man, seeing all that crap and sewer water everywhere was giving me anxiety. Never truly realise how precious plumbing is until it breaks and it's people like this guy who save the day when those moments arise.
Plumbing has made and broke entire civilizations. Easy to take it for granted when it's all out of sight/out of mind and it's just an ever present reality.
Omg right. I’m sitting here wondering how they clean up after. Who do u call for that 🤣 This needs a bomb or a hazmat suit. I can’t believe she asked this guy to clean it too. That’s not his job. I would probably use 20 gallons of bleach and just leave it a week
I’m new here. Was having sewer issues myself. These videos have changed my whole perspective about what plumbers go through. Thank you from Oklahoma U.S.A.!
While watching this video, I couldn’t help but thinking “I’m so sorry for this lady.” Glad DA cleared the drain. What a mess! Best channel on CZcams. Cheers!
At least where I live in the USA , as soon as the drain flows , they pack up and leave. No attempt at any cleanup. Thanks for all you do for your customers!!
It's an international problem. I have to deal w/ people frequently landscaping over their water meter boxes. I've seen more than a few driveway extensions pave over them also. The meter box contains their shut-off valve so good luck to them if they ever have to get to it.
Very nice editing in this Ollie. I'm a young plumber myself in the Caribbean and I've learned a lot from you. You're fearless. Blessings to you in Jesus' name.
@Schaefer it's an old joke. A long time ago, iirc he did the countdown to the liquid dropping, nothing happened, and a kookaburra laughed at him with perfect timing. Everyone in the comments was laughing about it, he laughed about it in the video, and it became a thing. Iirc.
I bet you can't wait to hit the shower after a day like this. I would love to see a video of you cleaning and disinfecting your gear. You are the best and an inspiration.
Had a situation at my grandmother's house. She never went into the basement because of steep steps. Months of toilet flushing and showers built up in the basement after the clay pipe collapsed. We only noticed because the house was awfully humid.....
Mad props for helping with the clean up, I can honestly say I've never dealt with a plumber who went above and beyond like that. I've had plumbers refuse to work until after the area was clean.
Love that sticker you got on your machine and that the video ended with it on the screen💯Hope that you and yours have a blessed one, D.A....along with everyone else watching💯🙏 ‘A Peace Beyond Understanding’ is a wonderful gift that only HE gives!
Just happened upon your channel and I've been watching several of your videos. I'm thoroughly impressed by both your professionalism and work ethic. I'm sure you deserve at least twice as much as you charge. Much respect! And subscribed.
Lovely day to get outside Ollie. I know that the client was amazed at the jetter's efficiency. And relieved to see the blockages are clear. What a bugger those palm/bamboo roots can be.
Through wind, rain, and even snow, Oliver will unclog any drain that he knows. Good job Oliver!👍👏 Edit: clean up on isle 3,4,5,6,and 9. Maintenance person please to the rescue.
@@martinr1834 I'd put money on it getting a mop down and some bleach and that being it, but you could see at the door the paint on the wall was all powdering because of it soaking up the moisture, and it seemed like it had worked it way under the tiles at the doorway at the hallway, so you it should be stripped out but I bet it won't
Love your videos! You’re literally my favorite CZcamsr ❤ they really make my days when I don’t feel well like today 😊 I hope you have a great day and and who ever sees this ❤😊
I still get so excited when you come out with a new video! I've enjoyed your work for a good while now but I am so missing the drain gang! They enhanced your videos with a bit of whimsy! I vote that their vacation should come to an end and they need to get back to work! Love from Las Vegas ❤️!
Ollie well done USA plumper myself and I must say when I run to the end of my pipes to see what comes thru, you can outrun me backwards lol.....u really went above n beyond. Something these young kids now a days coming out of trade school don't do. They just hear the ad for school saying earn 100k a year or more and learn to half ass it. Best wishes, keep on cleaning the focus out those drain pipes, see u on the other side some say
Ollie, what can one say but as Jetta says Know Jesus Know Peace and this video proves you have that, someone over your back and having to not only unclog the blockage but cleanup too !!!! Brother you definitely Know Peace , blessing to you and family this New Year and thank you for your videos.
That was a good one! You should really get a vacuum that you can put a hose on the outlet so it works like a pump as well. Would make life a lot easier on you. They use them here in Sweden.
Would be horrified to see it flooding in real time with upstairs flushes. Thanks for providing the “what this would look like” coverage in the bathroom. Ugh. And thanks for starting the cleanup. Wow.
You know it's bad when you're using the shower head to spray off a toilet in a bathroom without a floor drain. Ooof, what a mess. I'm glad you got that drain cleared for "at least a couple more years." Well done.
This brings back memories of when I used to live in a ground floor apartment. Got a blocked drain and the inevitable overflow. It was wiped from upstairs in my case,though not roots
@@mickpercival Sorry bout that, the Drain gang became too much work juggling the job and their antics. Glad you came on the journey! all the best, God Bless!
😀👍 Yes Ali I once had a situation like that when my mother was alive and the apartment we live in now. The toilet one night that let go upstairs it was coming through the light it was coming up the bathroom and everything they finally fixed it and it was all right they left they told us to let the light dry out and it worked fine after thank you.

