Effective flood response requires systematic maintenance of drainage infrastructure, including clearing blocked storm drains, using appropriate tools like rakes, squeegees, and pumps, and strategically placing pumps with generators to remove water from flooded areas. The process involves identifying water accumulation points, clearing debris from drains, and ensuring water flows toward designated outflow points to prevent flooding.

Ep 1 | DrainSim – 🌊 Saving Our Street From Total Flood DisasterAdded:
[music] >> Our town continues to be cut off from the outside world due to a catastrophic landslide that has blocked all access roads. This extended isolation has prevented emergency vehicles from reaching our town. To provide assistance to our fellow residents in need, local authorities have issued a public call for volunteers.
Hey yo. Hello and a very warm welcome to a new game on the series. It's time to play Drain Sim. That's right. Uh we went from having our toilet blocked to sorting out this.
Right, cool. Brand new game on the channel. A physics-based water game. I cannot wait.
That is right up my street. Let's complete the tutorial first. Open the map. So there we can see the map. White circles highlight the approximate locations of the storm drains. So we can see there's a few storm drains on there and there's a a white mark there which looks like a broken pipe as well. Right, let's go pick up the rake and carry this on. I have seen a few people play this game. Bits of the game anyway.
Glo Master did a great series on it.
Search for the storm drain in this area.
I bet it's where this big highlight is and I bet that highlight's not going to last during the rest of the game. But there's our storm drain. So now we're going to press our rake down and try and clear out all this gunk. Get it going so that the water can keep flowing. Right, that's not working there anymore as well. So let's give it a little shift.
And let's clear that up and there we go.
We've cleared the storm drain and now the water is draining out of there. And find the next storm drain. There's one over here.
Okay, let's clear this one out then. Oh, I hope Pennywise isn't down there, man.
That'd be a surprise start to the game.
Hello, Grimmy.
>> [laughter] >> Hope you're all having a great day, a great week, a great month, and thank you for joining me on this new adventure. Uh Have we not cleaned it?
No, there's a little bit of gunk still there. That's fine. And they will get filled back up. You can also uh see them highlighted. We won't get them highlighted all the way um by the leaves that are bouncing up and down. That's a good indicator for us. Obviously, we do have the map. Oh, this is a nice big drain. This is going to drain out a lot right here. Here we go. Let's keep scooping it up, baby.
Scooping it up. What a management, man.
The idea of a drains and stuff like that, such a simple idea for a game. Uh you can see this is already built up a little bit, which is just going to slow it down a bit. So, let's just clear it up. And there we go. Open the map again.
Okay, in the red regions on the map define where the water needs to be removed. So, we can see the majority of it on the street, but we can even see the map updating at the top of the street cuz it's all draining down here, which is great. We've got We've got a little bit more on there. Let's give that a clean again. There we go. Make sure that's clean. Make sure we can get this car out. It's clearly stranded. Uh right, it's saying go to the backyard.
Let's head to the backyard. Thankfully, that's not broken. Uh let's head to the backyard and sort this out. Right, okay.
So, ah we got a big puddle. Clearly been doing some work in the garden.
We didn't want a pond. We didn't expect a pond. We're going to have to get rid of it. Let's turn on the power first of all.
And oh dear, there's a broken pipe in here as well.
Um yes, I have turned the music off. I have kept it always day just for you YouTube, man, cuz if not it it'll just get a bit dark for you guys. And here we go. Ah, we're getting wet. This is probably an outflow pipe as well. Uh press and hold E and then click and then twist.
There we go. And we've stopped it.
Excellent. Right, loads of water in here. We'll need to sort that out in a bit, but now it's telling me to pick up the site la- ma- site lamp.
Site light, even. An LED one, okay. It wants me to put it over here. So, let's uh put it here. And when we place it, it faces towards us. There we go. We can turn it on, get a bit more light on the place, which would be great if it was dark. Uh pick up the shovel. Look at the shovel to interact. Pick it up.
Oh, pick it up. Pick it up. Dig a path through the dirt and clear out the water to make it flow into the neighbor's backyard. Okay, clearly we are um we are not the best neighbor in the world, but let's uh let's send this water out, shall we? Let's make a little tunnel here to get the water into the neighbor's yard.
Oh, man, it's so satisfying. I love physics-based games, man. And uh when I saw this, I was like, "Yeah, this is right up Grim Street." Uh simple puzzles. Like it. Uh this is just a tutorial, but I thought I'd show you it all, man. Show you our starting progress and then how far we can get later on.
Here we go. And the water is flowing.
There we go. Got a lot out already. We can widen this up, but I'd assume. Uh we don't need to cuz it's not lower there.
