As a plumbing contractor I would never flood out a finished basement like that just for the fun of it. Sewer water gets under the ceramic tile via grooved trowels and in about 4 months the smell of mold and mildew will be brutal. I have been called back for a sewer smell and when all plumbing was in good order I got permission to pop a tile off and it was black with mold. The insurance company came back and replaced all ceramic tiles.
So how would you unclog that mess?
@@andrewmoore1536what do you think 💀
@@andrewmoore1536 remove the toilet and pump out the water. Or remove a cleanout at its highest point and inter through there. That was totally unnecessary.
Oh my gosh I thought you said black mold
Wow, now that was an absolute gusher!! Looked like Old Faithful for a moment there. I even saw large chunks of grease come flying out of the fountain! Nice job getting it all cleared up Donald!
Lol, thanks Chad 👍
I like how he doesn’t even try to move the dehumidifier before sewage gets all over it
"Any drain $49.95." You get what you pay for.
Not his job to do that.
@@ShooterMG88 of course it is...what's so hard to do that
@@rmhanseniii it’s really not, that’s on the homeowners.
@@ShooterMG88 obviously, but what would you have him do if it was your house and you forgot to move it. If you came down and saw that it was covered in wet crap you would say don’t worry about it it’s my fault? If you came down and saw it was covered in wet crap you wouldn’t think that he could’ve just kicked it out of the way? Somehow I think that if it was your house, you wouldn’t wonder why he couldn’t move it with his foot a few feet. If it was your house, and you saw it covered with wet crap, you would be pissed, so I guess that makes you a hypocrite
So I’m guessing that there was no outside clean out? And left you no choice but to knock off the clean out cap inside the house. Otherwise why would you flood the basement with poo water? Also it seems like you should have moved the dehumidifier. I know it’s annoying when homeowners don’t move their stuff but they don’t know what’s about to happen. So when I’m faced Customers crap in my way, I move it. And if I had to do that in a house I would call for large shop vac’s and set up a water perimeter to contain it and then suck it all out with the vacs. But hey that’s just me. But if I made that mess all over the floor I would feel obligated to clean it up no question.
That's a crime scene cleaners cleanup and a major insurance claim I would have rented a Porta potty and got my insurer in there to mitigate the damages
Thats exactly how I work also I would've been brain storming something to minimize the mess because I would want the same done at my house
Absolutely. If a plumber did that to my basement, I would be furious.
I'm guessing you get what you pay for. This guy is over 10 times cheaper than the competition. No time to take the items away. Plus the tenants tend to leave low-worth items everywhere around the house just waiting for them to be thrown away. Now perhaps it will get thrown away finally.
Indeed. This guy is just lazy af with no sympathy of the owner.
That trap system works well when it's down in a hole but at floor level it's a bit messy.
*a t a d b i t* messy
Mum always told me never put grease down the drain. Pour it into a can when it cools put it in the back of the fridge and put it out in the garbage on garbage day. Nice volcano, Thar she blows! There's no other way to do it.
...why didn't anyone tell me to do this...
your mom must have known mine. Same advice

Wow that was a geyser...but you I wonder why some people don't move their things out the way. Super cool video 👍✌💗
@ Kimberly McCreary. Yeah it often annoys me when I have to do work and people don’t move their stuff that is blatantly in my way. So what do I do? I move it. I instantly saw the dehumidifier sitting right there knowing that it was going to be a geyser of poo water spraying all over it. I was kind of shocked that this drain clearing guy didn’t move it. So if the homeowner doesn’t do it you should do it. This is my first video that I’ve watchedOf his so I’m taken back by the lack of respect for the house. But I don’t know if there was no other way to enter the main drain maybe by an outside clean out? I don’t know.
Did the homeowner have any idea what was going to happen?
I thought the same thing
I doubt the homeowner knew to expect there to be a geyser and an inch or so of water on the ground. A but rude of the plumber to not move that stuff or ask the customer to move it.
That was one hell of an explosion 💥, very cool, although not for the homeowner. Great job. 💚💚

@@Roblox_mrtomas…what?
👍
How on Earth was the property owner just okay with that? Am I missing something, here? Is it normal to just let shit water like that just soak your house? I really hope they’d planned on having builders tear everything out and re-fit it all
No other way, and yes they was full aware of the situation.
@@NYDRAINS That's insane, but I guess they've got no choice, really. Props to you, though. Every video I've seen of yours you know exactly what you're doing and you deal with some horrendous basements!! Keep 'em coming!
