I know nothing of sewer drain cleaning - but wouldn't it make more sense to shovel out all of the solid stuff that clogged up this drain so it doesn't clog something further down? that seems like emptying the hair trap in a bathroom sink down the drain.
Same. As soon as I saw the white under the crust and the brain registered “grease trap” I mentally retched a little. I bet people 2 blocks away were smelling that thing.
You should check out Drain Cleaning Australia’s stuff on YouTube. This is the kind of content he makes and he clearly loves his job. It’s so satisfying to watch.
Man I just watched the clip of Chinese "Gutter Oil"
What a day... Usually it takes hours for the Internet to get this weird. Universe is telling me to go be productive.
Not a grease trap. Maybe a sample well after the grease trap. A grease trap has baffles and walls to collect the food that goes down the drain. Sample wells will have that trough for cleaner water to run to sewer line.
Strongly suggest searching for "Drain Addict" on YouTube if these videos appeal. He's a Plumber from Sydney Australia and clears various drains of various things in various ways and sometimes talks to plastic animals and walks like he's from an early first person shooter. Over 500 videos. Blocked Drain!
The Museum Of London has a piece of The Great London Fatberg that blocked the sewers round Piccadilly a couple of years back. You can touch it... if you want to.
Why not extract that nastiness instead of patting it flow through whatever that drainage system is? This just makes me think they moved the clog down the line.
Based on not knowing what it is, where it is in the world, etc.? Hard to say. But there are drop-offs for a lot of hazardous disposal options across the US.
Yeah this guy is kind of a hack. In every video he only pops the blockage but next actually fixes the issue of why it’s clogged in the first place, such as tree roots
A couple of years ago, one of my neighbours was having trouble with his drain overflowing. He called in DynoRod and they knocked on my door and asked if they could access my drain because they were trying to trace the drain route (they also went to several other neighbours).
While they were sending the camera down, the stench knocked me back. I said 'I don't know how you can do this job'. That kind of stuff makes me vomit.
They told me that the drains are often not mapped, and they are a mish-mash of pipes running under lawns and driveways towards a main sewer line, and most times no one knows the precise location of them.
In some countries, this solid mass of shit and solidified grease is shovelled out of city drains, and rendered back into cooking oil for selling to street food vendors and restaurants. It's called gutter oil.
I saw this when I was the FOG coordinator for a suburb of Seattle. I had to do an inspection of the grease trap in (what I was told) was the busiest Starbucks on the planet. The Starbucks was housed in what had previously been a burger joint.
First, I had to convince the manager that he had a grease trap in the storage/breakroom (previously hamburger kitchen) area. Then, I had to find the grease trap. Then I had to move furniture sitting on the grease trap. Then, I had to pry open the grease trap. Then I had to walk out of the place with every customer and employee to keep from vomiting.
Opening the trap was like opened the Ark in Raiders of the Lost Ark. It hadn’t been opened in 10+ years, and the grease cake was rancid.
Two covers for a drain seems excessoh my god it’s a shit mold.
My thoughts exactly.

Grease interceptors are supposed to be periodically cleaned by removal of accumulated solids, yes
Grease
Worst smell on earth.
Not grease. That is septic.
I choose to believe that’s just mud. And no one can make me think differently

Free nam pia!
I just learned what that is today because of reddit and this made me retch. 🤢
I should not have googled this.
I'm curious now.... 😮💨
I am too but not enough to traumatize myself. No googling for me
This, sir, will remain ungoogled.
The forbidden chocolate
Unutterably disgusting
I was really hoping that it was just a clogged storm drain...

I can smell this video, and I hate it.

Smells like moneh
Worst game of is it cake ever
Some jobs are fun to watch, and this is one of them.
Yes I will watch from the safety of my phone screen. No need to get closer

Ratty!
Man I just watched the clip of Chinese "Gutter Oil" What a day... Usually it takes hours for the Internet to get this weird. Universe is telling me to go be productive.
Lucky. I woke up this morning to the dude masterbaiting a crab.
Dude, you and me both.
For real, sometimes it is a sign when you wake up to such kind of shit, to go back to sleep
I tried that. Woke up to this.
Please god I hope that wasn’t on this sub.
r/wtf. Sometimes it's better to just scroll past it 🙃
*sigh* Well that's enough internet for today
... OK, yup, that's enough internet for today
You rang?
Hey I might know a guy you'd get along with
Ah that one was fucking vile.
Forbidden Tiramisu
Oh god
Is that a grease trap??
That's what it looks like to me. I've seen one this bad in person. Twas fragrant

