- The title says it all. This video is not like my typical videos, so skip over it if it doesn't apply to you. I was struggling to find a gutter downspout and could literally not find a solution anywhere on the internet, so I felt obliged to upload this video showing my solution for anyone else in the future having this same issue!

That was a cool idea! I have a smoke machine too! Thing is I don't need to find my gutter drain but hey! it was a cool video, and it was kind of technology-related, because of the smoke machine!
Here's an idea! Fly a little drone through there. Haha just kidding...
Haha, I appreciate your supportive comment Weston :). This is just a random video and doesn’t apply to the whole of what I usually do on this channel, but hey, I want to help those that have this same issue so hopefully most of my typical viewers will understand that from the same lens that you viewed this through🤓
Hey Carson. Really clever solution! Do you think you could make a setup/desk tour? I would really enjoy seeing your setup to get some inspiration. I have seen your tech gear and room transformation videos but you didn’t entirely show your desk setup in detail and I’m sure it’s changed a bit since then. Thanks!
Great idea Carson!!
Well done. Here's a challenge for you (and me). We have 5 acres and our lot lines are 500 feet long. Our new neighbor has been seen in our wooded boundary area on a few occasions looking like they were just harmlessly exploring our woods but one morning I saw them escort a contractor in there who commenced to work quickly, trying to avoid being seen (all bent over and going from tree to tree). After he left I went out and found a plastic pipe exiting into a ditch on our land. I asked them to move it and they acted like they had no idea the pipe was there (4 inch perforated flexispout pipe). He said it was his downspout but also didnt know about it. Anyway I found another one on my land and had them both terminated professionally on his side with a pop up. My question is how can I find any others over this 500 foot lot line? I dont want them to assert ownership over our land and claim adverse possession by these buried pipes so I need to find any that exist quickly. I tried dowsing which works for mine but there is a near by stream which causes me to poke my shovel in a lot of places only to find rocks. Any other suggestions to find possible pipes I dont know about that is efficient?
Haha! This is awesome! Thank you so much!
Thats a clever solution! Thanks for making helpful videos Carson!
Indeed! I can’t take credit for it fully though, I’m just re-sharing information that I found elsewhere but it still was super easy to implement!
great video !!! I wonder if that would work in gopher holes ? lol
Lol that is a really smart idea actually, like in the event you want to find all exit points for a gopher hole! Only thing though is that since in that case you would need the fog to travel long distances, it may only work with a smoke machine or something constantly putting out smoke rather than the 10-15 seconds of a smoke bomb!
How do you find the entry hole that hasn't been used for years?
Do u think there is a machine that we can run over the grass .? I can’t use the smoke machine
Hello Carson: Please tell me the brand name and model number of your fog machine. I am experiencing the same issue about locating gutter drains. Your amazon link to a fog machine in your video does not work. Thanks, Paul
I have this problem and but my drain is clogged completely from the both sides
Helpful vid but I have the opposite problem - the outlet is visible but the input is is nowhere to be found and was quoted by a plumber $500 for a simple inspection and cleanout
I'm glad I saw this. My solution, I am sure, would have involved gasoline and a lighter.
😂That could be badddd
Liked your video. Very clever. The only thing that I can add is to paint the drain covers white. They'll be easier to spot in future searches.
That's a great idea!
Very innovative idea. Luckily the drain wasn't completely blocked otherwise the fog probably wouldn't have made it to the surface.
house tour?????
Hi I have a similar problem at my sommer house In italy, but i have been told that putting hose on the fog machine will melt everything as it gets very hot, is that true. ? our ground is 3500 m2 and i have absolutely no idae where the hose ends, it goes from our basement to under the terracce and further under concrete into the garden. thanks for responding
Depends on the machine. Mine actually came with a hose to intentionally direct it.
Garden hose down the other end? Water will eventually make a wet spot.
Hi Carson
Hey man!
Nice tip, I’m willing to bet some plumbers do not even know this trick.
Right!
True, & that's because we know way easier methods! But hey, that's why we're the plumbers! 😅
My solution originally was to spend like $100 or so and buy one of those snake camera off Amazon. I also have a smoke machine from Halloween so this will hopefully save me some mone as long as it isnt yoo buried lol
Update: did not work for me. Our downspout goes under concrete walkways around the exterior walls and the smoke just found some gaps and came up around cracks near the exterior walls right at the corner where the pipe likely does not go. Im most likely going to have to get a snake camera eventually to actually find out where this thing is going.
leave blower way easier
Sadly this did not work for me, at least not entirely. I was able to identify that 3 gutters/grates on my property are connected to one another, but not where they exit. I closed those known exits up, and fog couldn't be found anywhere else. None of these act as an exit point themselves either, they go... somewhere, and I'm afraid they may be dumping into my septic tank. If anybody happens to see this, and have another idea to (cheaply!) locate the exit point, please let me know.
Did you try putting your fog source at the furthest exit point point grate from where you were originally putting the fog into? Maybe your fog source was just lacking any additional power by the end of those 3 grates, it could be possible to locate additional if you’re further down the line, if you know what I mean! Make sure to plug up the direction going towards the original source hole, so you’re only working downstream and not upstream.
How has a fog machine just laying around
I dunno I bought it when I was like 11 and was in a party store lol
Some of us also buy one or two for Halloween.
Metal detector
i think you just should stick to technology lol
I agree. Like I said though, I felt obliged to make this video because all other solutions out on the internet were either expensive or not great lol so I wanted to make this for anyone else ever encountering this issue.
fair fair. I was watching your Boosted Board video and went to go snag one on the website.... and it was um, not working. So should i get the other one you recommended?
Sadly, as of recent, it appears that after many years of being in business, Boosted Boards is quite possibly going out of business :(. blog.boostedboards.com/a-message-to-the-boosted-community/ I’ll be releasing a video covering a cool electric longboard (from neither of the past companies I’ve made videos over) within the next month and a half or so!
Thanks for this video! Helped me a lot, and turned up because of downspout searches -- and now I will check out your technology stuff too! Occasional excursions from your main topic bring in new viewers!
First!
