Your point is right on! But here in the US and the northern freezing area that drain wouldn’t work but only a few months out of year! Also keep in mind water seeks it’s own level! And it’s apparent that the “old” drain has already been repaired (Note screen and zip ties) so why not dig under other-side of fence and find other end and re-hook it? In Michigan anything to stop freezing problems needs to be below minimum of 42” under the topsoil! However we can use French drain here but our main lines to drain most be below or at the minimum depth! So back to my point, you have crushed drain but that ok because water will still flow through a pipe no matter it shape! I’ll add a disclaimer though, unless it’s crushed completely flat and what that camera showed in this video it’s “Not” crushed flat! So with the camera insert(street side) in crush pipe side of drain you can calculate the distance from curb to where the pipe started to be crushed. Then start digging up old line at that distance from curb while cutting the sod into squares and putting them upside down on a tarp to be put back in place once repairs have been made Now with both ends of pipe being found it make the job of re-hooking simple! But at this point I must add whoever already made the repairs before did you wrong because that person could have fixed it right it that time for the price of an inexpensive plastic pipe and a few minutes at a hardware store So back to project! Now take the zip ties off old drain pipe then reattach to section of crushed pipe properly per your local codes! Then take screen back to open drain in floor or patio, Re-install/secure the screen so the screen would only let water pass through. Myself I would prefab two square frames that would wedge into the open floor drain so nothing would pass round the screens and put them a foot [about .304 meter (Please excuse my conversion if I’m wrong… a lifetime of never using the metric system/method)] apart which would give you a visual or or a clear line of sight of each screens so anything getting caught in screen can be removed before flooding the entire area! Once all of the connections are completed re-bury the drain lines and return sod to the original position! Job now done and I’ll bet I could have done most of the repairs for less $30 US dollars once this man has found the problem and his cost was covered! Actually finding the real problem is usually what cost so much! I did love your water pressure system but I have used a shop vacuums and anger the same way! The estimate of $70??? Is a pipe dream of lazy contractor who give this type of bid knowing their workers will repair the problem while doing the new up dates… pipe dreams!

That crushed pipe - I guess it's because someone was driving a too heavy vehicle over it and it was not buried deep enough. That fence is not a fence but a gate (or how did that boat and trailer get there?), I'd assume someone pushed it in with a car or a pickup truck or some such, crushing the pipe.

Where this was filmed our lowest day time temp recorded is 50f so really no chance of anything freezing here. And that drain and pipe is clearly something added a long time after that house was built. To be fair some homeowner wanting a cheap fix for flooding would have done that lol and that was never connected to the original main pipes. The bloke probably gave himself a good pat on the back after the job was done.

Dig out where the Blockage then cut out and replace the pipe with an Access Junction No. 1 Straight Through Chamber for 110mm pipe same and depending on the damage you could get away with just that chamber and raisers a Frame and Cover for that AJ, failing that more new Pipework would have to be fitted and a few slip, Sewer Pipe Repair Collars 110mm ( 4") could sort same out....also packing and ramming under and around same with course Grit so as to maintain the fall ...and get them out of trouble...basically their Choice very lucky they met someone like yourself... great work, Great Channel...

There is one cheap and extremely halfarsed way of bodging the fall in that grate/slot drain which is to lay a layer (more like a wedge) of concrete in the bottom of it that's sloped so that it creates a new floor to the channel with the correct fall. You'd end up with one end of the channel being very shallow and you'd need to scar up the concrete in the bottom of the channel a hell of a lot to get the new concrete to stick to it.

I got a quote of $11,000 US to put a French drain around the inside perimeter of my house, install a sump & pump and run a discharge line out. I passed and hired a few local labor guys. Trained them and inspected their work as the progressed. Material and labor for all was $2,500. Took 3 days. Maybe it’s me but to dig a small trench run a drain pipe and connect to the existing drain line for 20 thousand Australian is nuts. Yeah I know exchange rate still nuts.

I can buy 2 brand new cars for 70k in the US! Your price is much more reasonable. I hope she calls you back. We would love to see that video!

Why the hell did they use a flimsy ole pipe in the first place? And the pipe seemed to stop at the fence, sealed with an old rag... My Dad was a 'jack of all trades', so to me it's common sense, if you're gonna bury a pipe underground, use something sturdy You're talking bout 60 ft, almost a straight line... Dig a ditch, gravel foundation and use a PVC pipe attach A - B... Also use a smaller grade of grate on patio... I'm no professional but geeze, I'd be tempted to do it myself... Oh... and use some sort of detachable screening at the end so the frogs don't get in?

Jet downstream up the blockage. Allows water to drain instead of the backup you created.

How is that possible given I had no idea where the end of the pipe was??? In this situation you need to investigate 🔬 and find where the pipe is going first

I love your video but could you answer a couple of questions if you have time? Besides the very high pressure of the jets do you have to worry about chemicals? I would imagine drain cleaners. fertilizers, and other chemicals that could eat your skin exist in the standing water. It seems that 99% of the reptiles in Australia can kill you but what is the most fearsome creature you have encountered? Its a spider, right? What is the cutest one? Thanks for the videos, cheers.

70k is roughly 7k USD? Remember people all over watch so you have to verify..

I am going to guess you charged on or about 1/100th the price of the scam plumber. My estimate is very liberal.

Wait a minute. How much is 20k aussie to US dollars? And why would they use a flimsy ribbed pipe when a stiff smooth pipe is what the job calls for. I don't get it.

That should be a smooth drain pipe...not a ribbed pipe. It clearly shows the ribbes are full of debris. Wrong pipe being used. Watch Gate city drain to see for yourself on KZfaq...great channel.

To replace all of that pipe and concrete etc is probably about a $70,000 job. But why not try to jet it and put a camera thru first rite

I run into the same shit here in the states doing mechanical/hvac work. Dickheads constantly quoting new systems… I get called in and $200/350 later the system is running and is good to go for years

That first plumber is why people don't trust contractors and tradespeople. I'm sure the quote you actually gave was fair and something they will probably end up doing. It almost looks like something one could do oneself, but I don't know the laws there.