Sweet. We only really need to widen it up if it's lower, don't we? If not, it's uh at full flow, which is cool. There we go. But we're still going to have some water left in here. Thankfully, we have a trusty bucket. Let's go. Uh scan the remaining water. Use the scan action to find the remaining water. There we go.
So, with a click of the tab, we can see that the backyard water is here and it's probably is filling up ever so slightly with the rain. It's a right click here to scoop up some water. So, let's get rid of that. There. Sweet. And another one.
Lovely stuff. Uh the backyard is complete. We can see in the top left.
So, even though there is a tiny bit of water, uh it's classing that as done.
You know what?
We didn't even pick anything up. So, that is absolutely done, right? The overall level overall the water level overall is still high. There's a pump here now. That was this here before? I didn't notice it. All right, place the pump in the water. Okay, so what's the low point in here?
Um, will our map show us?
It looks like it's over this way cuz it's saying it's deeper over here. So, let's I don't know. It looks pretty flat to me. I don't know how long the pipe's going to go. Okay, let's let's put it in the back corner and see. Uh, bring the hose outside. So, now we've got a hose for the pump. Okay, now will it reach all the way up here?
No.
No, it won't. No, it won't. I'll tell you what. I'll tell you what, let's pick it back up.
Pick it back up.
Put that down maybe and then pick it back up.
There we go. Okay, cool. Let's put it down here so we can get it into our little channel that we made, our spillway.
Oh, we don't really need it in there actually. Let's not fill that back up.
Let's get it over here, man. Oh, perfect. That's great. Let's get it there. Sweet. Okay, cool. And now we need to pick up a generator. We need something to fuel this pump up. Where's the generator? It's not in here apparently. It is up here. There we go.
Okay, pick that up. Sweet. And move here and place the generator. So, we'll place it in here on dry land. We can activate the generator.
There we go. Okay, cool. And it spawned out a plug for us. And now we've got to take the plug, plug it into one of its two inputs there. This game is in early access. So, there's going to be more updates to this and uh, mate, it just looks so fun. So, I was just like, let's do it. Tap to turn on hold to pick up.
We'll turn it on. There we go. It's glowing green, baby. And unclog the big drain again. As Have we got issues?
Let's have a look at this. There we go, man. Not even backfilling back into our yard, straight into the neighbor's yard.
I'm sorry, sir. I'm sorry.
>> [laughter] >> Right, let's uh, head this way and unclog the big drain again. Uh, if we use our mouse scroll, we can get our tools up.
So, let's uh, get our rake back and oh, look at this progress, man.
We're doing a great job.
Right, but it's not draining as quick as we'd like, so let's get rid of this gunk. Clearly, a lot of stuff filling through the drains, but that's what they're for, man. They're there to stop the main drain system getting overwhelmed, so we can see it going ever so slightly there. Let's degunk these, even though it doesn't look like there's a lot of water here. And if I press that, we can see actually yeah, that's not really effective. There's a tiny bit here, so we might as well, but we've got a lot of gunk build up right there.
Storm drains, let's go. It's now telling me to pick up a squeegee.
Okay, let's do it. Let's do it. Let's pick up the squeegee. There we go.
And with the squeegee, hold the secondary action to move the water to the drain. So, we can see a lot of the water is over this side here. If we get up our our map, and there's a load here, actually.
Maybe we'll maybe we'll try and get this down. Should we try and send it down that ramp? So, right click and hold.
And then push it, and there we go. We're getting a bit of a bit of build up there.
A bit of momentum.
Going here, lovely.
Okay, cool.
Now, all that's going to flow into that.
Maybe it's maybe it's better to just flow into this straight away, actually.
There we go. Okay, cool. Is the water level going down? I can't really tell.
Um yeah, so it's just a chilled out game, man. I just thought it's it's a perfect game for my channel, cuz we can just sort of chill and chat and just talk about whatever we want to talk about, as well as just relaxing and cleaning some drains up, man.
Which is what we enjoy to do on this channel. Right, there's still a little bit more.
Right, it's it's telling me another mission, actually.
It's telling me to Let's just do a little bit here. There we go.
Okay, cool. And I'll tell you what, let's also, before we do that, we'll clean up the street again. That's the cable.
There we go. Sweet. Let's do this.
Lovely stuff.
And there we go. Sweet. Let's go pick up the vacuum it's telling me to pick up.
Okay, it's out in the backyard.
Uh we can have a look down there at our at our basement and see how that's doing.
This is looking good.
This is still spewing out a bit of water. Okay, so yeah, it's not fully done. That's fine.
Uh let's go here. Oh, it is stuttering now. You can hear it stuttering. And there's a vacuum that's pouring. Yay.
Vacuum the remaining basement water. The vacuum works best in shallow areas.
Deeper water will fill it up fast. Okay.
Uh so, let's not use that then. Let's use the squeegee to get a bit to the pump. I'm assuming this will work. All right, left click just does that whereas the right click does the hold.
