Big whirlpool after clearing a blocked drain. Heavy rain flooded the road until unblocked.

- After some heavy rain, a blocked drain flooded a busy intersection. When the drain was cleared a big whirlpool developed. There's a couple of drains in the same location but it took me ages to find the second one!
Nice video, but next time bring a rake…
😂 it's on my shopping list
And a tripod.
Don't bring a shovel to a rake fight :p
@@brianlynch994 😂
Potato rake is compact and its tines deeper for deeper penetration of clogs…
We all owe Post10 a big thanks for creating the genre
Indeed 😊
Worldwide Post 10 drain crew checking in... ;)
😊👍
Another post 10 disciple..good job dude👍👍👍
More to come!
Love when you show the progress of the water receding from the street other than the drain
It was a real worry. Cars come flying over the bridge and it was hard to spot the flood
I love seeing the mud swirling in the water. Cool video
Thank you :)
All the people driving by and no one stopped to do this. You are a good man. Great job. Cool video.
Thank you, you're very kind
It's easy to judge if you don't know what they were doing.
The responsibility rides on the DOT who the taxpayers fund, this guy is being a champ but it's unfair to point fingers when people have lives to get to.
At least they aren't being a$$hats and soaking the guy all the time like often happens to Post 10.
Great draining. I am inspired by you, as no one else is doing this in your neighbourhood. Whatever tool you use, so many people benefit!!
Wow, thanks
He needs to watch more post 10 videos but still a great job
Or Odds and Ends...they follow Post 10 and give him props on a fairly decent basis.
Post 10 started using only boots
Post 10 is old news
Like using a tripod.
Thanks 🙏
You sure moved a lot of water. Good work.
Thank you ☺️
learnng just like Post 10 did. Poking around. observing what works, what doesnt. most street drains come in pairs. After water drIns... have a look around for its mate. mKe note of the construction. What Fun!
Thanks, I feel a bit weird enjoying this kind of thing, but clearly I'm not alone
Great job Nick!!
Thank you Roxanne!
Your doing fine. Keep it up
Appreciate it
Great job clearing the drains. It looked like water was coming up out of the drain on the right and the sediment it was carrying means erosion somewhere and the possibility of a partial collapse.
Great point, it seems every time the rain is really heavy it washes up out of the drain with a lot of sediment. As you say, probably a partial collapse further up the drain underground.
Great job, only thing I would suggest in this case is going and finding the other blocked drains and going between them to help clear the area. Otherwise awesome!!! Another suggestion would be to use a rake to be able to pull the debris out of the drainage area...
I've got myself a rake now. I think I'll have some more videos for you with the rake in the future
Z🎉
You need to get a tripod or a GoPro so that you can use both hands too.. less chance of dropping your camera/phone in the water.
Use a rake next time , and thanks for being a caring person !!! Good job !!!!
Thank you, I have upgraded to a rake and a tripod! Check out my newer videos. Thanks again :)
Shovel in one hand, camera in the other, hoo what a challenge! Still satisfying to watch it all drain away.
Was a bit tiring, but very enjoyable 😁
The drain you showed around 08:45 seems to actually be the source of the light brown water. (You can see the water well up). There was an endless stream that wasn't fed by any other stream. Good job in clearing the other drain, it avoided the whole street from being blocked even further.
Yes, I think there was a blockage underground somewhere?
Nice video. You have great qualities. You are patient and do not talk for the sake of talking.👍
Thank you very much Ralph. That's very kind of you to say
Great job!
Thank you! Cheers!
Great job from the UK 😁
Thank you. Good to see people driving on the correct side of the road?
Posters Unite!!! Good on You!
Thanks 😌
Top job!
Thank you 😊
Find another drain on one of the other corners! It'll go faster.
Unfortunately there isn't one 🙁
Post 10 is the CEO of draining ....
Excelente... buena acción..😊👏👏
Gracias
Great job.
Thanks!
awesome video 👌
Thank you 👍
Nice job, especially for only a shovel.
Wasn't easy! Got a rake and a tripod now 😁
that is just plain Fun!!
Thanks 😊
Great job
Thank you
Really like the video. I'd also like to a view of the street as it drains as well.
I'll keep that in mind 😉
congratulations on your initiative 🇧🇷
Thank you
Post 10 fan here!!
😁👍
Thanks for doing that! Us armchair quarterbacks need to get out and clear some drains too. It would be cool to see a before and after shot.
The before and after takes patience I don't always have ☺️
thanks 🇧🇷
God bless you always 🇧🇷
Should be more than one drain in that intersection.
very true
Nice to hear you speak 🗣
I prefer not to tbh, sound like an idiot
Takin some tips from post 10 ! 👍🏻NICE
😊
omg just use your foot to remove the debris it´s way easier instead of using one hand. but nice work i am happy there are people out there willing to help
Good suggestion. I can't seem to break up the clog with my foot. Maybe the leaves don't break up easily enough?
13:17 - That's what happens when someone pushed leaves and debris down the storm water drains. It always get stuck inside the pipes and the catch basins and block them. That is why there is a grate on top to stop all that stuff from going down there.
