The owner of the properties needs to send everyone a warning letter about wipes and kitchen fat!
Exactly what I told him to do
Ya, and make them pay for the clean out
It never hurts to add Tampons and Maxi-Pads to that list too….Those will give MASSIVE issues too.
@@J.R.in_WV Get many of them too, trust me
@@jetcleanpro2384 my first experience with them was when me and a co-worker had to fix a collapsed section of an ancient terracotta sanitary sewer pipe in the basement of our city hall building built in the 1910’s. We found the collapsed section by running from the street side in with a rigid camera / locator and had to cut the concrete floor and and dig down almost 4 feet by hand to get to the thing. The waste and black water had been backing up for days but we didn’t know this, we just had a report of a new smell and a slow floor drain in the basement. So we figured the blockage shouldn’t be very big and got the bright idea to chisel out a good chunk of the top of the pipe behind the crushed section to gain access and remove any large solids, TP wads, etc to let the water run out so we could splice in a PVC section and a couple fernco’s. As soon as I busted through the top of that pipe with my fat chisel, with my coworker and I standing in the 4’ deep hole as I did it, a giant chunk of the top of the pipe broke loose and the black water started to trickle for a moment….then some assorted semi-solid turds and what looked like several dead white mice started washing through along with a torrent of water, which brought with it dozens of the “white mice” and their turd companions, filling the hole to our waists as we just stood there flabbergasted. Of course the white mice were used tampons, which somehow grossed me out far more than fecal matter ever has. Ever since then I’ve been a crusader to end the flushing of ANY “feminine hygiene” products.
The owner needs to notify all residents that their drains are "A FAT FREE ZONE!" NO FAT ALLOWED DOWN THE DRAINS!
No wet wipes either.
Lol
I do put my fat in the trash. I never put that stuff in my sink. Only because I know what this guy is dealing with, I did it for a living. Good money too.
We're very careful what we put down the drain. Strainers to catch food scraps and that goes into the composting. As for the fat/grease/oil, that's sopped up with a paper towel and goes into the composting. Been doing that ever since our municipality allowed it.
Reason people do this, (I think) is once it down the drain it doesn’t matter to them anymore, it is someone’s else responsibility to deal with it
They’d soon care if they got the repair bill!!!!!
Or they are kids who like to flush stuff down the toilet or people with dementia who are disorganized or people that are plain ignorant. Totally agree if they got the bill they would be singing a different tune.
Until it's backed up into their house. 😂 They don't care!
@@carriefranklin971 Yup and then it's someone else's fault (like the landlord), when it comes time for clean up and repairs.
@@dang48 yup and that is how that cookie crumbles. Some People don't care.
This has been a problem for decades - Most people don't understand what happens to oil and fat when it cools in pipes. Also, the problem with wipes ("flushable" or not). Then you have those that don't care or do not own the property..
So true mate
I'm not sure what the solution is but it's allso illegal to put raw sewage like nappies and wipes tampons pads in the bin as well..so unless everyone goes green like me useing menstrual cup bidet,reusable wipes and reusable nappies then I don't know what solutions mainstream people would do...most don't put in the effort to live green.
As for the fat ,that one's super easy...bin or compost it or even better go vegetarian or vegan.
Great googly moogly! Giant chunks of fat and massive wads of wipes make for a perfect plumbing nightmare. Every drain in the building must have been backed up forever.
By the state of the gush and how long it lasted, I am surprized no flats were flooded out
Think you need the same Jetter as Drain Addict and Penetrator Blocked Drains. Good work!
He needs a constant supply of water then he’d keep the jet on full blast. And the big jet heads that Oliver uses would smash that blockage in half the time
Have drain addict show you how to do it . He's the best
for sure needs to upgrade the equipment that line looked rather small and the hand on/off trigger he is using not capable of enough pressure looks like it belongs to a homeowner pressure washer
The CRS-38
Drain cleaning Australia is good too, well worth a watch
You can almost HEAR these ten households sighing in relief 👍💪
At least 4 of them was watching from the windows
@@jetcleanpro2384
hahhaaaa I bet they were. all pointing fingers at who did it
A link to this video needs to be sent to all the residents.
It's been done
they won't care
That gush HAS to be some kind of world record!
