Nice to see how much Jem is into genealogy. He's always going back to his roots.
He likes to branch out lol
😆😆😆😆😆
Thanks for all your comments
Always appreciate them
After my next repair video which should be on this week I’d love to visit Australia
Ollie welcome to come over 😁👍👍
Good to see you got to the "root cause" of the problem!
Aiiiiiii thank you.
I'm here all week and don't forget to tip your waistress!
Jem your knowledge of trees and bushes is amazing I learn something new every time I watch the videos keep up the great work not too many businesses have as much integrity as your company. 👍🏻
Thanks Jeff glad you enjoy 👍
Except he failed to identify the English Ivy in the corner and the poison ivy next to the manhole
It’s a good service call when you use more garden tools than plumber’s tools! Almost like you need a gardener as a helper that time! Plumber’s greetings from the states gents, keep up the good fight.
Nice to hear from you Jeremy/ Jem 👍
As you were doing that i was just thinking that cameras going to fall in !! And it did. Great video ty again .
Gem,the Root of all Evil Destroyer!!! That was a whopper of a root!! Great job!! Stay safe my friend.👍🤓👍🤓Randy.
You too 👍👍
I felt like I was gonna see Ratty and Croc on this one with all those roots
@@Tris289 George I think Ollie's van "organization" would send Jem's blood pressure thru the roof..😁
Jem would also need to practice his ALLLLL GOOOOD!
@@chrishelms1967 I agree. Jem would need a week head start to organize Ollie's van first
Ollie is a dirty mess working, get sh1t everywhere and barely cleans up
…..funnier if Jem said…. Wow this is all chockers…. Ha
I would have been crying at the thought of putting that York stone back
Very heavy needed Joe or Warren there 😁😁
Last resort Andy 👍
At least the camera survived this time! Great specimen 🌳 nice catch 👍
👍👍👍
Yesssss another drain video with Jem....the main man jetter 1 .......love it

Thanks mate 👍👍
Good job Boss....👍
That was great content. Monster roots!

It’s an unusual blockage this time. Good video
Not seen an interceptor for a while, nice work again.
Very nicely put together video and very entertaining as well. Thanks for posting this.