Ikrr
Watching this on the toilet really makes you feel like you're there.
Haaaahaaa
That's funny
Watch out that Ollie's hose doesn't accidentally surprise you! *LUL*
😂
That sounds real funny🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣🤣😂😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣🤣😂🤣 hahahaahaahahaaaaaaaaaaaahahaha
If I walked into a mess like that, I'd break down and cry. Good job!
Everytime I see this dude swing his arms swing while walking just makes me laugh. I love it!
bruh I was thinking the same thing, he a character for sure
Hahahaha was thinking the same
He do it for jokes or for a reason lol?
Uk what’s the sound at the beginning of the video? Like some bird sound idk
@@Domini86😂😂😂😂
You sir really deserve every single penny you charge for this.
Omg right. I’m sitting here wondering how they clean up after. Who do u call for that 🤣
This needs a bomb or a hazmat suit. I can’t believe she asked this guy to clean it too. That’s not his job.

Nice job Ollie! As usual. One vote to bring the drain gang back.
At least just Ratty. He was your OG. Miss him.
Belíssimo trabalho,boy. 🇧🇷
Add my vote to that
Where are they?
I vote to bring the drain gang back.
Its people like you Ollie that literally keep this world running
100% agree on what you wrote!
what kind off toilet is that
@Chrismorris30 One that a bunch of idiots decided that you need.
If the world had the runs then there wouldn’t be as many clogs 😂
Running or should that be keep it flushing
The amount of bleech I would use in there would be ILLEGAL!
When those feces smeared on the toilet I honestly felt for you Ollie, all the way from the USA I felt for you!
This is funny to me for some reason💀
No fr tho
I’m new here. Was having sewer issues myself. These videos have changed my whole perspective about what plumbers go through. Thank you from Oklahoma U.S.A.!
Ok here as well!
The way he swings his arms while walking kills me dead 🤣.. On a side note, God bless this ol boy for being able to do a job like this..
While watching this video, I couldn’t help but thinking “I’m so sorry for this lady.” Glad DA cleared the drain. What a mess! Best channel on CZcams. Cheers!
She will wait for it to dry, throw a fresh coat of paint on it, and charge twice as much rent for it in no time. What's black mold? Never heard of it.
God bless you, sir, for what you have to deal with and for keeping a smile on your face while doing so.
At least where I live in the USA , as soon as the drain flows , they pack up and leave. No attempt at any cleanup. Thanks for all you do for your customers!!
My thoughts exactly. Never had a worker do anything extra besides clearing it and mess up our driveway cleaning their own tools.
It never fails to amuse me how the aussie folk like to landscape their gardens and just cover up any drainage access 😂
I don't know if it's all of them. Remember we only witness those who have issues. There might be a correlation.
@@blacksarlacc91 Ooh, good point! Lol
It's an international problem. I have to deal w/ people frequently landscaping over their water meter boxes. I've seen more than a few driveway extensions pave over them also. The meter box contains their shut-off valve so good luck to them if they ever have to get to it.
I was about to say. Happens often in America to. Drain access. Wells. Septic systems. Pretty common.
@@blacksarlacc91 very valid point ❤

Thanks, you too@doxx2427!👍👍
@@DrainAddict why do you have the same bird sound effect every video 😂😂
@@schaefer8704 oh yeah, why do you have that?
It's a Kookaburra laughing at all the funny bits.
@Schaefer it's an old joke.