It's about average after you have 3 bean burrito supremes at the same time
@@gorak9000 🤢 🤮 😂😂😂
Love the video, used to do the same job, can remember on deep m holes where you had to climb in the dry end and rod, once unblcocked you heard the rumble and you had to get out quick LOL
Been caught out a few times, Now I carry long boots for them jobs
This is the first video from you that has shown up for me from CZcams. Great job clearing all that fat and wipes. Hypothetically, I can't help thinking it would have rammed the message home if all the fat and wipes had been collected in clear bags and 'presented' to the residents to show them what their carelessness has actually done. Otherwise, viewing of this video showing the scale of the problem should be mandatory for all current residents and any new residents. It might help. :)
I sent the flat owner the video, hopefully he will pass it on to the residents
It would be wise to invest in a bigger nozzle and a torch on a springy cord. The little penetrator is good to get through the initial blockage, but will take a lot longer to get through the volume of fat that you were dealing with. All in good time. 🙂
I had a head torch, but battery run flat, looking to get a bigger nozzle, but finding it hard to get one.
What the bloody hell have people been throwing down the kitchen sinks?! Never in a million years would I expect anything like this.
I have seen worse mate, lumps of Fat the size of bricks
Gotta' say that was one tough clog but you performed a successful job. That amount of fat in a residential drain was surprising. Almost looks like there's a restaurant operating there. Thank you.
Worse than some Restaurants I have been too
I wonder how Post 10 would have coped. He's the bloke in New England who goes round clearing road gullies, etc. on CZcams.
I suspect Post 10 might struggle to begin with, as he mainly does culverts and beaver dams! But I suspect he'd soon get the idea. Clearing drains is actually quite straightforward and not too complicated. And as here, the residents caused the problem!
Bruce would've cleared it in no time (aussie drain cleaners)
There should be a fire hydrant nearby where you can get water from. Surprised the flats don't have an external tap somewhere.
Illegal in the UK to use a Fire Hydrant
Wow! That was a mess, perseverance pays off. 😮
Wipes and kitchen fat - every drain unblocker’s bread and butter!
2 cameras would be better so we can see the effects of both ends. I also wipe everything I use for cooking with paper towels to keep oil and grease out of the drain. Then the grease goes in the trash
2nd Camera on order. Thank you
You had to fight hard with that one! I’m tired just watching 😂
Thank you LOL
Think you need a larger hose and a better nozzle to get through the thick stuff. Good job getting it done regardless.
Thank you
It really was full of crap, and wipes. You did a brill job, well done .
.
Thank you
As a suggestion...again just a suggestion...multiple cameras may not be a bad idea so you could potentially give a split screen view of the unclogging as well as the gush that so many of us that watch these channels enjoy...I understand you are new to this...once again it is just a suggestion enjoy nonetheless!!! I also understand additional cameras are an additional cost to you without help...the aspect of seeing the other drains get released and relieved also gives many of us viewers satisfaction...
Good idea, but still learning how to use the first go pro LOL
@@jetcleanpro2384 not a problem kind sir...also need to figure out if you have outside taps to provide more water on some jobs...I have learned that from other channels again suggestions...not truly criticizing your work. You do this more often than me...just going off what I see from other channels to help better your own channel.
@@shawnbarczak1766 Normally, not a problem, went here with a full tank expecting being a block of flats, they would have an outdoor tap, but in this case they never
@@jetcleanpro2384 thanks for the response!👍👍👍
Now That is a gush! Great work! Thanks for posting 🙂 ive subscribed
Thank you very much
Two worst things for plumbing, wet wipes and grease. If you're want a clean bum, purchase a bidet seat, and dump the grease into an old can, then dispose in the bin.
Agree, but it will never happen, not in my lifetime anyway.
I wish you could use hot water! I have to admit, I was told not to flush "pan oils" down the drain ... even with soap. But I was Never told why. My brain needs to understand the how and why behind certain things. Seeing this makes total sense.
Cold water or hot will still have same affect to fat once it hits the drain pipes, also washing machine powder does the same thing, returns back to solid state when cold.
The owner of the building should take the cost of your work and divide by the number of units there then tack on another $200 "fine" to the residents!! I keep an empty can for grease since I'm on a septic tank. My landlord said if we stop up our pipes that's on us, he's only responsible for pumping the septic tank.
The owner paid me and said he was going to charge each resident, which I think is fair
@jetcleanpro2384 absolutely! They caused this mess.
I can't believe people don't realise what damage fat can do DO NOT PUT IT DOWN YOUR DRAIN PLEASE
Don't matter how many customers you explain this to, they still do it, I have 1 customer I go to every 3 months for the last 6 yrs
@@jetcleanpro2384What is that saying oh yes " They have more money than sense "...lol
After seeing a few of these videos, I like our drains here in the US a lot better. 1 piece of pvc pipe tp the street(or septic tank) no searching for multi man holes. Yes, I know, those drains are old, long before pvc was around. If you have enough flow, look at something like the reaper nozzle, it will cut a lot better and much faster.