And it's done.
And we finished. Great.
Great job. 1,300.
Fantastic. We got some money. We can buy some upgrades. Let's head to the garage and select a new mission. Excellent.
Open.
>> oddities, [clears throat] a major suburban street has somehow been completely drained. Oh, no.
>> No city crew >> Oh, yeah. That was us.
just gone.
Locals report seeing some guy wandering around with a plunger on his belt.
Mysterious. It wasn't some guy. It was some Grim.
>> One garden in the area was discreetly drained into the neighbor's yard through a gap in a fence that, according to several chatty residents, was supposed to be fixed months ago.
options spite an elaborate passive-aggressive art piece That was us. An elaborate passive-aggressive art piece. Right, here we go. We can head into our board now, so let's have a look. Uh so, this is the mission that we've just done, I I assume.
Or is it not?
Oh, okay. What's going on here?
So, yeah, that's got the tick on it. So, here we go. Midtown Market, 10:00 a.m.
The canal into pipe water into a canal to pipe water into a flooded cafe. Okay.
Cool. We'll go there and we've got to select some things for the mission.
Great, but we also have Have we got any generators? Let's get some generators in there. That'll help us out. Lights will probably help us out. That will help us out. We've got a weight limit, so we can only take so much. Um but we can take everything we own right now, but I guess it's time to look what we can buy in the shop, right? So, uh 1,300 I guess a a better pump would be good.
We've got the inflatable barriers.
Um let's go with buying Oh, we can also buy vehicles as well, so we can get more carrying capacity. Fantastic.
There's a lot to this game, man.
Generator Mark II, upgraded generator used to power pumps and lights with four outlets.
Fantastic. Okay.
Well, we've got 1,300, so I'm thinking we go straight up to Mark III. We get a better pump cuz I think that's going to be useful. Uh and we've already got one generator here and uh where's pump Mark III? There we go. Make sure that it's in there. Sweet. It weighs a lot more, but that's okay. We'll see how more efficient it is. Compare it to the Mark I.
Let's start the mission and see how it goes. The Midtown Market, use a nearby river to get rid of water quickly. Uh the loading can take a little bit of time, so um Oh, it did on the tutorial. Uh so, hey, man. It gives us a bit of time to chat.
Um hope you're all doing well. I am So, Hull I come from Hull in the UK, um a place on the coast. And in 2007, we had a lot of rainwater, man. A lot of rainwater that came down over a couple of days, and I was actually working at the city hall at the time um as a technician. And we got a call to say that there was going to be um that there was going to be an emergency evacuation center.
So, um canceled was the show that we were setting up for and suddenly we were setting up beds in the main hall, making sure that everyone had somewhere to stay. And um yeah, man, that's part of my experience with floods. I'm sure I'll tell you more about that as we explore this level.
We've got this here, okay. Cool.
Still raining, okay. Let's um Can we turn this on?
No, we can't. No, we can scratch it though. We can scratch it. Can we scratch the post? Yay, we can scratch it. Excellent. Um I guess what level overall, back alley. I guess we want to get rid of this, don't we? And it looks like we can get it out here, but we can't dig out here cuz it's all rock. I assume not anyway.
Let's go get our shovel just to check.
Uh we want our rake. Where's our rake?
We will need a rake.
Please tell me I've not forgot the rake.
I've forgot the rake. Oh, no, I've got the rake. I've just haven't got the thingy. Okay, that's fine.
There we go. So, a squeegee, is this going to work? Let's Let's give it go.
It's a bit deep, I think. You see we're getting a bit movement.
I mean, we tip it over the level. We tip it over the level, but not necessarily the most efficient way of doing it.
Let's uh grab a pump uh so we can pick up this one.
And we'll pick up this one. Sweet, there we go. We got our two pumps and let's pump them in. Let's uh Where's the deepest point in here? Let's have a look at the map.
Okay, right. So, here should do us. Sweet, and we'll stick this down to here.
Nice, you can flow it right in. We don't need to mess about with I don't want stuff to back up and go into the other uh pond. Pond. Created pond, I guess. Uh here we go. Let's put the next one down and get this in. We only have one generator, so we might as well use both pumps anyway. And that gets to about there, that's sweet. And then let's grab the generator, plug them in, and see what we can do. Pick it up. I don't know how many cables we have actually.
Maybe we don't have enough cables. That looks dry there for now.
So, let's go here, pick this up.
And then plug this in here.
So, yeah, in them floods, man. I mean, it was it was a an incredible time where it was like, "Geez Louise, we we we didn't know what what to do." And that first night, man, there was seven of us there.
And we had to set up the whole venue.
