Drag ur rake along the edge of the road. You should notice a drain when it hooks the grate or a clog. The deepest parts should have a drain and theyre usually at intersections too. Nice vid I enjoyed the scenery of the cemetary. Feel bad for the traverse owner. A hyrolocked motor is $$$$
Most cities put the drains at the same part of the street same distance from the intersection, so they are uniform so the workers do not have walk the whole of the street. Or at the deepest part use the rake to find that by where the comes. I have glued a tape measur to the rake I use for that.
I saw a cemetery in my local community. It's still flooded. For you, great job 👍 always! Your community needs it. If possible you should pop open some manholes.
Got a thought for when you're trying to find the drains maybe tie a small bar magnet to some fishing line or whatever and drag it behind you once you come across the drain the magnet will stick like crazy on it.
I appreciate the time you took to produce this video. You stopped and helped a stranger (priceless) !!! You showed parts of this great cemetery and of coarse unblocking the drains you could find. If people would take the time and enjoy the the surroundings and the sounds of slashing water.
All those trees, gravestones and all that water looks like it supposed to be abandoned. I bet it looks super mega scary at night with all those trees all them gravestones and all that water.
Thanks for doing what you're doing. Also, that looks like a really nice cemetery. You should do a small tour highlighting some of the more interesting monuments.
While I highly appreciate your efforts to make the things better I fail to understand why people who manage cemetery nearby did not pay attention to this drain problem.It seems no regular maintenance was there.Are there no municipality/local body for maintaining roads and drainage in the area
I see dead people. Side note, above ground vaults are used in areas of high ground water, as water has a tendency to push caskets upwards and out of the ground. This would be in older cemeteries that didn't use concrete vaults for the casket (or coffin)
That hole on the side street might have been one there were heavy machinery tracks and dirt. If it was a flat one with dirt on it could have been impossible to find. You’d think that corner would have em but looks like a bad design I guess. When the streets were repaved old street designs weren’t great but a lot of it was done quick and cheap. Not enough thought to where the water was going. Friend of mine has a puddle almost year round because of a new new handicap crosswalk. The river is across the street but it creates this low triangle. They removed the speed hump cuz it had the whole entrance flooded always. A dip in the main road would channel it into the rouge. Nice neighborhood too by the park the neighbors keep it clean mowed n swept. But they get a mosquito pond on the corner crosswalk to the park. Supposed to be part of the new area that channels flood water into rebuilt park space with wetland boardwalks. Shame the little important details get left out, could do something while they rework the park. Supposed to keep water out of thousands of basement, but this one spot has water still in the street days after it rains.
Great work. Would it be useful to look on google street view or google maps - satellite view to locate the drains rather than trying to find them under the water?
I saw two little red flags sticking up on your walk maybe they indicated a drain? I don't know how they do it in your city. Some show yellow marks on the road. It'd be nice if they did something. Good luck. See you next time. 😉😊👍👍🌟
Awesome! Just found your channel. Great job. Suggestion: wear some gloves. All of that filthy water will eventually cause some severe skin irritations. May not be right away. An inexpensive metal detector would help you find those drainage grates….
Maybe watch some Post10 videos to see how he unblocks them. You've got the perfect situation to provide content that would blow up but nobody will watch 12 minutes of someone aimlessly walking around in water waving a rake around. Get a cheap tripod for your camera. Walk the entire kerb until you find a blocked grate then set the camera up and get raking. Its not that difficult and the channel will get huge in no time. You've got the floods now lets see you do something about them!
@@detroitdraingang5037 don't take it to heart. Just trying to help and like i say a little more effort and this channel could go huge and earn some serious money in no time if you keep at it. Good luck.
It's very frustrating at home not to be able to help - just walk in a straight line in the gutter to feel for the grates, you zig zag all over the place, you'll never locate them like that. Keep up the good work though.
whoever managed this i don't know what to say, they should have more than 2 drains. in that cemetery, my goodness, what were they thinking? lol. if they dont maintain it, then, the roads is going to get washed out. NGL.
Please send me your po box address so I can Amazon you some good waterproof gloves. Even you have a small cut on your hands you can get a infection. Please stay safe
This is the most unsatisfying video I've ever watched! Guy goes to drain a flooded street and ends up just walking around and talking to people! Then he gets in the Crime scene car where he leaves his DNA and finger prints (you're in Detroit MI. bonehead), and never does drain anything! You have the audacity to want me to like & subscribe but you failed to drain the flooded street??? First: locate the drain hole. Second: put on gloves (so you don't cut your hands on broken things knuckle head). Third: pull stuff away from where water goes into drain, AND...here's the big one...put the stuff that you pull out of the water (OUT OF THE WATER...if the stuff is left in the water it will flow with the water back into the drain)...where it will not go back into the drain! The key point is to locate the drain hole that is plugged! If you can't locate the drain hole, 1) stay in your car or leave the area...like everyone else does. 2) Certainly don't make or post a video if you can't locate the drain. 3) Don't start the video until you locate the drain or we are left watching some stupid crackhead walking in a street in a poor neighborhood of Detroit. 4) Change your channel name from "Detroit Drain Gang" to "Detroit Failure Gang", because you did not drain anything! On a Final note; get out of this business altogether and leave the draining videos to the professional youtubers...the people that come prepared with the right tools and who quickly locate a drain and document from beginning to end the draining of the flooded street!
What a waste of time- and you cant find a second drain--why doesn’t the funeral hame have them mark them on the street sides, they’ve been there for years.
carry a large magnet to locate the drains
you never know, those will actually work.
Like the ones used for magnet fishing.
Drag ur rake along the edge of the road. You should notice a drain when it hooks the grate or a clog. The deepest parts should have a drain and theyre usually at intersections too. Nice vid I enjoyed the scenery of the cemetary. Feel bad for the traverse owner. A hyrolocked motor is $$$$