Thank you, will do, and agree most of the UK drainage is all Victorian.
Hi, Wow why would people put fat and wipes down the drain??? That was a gush and much more...I hope the owner tells the tenants NOT to use the drain for things that arent suppose to go in there. Great perseverance mate. Do you have any bigger nozzles, maybe a bigger 1 could of got through the blockage better? Amazing job as always..Stay Safe from a Tasmanian Fan 😊🙏👍🤗
Thank you
You certainly earned your money!!!!!!
You really worked hard on that one !
Thank you, always do my best
There is no such thing as a flushable wet Wipe people think it can go down the drain easier, it's the same thing as a regular wipe they just label it as a flushable.
Sell as Biodegradable, but as you say, their not
Please can you put the auto cc on for those of us with hearing deficits? Thank you 😊
Will do, sorry about that, never thought of it, all Video's in future will have the cc on.
I live in UK, do you think all homes and businesses should have grease traps so things like this don’t happen, as in the end the fat will end up in the main sewage system, which will eventually lead the main sewage system get blocked up and flooding the roads, homes etc, which leads to raw sewage being released into our sea and rivers systems because people are not thinking correctly and dumping fat down the drains
It would be a good thing, yes, but it will never happen
Grease traps can cause more problems than they solve. A better and cheaper answer - don't put fat into drains.
It's not too hard to understand is it?
Maybe if people would stop pouring grease down their drain, there wouldn't be a need for grease traps. AND stop flushing wet wipes.
Remember the 4 P's for drains: Pee, Poo, Paper and Puke,
No. More grease down drains, more wet wipes! Keep this man employed and keep more content coming for me to consume!
I wish you’d filmed a part two with a light ❤
Charge them DOUBLE for abuse of the drain system.
As our guy on the Wirral, Drain Unblocking with Tony would say, " That's the sound of success baby" I noticed a Fire Hydrant sign on that building, would it be too much to have a connecter so you can refill your tank in such situations? Nice one.
Thank you, seen a few of Tony's Video's
It would be nice, but totally illegal to use a fire hydrant.
We will wait for part 2 the the sequel.
Great job there!
that was one tasty river of luuuv 😁
Wonka, River of Chocolate
Great videos… you need constant water, working off limited water supply for the jet must be a headache.. can’t you use the property’s tap?
Why cant you connect your water tank up to a spigot attached to the home owners house?
It was a block of flats, only a few people at home on the top floors
A whole second part would have been great even with a view from the last manhole.
Nasty! Doesn't look like an inviting pool to swim in or a refreshing drink!
That's why I hate Drain cleaning in the summer, too tempting LOL
Still boggles my mind that there isn't an outdoor tap on every bldg!!!
The problem with that, everyone would be washing their cars, watering plants, so someone would have a huge water bill. But for things like this, one would be great, and the property manager could have a lock on it.
A different nozzle may help, but I don't know the rest of the equipment you're using. I would suggest having a look at Ollie and his 'Drain Addict' channel. He's in Oz but he has detailed videos on how he works and the equipment he uses, particularly the different kinds of nozzle for various jobs and the size of the problem.
Totally different machines in Oz
Great work! Could also poor 10-15 ltr. natriumhydroxid in every drain outlet and let it work 1-2 hours then all the fat would be dissolved
Does that not just move the blockage further down the line? Will it not just all clump together again somewhere else?
19:30 I know its kitchen fat but it looks like black oil that they pump up from the ground, horrible stuff. Great job :)
Just subscribed.
Good morning. I’ve never seen such a big blockage. Too bad no part 2.
Good Morning Sandra, It's 2.30pm here in the UK

Part 2 is added onto the end Sandra
Great video you need to get yourself some decent torches like the Australian plumbers one of them is called the penetrator and he is very good
Whatever you got paid for that job,wasn't enough
Should tell the owner to put a outside tap close by
11min in the drain addict or penetrator would have had it unblocked seems like not using a powerful enough jetter need the reels with nozzles you can swap out and you need a drain scope camera that would have told you in the empty catch basin what you were up against also need to upgrade so that you have a hose run to an outside faucet to maintain water you should not have to go elsewhere to refil your water
Im in the Uk, Drain Addict is Australian, cannot get the same jetting nozzles in the UK
They would care if they had to do the repair themselves
Oh yes
I'm watching you and I'm shouting out at the screen "why hasn't he got any heads/nozzles on the end of his Jetta hose!