And then it it was mad because floods really affect people, man. It's it's such a devastating um thing. We had like people coming in from a lot of care homes who'd like lost photos and stuff like that. It was awful to see, you know. Right, let's um turn this off and let's see if we can see the difference.
Okay, I mean, it's trickling out.
Turn that on.
We can't really see the difference, can we, cuz it's all going into one spot, I guess. It does look like it's getting a lot more out.
And there we go. It's draining off and sending it off down the road. Sweet.
Need to fix this path, dude, to do that.
But right now it's quite useful. Bloody Nora.
Well, that went quick, didn't it?
What does that indicate? Does that indicate if it's working or not? Have I got my Hoover to finish it off?
Um let's go. Here we go. Pick up a Hoover.
There we go. And we'll pick up a wrench just in case we need it and a bucket. I mean, we might as well fill our inventory, aren't we?
Uh I say that, we're going to have to um we're going to have to carry these pumps and stuff, so maybe we don't want to fill our inventory, actually.
Sweet. How do we drop stuff?
Oh, good question.
Okay, don't matter.
Uh we'll figure that out. There we go.
Our back alley is complete. Perfect.
Got a little bit left here. so let's just Hoover that up.
There we go. I Hoover that up a bit there, and the back alley is complete.
Nicely done, and then right click I assume to fill it out. Yeah, there we go, man.
Sweet. Perfect.
Easy. Easy peasy. Let's pick that up as well. Sweet.
And let's move into the next area. So, let's have a look at our map, and we can see down this back alley here.
I don't think there's anything here, is there?
Oh, there's a bit around here. Let's go up from this way.
Let's go from this way. Here we go.
Sweet. I've left the generator, but I haven't got any room in my inventory. In fact, let's figure this out now quickly while we're here. What do I not need right now? We don't necessarily need the squeegee right now. That's more of a finishing tool, isn't it? So, let's see if we click this if it takes it back.
We've left it turned on. There we go.
Yeah, it drops the squeegee on the floor, but that's fine. We can pick it up later if we need it. Um so, yeah, man, these floods were absolutely devastating, and there was there was a dude actually in in Hessle, and he had his community was like flooding, and he was his house was flooding, and he um Oh my.
Oh my. Let's check on map again. Okay, we've got some drains to clear out, so I guess that's the starting point, isn't it? So, let's get them cleaned out first.
There we go. And here we go. Yeah. So, we don't have massive blue indicators now, but we can sort out these drains.
Little drains. And he went out to clear a drain like this, and he got caught in it, and he ended up like passing away because of it, which is devastating, and it it really can be such a devastating um devastating effect on on both the community.
When Yeah, when I was working, man, we had people in care homes. We had this funny story, actually. There was two of the lads >> [laughter] >> cuz he was he was doing kind of anything he could to help really to these people.
I mean, you wanted to get them inside and give them a cup of tea, do what I mean? Uh here we go. We've got another one here.
Um cuz that's sometimes what people need when it's sort of devastating like that.
But they um yeah, they were really funny a lot of the people. Like in in as best spirits of the canon and appreciative of like, you know, being in a position where we can we can keep them warm. But yeah, it was sad, man. Sad to see people cuz they lost like photos of their loved ones and stuff like that. And to see old people that have lost photos of like memories from years and years. It's just awful, man. Absolutely awful.
And I remember there was um there was a dude. And this was 2007, so different times. It probably be a different case now. There was a dude who um who had really bad legs. In fact, I think he was missing a leg. And then he the he arrived on a bus. And uh two of me two of the people I worked with went to go help him out. And they said, "Oh, if you can lift him in, that'd be great." Cuz he in that situation, you do what you can.
And um And they said, "Yeah, okay. We we can we can lift him in."
And uh so the the girl either side of him and they started lifting him. He was a very very quiet bloke. Very quiet bloke. And uh they'd gone and and started lifting him.
And he >> [laughter] >> he won't move. And they said, "It's He said, "Excuse me. Excuse me." And he says uh They says, "Yeah, is everything all right? You know, you okay?" And he says uh He says, "No, no.
Me seat belt still on."
>> [laughter] >> And started laughing.
So even in uh even in darker times, you can have uh you can have good spirits about stuff, man. You can have good spirits about stuff. But it was an emergency evacuation center for that entire week. I'm just clearing out the basic gunk now. Okay. I think that's good. And I think we've probably got them all. Let's have a look at the map.
Looks about right. I mean, it looks pretty bad down here, unfortunately. But we'll figure that out. This is probably the first thing we want to do on the levels. Get these drains cleared so that we can slowly start making progression on other things as we go. And There we go. Let's get this one done. Nice.
Yeah, okay, cool. Everything seems good.
Although, this seems quite deep, but we'll figure that out in a second. I didn't notice on the map there's this area here and there's that area there.
Let's have a look at here. It said the cafe was knackered. So, let's have a look. Um this is the cafe, big cheese melts.