He simply does not clean and desinfect his gear.
Ollie isn't too bothered by a bit of fecal matter stuck to his tools, car or clothes. All part of the job
He also probably hasn't gotten sick in 20 years. Being around all that "stuff" your bodies immune system is so amped up. It just shakes off everything
I don’t think he disinfects the gear haha
If I was him I just wouldn't shower at all. Why bother wasting so much water and soap, when you're going to just get dirty again tomorrow morning?
I love how you make it look like we're playing a first person shooter with your arm movement even u walk lol
Had a situation at my grandmother's house. She never went into the basement because of steep steps. Months of toilet flushing and showers built up in the basement after the clay pipe collapsed. We only noticed because the house was awfully humid.....
Were you not able to smell it upstairs? I don't want to imagine the smell in the apartment featured in this video.
@@jamescollins6085 surprisingly not. Basement was sealed up tight. No central air
@@Glipsnarp At least you know the house is well insulated
Mad props for helping with the clean up, I can honestly say I've never dealt with a plumber who went above and beyond like that. I've had plumbers refuse to work until after the area was clean.
Honestly good for them it’s not their job to clean up someone else’s shit (literally).
The locator he uses really does sound like something off some kind of old school sci-fi show.

Takes a special kind of man to do this type of work. I hope you earn well buddy.
Yep I could not do it all that poop no wonder plumbers get played well
Love the multiple camera angles Ollie, reminds me of post10. Great video and great channel, wish you all the success for 2023
Ollie, you're the man, man. Thank you so much for posting. Every video is like an adventure. Even if it seems mundane to you, it's exciting for us!
Now this is how you start a new year. Great job Ollie!
Lovely day to get outside Ollie. I know that the client was amazed at the jetter's efficiency. And relieved to see the blockages are clear. What a bugger those palm/bamboo roots can be.
The number of times I say, "Well Ollie, another fine mess you've gotten us into," is incalculable.
Through wind, rain, and even snow, Oliver will unclog any drain that he knows. Good job Oliver!👍👏
Edit: clean up on isle 3,4,5,6,and 9. Maintenance person please to the rescue.
Multi angle poop volcano really stepping up your game Ollie!!!
Man, who simply and professionally doing his job!
Thanks a lot Bro!
People like you is a framework of healthy economy
I would not want to be the next tenant in that space. What a mess. Job well done, Ollie!