I could say many things but you should know them all
Sorry, what do you mean by heads on the end of the jetter hose, I'm in the Uk, so maybe something I need to learn or know about
@@jetcleanpro2384 I live in the UK Andrea called heads but you might know them as nozzles to make the water come out with extra power.
Just look them up on Google. They will make your job a lot easier.
I've been watching too much drain cleaning Australia so I'm vouching for Mr. German and the other nozzles that Bruce uses lol.
IThink you need the same Jetter which is 5000psi i heard the Drain Addict say and Penetrator Blocked Drains do in the AU.
Agree, but at the moment, I don't have £14000 spare
You need a larger sized jetter to make it a faster job
Nice job. Out of interest I assume you have large auger snake that you can send up the pipe... At what point do you decide to use it vs the jetter?
I don't use a Auger snake, they will only go through the centre of a blockage, jetting will clean the whole drainage pipe
@@jetcleanpro2384 I see.. thankyou!
I can't watch your video because of the ads. It is one ad right after the other. I quit your video when the 3rd ad started up. 😞😲
Afraid, that is out of my control, most videos will have adds, that's you tube
😠 - at least I subscribed to CZcams premium and didn’t see those “infernal” [cashcows]
@@jetcleanpro2384
0I am using an ad blocker known as ADBLOCKPLUS. It works on every video except yours. Yes, I think you are right, this is CZcams's fault. Thank you so much!!! 👍🫶
dang, it's all overflowing on the ground . . how gross
Do you have heat on your jetter? I had heat on mine, it was great for grease clogs. My heat was 170° f. You can't get it to hot.
Did you have a Mazzoni boiler.
@@jetcleanpro2384 I don't remember the brand, we had it built here in Arkansas. And it's been 20 years since I've done it. It wasn't a cheap machine, $10,000 to have it built with a boiler, 4000 PSI, it was a bad boy.
@@jetcleanpro2384 my cousin has a business here in Arkansas, Fayetteville.. Best Jet sewer and drain, and grease trap cleaning.
@@jetcleanpro2384 I commented back but it disappeared
@@carriefranklin971 Very strange
GET A FLASHLIGHT. !!
I have one, but on this job, it died on me
It’s a shame no one would give you any water. If I lived there I would let you use my water.
Their was no outside water tap
@@jetcleanpro2384 I don't think anyone is an outside water tap. But was there one available? (Hint: there/their is not the same word)
Why don they collect the wet wipe and grease and dispose in general waste passing down the fowl line only moves the problem to the main sewer the crew in Korea collect and dispose of solid with a collecting grid😅
00:34 is that a peregrine falcon I hear? Did you look up?
Not sure, I don't think I heard anything at the time
You need a better hose
The hose is the correct size for the machine, if i went up to 1/2 inch I would not have enough force
When you know it’s fat, why not take the plunger off and just put the stick down in, to try to punch a hole?
If you needed more water you should go.and get it so the job will be satisfying complete to you
Yes I did, at the end of the Video I came back with more water and finished the job.
You don’t get paid enough
I know LOL
Meanwhile after you get things moving some poor person at the sewage treatment plant is losing his mind with the influx of water coming in.
All the wrong jetting gear, no idea. 3 or 4 outlets ????
Thank you for your opinion, I take the negatives with the positives all day long.
needed a flashlight or as they say in the UK: torch. Y'all just leave me hanging. 👎
Had one on me, but battery died
I have seen worse......and had to dig it out x2 drains...congealed fat and toilet paper.not as deep as yours though mine only a mtr deep.it was fun.
Every Drain is a challenge, but love the work, would not swap it for another job
Why no access to water at sire?
No outside supply
TORCH 😊
GUSH!!!!!!!!!!!
You need a CRS38.
T.N.T. ??? 😂😂😂
Thank you
Hmm, it's too bad you don't have a work light. You could have made a second video for even more views and likes
Also you thought you (plumbing industry) get a chemical which you can put down drains which eats up the fat so it doesn’t block the drainage system we have in UK, as most of our drains are over hundreds years old
It would need to be a Chemical that does not cause more damage, most Chemicals people put in their sinks will rot the seals, causing more damage, also if its used too often, it crystalises and causes more problems
A nice tidy job…well done and thanks..
@@Kinleith621 Thank you
You should put your fat on tissues and bin it NEVER PUT YOUR FAT DOWN YOUR DRAIN
