid Jenny
Thanks very much! 😁
It always seems be raining up there in this case snowing keep up the good work. Could you explain to the viewers how the mole works.
Great job 👍I thought it might of been joe as you got week off 😜 enjoy the chill out time 👍
I love the roots!
Great Job as always cheers!

Its no different than the work you'd do on sewer lines in az or ca. You just have cleanouts. Pipes that come up from the main sewer line for access
@@serpentinefire921 The sewers I've worked on (just a few) had cleanouts but NOTHING even close to the open pits this man is working.

Is there any way to prevent something like this? Other than cutting down all the trees on your property.
Great another channel I know nothing about that I’m now balls deep in
These videos are very interesting indeed.
That's not roots it's a fully grown shrub!
It is 😀
Looks like an Am Bush to me
I'm glad they got the root of the problem🤣
What a beautiful garden, lol.
So was that a straight-up sewage line in the pit leading away from the house, or was there storm water or gray water (sinks and laundry) feeds going into it as well? Always interesting to see how other countries do this.
I get it now. Gully, inspection chambers, hoppers, etc. It all goes down together.
Roots to what though? Are they from the shrugs that are several feet away?
Question... Where did the roots come from? It's a concrete patio... 🤔
A manhole cleaning should be done at least once a year, just like furnaces are tuned up once a year. It's all about being a proactive homeowner to keep £££ down. Well done video !

This root can be used for flower planting media
Good video. Stay safe
Great job!
Is that a King of Spades?
Well done another clear pipe and good you nearly reached 5k subscribers
Thanks 👍
Looks like a hose reel with a valve would make your life easier. Also more control for when you're washing down afterwards
Opening the pit Looked like my partner before the monthly trim
Back in the old days the gaffer would lean on the shovel while the kid did the grafting, now they're the ones holding the camera
Yes because holding the camera makes them just as much money.
Times are changing , man
That’s how you learn. I make my apprentices do a lot of work. Throw them in the fire and give them pointers.
Love the Taco Bell Ad at the end. Well played!
I bet those are some well fertilized plants!!! That's a mess of roots for sure.
Please oh where did you find that mask perfect for splash guarding funky stuff, any links would appreciated.
Try Jetter conversions in Sarrett

Yeah, "sh1t happens", respect the guys who deal with it. Had to do similar things in my time.
Buen trabajo!!, a casa a la ducha y un buen café o té caliente con pastelillos ;D.
Should advertise your business as Plumbers and Landscaping with the amount of roots in that drain.
I agree! Someone has to do it!
Seems like a nice bloke , my experience of drain jetting services is cowboys
going back to my roots yeah
綺麗になって気持ちいい！
Is that snow or sleet falling?!
Must get that attachment for my nilfisk pressure washer.
Is that radioactive fallout in the end? That can't be good.
as an engineer I am always interested in the different ends / nozzels I see you favour the worm most of the time I guess from the way it reacts it has forward sand rear facing jets /
Great videos! How many jobs do you do in one day? 🤔
Glad you enjoyed
Up to eight 👍
Good 1💪💪
use flamethrower :) that roots gonna grow again
"...with a bit of half pressure" blimey o.O
That tree was living the life feeding on a steady diet of Gourmet sewage water.
How did the roots even get there in the first place? Doesn't look like there was any place for a plant to grow.
