Drain Cleaning AUSTRALIA — Sewage system that is blocked by paper towels, concrete fragments, and roots
Bruce (Drain Cleaning AUSTRALIA @ YouTube) is working in a washroom with a toilet that isn’t draining properly. He starts by trying to plunge the toilet, but this isn’t successful.
He then goes outside, and locates the inspection opening in a box under a metal lid. There appears to be some toilet paper and sewage backed up inside the box. After prodding around inside the box briefly with a long drill bit, he pulls out some toilet paper and what appear to be light blue paper towels.
The high-pressure water jetter is used to clear the drain, and some more of the blue paper towels are removed by hand before they continue through the system. When the drain appears to be clear, the drain camera is used to check the line. What seems to be a fragment of concrete is discovered to still be in the line. This piece is removed by hand, but some more pieces of concrete are soon located using the camera.
Two more chunks of debris are removed by snagging them with the jetting hose and nozzle while the jetter is turned off, and then pulling them out of the drain pipe through the inspection opening. The camera is used once again to check the line, and some tree roots are found, although no more pieces of concrete are found. Even before the roots are removed, the toilet is tested, and it is flushing better.