Always around there Liam
Thanks for watching 👍👍
@@jetter1jem955 brilliant 😀😎
Another interesting video Jen. Keep up the good work
👍👍👍
6:38 this looks like a beautiful specimen Jem
amazing how the roots get into everything. good job
Jem. You guys have surpassed your Aussie cousin. Really enjoyed this one.
💪💪💪😁😁
Every time i see one of the cameras fall down, part of me expects Jem or Andy to mumble
"Oooooh boy now i've done it, Jenny's gonna kill me"
😁😁😁
Very well done 👍🏼✅ For us, it feels like very small roots. All okay 🙃
Well done Jem. Another root has met it's demise
Thanks Darren 💪💪😁😁
cant really blame the plants when they find a good source of water and fertilizer. Just glad it keeps Jem and the gang in business
👍👍
I think you did an awesome job great work
Thanks Janet glad you enjoyed video 👍👍
Some hydroponics going on there Jem!
Great job on that flag stone, must be 60 kgs plus. 🏋♂️💪. You earned your tea that night.
Thanks for sharing and stay safe all.
He fell asleep and annoyed me with his snoring for an hour in the office 😁😁
Thanks for that Jenny 😞
@@jetter1jem955 , Methinks Jenny put something in your coffee. LOL.
😁😁😁
Dear Santa,
Please bring Jem a backup battery for Christmas. He promises to be a good boy.
😁😁👍
😂😂😂
Loving your little comments Jenny. Let's have more from Jetter Control x
Yep, that was the most roots I know of that you've ever encountered too!
I watched again, and JEM pulled out the carpet of roots then loads of wipes came flowing out of the drain! 🧤😀👍🔦
One of the best! Is there a part 2???
Not on this one new batteries getting delivered.
Thanks Roxanne 😁
Love your work Jem , n all the Gang .. Love from Down under x
Glad you enjoy Jason 👍👍
God sake jem i thought i had fell in the hole there m8 lol great job and vid again drain unblockers
Ha thanks for watching Colin
I don't know about you guys but I keep a blunt edge on my shovels - it does a better job on the roots but doesn't ding up as easily as a sharp edge. I do have one that I keep sharp for roots. Good job cleaning that mess up.
It looked like the opening of Tutankhamun's tomb.
A good preventive maintenance every year would avoid those sudden blockages for sure.
Keep a set of loppers in your van for this type of job will be so much easier love your vids by the way
Because of this channel I now flush my empty toilet a few times each day. Tomorrow I’m moving my large bushes that I have planted around drains 🙂. Who knew 💩 could be so entertaining 👍
Right. We just turned up on this one. Talk talk, fast walking, talk, talk. More running back to the truck. Fast talking. More speed walking. 😀😀
The top drain that had the plug - what is the idea of the top drain.
It’s used to clear the last leg of the pipe, the bottom hole goes to a U bend and the top is like a rodding eye. So the interceptor is equivalent to a big gulley limits the smell from the main drain, as some older properties wouldn’t have had sink U bends and gulley traps. Now every property should have U bends and traps so the interceptor isn’t of much use, so that’s why he can remove the cap, because the smell won’t get into the building anyway.
(Hope that makes sense).
Im from argentina, liverpool fc fan so... new sub here heheh
Brill Don 😁😁👍👍👍
I didn’t even realize there was brick behind the roots. I was thinking in the beginning why do they just have dirt ? Lol. I was helping you pull it. Lol
I had to pause the video and take a shower after I fell in the manhole.
Little hint for the editor: Don't put text in the last seconds of the video, the RUclips links block it out
Didn't think of that! Thanks
That's so they don't get caught saying the "C" word and the end of the video! 🤣🤣🤣
Great root cause analysis there 👍
Those are some crazy roots!
I was in Liverpool on Monday and Tuesday this week to see Genesis at the m+s bank arena. I did seriously consider dropping off some cakes as a thank you for the entertainment but it’s seemed a bit weird to turn up like that.
Always welcome Especially when cakes on offer 😁
Believe Genesis were Brill 👍
Lol I loved being in the drain 🙃
Good video. Raven Meols Lane Formby, 2 mins from my house.
Very nice spot Liam 👍
It’s like a carpet of roots ! Andy and JOE you really missed JEM at his best!😊🧤👍😓
Thanks Suzanne needed Joe to pull root out and Andy to film I could of stayed in van 😁😁😁
Surely that should have been an enclosed manhole, not just a slab cover.
Good job. Nice to see the rodding cap intact as well 😄
Where’s there’s muck there’s brass! That must absolutely stink! Well done you
Who dented your van?
Jem dented his van 😁
Thanks Jenny 👎
Didn't get a hernia after moving that stone did you Jem? "Come Jem give it a good yank" That root is a fine workout. Battery needed a break to recharge. Whoa what a mighty humongous root. Thanks Jem
Close to one Laura 😁😁👍
You chaps should do a few recordings in the office, a day in the life of etc.
cool❗️
Great job👍
😂🤣 fixing the camera _ I don't want you to miss this.. .....that's a whoppa 🤭
They had the amazon rainforest growing in there.😳
OMG what a root!!!!!!
Never seen anybody get so excited about a root problem before!
Brett you need to have ago mate 😁😁😁
Yeah..Quite a nice one...😅 😅 👍
You need to carry so,e loppers with you. Make short work of the roots. Love your videos. .
I love the plugs of roots you pull out, but the TP and butt wipes? Yeah, not so much. Don't flush butt wipes, people! Lol
I definitely would be putting something in there to get rid of the roots.
In the winter months do the drains ever freeze over?
@Nicky L thats probably true. I was thinking with leaks and all that the cold would make it down to that level.
I live in a subtropical climate, so literal freezing temps are rare...
Hey Guys, over here in the States we dont have the same setup.... so forgive the lack of knowledge..... what is the purpose of the 2nd opening right above the main outlet in the manhole?? (I assume that where that round cover came from, which is even more confusing)
I believe its a rodding point
The main outlet from the channel drops into a U trap to keep sewer gases from the mains getting out. These days you can jet or cable through a U trap with a bit of a fight, but when you are using rigid rods, there is no way to clear the blockage from the downstream side of the trap except from coming up from the mains. In bigger mains, that means climbing into deep manholes and walking up deep culverts to find the exit from the property line. So they put the rodding eye above the U trap with a sealed cover on it. If the blockage is beyond the U trap, you pull open the rodding eye, shove your rods into the downstream pipe and clear it out. The cover is supposed to go back to seal the system again.
@@brucetheloon thank you
@@brucetheloon spot on, I think they are known as a Interceptor trap, from the Victorian era ( still used well after), my house has one, 3 other houses run into it as well, my house dates from 1936. There are a pain in the bum, the U trap always catching stuff. Originally there was a vent pipe ( just above ground level), thankfully replaced by a house height stench pipe. 👍
Great comments you lot 👍👍😁
Great job. You need more batteries for your cameras. Aldi do a deal on garden loppers, it might be worth carrying a pair on each van. 😂
Think your right John 👍👍
Whoops!!!! Lol 🎥
I think a quality pair of secateurs would be a useful item in your van Gem.
Love the way Jem sounds like a dirty phone call when he's working hard hahaha...
Thanks for that Migel 😁😁👍
Nigel 👍
@@jetter1jem955 Love the videos mate, just banter of course...
Cool 👍👍👍
I am watching videos old to new, so this may be something you have corrected since this video, but I have noticed your jetter a few times now having the unloader hang dead heading your pump. Maybe I will see its been fixed as I work through the videos, maybe not....we shall see. This is VERY hard on the pump internals. Nice one on this video, heck of a root ball in this one.
Good Wednesday evening to you all from Wellington Somerset
Hi David and glad your enjoying the video’s
First we do a little gardening then we'll unblock some drains.
Lot of jobs in Formby lately.
Lots of root too
Sandy soil 👍
I watched a few of these and always wonder. Does someone else down the line not get blocked up with what is cleared from a job?
What is the jetter and how does it work?? Thanks and love your videos keep them coming
Tank of water the van, feeds an engine driven pump (this ones a piston pump so works quite like an engine also) which pressurises the water and sends it down the hose, this exits through the jet head which has nozzles facing backwards for forward propulsion and sometimes a front nozzle for cutting through the blockage. Check superjet or jetter conversions websites for better info. (No endorsement or promotion there are other top brands available, just the first names that came to me)
That cap is supposed to prevent sewer gases from filling the manhole and smelling. I noticed some were missing. That'd be a code violation here in the U.S.. Are those caps able to seal gas tight? May not be a thing over there.
Milwaukee should sponsor you boys with a wireless saw saw for these situations
You need a B'root bar root cutting tool
good job mate hope your back wasn’t angry with you 👍👍
Nice hot bath always does the trick 👍
Nice one, what is the second outlet pipe for that had the lid on it?
Maybe you should put some secateurs in your tool kit ! Massive root that... really they shouldnt have planted things near the manhole!
Them roots didn’t stand a chance with the boy wonder on the job
7:42 - What is the purpose of those plugs / lids? And what is the purpose of the extra hole above the outlet hole?
Last time I checked my drains I noticed I had one and wondered if it was there by mistake. Like someone dropped a clay pot lid in my inspection point. 😂
