    Great video. I love the picture in picture you are now using. It is fascinating to see the workings while it is happening.

    I really like how you bring us on your journey to the job site. I for one will never afford to go to Australia which I’ve always wanted to go. This gives me a small view of a country I’ve always wanted to visit. Thanks Gavin I Appreciate You. Thanks for the great videos too.

    The powerful force of water and wind, be it nature or man-made never ceases to amaze me. From hurricanes and tornadoes, to simply clearing blocked waterline, two can create irreversible damage where the later amazingly gives older lines new life.

    Real finesse in retrieving that camera head, but by crikey the third chapter of these roots had me remembering the days when workers were paid "Danger money"-and you would absolutely deserve it.

  • @MeUrWishGranted
    @MeUrWishGranted Před rokem +2

    When you went to the IOS and the water started spraying, in my head I heard "POOOOOOOOP" in your voice like how you say "rooooots". 😅 🤎🤎🖤🩶

  • @xxBlazinBobxx
    @xxBlazinBobxx Před rokem +8

    That looked to be a fair bit of work, Gavin! Impressed with how you got the jetter and camera to go up those branches where you needed them to. Bummer about the camera skid popping off 17:30, but it looks like retrieval wasn't too big of a deal.

  • @allenbeaulieu7077

    I'm figuring with the amount of bad joints and you coming out two times a year at around two hours or more at time, this guy would be saving a ton of money to have the joints relined or even just digging it all up and redoing it would save a good chunk of money.
    Another job well done Gavin. R O O T S 😊😊

  • @slc1161
    @slc1161 Před rokem +2

    What a mess those pipes are! I think if I were the homeowner, it’d be time to dig and lay some new wider pvc pipes. Connect some to the accesses, if possible. Fighting roots and damaged pipe that is just going to get more damaged over time makes no sense to me. There’s a time to say goodbye to the old pipes. Maybe even remove some of the old pipes and lay new pipe? You did a bang-up job of clearing and freeing up what you could.

  • @martinmarsola6477

  • @JamesRoe1010
    @JamesRoe1010 Před rokem +3

    Hey Gavin you might think about taking a pvc cap that fits over those toilet connections and drilling one or two holes in it big enough for your camera and Jetter hose to fit through. Then you wouldn’t have so much area to have to cover to prevent splash back.

  • @flybyairplane3528

    Crikey Gavin, you sure do have some shonky workmanship down your way - when it comes to building work and especially installing drains. You have to ask... what sort of Plum can't even install a vertical length of soil pipe correctly like that one dropping down off that toilet. Anyway, thanks for another great video. 🖕

    2:32 That looks like the nasty mouse eared chick weed around the drain. I have in places in my yard (USA). I kill it with coffee grounds. So far it seems to work. Sends out nasty shoots all over the grass.
