I always run tyre pump connection on our air tanks so we can pump up tyres
You're a good man to tackle the sink clog. My aunt's old house had a similar set-up, the kitchen and bath emptied out into a pasture. Good place to find worms for fishing. Good video, thanks.
All in all, use this as the model for a good day!! Outstanding to stand tall and help out the lady on a fixed income. The world could use a few thousand more guys like you...
Plumb in an Admittance Valve under her sink and that’ll get it to drain right 👍
I recently had a clogged main sewer line. When the clothes' washer ran, it backed up into the bathroom and flooded. Had to do an insurance claim to repair the bathroom, and carpet in most of the rest of the house. The clincher was the rotorooter guy. 15 minutes with a jet snake with an incorporated camera. The clog was a few feet our side of the city pipe. Cost us $1,800 for 15 minutes.
I have now made sure that the plug will come off the stand pipe before the head rises high enough to overflow the tub or toilet. have now made sure that the plug will come off the stand pipe before the head rises high enough to overflow the tub or toilet.
Oo
You the man.....helpin your friends momma!
Aw hell ole son... You are a plumber....lol I do water wells ...pools and irrigation.... Hang schedule 80 for water features in high rise buildings in Houston... I can say we are mechanics..plumbers ... And we are some problem solving... summa-bucks
Yeah us old timers usually figure it out, and fix it somehow 😂😊lol.
Now days those "illegal" drains we call "separate gray water discharge system." Both my father and mother grew up in houses like that. Probably because my grandfathers both built their homes themselves and later added electricity and plumbing and they followed the normal practice at the time for their rural areas.
Every summer when we'd drive 500+ miles up into Canada to visit grandmother (that grandfather died in 1977 at 77) we did chores around the place. One of those was to dig out for better drainage the discharge from the kitchen and laundry (south side of the house) and the discharge from the septic tank (east side of the house, no leach field). Fun (not). The other grandparents' home discharged closer to house - no cattle around there - into a "cesspool" with a metal dome over it. Around that area the grass and a couple of willow trees grew really nice.
That creamy colour its grease, but they probably have other problems as well
Yahoo I'm back , what a wonderful show you have. Alberta,Canada
AAA Well Drilling from Lexington SC drilled my well on Tuesday of this week to a depth of 180 feet. The pump is sitting at 80 feet and we're getting 15 gallons per minute. They started drilling at 12:30pm and were pulling out of my yard at 6pm. Now I get to start the cleanup process......
Many thanks to you for your videos to help me understand what to expect and what was happening as they were dilling, grouting and setting the pump.
Enjoyed your video! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Man I thought your old service truck was perfect the 5th gen ram makes it even better. A studor vent and San tee would totally fix the vent on that sink and would eliminate the S trap as well for future knowledge!
Make sure to change your air dryer/desiccant cartridge under the hood. If theres that much water in the tanks your getting bypass upstream. Our VA humidity does a number on them. I'm yearly on our Bendix AD-IP style.
I love comments like yours! It's helpful & points me in a right direction dealing with a situation I know nothing about. Thanks for that! Happy your here!
Awesome
Great job 👏 I wish you guy's were near me for help with my well problems. 😊
Love your videos!
convert that to a p trap with a ghetto vent
The ratio of case to total drill depth just seems funny to me 😂 sure looked like a muddy mess in the beginning.
Yea, it's not our typical way we like to do it, but with 30gpm coming up out the well, the friction of the water shooting up the casing can lift the casing and that ruins the seal at the bottom of the casing. So rather than risk it ripping out, the customer got a great well that 50% cheaper than the estimate he was given! So it turned out great for him.
looks like powdered dish washing soap. It will stop a drain line esp at a 90 degree joint.
In my area in romania it's not about hitting water. There is so much underground water. It's all about hitting the right aquifer. For instance i have a 350ft well and i have 3 german degrees of water hardness and a friend of mine, half a mile away, same depth but 60ft higher in elevation has 25 german degrees hardness.
I was kind of curious. It just how deep you had to bore that well I realize your casing. You said you stopped at 127 but did you guys drill much deeper than 127 this stuff is always very interesting to me and I show enjoy your videos as they seem to be more clearly plainfully explained and there's a part of me. I wish I could have done this as a career
I think he said the well went to 165 feet
How big are well pumps when farmers irregat there fields
I've noticed that very often your published videos display the video in reverse. Why is that?