Okay, no. Um it's not the cafe apparently.
Doesn't matter. We'll go fix another area. That's fine.
I I I feel like that's the place. I think I saw someone play it, but it's such a long time ago as well.
Here we go. Let's head into this area.
So, there's water here. Uh this this Is this class as a center?
Okay. Well, there's probably too much water to hoover up. Have I got a drain near here?
There's a drain right there. Okay. Um so, let's pump this water out, I guess.
I think that's the best thing to do.
Uh okay, so it tells us the different areas. That's fine. The back alley is the only one that's done right now.
Let's uh get our pumps out.
This actually is not going to take very long. It's not like a huge one, is it?
So, Oh, I'm struggling with where I am on there. Okay, cool. So, let's go to here.
And let's pump this into here.
Oh, you can see the water draining through. These drains are working great.
Sweet. And then we'll get the generator up.
Lovely stuff. And plug it in.
Bosch.
And Bosch. And turn it on, baby.
I can't turn it on cuz I didn't turn the generator on. And I'm probably going to make that mistake a hundred times. So, um let that be your drinking game for the this Grim Sim Labs. There we go, baby.
It's flooding out and it's going to straight into this drain. So, let's make sure this drain is nice and clear.
With that, there we go.
With a rake. But, there we go. Uh it's not backing onto the path at least, not so that's good. And we can see this area slowly starting to get sorted, which is great.
Fabulous. Uh I tell you what, will our will our pump work here? I have no idea.
Let's get it set up though. Let's get this one into here cuz obviously this is a lot uh a lot deeper. I'm going to put it in this corner, and but instead of pumping into the street, we're going to try and pump it straight into the drain. Cuz if you look, there's like a See that where it like folds in? It like goes straight into the drain. So, it's probably a good way to do it. Lightning.
I hear thunder and I hear rain. Uh what are we doing? We need to get a cable to it. So, will our cable reach here? Let's find out.
Oh, it's Hey, yeah, it does, man. The cables can go a long way. So, that's great to know. Sweet, and we'll turn you on. Haha. And then I was like I didn't forgot the generator, but I didn't. I just There we go. It's draining off the top of the path now, so uh I assume that's going to be going down.
I tell you what, importantly, let's just do this.
Sweet, there we go.
We'll start emptying that out. Lovely.
Perfect. Right, I think we need to go and do a quick drain search uh cuz obviously there's some gunk build up and we want this to keep flowing as much as we can, do the work for us so we don't have as much tidying up to do if possible.
Sweet. Okay, that one's done.
Lovely. And you can see how much clearer this already looks, hey? How much clearer this already looks.
Sweet, that's that there.
That's that there. Nice.
This one has a little bit, but it's not much. It's just a trickle.
This one has I don't know why it's flashing so much. I have no idea.
There we go. It is in early access at the They are still putting out new levels, which I'll happily play when they come out and that we can revisit it. There's also time challenges in the game if we wanted to. Um I don't think we're doing a bad job right now, to be honest, and I don't know. I'm I'm not a huge fan of time challenges. I mean, they're fine.
I'm just I'm enjoying the chill right now. I'm enjoying the chill.
Chilling out with these Chilling out with these drains. Clearing out these drains. Okay, this water is pouring in off the street here.
That's a sidewalk. Okay, cool. Right. Um And that's looking good.
It's getting there, isn't it, man?
It's getting there. It's going straight in. It's not causing us any problems here. So, that's pretty sorted. Sweet.
Uh next up then is this area done? This is classed as part of the center area. So, it looks pretty done to me there. So, what we're going to do is we're going to stick this one into here.
Okay. And we'll get it going straight into this drain.
Just carefully place that in. Lovely stuff. Right. And then have we got another cable? We Of course we have another cable. We've We've already done this. Sweet. Here we go.
Oh, did I just turn you off?
Yes, I did. Sorry. There you go. Keep it on. Why not?
The center's not done yet. So, let's let's do get it all done.
And we need to go into that one. Lovely.
Here we go.
And let's plug this. And I'm pretty sure as soon as this starts, that center area is going to Oh, actually, the center's different to here. This is classed as a sitting area, and we can see that going down already cuz of the super pump.
Super pump. Super pump.
Does whatever super pump does. Oh, there we go, man. The map The map is looking so much better, right? Looking so much better.
I guess we could do with some vacuuming actually. Maybe we could start vacuuming up this area. Oh, there's a lot of build up there actually already.
Let's just clear that cuz this was the area that was a little bit less done on the map.
There's only tiny bit there. Right, let's not worry about that then. There's not too much. Let's get our Hoover out and just tap it. Yeah, you can see there's quite a lot here. Maybe a squeegee would be better though, actually.
And that looks like a bit of a mess. Um, okay, cool.
