Gavin you made me get funny looks from my wife on this one. Sitting here settled in with some popcorn and my headphones on, and start laughing out loud. This was the most honest how it is, laid back, no frills funny video to date you have put out. Love the shout out to your Daughter and the leaf races, nice for people to understand there is a human side to every profession, and that is things happen, we cant please them all, and we have families as well. I felt you on the I am only 1 person thing because that is me. I own my business, run my business, and do all the work. I to, though I try my best have to turn down work because me can only go so far and leave room for the family. Thank you for this one, my top 5 drain clearing video of the thousands I have watched. Shout out to the toad and the funny face ball for taking one for the team, they earned the bath on that one.

I wondered about the hazard oversight when I saw you with sandals instead of normal shoes. But, barefoot? In the U.S. the oversight agency is OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration). They can levy some hefty fines, but being spread thin, small operators don't have much to worry about. Good job there, Gavin. On to the next one.

So maybe a previous owner drove cars over it quite often. New guy comes along and puts grass or sod down over it all. The results is what happens over time. New pipe needed from curb to the sidewalk at least. Damn rain!🌧Phone is ringing off the hook! Giving great service to customers one at a time!

good job. is there any video. where you show the inside , the look on your camera? sometimes you mention it, but ii have nowhere seen one.

Being as close to the curb as it is, something tells me that a Car/Truck has rolled over it a few times.

I wish you were in the states.. I bought a home and had an issue with a blocked drain for a sump pump.. Hired a plumber and he went 5 feet up the end of the pipe at the street and said he couldn't find any blockage but could dig up my yard for $1500... Turns out about 5 feet from the exterior junction was a clog and something odd.. styrofoam plates.. i assume from a kid at some point in owners past.. I dug up the yard myself and i'm sure the jetter could have saved me a bunch of digging. Odd stuff found in pipes

Great job! That was a hot mess! Whoever did either the concrete work or the pipe work did an awful job. No regard for the pipe opening. Seen that a couple of times. Are the road crews who put curbing in so lacking in observational skills? As for the shoe situation, you should consider a couple pairs of crocs, which can handle wet and mud. Or garden shoes. They are all rinseable and do a decent job of keeping mud off the feet. Just a thought. And I wanted to cry over the gas price. $1.69. We'll never see that again. I'm betting after chasing these drains and all the mud you just go home, jump in the shower to rinse off, then enjoy a cold one while relaxing in a tub.

How do you do it, no not the drain cleaning, but working outside BAREFOOTED and not step on a stone . You did a great job again,, nice one.

Take a shovel. Cut the grass into squares. Put it next to the ditch. Do whatever you need to do to the pipe (or what left of it). After you have had your way with it, put the perfect grass back on the ditch. You buthered a whole lot of grass just because you think it's faster and easier for you. But it will take half a year for that grass to restore some roots and cover up your butchery.

Hate to see how many more cracked pipe in a majority of the calls you make

Everyone wants to believe that they are your ONLY customer, and you have nothing better to do than to sit and wait for their calls, then respond instantly. Then they complain about the bill. Really? If you want THAT kind of service, you need to pay me a salary.

Who needs shoes? I'd rather be barefoot in that situation than stomping around in soaked shoes.

Not saying you should do this but "The Barefoot Penetrator" sounds kinky...

Honestly, if you are going to have pipes that close to the surface, it needs to be able to take the weight of a vehicle, more evidence Aussie pipe standards are shite.

It’s the Aussie way but if work cover do come round whack on a pair of thongs

Climate geoengineering. Bad for people. Good for plumbers.

You were there why didn't you just replace the broken pipe for the elderly lady I'm sure she would have paid you generously. Especially since the other guy canceled already. It would have took you two long look like pretty easy digging, if you had a real shovel!!! 🛁🎥👍
