A pretty interesting Youtube channel about a man clearing and fixing clogged storm drains and culvert pipes, making water flow away

Here's the channel, Post 10:

He goes and fix clogged storm drains on rainy days and remove blocked debris in river culverts.



I liked this channel, in that it's improving and maintaining civil infrastructures that was built in the past, but was left neglected.

It's nice to watch sometimes, so I wanted to share the channel here.

Moist.

I've been down that YouTube hole myself.

looks like my shower after draino

 

[Zorg1000]

I work in sewer/water, it always sucks when tying a new main into an existing manhole and finding it clogged with debris.

 

[Smurf]

oh wow, he drained the whole street alone, good on him. Wish he would wear gloves tho

I absolutely fucking despise this term you have just summoned into existence.

But I respect it.

He does. But if it's not full of sludge, or he's not clearing out the river culverts, he usually does it by hand, since it's just rainwater.

 

[Einchy]

I made a mental note to know where the drains in my street were before Dorian hit (thankfully it never did) because of this guy.

 

[PeakPointMatrix]

why

was that so oddly satisfying, watching a street get drained?

Oh god you're fucking right

It seems like it would have drained anyway, though?

 

[No_Style]

That was interesting. Thanks for sharing!

 

[Poppy]

add to watch later

 

[CrankyJay]

Wow. What a hero.

 

[Man God]

Unclogging these things helps everyone and does look cool when you do it. As a kid me and my siblings would sometimes undam a creek behind our house so the outlet would flow to the marshes next to it and there's few things more gratifying than seeing a trickle become a rushing torrent.

trigger warning, folks

I skipped through a lot of thr video in thr op but damn, that street drained pretty quickly considering the state of it at the start of thr video. I get that's the point of drains but still, fair play to the dude.

Very slowly, because the drains were clogged/blocked which is why the street and the nearby field were flooded. You could see how quickly it drained away once he moved all the crap from the top of the drain so the water could flow freely.

It obviously would have drained anyways but he expedited the process. If someone does that during a normal prolonged flood they could definitely protect some property.

I live on a city street that gets flooded pretty often if a heavy thunderstorm comes through and it makes me wonder if that is an issue.

 

[Cats]

He critiques the point of not having the water naturally drain down the hill to the river but I'm assuming the point of using the pipes is so that it doesn't create washouts and eventually mudslides that could endanger the road or hillside. Errosion would eventually happen if you're collecting water on sidewalks, compacted ground, and the road and then spilling it over the hill.

 

[Javaman]

What is up with those assholes speeding up and splashing him. Awful people.

 

[Freakzilla]

hes a fucking hero

I think they're trying to power through their bad decision once they realize the water is actually 2-3 feet deep.

now im getting a bunch of ads for tactical flashlights and shit from some 4PATRIOTS OUTLET shop

Why would nature conspire against man like this?

 

[CountAntonio]

The man is a hero.

 

[Kalnet]

Definitely adding this to my "Watch later" list. I'm quite curious how all these draining process goes.

If you watch other videos in his channel, he explains certain storm drains and culverts and what they were built for.

 

[Laserbeam]

well I just watched a man play around in some water and unclog some drains for 25 minutes.

And then hit the subscribe button.

Thanks!

 

[TiC]

Oddly satisfying

 

[Cantaim]

Oh I am so fucking in!

 

[Acorn]

The birth of the next hydraulic press?

 

[greepoman]

That's cool and all but I'm not gonna go out doing that because what if one of those drains had been close to failure for some reason? Seems like a good way to get sucked down to your death if the grate were to suddenly give way.

 

[g23]

Reminds me of the hero of the Houston floods from awhile back:

 

[VirtuaModel]

I just watched the whole video! It's pretty satisfying watching the street become more clear over time. I'll be tempted to try this myself next time I come across a flooded street.

 

[Deleted member 21709]

Great video.

I'll be sure to check it out. Thanks!

 

[Middleman]

Ok this is cool but somebody has to help him shoot, and time-lapse this shit.

 

[Laser Man]

Seems interesting, will add to YT pile of stuff to watch!

 

[RecRoulette]

Damn I wanna try this the next time my street floods, don't have the boots for it though.

That's wildly unlikely

 

[Handicapped Duck]

I binged two hours of his videos last night and he got another subscriber. Oddly calming watching a guy go around clearing storm drains and watching water flush itself.

 

[SolmisateSol]

I'm glad this guy is giving visibility to maintenance work. That shit can be ROUGH, HARD WORK and it's so easy to take for granted how much labor goes into making society function.

Unrelated: There's a whole swath of informative, useful shit on Youtube it's absolutely fucking bonkers.

 

[ItIsOkBro]

asmr storm drain clearing

 

[Slayven]

I am going to watch these, like them, then later find out he is advocating for a race war?

 

[Einchy]

This guy's videos made me realize just how much shit probably never gets fixed up. I mean, some of the work he's doing is stuff that has built over years.

 

[BigAT]

His next video is explaining why a certain "bad element" needs to be drained out of society and that we need to unclog the welfare pipe that has been keeping them afloat.

 

[blame space]

"you know what this reminds me of? the ocean."

*rummaging through the woods*
"WHERE'S THE PIPE?"
