A LOT of your customers need to clean their houses. Wholly moley man
That whole setup looks ridiculous
Nice video Steve, i learn alot watching vids...thanks
Feel like I should be wearing gloves just watching these videos, minging houses!
Great work Steve! You really get to work in some quality homes sometimes!
another great video. thanks for sharing.
garunteeing drain cleaning good way to go out of business fast ... nice work steve
Good job. Thanks for the video.
years ago my mom dropped plastic in the kitchen sink, my uncle had to fish it out of the disposal with a pair of 24" needle nose pliers. Next level!
Wow! That's friggen crazy watching this! A friggen car hose used as a pipe!!!
Or dishwasher hose!
Yeah I thinks the Globe is going up in smoke before the next leak here! LOL!
another fine job Steve u and baby dog
How many different styles of plumbing can someone connect together lol
Good job, Steven!
Thanks a lot for the video!
Local school once asked if I can go look at a sink that wasn’t draining, I found 11 butter knives in that p-trap lol glad they weren’t real knives cause I reached my fingers in there
Gee- if they had had a strainer in the tub maybe this wouldn't happen???
read my mind dollar store strainer no need for a plumber
If only people understood where their water comes from, how, and where where it goes after they’re done with it, we’d all be better off.
Normally the drain plug it self has the strainer with plug built into the fitting so you can't drop large items (I could imagine a rat or pop comming out if that
The usual explanation applies - they're tenants. No skin in the game. Inconvenience the landlord to deal with an issue caused by the tenant's lack of personal responsibility. And get the landlord pay for the tenant's fault.
Probably not even paying rent during COVID.
Hey, those unbelievable connections end up making you money!
Hey! Steven your good!! 👍🏻✌🏻
Great job Steve! How many comments say "you should've re-piped the house", lol!
i was there to get the tub draining ,,,thats what i did .sure supertech will say all kinds of stuff .i only do what i get payed for .
First rule as a landlord DONT spend any money!
This is what they don't tell you about being a landlord.
Man, there’s some people with pretty filthy bathrooms
Does someone question you about wearing gloves or do these jobs without wearing gloves ????! Is that even possible?! You said it so many times I’m assuming it’s something your questioned about . That’s sounds absolutely crazy that someone would touch septic matter without covering or protecting there hands !
I don't miss doing those jobs but I always felt good when I got the job done. I am a Inspector now. Thinking about it I do kinda miss the hands on stuff.
I've seen some rigged plumbing in my life but that is definitely backyard plumbing 101...lol Hey, water drains uphill!
My bathtub drains uphill too.
That is one rank looking bath tub!
The Dog says " WOOF , BARK BARK BARK, WHINES, BARKS "
Next level Steve
That's not much of a drain for a bathtub. wow. What's the dishwasher drain doing in the basement? weird! Great video Steve, have a nice weekend.
To check for drain leaks I always fill tub ¾ full then release water. Just turning on faucet and letting water run is a method that can bite you.
Waste of water too.
@@Yophillips3272 how is it a waste if it keeps you from getting call backs.
@@Yophillips3272 it's the only correct way to check a drain for leaks.
@@engineclinic No, I was agreeing with you. In the video he said he ran the tub for 30 min. I thought that was too long. How long does it take to fill the tub and drain it maybe 5 min.
Talk about miss matched piping, in the basement plastic, to cast, to brass, back to plastic, back to cast, and a illegal fernco, in between...!!!
Within. This particular video, horizontal section between rough brass p-trap, to existing sanitary tee to the left, would be very first place in correct direction towards problem
I find all kinds in drains. But how do you get a plastic shopping bag in there? Find them all the time..."why would you wear gloves?" Lol. Classic
Good job
Well done
Even baby the dog was mystified by that tub drain. She stared out the open truck window as if to say, what a flipping mess!
At least the tenant admitted what they did and you were told straight up what caused the problem, so you could solve it right away, instead of wasting time.
Thanks
A sawzal with a metal blade (to remove old brass spud) and a new ABS "Waste & Overflolw" kit yields a new tub spud (with a built in strainer and depress-able plug ) and overflow cover. Kids will play..... and something else will end up in that 4- part tail-piece with the Y-branch section for the dishwasher. It's not pretty but that gas line in the way is the reason it's plumbed that way. It'll last forever if ya protect it with a permanent strainer.
That's some plumbing. All that tubular plastic, the dishwasher tailpiece down there instead of under a sink and the furnco without the metal band clamp. Looks like the landlord has been doing some plumbing on the side. And not his good side. Lol. At least you got them draining agin Steve. Fixed it and moving on!
"why do you wear gloves I can never figure it out" lol I love it
Because some things are dirty
culverts 210 who are you responding to? I was quoting from the video, were you dumb enough to think I was asking a question?
Yes because he says it a million times in his videos. I started muting them!
Quite a professional looking caulk job
yeah, i thought they used a tennis racket to tool the joint. smoooth, baby!
No warranty without a secured drain cover
Maybe the dog plumbed it.
Man at least the house has a basement. I’m in Louisiana and rented a snake. My 8 year old son stuck a hot wheels car down the tub drain on the top in th bathtub. I hope we’re able to get this out. I rented a snake from Home Depot but only got a 50 foot
Looks like the hot and cold packing leaking too.
once I heard "I dropped the cap down the drain" I would have grabbed the shopvac
Exactly where I would have started. Cover the overflow and put some suction on it. But hey, the cap might have been wedged in the pipe pretty good.