Right, oh, I think the center might be done. Or maybe one of the sitting areas is done, actually.
I'm going to get the uh squeegee up.
I'll go here. How's this area looking?
It's still all complete, so that's good.
There we go. Sweet.
And this center is classed as done here.
Okay, great.
And how are the sitting areas looking?
Getting there. Getting there. Okay, how's this one looking?
Getting there again. Okay, uh the right side needs a little bit more work, so let's do that.
All right, so it's center and right.
Let's just squeegee this into there.
Lovely.
Uh, there's no drain this way, so let's not push it that way.
That seems a bit silly. There we go.
Uh and squeegee that in.
There we go.
Squeegee this in.
Like I say, I think you know, the Hoover's great and everything, but I kind of want to squeegee what we can in. Something else is completed. Great.
The thing is, if we could use the things around us, like the drains, then we should do better, right? I think. I don't really know. Here we go. Let's do that. Let's do this. And the right's gone down a lot, so the squeegeeing has been working. Uh, maybe it's time to use the Hoover. Let's give the Hoover a go and see if this can finish us off.
It's not moving very quick, is it? Okay, let's go down here. You can see it's it's only a little path that we're making through here.
Which makes sense.
There we go. The right looks like it's happening. Is that done?
The left's done. That's really cool.
No, it's not. Right, we're full of water. Let's go dump it somewhere. So, this sitting area is done. So, I guess we could pump it into here.
There we go. Sitting area is probably not going to be done now, but at least that's going to There we go. Yeah, it's in Uh-oh, you filled it up with water, but that's okay cuz we've got the super pump there.
Sweet, and the right is done. Let's just uh do a quick go around. There we go. Just make sure it stays done really. Sweet, center's done. Let's go have a look over here.
And this sitting area is not done. This sitting area is struggling a little bit more. So, let's give it a helping hand, and I think we'll start off with a squeegee uh cuz because that's in the corner, we can probably just get a load of this into it, and hopefully it'll go in there. There we go, see?
You can see the pump like working more when it's uh when it's clicking. Okay.
And this is our mark two pump as well, so this should be fine.
Yeah, you can see it's working intermittently, but that's okay. We'll get it working better.
There we go. Just fill it with water as best we can.
And there we go, that's the sitting area done.
We don't need to overuse the vacuum. We don't need to rely on the vacuum, you know?
Which When I've seen people play the game, I feel like they do a little bit.
So, I was like, you know what? I think we can manipulate the water a little bit different with the squeegee.
Okay. Cool. So, we've got the sitting area one, which is this one. Okay, that's fine.
Uh that's partly cuz we threw a load of water in there. Maybe we would have been better going to the drain to sort it out, but you know what? It's fine.
Let's just get that working there.
Push all this water in.
Lovely stuff, and that's complete there.
Sweet.
Uh right, I'll tell you what, cuz we haven't done uh that much, we'll do a quick over here, fill this up, and then we'll go empty it out.
The water level overall has gone right down, man.
Hoover up some water. Please don't hoover up water in real life.
Um, it's specialized tools that can do it.
I have used a a water pump before.
Uh, here we go. Bosch.
There we go. Sweet. Okay, we'll turn off the Oh, we're getting stuck in the path.
That's fine. Right, the cafe. Let's go see the cafe. Cuz right now, the door's not open, and I don't know why. Um, how do we get into the cafe?
How do we get into the cafe?
Is that the cafe?
Let's have a look at the map.
Maybe the cafe's over there. There's a big thing over there that needs emptying.
It used to be over there in early access, but maybe they've changed the location. I have no idea. I have no idea.
Uh, let's see. Okay.
Oh, there we go. It's on this corner over here. Okay, just the wrong corner.
That's fine.
That is fine. Let's go and Yeah, you can see the big dark area. Right, okay. Our cafe, we've got to sort out this local business.
Caution, wet floor. You can bloody say that again. Okay, uh, first job, I guess, uh, locate the drain around here.
Right, it's right over here. Okay.
Um, maybe we should have done this first, but that's okay. We'll figure it out, don't worry. I'll just make sure these are clear, cuz we're probably going to be sending some water down this way.
Sweet. Okay. What I'm going to do is I'm going to put a pump directly around here.
Just make sure it's in a low section.
I'm going to see if we can reach the drain, cuz I think it'd be cleaner if we can.
Ah, we can't. Okay, but you know what?
That's near enough, isn't it? That's near enough.
I In real life, if you just straighten out that kink there, it'd be fine.
But never be afraid of your kinks, guys.
You don't never need to straighten them out. Okay, cool. So, now we need the generator. We've not picked up the generator. Let's go pick up the generator, sort this out.
Sweet. Everything's there complete, so the wind's not affecting it that much.
Where's the generator? It's over here.