Is there any way for me to clean that out? Sounds like something you need special equipment to unblock
@@njy69 You need a large suction truck to clean them out. Like an oversized vacuum cleaner. 😁 The local road authorities should take care of it if you alert them.
Nope, grate is there so that you don’t fall into the hole. Debris should go through the pipe
If you take your feet and move them back and forth it will keep the leaves and stuff small enough for it to flew the grate
get a garden rake just like Post 10 uses
I've got one now! See my latest videos
a leaf rake or garden rake would work better than the spade
True. I have one now 😊
Appreciate what you do, but wouldn't a leaf rake be more effective?
I had a plastic one, but it broke :(
3:59 spinning counter clockwise. 4:13 spinning clockwise. 5:08 back to counter clockwise. Didn't know it could change.
Weird huh? 🤔
GOOD ONE...
Thank you
Until 4:10 it was unti-clock wise, after that changed to the other direction then went back again ! Who had notice
I hadn't noticed that myself! Weird
Oh my word! I saw that, and had to go back to double check! 😮
Grab a rake and a tripod and follow Post 10
Got one now. Check out my later videos
Great video, please buy a rake
😂👍
Great video but you need either a go pro to wear or a stand
Get a tripod so that u can use both hands
That would be easier :)
1 man can make a different .
indeed! thank you
😊
If you got a rake, it would go faster.
True, going to try that
👍👏👏👏🇧🇷
Nick, take a few minutes and look at CZcamsr Golovin Property Services episode titled "Clearing up the last of the Canary Grass & more creek unclogging Part 4. He is using what I call a potato rake. It does a good job and I still use one now in my flower beds to get leaves and pine straw out of the beds.
Thanks, I had a look and did a quick web search, a potato rake would be great! I'll go to the hardware store and have a look, hopefully you'll see me with one in my next video 😁
@@njy69 just get a normal metal rake from Bunnings that way you can use the prongs and the back of it.
A potato rake is for breaking up beaver dams, not these type of drains. For drains with grates, a garden rake is best.
@@njy69 No. Get a garden rake. See my reply to Wynona.
Same boots in all your videos? Where can I get a pair?
😆 my trusty gumboots, had them for I don't know how long! Pretty cheap from the hardware store
Mate you need a rake
Ikr! Got one now
only in Brazil there are street sweepers 🇧🇷
They must do it more often in Brasil 😊
Omg all the cars are driving on the wrong side of the road !!
😂 yeah we're a rebellious bunch
Hi all
👋
Trusty gum boots!
Wonderful things 😊
You need a rake mate
I've got one now. Check out my later videos
Why not clear the drain totally?
I did eventually, but that would have been too long and boring for you to watch
@@njy69 it's not boring.. you did great.. Thank you for your effort..
Hard to do it right with a shovel. Watch Post 10 and learn how to do it right.
I've got a rake since
Ya need to unblock the others as well
I wasn't able to get in to that one, it was blocked under the road
Да тут грабли хорошие крепкие нужны,а не ваша миниатюрная лопата
Очень верно. у меня сейчас грабли
street cleaners are street cleaners 🇧🇷
Did y ever get a tripod for camera . Two hands are always better
I did, still waiting on some rain here though!
I am struggling to watch this in parts , camera work is too shaky .just saying .
Yeah, sorry about that, I'm not that great with the one handed business
А руками нельзя что ли чистить, вашей такой лопатой только в песочнице играть
The video makes the viewer nervous
Why is that?
Trying to hold a camera and doing what you’re doing get a tripod.
Got one now. Have a look at my newer videos
Oh, PLEASE find some way of keeping your camera still!!
Sorry, got a rake and a tripod now.
Coffeemilkwater 5.24
Wouldn't drink it
I just pull the lid
I think you need special tools for that?
@@njy69 yea a hook
Get in there suck that water drain
😄
Invest in a tripod
I have done since this video 😊👍
Ask about y the street sweeper can’t come around an clean the streets before the rains come for spring an the Dorian’s get covered with leaves an other things good job
I think the street sweeper only comes around once or twice a year?
Take and tripod
I've got one now, have a look at my newer videos
The tool is wrong.. fail
🤷♂️
2 hands is better the 1
tru
Wipe your lens please.
Pretty bad, sorry about that!
The one arm struggle fest is annoying. Get a tripod, some sort of head or body strap. Or put your camera/phone in a pocket til you get the water flowing and use your voice to tell us what is going on.
Got one now. Check out my later videos
Post 10 is a joke.goes out where nobody travels and chases a moose with his car for miles at a time stressing out poor animals.
I haven't watched that video
Please wear gloves
Thanks for your concern
I hate video where the person don't talk to the people who are watching there videos
good to know
tu bouges trop, tu nous donne le mal de mer.🤢
désolé, je n'avais pas de trépied à l'époque
Boring get a rake explain why you're doing it
will do
We KNOW why he's doing it.
🥱 You need a rake and a tripod. Learn from post10.
I do have one now, but didn't back then