He broke out the blue monster!
9m nitrile extreme heavy duty gloves from harbor freight!!! They are great
I found 3 pristine looking fast food wrappers, the foil kind, not the paper… in the sewer. I sent the camera in, didn’t see nothin like that. I hear a flush in the bathroom. About 10 min later I’m pulling the camera out and bam.. 2 balled up and 1 that looked like somone put it down there so nice and neat… felt like I was being caught on camera
Trust me, you’ll be back to this one. Dopes like this, provide a secure income stream.
Have you tried a wet dry vacuum
Is there a dishwasher draining it that? And, kitchen & bath drains are different diameters; 1 1/4 & 1 1/2. I can see an issue connecting those pipes based on that alone!
You can locate the cap by running your root cutter, then noting the distance it went.
and that is why they d not have shampoo bottle like that. Also put a hair strainer over the open drain...
what was the odd find? what was the problem about gloves?
Is that other Rube Goldberg connection for a dishwasher , was is plumbing repair for over 40 years never saw anything like that before.
I've been plumbing for 4 years and the shit I see home owners do make this not surprise me at all
@@force311999 they also make an indirect drain fitting for them
Looks like the engine room of the titanic down there
A little fritz on that trap plug?
This should be called: "I have a monster in my basement"
Good looking watchdog u have there.
Why do you wear gloves, lol
Love the vids dude
Why isn't there a catch on that basket in the tub? That would have prevented all this!
What did that hose go to? The dishwasher?
Wow, im no plumber, but youre so right - all that thin wall tubing under the floor, not even code im guessing, needs to be re-plumbed with hard line - should all be schedule 40 no-? And that dishwasher baffle has no place there either. As you said, the stuff you run into.
Wow.. you should see the pipes in my 100 year old house..I am excited to be getting. New ones next week. Bye bye nasty galvanized crap.
Kind of an odd place for the dishwasher drain to connect to.
Maybe by today's standards and codes, but certainly not in the 1960's when that train wreck was assembled.
Next time use the shop vac to suck debris up instead of trying to blast it down.
agreed and its simple
11:00 🐕 dog is thinking that was a phucked up pipe job......
I hate houses that have a AC condensation lines tied into the ptraps, that condensation plaque algae clogs up your drain every summer
Just another reason I didn't go into plumbing! I did run with a couple of good plumbers. but after a few months of seeing the S*** SHOW I was done.
Couldn’t have been a plumber that installed that 🤪
OMG!!! The plumbing and the house is a mess !!!!
Did you leave the baffle in that fitting? Why can't you file the baffle off?
gloves are used as safty due to hazardous stuff. bacteria, electricity, cuts and so on.
Electricity and cuts?
why is that odd?
me when i saw the crazy copper toilet pipe:nice plumbing heh heh...
im being sarcastic
Horizontal sections 90% problems, especially if poor strapping initially. Also if min 1/4 per foot, very least 1/8th per foot fall within new horizontal line isn't placed.
Aint no Taj Mahal!
Looks like that pipework raises up at the elbow🤔
I like to play with pipes too
I can't believe he put that pvc from the tub to the trap back in there. I would have repiped it and let the customer know before hand that it's wrong.
Nothing wrong with it
@@truefalse207 really?
I've been a resedential service plumber for 5 year resedential new construction plumber 7 years and commercial new construction plumber 10years and you say nothing wrong!?
Whats wrong with it?
What cap?
ummmmmm.......this is unbelievable !
Are all those slip coupling legit? Geez, after seeing this setup, maybe my tub ain't so bad after all!
Those aren't "slip couplings". They're ferncos. They're designed for cast iron and pvc. Totally legal and required on cast iron piping.
@@Scott-eo7lj thank you for educating me. :-)
I’m hocked to ur videos..
So I couple questions does every house you go to have a dog ha ha Ha
And I was curious what kind of camera you use for filming As always you’re fun to watch Steve I’ve done a lot of this work so this is enjoyable
Ain't no Taj Mahal There mama yikes!
I had a toddler flush a paper dixie cup down the toilet it was just big enough to get caught on the flange for the wax ring, had to pull the toilet to get it out.
No good housekeeping seal of approval
Needs more than the drain fixed on that job.
Your luck u have a basement to work through in Texas we have slab houses we won’t be able to do that
Why are most landlords slumlords?
I hope they can get a better house.
9:57 "Ferncos are not legal." Can you explain this? I have had two plumbers tell me the only way to join ABS and PVC is with a flexible coupling and it's totally up to code. Love your channel!
It may need to be a shielded no hub coupling Instead of just a rubber fernco. Im curious too
years of cobbed up repairs for sure, looks like my house! At least they admitted dumping the cap down the drain and didn't blame you....Was the cap caught in the elbow, or in the dishwasher drain baffle?
I guess a new tub valve is out of the question ⁉️
How could a cap fit in there?
Is that a branch tail piece on a tub? Where the heck is that legal? What would they have going into that.
When renters pay what they do each month, you have to ask the question, am I getting any value with my money? Likely in this case, NO as its obvious handy man Joey has been there a few times messing up the plumbing.
YUCK, scuzzy New England bathroom