Call post 10...he is an expert for unclogging drainage.
i dont think he would actually get there in detroit. cause post 10 lives in massachusetts.
Flooded cemetery water, dunking your bare hands in.. youre a brave dude!
A wider Post 10 style rake is definitely needed, catch more leaves. great work though.
Great channel and vids! Have you ever tried to use google street view to locate drains when everything is underwater?
Maybe Google maps would help? Like Google the street view and it'll show approximately where the drains are?
Hint, the drain isn't going to wave and say I'm here. Drag your rake along the curb until you find one.
Detroit Drain Gang Hero ☺ Sweet of you to apologize to those people for their car getting stuck
The tow truck guys does not want it cleaned 😂
Better use a spade to scrape the mud and sediment, and put that shit asight instead of draining. More walking around than really unclogging

Looking forward to part 2.
You need a big magnet glued to the top of the rake, then drag it upside down until you feel the magnet find the iron/steel grates. :)
Areas that flood a lot should have markers on the sides to let someone know exactly where the drains are.
Always look for the area where the water is the deepest...that is where usually there is a drain.
All those trees, gravestones and all that water looks like it supposed to be abandoned. I bet it looks super mega scary at night with all those trees all them gravestones and all that water.
pull the blockage towards the dry area and dump it so it don`t get pulled back into the drain. i keep watching you fighting with the leaves
Thanks for doing what you're doing.

Completely remove the leaves out of the water it will make it sooooo much easier
The cemetery needs to mark the location of the drains!
Well, this was very anticlimatic. How long is "shortly"? I´m referring to part 2?
Great work. Would it be useful to look on google street view or google maps - satellite view to locate the drains rather than trying to find them under the water?
you should have shirts made saying " its gonna work itself out "
That time the deceased almost floated away :)
A metal detector might help to locate those drainage holes.
They have the adopt a highway in Michigan. Maybe we need to start an Adopt a Drain.
I saw two little red flags sticking up on your walk maybe they indicated a drain? I don't know how they do it in your city. Some show yellow marks on the road. It'd be nice if they did something. Good luck. See you next time. 😉😊👍👍🌟
Looks a nice cemetery its a shame they dont keep the drains maintaned.
i do have to agree with you there, if they dont maintain it, then the roads is going to get washed out. if the water isn't drained.
Would magnets help find drain covers?
I don’t think u will feel the drain with all the leaves on it come when it’s not raining an get a idea of we’re they are
Is there a part 2 ? Was waiting for the unclog
Awesome! Just found your channel. Great job. Suggestion: wear some gloves. All of that filthy water will eventually cause some severe skin irritations. May not be right away. An inexpensive metal detector would help you find those drainage grates….
13:00 min. video of a guy walking around in the water....
Good job. Too bad the drains aren't marked. You almost need to have a metal detector to locate them.

A cheap metal detector would of been handy on this one ^_^
You really need a wider rake. That tiny thing doesn't do much when you have put your hand in the water to grab stuff
Wonder how long it took for it all to drain down
Look up the area on google earth. You might see them if it was dried out when the pics were captured.
I wonder if you could see the drains on Google satellite image or something?
what is it with the toy rake?
if people would clean up leaves instead of leaving them piled around the drains, might help the flooding problem.
next time first move you feets over the drain left to right then lift the cover.
post 10 has found the drain faster........
This wasn't drain clearing .. it was just splashing about in puddles.
That always happens when I am around water. Pee-pee
whoever managed this i don't know what to say, they should have more than 2 drains. in that cemetery, my goodness, what were they thinking? lol. if they dont maintain it, then, the roads is going to get washed out. NGL.
At 04:02 it looked like a hand XD
Who else is watching this on Halloween 2022? 👻
Rake the things out of the water, and clean off the rake.
There should be more an two drains they
Sir, get a nice big plastic rake
HOLY SH 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬!!!!!!!!! GOD D🤬🤬🤬🤬!!!!!!!!
^Remove^ the debris. Don't just swirl it.
You need a better rake
use a cheap metal detector when you have trouble finding the grates.
isn't it a idea to check google streetview when you can't find it?
Use Google maps at your location to find drains
Ha! Sorry, posted the same thing just after you, but didn't see it because of the sorting. Common sense, right?
👌🙏🇮🇩💛💚
No Good
在找啥啊？還不找排水口！
Este señor no hace nada.
Can you not lift the drain up. And let it properly drain.
Metal detector for $30
Ten pan nie nadaje się do tej pracy.
Please send me your po box address so I can Amazon you some good waterproof gloves. Even you have a small cut on your hands you can get a infection. Please stay safe
Ten pan nie nadaje się do tej pracy
Zwolniła bym tego pana po pięciu minutach jego pracy.
good job
What was the point of this video you never sorted anything out lol
I would have stayed at the same drains and kept on clearing them
🇳🇱👍👍👍👍👍🍀

Walking every where for what purpose?please dedicate
Not worth my.time to watch. To much talking. Do yourself a favor watch post ten
Waste time filming you walking through water is useless.. i just gotta it. Good luck to you.
Post 10! He has no clue!
what a waste of your time , i suggest u watch post 10 and see how he locates drains , his a expert and u are a novice
13 minutes of walking up and down flooded grass . Maybe start the video when the unclogging starts ...
What a waste of time- and you cant find a second drain--why doesn’t the funeral hame have them mark them on the street sides, they’ve been there for years.