If they have insurance it should be covered for the repairs I imagine…
Disaster recovery knows what to do to make it livable again.
Cracking job as per usual, keeping customer reassured. A hero without a cape is Ollie
Nice job Ollie. Glad that you were able to help this lady out!
OLLIE is a very good cleaner who can do everything from unblocking to cleaning greetings from the Netherlands hans👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🍀
👍👍
Excellent methodical work to clean up a toilet war zone. Your customer. Must be so grateful Ollie.
I can’t imagine at a dirtier job thank goodness we have people like him
You are way more than a glorified toilet bowl cleaner! Professional always. Magnificent job.
Love your videos! You’re literally my favorite CZcamsr ❤ they really make my days when I don’t feel well like today 😊 I hope you have a great day and and who ever sees this ❤😊
Agreed i love his channel i look so forward to seeing his videos hes the best hands down.🙂🐀👍✌🐀
Oh a messy one, love it! Never stop.. please.
All goood. All gooood. Another excellent completed project. Your the best! Cheers Ollie!!!!😊
Nothing like an episode of Drain Addict on a good ol Tuesday. Glad I'm off today!
Don’t you miss the good times it’s been 12 years since this guy has epic channel
I can’t imagine how this smelled, I’m glad to have a front row seat without having to smell it at all!
You amazing me! Sir! Thanks for sharing your world with all of us! “All Good” 👍
You really went above and beyond on that job!! She should be very happy.
I'd say now is the perfect time for a complete bathroom remodel with a floor drain and check valve added.
Always puts a smile on my face when the Drain Addict notification pops up
Another job well done. Another customer forever greatful.
First I thought, you‘d been in a hurry. But it was the cutting. Fun to watch. As always. 👍
yay more great content. keep up the good work
I still get so excited when you come out with a new video! I've enjoyed your work for a good while now but I am so missing the drain gang! They enhanced your videos with a bit of whimsy! I vote that their vacation should come to an end and they need to get back to work! Love from Las Vegas ❤️!
Ratty was the one that made these different from all the others. We want our Ratty back.
Ollie well done USA plumper myself and I must say when I run to the end of my pipes to see what comes thru, you can outrun me backwards lol.....u really went above n beyond. Something these young kids now a days coming out of trade school don't do. They just hear the ad for school saying earn 100k a year or more and learn to half ass it. Best wishes, keep on cleaning the focus out those drain pipes, see u on the other side some say
Really good job on cleaning. You’re a real working man.
Excellent job Ollie and excellent camera work with the toilet shots. All good !
That is why in my dream bathroom, I want a drain in the floor just in case something overflows or floods.
floor drains work great.... but when they clog the shit flows in both directions.
Just make sure u put a check valve in the drain line so water only goes one way & u don't get a poop fountain out of the floor drain
Ollie, what can one say but as Jetta says Know Jesus Know Peace and this video proves you have that, someone over your back and having to not only unclog the blockage but cleanup too !!!! Brother you definitely Know Peace , blessing to you and family this New Year and thank you for your videos.
Great job, thanks for last year’s entertainment. Hope you have a safe and healthy new year.
Glad it's not smellyvision.
That was a good one! You should really get a vacuum that you can put a hose on the outlet so it works like a pump as well. Would make life a lot easier on you. They use them here in Sweden.
Can you tell me the brand and model? Tack!
Would make life a lot easier yes, but would it make the channel more entertaining? I think not. :)
What kind would that be that can have water pass through the fan and also work as a vacuum?
Fiorentini F46 F2 is an example. They have a built in pump that is water level triggered. This one is quite bulky, might exist smaller ones.
Another amazing job Ollie ! Regards from France
I am new to this canal, but you doing a very god job for people in the community. 👍from norway 🇳🇴
Ótimo trabalho Ollie!!! Você é um Ótimo profissional, gosto muito dos seus videos 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷 Jesus o Abençoe!
One of the best channels on youtube. Im gonna look into this kind of work. I used to do carpet cleaning and it was pretty gross, which equals fun.
Great work Ollie! Awesome at what you do!
A true professional! All the appreciation for you
That was a heck of a blocked drain. Ollie always has the answers
Well done. I miss Ratty and the gang.
What happened to the drain gang seriously I miss em too?
@@BigkevdawgNSLBC I don't know.
That’s weird one day their there and the next…..gone like a fart in the wind
Why did I just hear ratty laugh???
Salute to you sir, much respect for what you do. 👍👍
Best video this year so far...Happy 2023
Would be horrified to see it flooding in real time with upstairs flushes. Thanks for providing the “what this would look like” coverage in the bathroom. Ugh. And thanks for starting the cleanup. Wow.
And fascinated! Hehe.
I think right around 3:57 I'd just pack up my car and move on to start my new life, no way I'm going back to that bathroom.
lol
Always nice to see a pro at work
Well done Ollie, you put the work in on this one with that clean up.
Cheers for the video mate.

Brilliant work Ollie, great start in the New Year. keep those video's coming.
Not watched a DA video in a few months and I think I've lost my immunity 🤢
That was sure a messy surprise for the property owner! Seemed like she felt sorry for the mouse for a minute there. 😁
Excellent job there Ollie, liked the dual camera work!!
Awesome to see the main tools in your arsenal being in used successfully in one job.
Miss Ratty and Drain gang in your vids lately.. will they be back?
How is that tiny shop vac still alive
올 한해 재미잏게 잘 시청햇어요
내년에도 좋은영상 기대합니돠
Great job as always, Ollie!
Where's the drain gang
just let nus know is ratty coming back or no? please
No!

Always so comforting to hear the faint hum of dependable 'genie' in the background...❤
These are officially the best videos to fall asleep to. It's oddly soothing
Let's get dirty. Is it just me or dose everyone else just wait for the day to see ollie.?
110%
There's 4 MILLION% to see ollie
We need a Tv show staring Ollie. That would be the best show ever.
The videos yes. However, (and I'm just joking) he's not that good looking.😜 Again.. just a little joke.
Love your work, am in the middle of 7 day quarantine with the dreaded Rona so have decided to binge on drain addict
Yes to the drain gang!!!! We miss them! 🐀🐊🪳
