Mr Drains #23 - Blocked Drain A Long Way From The Road

To just see the drain unblocking parts fast forward to: 2:20 & 13:50
Blocked sewer drain at the back of a house down a long walk.
I chose to use the flex shaft first as if it had cleared the drain, it would have been fast. I ran about 9m (30 feet approximately) into the line & it did not clear so then chose to jet the line.
The jet cleared the line quickly at under the 9m (30 feet) I had gone to using the flex shaft & in hindsight I think the blockage was so chunky & thick it closed around the shaft. If I had run the flex shaft back in & out two or three times I think the drain would have cleared without having to jet.
Thanks for dropping by - if you enjoyed the video consider sharing it with a friend & subscribing to get new video notifications. Look forward to seeing you next time.

    Up, down, turn, down, up around then back again...and that was just to get to the drain! 🤪

    That’s an absolutely beautiful neighbourhood.....but I imagine it’s not one to live in if you’ve got arthritis! The building and plot location / design is intriguing, I’m sure there is town planning but it’s confusing to look at! You have an awesome way with dogs too 😊

    Yes, absolutely no fun walking up & down those hills with arthritis. I don't think he would have bitten, but I don't like going onto other properties without the owners permission unless its essential & he wasn't keen. The town planning was initially done in England & we have a few interesting streets.

    You said ground up eggshells in the drain, so you must have garbage disposal sinks then? There was a brief fad in the U.K. for them, until people got the message they’re generally a bad idea. I’m not sure whether the EU legislated either against them.

    Hmmm metric started in school way back in about ohhh standard 1 or 2 from memory which would have been in the later 60s. Surely you learnt it too. Imperials just don't work for most of the population these days unless you are american.