Sweet.
I hope you guys are looking forward to this. You know what? Jesus, it's just a chilled out game, man. It's just a really chilled out game with a puzzle element.
And I mate, I am all for that.
There was a There's an old game called From Dust that I've I mean, I'm even thinking about bringing it to the channel at some point, which is all about manipulating water with like sand and stuff like that. You You build islands. It was a little bit buggy though from what I remember, so who the hell knows if it was ever fixed. Um but that that was a game I always enjoyed.
Let's stick that in there and turn you on first of all. After we turn you on, there we go. And let's just investigate this area. Oh, actually, let's see how we're piping. Whoa, flooded. You see, this is going to make the right area be You see, that's starting to fill up again, but that's okay.
As long as it doesn't go back here.
I don't really want it to flow into there.
Okay, it's fine. We just need to get the water out here, so let's focus on that right now.
Sweet, there we go. Pump that out. Nice.
And I bet this is nearly done cuz this map three pump is like a beast. It's a beast. Uh okay, cool. So, behind here, we have an issue.
Uh let's have a look at our map.
Doesn't look like there's any pipes broken.
This is all one area, but uh behind the counter is some water that can't escape right now. So, a perfect opportunity to use our next pump here. And uh we don't need to pump this right the way out, actually. We can pump this straight into here and let this do the work. That's fine. And because we've used the lesser pipe, it should fill it up quite quickly. It shouldn't overwhelm it. This is the Mark 1, the gray one. And the yellow one is the Mark 2. There we go.
And you can see it's handling it perfectly well and it is now clearing out this area. Our cafe on the left-hand side is dropping at incredible rate.
So, that's fine by me, man.
That is fine by me.
Sweet. Uh let's go have a look here cuz we've absolutely demolished this area again. Okay. And we've caused ourselves problems here as well.
Actually, we haven't caused ourselves problems. We should probably use a barrier here, but I think we're okay. I don't think it's going to cause us that many issues. There we go. Just push that over there.
Get over there. Get over here.
Um okay, cool. So, now let's get the rake out.
Uh There we go. Okay, cool. Make sure that's clear. You're not clear, so let's make sure you're clear cuz you're our important ones at the minute.
Sweet. Okay, let's have a look at the cafe. See how that's doing.
How are you doing, buddy?
Right, intermittent. Okay, that's fine.
Still saying there's quite a lot of water in here, actually. Um I'll tell you what, let's uh Oh, hello. That was weird. Uh let's pick you up and where's the cafe water? Let's uh tap it.
Okay, there is still a bit back there.
Yeah, there's a lot of water in this.
Like, you don't realize how much there is still.
Um that feels like it's all level, doesn't it? So, it shouldn't matter.
Tell you what, let's just uh let's put this here, so we've got another pump working in the main area. And this one's not going to reach as far. That's the problem.
And go down here maybe. That might help us.
Sweet. And let's get this one going.
There we go. Oh, we can't get it going cuz we haven't got a plug-in.
Plug that up there. Sweet.
It's already spluttering a little bit.
Now, let's tidy up this area. Let's make sure that's done. And I'm going to do this. This is the perfect area for a vacuum, isn't it?
Oh, I'm in a bucket.
I don't see why we use the bucket if we had the vacuum. I suppose the bucket can pick up a lot though, probably.
And see you just There we go. If we just go across it a few times, I'll just get the grid map up.
Vacuum full. Dump water. Okay, we'll go do that.
Nice. And do I want to dump it here? No.
I dump it here? No, not really. I want to go to the canal. I think that's probably going to be the best. It's over this way.
Sweet.
And I don't even think we need to run to that section over there. I think we can just get it from over here, can't we?
There we go.
Right click. Dump it in. I hope I don't fall in.
There we go. Throw the water in there.
Excellent. And half of it goes onto the street.
Hopefully that won't cause us a problem.
That's a bit annoying. Next time we put it in there. Okay. We'll see if it causes a problem. Let's start out the cafe first cuz once that's complete, nothing else is going to get rained on.
And then we can finish off these areas out here. Which is causing us a problem.
Partly because this is blocked.
There we go. How's that looking?
Sitting area is still classed as good.
Center area is still classed as good.
Okay.
Let's get a squeegee out and do a little push so it don't become a problem.
Sweet. Actually, there is a There is the drain there. So, I mean it's it shouldn't cause too much problem.
That drain was clear.
Nice, man. Squeegees is so satisfying to use in real life, aren't they?
When I went to Italy in Lake Garda, there was um the apartment we stayed in had a squeegee in the shower.
And uh it changed my life, man. Changed my life. Never again do I not use a squeegee in the shower. Hey, um so the the reason for squeegee in the shower, this is all stops, but it's not complete. So, let's just There we go. There you go. Get a bit of water out there. Sweet. And there's a little bit going here. If we just disturb the water a little bit, it should go in here. And that absolutely saves us having to uh go run around dumping the water from the vacuum and stuff as well. So, that's pretty good if we can get it all.
