@@culinary531. That would be my biggest fear is to reach down to clear a drain and get poked by a dirty needle and end up possibly catching something that could end up ruining my life while trying to do a good deed!! Much love for what you're doing and keep up the fantastic videos and thank you for caring!!
The guy who owns the gas station has to call a jetting service, like roto-rooter or a plumber who has a jetting truck (and a camera). The drains on his property are not the responsibility of the city. People call drain unclogging services all the time, businesses are no different. If the gas station owner doesn’t know this, it’ll keep happening. If he knows, but he’s too cheap to fix it, it’s his problem, and I’d worry about the state of that building, as well. All that cracked pavement means he probably has to get a new drainage system installed, since he likely has crushed pipes. Then there’ll be repaving, which will cost more. It sucks, but if you buy a business, you buy the maintenance that comes with it, as well. That flooding isn’t the city’s fault.
I wouldn't buy gas from a station if I saw that; underground tank caps are pretty good, but they aren't designed to hold out _standing_ water like that...some water will infiltrate down through the threads and into the gas. Bad for your car.
I don't know how it is in Detroit, but in my city, the municipality's water/sewer responsibility ends where it stubs off from the main pipe, meaning everything from the drain itself out to the street is the _property owner's_ responsibility. If the gas station business doesn't own the property itself, they need to light a fire under the ass of whoever does. Maybe threatening to sue for product ruined by rainwater seepage (as I'm sure is happening) would get action. If the gas station owns the property, they need to stop being cheap and shifting blame and spend the money to deal with it. I'm not going to judge, I don't know which case this is.
in the netherlands all the gasstation have a system in place to seperate oil from water (obas) it is required, it is illegal to dump all that water just on the street, because of the environment
@@remcovangoozen6146 Its the same in the UK, every forecourt has to have a drainage system around the edge, we call them interceptors., Where i live the fire service inspect the forecourt every year and can issue improvement or shut down notices.
I love how the city had enough time to throw out some them big warning thingies when it would've took the same amount of time to clear it with a rake and fix the problem
good job DDG, BUT ya'll need a post10 rake it'll work better, also GLOVES, don't be grabbing stuff with your bare hands, how do ya'll know there isn't any dirty needles under all that dirty water? better to be safe then sorry
Good drain video. Bad luck for the gas station owner. He really has a big problem. I'm glad you didn't get splashed. You should carry a can of blue paint so you can make a mark where the drain is for the next clog. You know there is going to be another clog. I wouldn't make a big mark, just a small line or arrow so you will have it.
Are you people nuts? You live in Detroilt and you're sticking your bare hand into the water to clear a drain with no gloves. I'd give that some thought dude!🧐😳
Another great video keep them coming but please wear some gloves if you're going to stick your hands into all that crap, there could be glass or needles stuck in there ☹ be safe first
Advice: with you film something, get long steady shots, as you did around 4:10. You know what you see, because you're there. You see the whole picture. But the audience only sees what you record, a small "frame". When you have such an unsteady picture it's really difficult to follow, it also causes headache. I couldn't finish watching. The human brain needs time to comprehend what it sees. Also: your phone can record audio. Just say a few words about what the situation is, what you do etc. It's nearly impossible to read the white writing with that moving background. Again: headache material. The audience watching such content is probably older. Give them time. They are not here for the action. When you are about to walk somewhere tell the audience "let's go over there", that prepares them that the picture will get unsteady and it's an opportunity for you to interact with them. When you're two, don't speak of "I". Watch a few videos on how to make good videos. Post10 has nice long steady shots, guess why he's successful. Edit: in an urban environment maybe wear gloves 😐
You REALLY need to be wearing a pair of thick rubber gloves girlfriend. You don't know WHAT you're putting your hands into when reaching down into those drains. Only say because I care. Safety First.