There is another way. It just takes a lot more manpower and a lot more money. Buy having a wet vac on sight and an extra guy is handy. Having a transfer pump. Letting the sewage leak out slowly and pumping it out with a transfer pump as it comes. These guys are all honestly just lazy and don't really give a shit about the home owners. I don't completely blame them but I know how I would approach it would be with care.
No other way?? Pumps don't exist? Moving things out of the path of destruction? Heck, some fucking sandbags to contain the flood to just one area?
@@NYDRAINSdid they not have an exterior clean out? Should have given pricing to install one and perform the drain cleaning externally.
Well you cost that homeowner not only your service but now a mold and mildew cleanup service as well to get up all that nasty water.
the "explosion" is an excellent reason why if you finish your basement prepare for these issues during the construction. Just imagine if there was wall to wall carpet on that floor instead of tile! & also if you know there's water leaking & moe will come gushing out to fix the problem, move your stuff out of harm's way
Being sewage water tile still has to come out unfortunately as well as any drywall it touches.
Now I wonder how much that cleanup will cost lol
Why not pull the toilet and snake it from there first and attempt to avoid the mess? And if you pop it open from there, then open the house trap and clean the line.
Can’t get past the house trap from the toilet.
@@dylandouglas5466 that’s what a drop head auger is for to enter the trap drop straight down then angle up when you go through the u trap
When will people stop dumping oil down the drain? Good job
it wasn't as much a problem years ago, when high flow volume things were used, now everything is low flow blah blah blah.
they probably see those magical dishwasher and soap pack ads that say just jam it in the dishwasher dirty and don't worry about it. vs cleaning it into garbage can and hand washing in sink with many gallons of hot water for washing and rinse water running, which would heat the pipe and be enough to flush it through
So many wonderful treats in this one.... First a nice waterfall treat from the ceiling & then Old Fatihful the geyser!!! Boom Shacka Lacka!! Great job as always Bud, Dirty Jersey out!!
Thanks again 👍
Getting that back up the stairs is going to be tough
I take my machine apart lol, the real is about 160#'s the machine is about 75 to 100
Bit of a messy one, shame it can’t be done externally, it’s a proper work out carrying that 300 machine everywhere, good job though 😊👍
Thanks for the support 🙏
I’m so glad houses down where I live have an inside clean out at the base of the stack and then at least two outside cleanouts that way when you open the clean out you can usually avoid a shit geyser in your basement
Fountain of Poop.. it's sure not the Fountain of Youth.. lol!!!! Nice geyser, great cleaning, and now there's a massive mess to clean up. Hoping you have a great day today!!! Thank you!!!
Thanks for the support 🙏
Forget it, sell the house.
Lol
Is that chalky white stuff from flushing oil and greas down the drain ?
Yes!
Thanks for reply
You think after this job an external clean out install would be an easy sell.
Great videos!!! Keep them coming👍
Thanks for the support 🙏
Just curious, why not snake from the sewer connection at the street towards the house? Wouldn't that avoid the poo explosion in the customer's basement?
Only the city is aloud to use the access to the main sewer lines. If he did, they could get fined and/or have his license pulled.
Many homes don't have any outdoor cleanout and only have the one in the basement like in this example. It depends where in the country or world the home is.
@@jeddavis8468 this is true, there's likely isn't an outdoor cleanout, unless the lines has been dug up and repaired, then it could be in the middle of a driveway or busy foot traffic area at sidewalk
this man a legend
1:53 I knew that will happen
Looks like that whole main line and house trap was recently replaced. Why they didn’t dig out the slab and put a pit in is beyond me.
🤷♂️
At least they called you before it was totally packed with crap
Biggest explosion on the channel I’ve seen yet keep up.
This city needs a total overhaul as regards its sewer system , almost a relic city of bygon ages
3:11 pov me after tsco bell😂😂😂😂
You must have a better immune system than Superman!
Lol 😉👍
don't you just love it? keep them coming
Need to add tracks to that thing God damn. How many sets of stairs I've seen you destroy 🤣. I'm gonna invent a super SUPER light one. I'll reach out when it's ready
Stairs? My poor back 😆
How often to you break the caps when attempting to remove?
I spent 3 days on a sewer line blockage. Grease, wipes, tampons all usual stuff. But it was packed in tight.
That must have been a lot of fishing 🎣
Hey bro can you do a video on what you do to disinfect right after a real dirty job with raw sewage getting on your tools, machines and yourself/ clothing, etc?
I'll keep it in mind 😉
@@NYDRAINS I always wonder that. Respect to you! That's a real job!
