Penetrator Blocked Drains — “Blocked Drain 499” — Jetting from on top of a small canopy roof

Gavin (Penetrator Blocked Drains @ YouTube; Turbo Plumbing Solutions) is at a home with a blocked sewage drain. The drain system is located on the exterior wall of the house, but the vertical section of piping runs through an enclosed canopy-covered shed structure with a workbench, tools, and other items inside of it.

In order to avoid getting sewage on the items, Gavin decides to jet from on top of the canopy. He uses a ladder to climb up there, and then removes a segment of what appears to be a vent pipe. This releases some of the backed-up water, and it also gives an opening into the system that he can insert the jetting nozzle and hose through.

It doesn’t take very long to clear the blockage using the jetter. Once that’s done, he rinses down the roof he is working on top of, and manually removes some leaves and other debris that were clogging up the gutter along the edge of the canopy. Jetting on the roof did help avoid getting sewage on the various items in the shed-like structure.
