Praise Jesus. It worked 💪. I bought a drain bladder from a local hardware store. Returned home to insert the bladder into sewer pipe. It worked. The most difficult part was ensuring the bladder is routed toward the sewer instead of back into the house

I'm on a septic system and started hearing a gurgle from the kitchen sink drain. pulled the service cap off the septic tank and found it was ready to be emptied. Figured that must be causing the problem. Had that done and the next thing we knew the toilets were backing up. Did a little research and found there is a blockage in the pipe to the tank. Tried putting a small nozzle down the cleanout pipe outside but nasty things were coming back up. My suspicion was right, had a block at the tank. Called a plumbing service and they wanted 425.00 + to come out. And that would be in 2-3 days. Thank God for this video! Went to the big box store and picked up a bladder, came home, stuck it in the pipe as directed in this video and in 5 min all was golden! Try it! You'll like it! My wife and I sure did! We love saving money! Thank you soooo much for this video!

Tried this today and it removed the blockage in my main line! Professional company wasn't able to remove the blockage a week ago and still charged me 700$ and was pressuring me to get them to dig a whole new leach field. Thank you for this video!

Thank You, Thank YOU‼️ Roto Rooter Quoted $12k, But Could Do A Temporary Fix For $1.5k. My Brother, Had Me Rent A 50 Ft Snake And Buy The Bladder Set. I Can't Stop Crying, This Worked Great ❤ I've Shared Your Video With Everyone‼️May God Bless You Forever‼️

Most of the big name plumbing/rooting companies in my area are literally thieves. $300 job and they will quote thousands up to $20,000. Whatever they think you are stupid enough to pay.

I used a rag towel to hold the hose onto the sewer line,and let the water pressure to do the job. Same mechanism,and it works.

Awesome video, did this wrong 3 years ago, got the bladder stuck, snaked every 6 months since until today. Line is clear. It worked perfectly!!!😊

Bought 1 for $10 at harbor freight and I was done in 30mins unclogging the main line. Thanks a lot

wow, 51 years old and never seen one. Thaank you so much. You are the coolest.

This work for me today. I put a metal string inside the water hose so I could bend the pipe to the shape that I need and it was easy job.

Ive used it many times. Very effective. Particularly good for TP jams. A note on the comments. The pressure isnt that intense to cause damage. If it become detached it deflates and a router rooter can clear it

This is exactly what i was looking for! Thanks for making the video. I just ordered it from Amazon.

Thanks I was working in the main line for hours trying to get it unclogged! Went and got the bladder took couple minutes and was clear! Thank you!!!!

You can also, with great care, use this to find the location of the blockage but you must have extra people to monitor the kitchen and bathrooms when you do this. Great video!

As a plumber that has and still uses these from time to time for minor blockages mainly cleaning residual debris after the line is cleared with a cable. If you put this in a pipe in your home or any building if it doesn't clear all the water will backfeed from that open pipe and come out all over your floor.

As someone who spent 2 years as a service plumber and is actively working at a hydro jetting company these tools, while effective, are incredibly situational and usually are only effective if they are used at a access location where there is no other tie ins or vents between the insertion and blockage if there are other tie ins or vents there is a very real risk of flooding via the tie in or vent

Great video, Thank you for this!

Of recently borescope digital cameras have come down in price. We are talking less than $100. They often had a reach of about 16 feet and some connect to a Smartphone or to a dedicated 5 inch display. It will allow you confirm a blockage is gone or some other problem like a cracked pipe which allows roots and other things inside the line. But the expansion bladder does pay for itself in one unclogging. Use it FIRST before sending a camera down the drain and don't use an old bladder because rubber dry rots even after a few years .

They work great, they even work in RV's. I suggest a 4-6' hose with a cut-off valve to put on the end of the main hose and use only it for sewers, that way you don't get your big expensive hose in the shit and you can work this with one person because you don't want it popping out when you turn the hose on which can happen if you don't do it properly.

Thank you so much. Total life saver.

Mine was a straight pipe almost to the end of the sewer line, where the city would have been responsible, and it worked like a charm. As others have said, can't work on everything but where it will work, it works.

Love all the plumbers in here telling everyone it won't work just spend the $$$ for them to come out, lol. Similar to mechanics mechanics that want you to think you can't do any work on your car without them or hair dressers that tell you cant possibly color you hair at home properly. This is worth a try I just wouldn't turn on the water full blast to start.

You had a friendly Roto-Rooter person. I called Roto-Rooter the first time the mainline clogged and had the absolute worst-case scenario. The worker pretended to attempt to clear the block and then pretended to try again. Then started talking about the pipe needing replacing. Luckily, I am not mechanical, so I contacted my brother and father to ask their opinion and when the man heard that conversation, he left, charging me nothing. I called a local sewer company and when they came, they proved to me that the Roto-Rooter person hadn't even taken the cap off of the pipe. He had done nothing at all. They cleaned it out and told me that my pipe isn't broken and they said that there is a very widespread scam of pretending that pipes are cracked and then they crack them when they dig it up. My friend probably had that happen very close to the same time. Anyway, I found a sewer company that doesn't scam like that, but I still want to clear it once a year because there is nothing worse than having to clean the basement every few years when there is sewage everywhere.