@@Allthingsemmylux thanks 😉👍
@@NYDRAINS honestly the way i see some sewer guys work, with barely any PPE on, i honestly think they eat bare handed and pick their noises after a job.. they probably dont even bathe after work either.. Some of you dudes are just plain nasty with almost no PPE LOL
great question
The idea a homeowner understood what was going to happen regardless of whether or not they were informed, is ridiculous. I would have recommended returning the next day and explaining to them how to minimize their water usage to minimize the flood and charged them an additional service call. Aside from that I would have turned down the job and left.
Mario, at it again lol
Lol
Your videos are oddly satisfying
Next call is to ServPro. Lady gonna pay big to get that mess out.
This one is my favorite of all times lol I cannot get enough of it I love seeing all that nasty water leak all over the basement ha ha ha ha ha ha God bless you my brothers and sisters take care✝️✝️✝️
😉
What even happens after this kind of incident? Does he have to pump the water out and then clean up or is there another crew(s) that do that?
Not his problem only gets paid $49.95 to clear one side of the pipe, customer needs to get there own cleaning crew and ideally get someone to clean the pipe properly and cam put down there to check it (probably just fatburgs/ soapburgs)
I like how he polls and it all just pops out
In UK our access points are outside in a small chamber, which if it overflows at least only damages the yard and can be washed away back into the chamber using water and disinfectant after clearing the blockage. Can't understand why in US (or only NY??) you have this system where the basement (or wherever these points are in the building) have to get flooded with sewage just to access the blockage. Can't they be outside ? Discharging any amount of sewage within any part of the building with no way to avoid it, seems unnecessary. Would be interested to know why systems are designed this way.
The location of a sewer cleanout depends on the climate and style of the home, but it's usually located along the lateral sewer line that connects the home to the main public sewer system. There are some homes that do have the access points outside 😉
People just love to dump oil and grease down the drains. I guess they are the one's that keep you guys busy lol
😉👍
Those Spartan augers are so heavy! But they stay put while you use them..
Literal bro, someone eats so much taco bell that the entire city almost floods
My goodness I'm glad I've always lived in the country!! LOL What a mess!! Love the video's keep em coming!! :-)
Thanks 👍
super freaking cool job!!!
🫡
I understand the purpose of the trap to block gases from the mains but this seems like a problem that really doesn’t need to happen
Especially since all the fixtures are already trapped
Here the blockage was actually downstream the main trap
the trap was designed to stop rats,- as I understand it, vent pipes deal with the gases
Since it wasn't a surprise, I would have asked the homeowner if they want to setup a dam with towels first.
Customer was warned before I opened the Cap and no towel was given. Thanks for watching!
You should have supplied something it’s not the customers on to be clean it’s yours. So unprofessional didn’t even move the dehumidifier or kids toys? Definitely wouldn’t hire you to come in my home. No vacuum cleaner no care about raw sewage on kids toys? Awful
@@joem5332 The customer was told to remove everything in and around the closet including toys and dehumidifier and was well aware how big of a mess would happen as a result of removing the cap , and the homeowner wasn't concerned about anything that they left behind.
@@joem5332 what responsibilities do you think the customers should have, being that it’s their house and not his? If he says the customer understood everything and was ok with the consequences then so be it. No need to be so judgmental.
@@joem5332 he was there to unblock a drain not clean the house. Even with towels down it was obvious it was going to happen due to the volume of water being held back. Hopefully you will never need a plumber as im guessing you are the type of person who stands there telling them how to do their job.
Holy crap !! Where's the towels? Where's the shop vac!!! Hahahahh
Wow that's a lot of pressure sorry for the cleanup guys
I usually use ASAP Restoration for situations like this, great professional company I've been using for years.
Can you imagine having to Easter egg hunt the Pooh pieces all over the basement LOL
Lol
1:52 pipe be like: I SHALL BE FREEEEE
Lol
Well that was a crap ton of grease. Literally.
I'm guessing the object at the end was toilet paper or wipes
Big chunks of soap scum.
was there no outside clean out or any other way without flooding the house ???
Now they gotta cut the sheet rock and let it dry
Nice fountain. Better not live on the lower floor or basement apartment.
😉👍
I’d be pissed!,,,!!
Milujem tvoje video
Thank you 😊
Why didnt u pull the toilet upstairs and drop the snake in up there to reduce the flooding of sewage?
The clog was outside towards the street, the snake would never jump the trap from so far away.
Thanks for the video!
Do you put on a new cap when they break like that?
I didn't break , it just separated. But yes when It breaks I do.