You ever find quartz or gold from drilling?
These are the jobs that pay for the bad ones. Sometimes you get lucky.
How deep would you put a pump down a well that is 75 ft deep with a static water lever at 40ft? And what pump would you use? Well was rated at 25 gpm if that helps
65ft is a good spot to start, any 10-15 gom pump would be fine, personally I'd recommend the Grundfos SQ-250 or SQ200
@h2omechanic Just curious - I've watched nearly all your drilling videos and you seem to always use PVC for the casing (other than the 7ft metal section). Why do you not use steel pipe for casing? Cost savings? Prevent rusting out? Other reasons?
Add a cheater vent under the sink?
All those rocks, my wife would love to put those in her tumbler to make them all nice and smooth and polished.
We find some good ones out here in the middle of the desert.
👍
How long should you run water after a new well is installed to flush it?
Have you ever drilled a well and came up with an artesian well
Yes 1 or 2 videos on my channel showing them.
Would an AAV under the kitchen sink help?
Where are y’all located
Love your videos, I am learning alot - mostly about how much I don't know. Moving to a new manufactured home on some land next year with a well. New territory for this city boy. I see that you often have to access the pressure tank and switch under a trailer or in a crawl space. Would it be optimal to have a 10x10 shed to house these components, and maybe any water treatment systems as well? I really don't like the idea of having to crawl under the house some winter morning when the water stops flowing.
Answer depends a lot on the climate you are in and what you have for winter (Canadian here) nothing wrong with a well house in principle.
Western New York state, Finger Lakes region. I'm thinking about an insulated shed with power close to the well head, to house the pressure tank and water treatment system which is definitely needed. (Hard water, smelly water, still need testing to know full scope) As long as it doesn't violate any stupid NY codes, my only worry is I will have to have some sort of emergency power in case power goes down with temps well below the freezing point.🥶
Essentially you would be building a teeny tiny house that you would have to heat all winter. On the other hand, if there is some sort of utility room, Hot water tank and such, that is where it generally goes. I personally would vote for inside as I am changing filters etc at least monthly. @@jtancsi11
I have a question regarding my water pressure. I lose pressure pretty quick, when running water. Once pressure switch kicks pump on and gets back up to 50 psi it’s all good but it doesn’t last long when used. Could it be I need a bigger pressure tank ?
hi man . i like your work❤.
and nice rig . how mach you can drill ? can you drill 1320 ft with this rig !
havve fan bro.😊
Yes, that's basically our limit. We drilled one 1,280ft at my old home when the rig was brand new (for geothermal) and another one to 1,140. No need for us to ever drill past 900ft realistically, we'd stop & frack it at that point bc the drill bits throw away by then.
PVC casing is not allowed in TN for potable water.
Why? Do you know? We have both here in Indiana
He’s not drilling in TN
That S trap is so bad!!!
👍🇱🇻
And????
Should done it for free....
If you don't "need" the money, why did you take the old lady's $100.
you get payed from you tube. you said you dont need the money, you charge her $100 ???
14:38 "exactly what I asked for" Sounds like you feel that you should have gotten more? A woman truly in need perhaps you should have done it free of charge. $100 isn't going matter a bit when your putting new tires on that rig.
She wanted to pay me more. She insisted, so I basically asked for half of my normal rate.
@@h2omechanicI’ve done that before and I’m like you. Don’t need it
A good reminder of why you did not become a plumber. Nasty.
When my wife passed away I bought the 16’ enclosed my trailer hauling the Amish. Then my brother moved in with me and decided to move people with my trailer. Never did I ask him for that money. Then I got approved for SSD so he claims he owns both sides. So if I keep the Amish money I make I’m stealing from his business
Opening video. Please stop using the selfie cam on your phone for video. Everything is reversed and you look like you're driving in Australia.
Get a phone holder for the dash and record in normal mode.
Also, any depth over ONE FOOT is "FEET" 40 foot is wrong, 40 feet is correct.
You drill 40 _feet_ but it's a 40 _foot_ well.
The Phone Cops are after you man!
"40 feet " is correct north of the Mason-Dixon. Us southerners always measure in "foot", such as "My new double wide is 45 foot long"
@stevepotthast4911 we charge by the Foot, so yea, we live in the south and drill wells and play in the mud. I'm not a English teacher lol & all my stuff is real in the moment, sometimes we mis-speak. Thanks man! 420foot