There we go.
Maybe this is a little bit lower this side. There we go.
And the cafe is not done yet.
But it is now. Sweet. And now we're just going to do a quick vacuum, actually, just to make sure that it stays complete.
Cuz it is still a bit wet. There we go.
That That's a little bit glitchy, isn't it? But that's okay. Yeah, like I say, it is in early development and uh I'm sure they'll fix most of these issues out. Sweet. Let's uh get this going here.
There we go. Okay, cool. I'm happy with that. They can finish off the rest for me. Uh we're going to pick this up.
And uh I guess we just Is that the only place that we got left to do? Yes, it's just the right area.
So, in fact, we can I I don't even know if we need to pick them up, actually.
I think we just need to focus on getting this all down the drain. So, first of all, clear the drain.
Clear this drain.
Lovely stuff. Squeegee out.
There we go.
Sweet. We just need this to all go down.
There we go. Just make sure it's uh heading in the right direction.
So, the uh the actual icon in the top left is currently by the eye. Let's see if we can uh get it down a little bit. Right, there's a bit more here.
Uh I think I added this to the right, actually. I think I added a lot of water there.
There we go. Let the drains do the work, baby.
Okay. There we go. Scroll you in, lovely.
I mean, we got this last time, so it should just filter out eventually. There we go. We've got a little bit of build-up. Let's clear that out. Bosch.
And Bosch. I don't really know which area counts as right, but we're definitely going down, man. Uh yeah, that area counts as right as well.
So, it looks like this is a little bit lower. So, I'll tell you what, let's try the vacuum.
Is that having an impact?
Right, it's not going to have any impact anymore, cuz we are full of water. So, let's go dump this. And then maybe another load might sort us out.
Maybe another load will sort us out.
So, you'll have to let me know any experiences you had with floods. One of the things with the floods in the um in Hull was that like there was some of the me work colleagues, like we all started the day uh with the army dropping off beds and stuff like that, ready to ready to crack on, ready to work together to get it done.
And um unfortunately, like some of them had to leave because they found out their had their houses were flooding.
Um I Where was I living? I I didn't My My parents I was living at my parents at the time, and they didn't flood, so it was fine. So, I was okay to work. That day I worked a 30-hour shift.
A 30-hour shift. Um you know.
How do you work a 30-hour shift? You You just bloody muck in, man.
You just muck in.
You know, in them situations, you you're there to help people, aren't you? Do you know what I mean?
There was a parrot a lady brought a parrot in. It was very cool. Like I said, there's there's some sad memories there.
There's also a lot of bloody good memories. And uh one of the one of the best memories is coming together with your colleagues, all working hard to cheer people up, make sure they've got a cup of tea, mate.
You know, that's one of the things you need when you're uh when you're struggling as much as that, just a bloody cup of tea. Just sit back cuz it's so stressful, isn't it? You know, so stressful.
Got to make sure the kettle's on.
You know.
That area is all classed as right as well, so maybe that's part of the reason we're struggling.
>> [clears throat] >> Let's go here.
And yeah, it's still just the right area, so that's not a problem. We're nearly there.
There you go. Dump that out. And we've done it. It did it while we were away.
We got 1,100 quid. Hey, it's less than we got for the clean up the garage, but we are slowly building up more tools.
Fantastic. Um we did it. Yay. Um I'm going to leave this episode here. Um we're probably going to do this more level-based. their heads today after waking up to find the entire Midtown market area, previously one big urban swimming pool, completely drained.
Still no official explanation, but uh guess who was spotted again.
Yep, that same mystery figure, plunger on the belt, attitude unknown.
>> [laughter] >> And the beloved Corner Cafe, also dry.
Locals are thrilled, though the owner reportedly wants to thank whoever did it with at least three free croissants and a hug. Get it in.
So, who is this guy?
A rogue plumber? A wet-footed vigilante?
Or someone who really missed espresso?
>> [laughter] >> That is we are the super drainer and we will continue this super draining episode as as we carry on as we carry on clearing the drains of all the gunk. I really enjoyed that. If you've enjoyed it this is the first episode do us a solid leave a like it really helps me out it lets me know especially on the first episode how it's going if you guys want to see more etc etc. And man I'm I'm very blessed if you could do us a solid and subscribe it really helped me out. I'm really a little YouTuber man I've got 2,500 subscribers hit this week I'm really proud of that.
We are growing slowly and we're nearly at 2,600 now. So and these my friends here these are all the members of the channel and guess what you get early access to the videos I'll be releasing these everyday for the next week probably and then it will probably sort into one every two days.