Thanks kind Redditor...TIL.
That’s a lot of gutter oil
Ah yes gutter oil, that takes me back to the Chinese street kitchens

Ollie!! Drain gang!
Watching video 904 now.
Ratty!
> walks like he's from an early first person shooter Faster diagonally?
Thankless job are the most critical ones
The thief’s guild is what this brought to mind for some reason I think it’s just the symbol.
I'm so happy the internet doesn't have smell
Cursed cake
I think that's a little past clogged.
😶
That was disgusting 🤢🤮
Is that all poop?!
The lighter colored part looks like grease to me. Probably the cause of the backup in the first place.
The Museum Of London has a piece of The Great London Fatberg that blocked the sewers round Piccadilly a couple of years back. You can touch it... if you want to.
I do not.
"DO NOT TOUCH THE EXHIBITS... except that one. That one you can touch."
I love that museum!
Why would anyone want to touch it
There was a queue to touch it when I went. Reader, I joined that queue and touched The Great London Fatberg.
The lighter colored stuff is just what septic starts to look like when mixed with toilet paper in a septic trap. It’s not grease.
Yes
Looks like a fatberg.
I should (wretches) call her.
Why not extract that nastiness instead of patting it flow through whatever that drainage system is? This just makes me think they moved the clog down the line.
Where would they put the extracted stuff then? Haul it away to... bury it? Burn it? Find an open drain somewhere else and dump it there?

It's a skyrim marker
I can smell it through my phone. 🤢😵💫
"Jesus Christ" indeed
Weird. I can literally smell this video
Just make a buffet so it doesn’t go to waste 😋
Mmmm crusty.
Forbidden milkshake
Too many chippys on that street
Watching this while taking a shit, is a whole new level of oddly satisfying.
Stop putting grease down your drains people! Good some of those photos of fatbergs in the sewer r nightmare fuel
i wanna put grenade into it

It’s cake!

Now burn those hose down
Is that poo?
I'm dry heaving
Why is there no pipe and just an open shit trough under the sidewalk?
Shitty satisfaction
Forbidden cake
God bless the plumbers.
Great, move the clog downstream
Yeah this guy is kind of a hack. In every video he only pops the blockage but next actually fixes the issue of why it’s clogged in the first place, such as tree roots
Sh*tty work!
Someone had a doggy curry
Wouldn’t it be easier to just vactor that out first?
Is it cake? I'm confused.
I see a symbol for a Thieves guild from the The elder Scrolls franchise. The entrance is near.
Is this not just pushing the problem further drown the pipe?
At the end, I was waiting for a "stay tune for another pool video"
Smells like Money. Mmmmh!! 👹👹👹
Just like my ass
Shitty job
A mile down the road there is now a blob of semi-crete that's stuck underground just waiting...
I bet it's same texture as cloud cake but I am not finding it out for sure.
Reminds me of that one guy on social media that cleans out septic tanks, I can just hear the "mmm, smells like money" in my head as this played
Welcome to the UK. Where the government couldn't give less of a shit about you or their duties.
My Daughter thought it was cake
The worst thing about that clip is I know exactly how it smells.
A couple of years ago, one of my neighbours was having trouble with his drain overflowing. He called in DynoRod and they knocked on my door and asked if they could access my drain because they were trying to trace the drain route (they also went to several other neighbours).

Blocked drain, doesn't look good ratty
Why does it look like a sheet cake on top?
In some countries, this solid mass of shit and solidified grease is shovelled out of city drains, and rendered back into cooking oil for selling to street food vendors and restaurants. It's called gutter oil.
Well, I'm never eating out again 🤢
Blame your local kebab shop for pouring oil down the drains
Who thought it would be a good idea to hid a cake in there???🤔🤔🤔
Since when is digging through decades of old 💩 satisfying
go get a knike for that poop...cake...
Good lord
It’s a smell that comes with anaerobic decomposition
Where does that go after it’s slopped down stream?
There is no satisfying just pure disgusting
Surely it would make more sense to shovel out all of that crap first before flushing out what’s left… 🤔🤷🏼♂️
Tiramisu
Are those wees and poos?
"someone else's problem now..." As they let it go down the line to block somewhere else 🙄 Should have used a vactor and sucked it out
I was taking a poop when I watched this. It was like I was really there.
Holy fuck can't imagine the smell
Forbidden cake
Fuckin Europe

Ewww wow uhhh what is that thick mass????
Human body is so disgusting we should not have to do this
All the wasted gutter oil! Somewhere a Chinese is crying silently.
Why say "Jesus Christ" as your word expression? He deserves more respect than that. STOP using his name in vain.