You need a garden rake,it’s stronger than what you are using now, a class2 or3 hi-vis vest(maybe the highway dept will give you one) and for petes sake- get some puncture proof gloves and dont put your hands into anything you cant see! Good job clearing, but you need to use more common sense and protect yourself. You wont be any good to the motoring public if you are fighting for life from a needle stick!
Move the garden rake(not the leaf rake that you are using) back & forth to keep clearing the drain until you get a vortex (whirlpool) then rake back & forth as needed. Take some plastic grocery bags with you for the trash. Thanks for what you two are doing. My mother's family is in Michigan. I went to my grandparents' house in Dearborn in the late 50's. I think 7 Mile Rd or Telegraph was close to them.
Another great video! Thank you guys for doing this work. Not many kindhearted people out there that care about their community like this. I don't live near you, but I definitely appreciate the work you do and I'm sure your neighbors do as well. Keep up the great work, good luck on the channel!
You are awesome for doing this! I know you know but for a PSA, watch out for needles and broken glass when doing this without gloves. I cringed every time you reached in with bare hands....stay safe out there! Tetanus shot would be good
You are doing such a service for Detroit. I hope this gets you some type of recognition. I use to live in Detroit and I remember how some streets would flood. Keep up the good work and stay safe.
Gloves please! Every time we have a heavy rain the drain at the end of our street plugs..mostly leaves and grass trimmings from stupid or lazy neighbors who rake or blow it into the street..same few of us get our rakes and open it up…
I like seeing people taking care of their community. Everyone needs to stop fighting about politics and get a rake and a garbage bag to make our lives better.
City should fire their people. You pay taxes and you do their job very very nice work. Plus, there is nothing wrong with a little community service watching the water drain is super awesome.
6 mile and Hamilton?? I used to deliver gas there and it was always flooded. One of the drivers opened the lid and let the water run in the tank (7 years ago). Glad someone is working on it finally.
Would be nice if they would get a stencil and spray paint, water drain, or something like that on the curb by the drain. I always cringe when people grab into the water with their bare hands....and then you pull out a broken bottle.
echoing other people, please wear gloves to protect yourself when you do this work, broken glass is no fun and there's bound to be other unsanitary trash in the gutter being swept along by runoff water as well. You're doing a good thing but please be safe while you do it.
The suction pipe was collapsing because of the suction, then the pump would have nothing to pump so the suction dropped and the pipe opened up. Repeat the cycle. That where the stop and go discharge comes from. Like another poster said, the suction pipe needs to be more rigid.
I worked for Speedway and had the same thing happen to the employees parking. I took the grade of and removed a filter bag out and it smelled bad. 3 years of leaves and trash. Hosed it out and was good to go for 3 more years
Camera person low key ruins the video they record everything but the draining process at one point they were recording random ppl or the garbage while the actual draining was going on what’s the point in that.
Great work guys! Please wear a hi-vist yellow or orange vest all the time and keep outside the road..better safe than sorry
Stop touching that stuff bare handed! People suck sometimes but they also do dirty things sometimes! Protect yourself!
Including needles and syringes. So many diabetics in Detroit. But seriously, invest in a good pair of puncture-proof gloves.
I was thinking PLEASE get some 🧤 🧤
I agree 100%. It's not worth the risk!
Even broken glass bottles!I have seen that on Post 10
Why was I thinking “what if there’s a dirty diaper underneath there?”
Post10 Would be proud!
He would. They did a great job.
Post10 needs a consult.
Haha, I was guessing that is why this popped up in my news feed.
Hed say to use your feet, a stronger rake and gloves
Everyone is ready to judge but I don't see them offering to help.
You guys are awesome! Doing community service like this, keeping the streets not flooded, picking up garbage.
Awesome work!
Best to you. You're doing a tough job in a tough city.
Can you pop open any storm sewer manhole?
Please get waterproof work gloves. Grasping in broken glass is no fun, even if you've been lucky so far.
Or a hypodermic needle