Aren't you supposed to open the "dead end" (on the right in the video) to drain water controlled and then open the caps or am I wrong?
That clean-out is level to to floor with no way to catch in a bucket and that cap has never been used and is extremely difficult to open, even if i used a vacuum trickling the water out I would've been there all day with that pressure 🤯😉👍
Who constructs it like that.. wow
@@MonaHerSelfM 🤷♂️
Good video. Was that soap and grease. And if so what can people flush down the drains to dissolve it. Thanks for sharing your hard work with us.
It was large build up of soap scup/grease , yes they do sell products
Wow lots of work
Ciao ma dopo Come fate ad asciugare il pavimento
👋 homeowner had a professional cleaning company afterwards.
Question? Why not have customer remove/pickup items from floor before opening drain?
Trust me I did, the entire closet was full of bikes and chairs, I asked them to remove everything 😑
Woah that was a lot of water that came out it must be hard…
😉👍
You just flooded their basement? Why not try to get it from the outside first? I don't get that.
Not possible, that was the only clean-out to access the clog.
I'm so sorry you have to go through this stuff
🤷♂️ thanks 👍
Makes no since to me to clean out in the basement like that, you will never get the smell out of the house
I just love your videos I watched every single one and if you bring out with Murch I will buy all of it!
I'm glad you enjoyed 👍 Awesome, coming soon! 😉
Mum always told me never put grease down the drain pour it into a can when it cools put it in the back of the fridge and put it out in the garbage on garbage day nice volcano thar she blows there's no other way to do it
🤯💨😉👍
I notice in your videos like this one at 4:09 you do a point in one direction or the other..is that for a reason.like telling us something?
Yes, I do that to let everyone know I switched directions and started pulling back the snake.
@@NYDRAINS cool i thought there was a reason and not a nervous twitch,lol. Thanks for the reply.new sub here from fla.
It’s Mount Saint Backup!🤣
😆
Great Videos!!! keep it up!😇
Thanks 👍 Merry Christmas 🎄
the whole house is gonna flodd
They had a sum pump not to far away 😉
Every cap got to be broken instead of twisted off??????????
I was thinking the same thing at first, but then look theres the cap and the rubber ring. Looks like the rubber ring is sandwiched between the cap threads and the pipe threads to seal. Not actually damaging the threads by hammering it out.
It’s a lead fit-all you pound them in basically . The threads are usually rotted on the cover and that’s what you have to use.
When will people learn that wipes and grease do not go down the drains, yes some fat and grease will go down with normal washing of dishes. Dump that grease in a can let it cool and toss it out. Put a bin next to the toilet for wipes if you use them.
😉👍
The water was like that shiiit busuususususuusudhddkidiatin
AHHHHHH !!!!!!!
DON'T TOUCH THAT !!!!!!!
Lol
Is there a way to relieve the pressure so as not to have that titanic like gush of never ending water ?
Fun to watch these videos but he should've moved the dehumidifier. If he didn't want to he should've called the homeowner and asked him to move it. Have the courtesy to communicate with the client. He may not of had a clue that sh!t water was going to explode out of the trap there.
The homeowner was warned of such a potential disaster and to remove all items from that area before i started.. For whatever reason, they left the dehumidifier and anything else 🤷♂️
Good Lord those stairs were a hassel by themselves 😬
Oh definitely!
What an explosion. Nasty big bits in that. I feel sorry for the person cleaning that up.😵😫😩 Great job though.👍👍👍👍👍👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
👍
The white thing on the left is like, “AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH LET ME OUT LET ME OUT OF HERE IT HUUUUUUUURTS!!!!!!!!”
Lol
What a job. Needed doing though.💥💥💥👍👍👍🤑🤑
Now the sewage is all over your basement
Did you tell the customer that would happen before you flooded and ruined her basement?
The closest was completely loaded with stuff and the homeowner was warned and well aware of the potential mess and told me not to worry about the mess, that she was more concerned about being able to use the bathroom again.
@@NYDRAINS ok I see. that’s good that you warned her before. That’s crazy 😜
1:53 big explosion
Why didn't you go to the outside clean out trap
There was no clean-out on the outside!
no entiendo como no ha inventado algo para bajar las escaleras sin destruir toda la casa
When was the last time she did her sewer ?? 10 years ago lmao 🤣 did you asked her???? Good job 👍
Just about! Thanks 👍
I don't think she could live in that house after, it would be dangerous.
Ohhhhhhh noooooo and wow at the same time
Good work
The sewage water all up in the house I would be 😡
