    Tight spaces always make the task much more complicated. Trying to keep the customers home as if you were never there is not as easy as people think. Good work, Gavin. Shout out to a great customer as well. He did a great job with the camera work and help. Thanks for another super video ! 🙂

      It bothers me that most people wont even move stuff out to allow work to be done. I know when I have contractors involved the area is cleared by me to make job easier..

    You did a really good job on those stubborn Roooots! 👍🏼 And the 6-pack of beer was a really kind compliment by the customer! 🍺

    @xxBlazinBobxx Před rokem +4

    You deserved a cold one after that! Cool of the customer to help record then add bonus refreshments! Fun being able to see the jetter work on the problem while we see the result on camera from a nearby branch. Really shows how important the camera is when making sure everything is tidied up appropriately.

    Getting to see the camera at a different angle while jetting was pretty cool. It was awesome to see how the different nozzles work! Loved this video and I love how you talk to each customer and actually explain what's going on and why. I'm in the USA but seeing your work definitely sets you apart from others especially here.

    Working in a confined area is bad enough, but with all the water, hose and cable must be challenging. So very well done Gavin, your tenacity is a credit to you. When architects plan homes perhaps they should consider more obtuse angles on pipes, rather than the easy 90 degree bends. Thanks for posting. I caught myself whistling your traveling tune in the car, made me laugh 😂😂

I know you are a fair and honest guy and won’t rip off your client but sometimes it feels like you have to go the extra mile just to see the job completed which is very admiral 😅 I enjoy watching you work.

    GREAT video Gavin. Good to see all the different techniques and the appropriate nozzle for each one. Looks like your access hole in the back of the toilet could have been placed a little better so you might benefit from another mentoring session with Ollie so you can perfect the placement. Enjoy the weekend.

    I'm happy I live in Northeast, USA where we have cellars for our plumbing pipes and a lot easier to get to. Aussie plumbing is just unbelievable and I don't know how any of the plumbing even passes final inspection, that is if one is done! 😲 I've often wondered, why don't homes in Australia have cellars, same with Florida, USA, no cellars on most homes. I love having a cellar 🙂

    Do the jetter suppliers make an attachment which would amount to a Hydraulic Clamp that is pressure activated? Say 4 teeth at 90 degree marks around the hose end. No/Low water pressure = Clamp teeth are opened up. Moderate/High water pressure = Clamp teeth converge tightly into the center. Seems like such an attachment would be useful in grabbing and pulling that loose mass of Roots up thru the toilet opening. Make any sense?