Good idea but blue is for potable water. Green is for sewers and drain lines.
The pump at the gas station would do a better job if it was pumping out of the drain.
Yay👍Thank you for taking the rubbish away.
U need a garden rake
I would be scared of grabbing a dirty needle.
Absolutely! 🚨
I don’t live in Detroit but I still want to say thank you for service you all are appreciated 👠

It amazes me the city has time to put up orange barrels but not to rake a drain
Great job waterford Michigan here
Great work BUT....GLOVES!!!!!!
Some city worker thinks the infrastructure doesn't work so they just put an orange barrel out instead of investigating why the road is flooded.
Great job 👏 👍 👌 😊😍❤
Use sturdy work gloves, a rake or a potato rake and wear a hi Viz vest!!!!!!
Great job! 👍🏻Be safe and healthy 😷please get gloves 🧤 🧤 so you won't poke something deadly🤮 into your hands 🙌🏻!
I like the shots of the sky reflecting in the mini lakes
Hi man good 👋👋👋👋👋👍👍👍👍👍🇬🇧🇺🇸💯🙋♀️
Nice job guys 👍unclogging and taking trash.
Awesome Job!! But please wear gloves!! Especially in the city, too much nasty stuff.
Aren’t you concern with needles when you stick your hand into water? Gloves might be a good tool to invest in?
how much of that water has gone into the fuel tanks underground?
I am just saying. Dont buy gas from there. You might have some engine problems
Water and gas don't mix
Probably none, they’re sealed…..probably.
If you have ever seen one replaced...they rust like crazy
@@ruthstory2277 The new ones don’t really rust at all because of how they are designed
Very cool guys. Thanks for sharing
thanks
Dude you're doing a great service to community but please get some heavy gloves on
Now that’s what I call a RAKE, good job 👏👏🥰🇬🇧
Post10 will be proud of you guys. Great job guys. Really mean it.

lol thank u
Amazing work ethic.
A soft hose to vacuum!? 🤣🤦🏻♂️ In suction must always be mounted a semi-rigid of rigid hose. 😎 Anyway you did a good job👍🏼
I cringed every time that dude went in with his bare hands. Nice work though.

Great job you guys
The City ain’t gonna do it, the People gotta do it. You make me want to get a rake and walk all over unclogging drains everywhere. 💯
Enfocáis demasiado hacia el desagüe, interesa mucho ver como se va reduciendo de tamaño el charco.
Thanks for what you do but please protect yourselves. PLEASE WEAR GLOVES when reaching into the water.

Is there a monsoon season in America? Just curious because I too wanna start these kinda videos...but it will be a seasonal thing
That gas station pump did a terrible job draining it kept stopping then continuing

Detroit was a proud city. The lack of maintenance everywhere is sad. Even businesses that are making money. Lost pride, just cracked cement.
Well done. But you need to get better at filming. I saw more of the traffic and surroundings than the actual unclogging
I worked for Speedway and had the same thing happen to the employees parking. I took the grade of and removed a filter bag out and it smelled bad. 3 years of leaves and trash. Hosed it out and was good to go for 3 more years
When he reached down too the drain and pulled that out, I thought it was someone's old weave clogging it up. ;)
Good example how city/ town clean up those hole and where spending our taxes $$$
Great job!
thanks
Now if you had a lawn care guy to come around and get the grass out of all the cracks, it would even look better.
Why are the drains so loud? When I clear the ones around my place they are pretty silent. Does it have to do with the dept of the water?
i think the volume of water and force has alot to do with it
The pump needs to be primed before use, it will be one continuous flow of water then, no jumping like it was.
You guys rock!
Be safe and careful out there guys
thanks will do
Cities don't usually unclog drains on private property. That's the responsibility of the land owner. It's just like toilets; not their responsibility.
Love seeing it, but freak out when hands goin water..... :)
Was there a drain on the street of the gas station?
ممتاز
Great job, but please wear gloves next time!
Poor design having the angle of the ground towards center of the station
Camera person low key ruins the video they record everything but the draining process at one point they were recording random ppl or the garbage while the actual draining was going on what’s the point in that.
sorry......
