Hats off to your video editor. Very smooth the way the video image was cleanly superimposed on the equipment monitor. And an excellent exploration of a sewer line! :-)
I love this channel! Roger you have really inspired and taught me a little more about the plumbing trade. Currently a home inspector in CA but heading to AZ and looking for a new beginning in plumbing. Thank you brotha
Thanks for all these videos Roger! I’m considering a career in plumbing and you’re very inspiring. Speaking of inspiration, seems like your video editor is a fan of Tim and Eric! Great Job!
I probed around looking for a cleanout for an apartment complex and poked through a high-pressure gas main. Several buildings were evacuated, and streets were closed off by the fire dept. Almost got into a lot of trouble for that. Pretty embarrassing rookie mistake.
Hello, Roger! We live in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and winter is already around the corner. We've already hired a plumber to install a missing branch to one of the vents on the roof. I suspect that we may have additional venting issues, maybe blockage. Our neighbors have installed various "caps" on their vents to prevent critters from plunging the vents. However, some plumbers recommend leaving the vents open, and inserting copper "t-pipes" to maximize warm air to rise and melt any snow. I'd like to screen off the opening and/or install a venting cap. Any recommendations for us? Thank you.
Ok so I have a lil septic line issue, a good old blockage. I posted on another video about a blocked vent, fixed that issue. Now I'm on to the septic line, I've tried getting to it through the toilets, shower etc. But to no avail, so I'm wondering would a house built in the 60s have clean outs? Or would I have to go in through the septic tank it's self? Any insight, tips, tricks or fixes. Would be greatly appreciated, thanks everyone. This is my go-to place for help now.
Sorry Roger for an off topic question. Do you have one or 2 plumbers you would recommend that would service the Southlake, Grapevine or Roanoke areas. I have a job that is a bit unusual. Thank you
Hey Roger, thank you for the reply. Should I try to contact you through Texas Green Plumbing? Here is my situation, I live in a tiny house (similar to an RV) and the plumbing system was incorrectly designed. It only has one vent. That existsing vent is the interior type that splits off near the bathroom sink P-trap. So the system needs to be carefully evaluated and appropriately vented. Thank you for the help
I would recommend that they get their sewer jetted to remove all the build up. Then the camera to see where it is bad. trench under the house using the locator head. Cut out existing bad pipe sections and use slip joints to finish it off
It would be nice if you can do a video on ORANGEBURG PIPE. Yesterday I tried to scope a sewer line but I couldn't cz it's full of water all the way to the pipe, I tried to cleared with the sewer machine but it didn't do much, after a while lots of black stuff , I've got a feeling it might be Orangeburg pipe it just does not go down at all even after running the machine wait for a day, water its just standing in the pipe by the clean out (they repipe under the slab but they didn't at the front of the house going towards the City). What are your thoughts on this? Thanks in advance
Hever Morales if it's still holding water I would try a hydro-jetter then possibly recommend replacement. Where are you located? We don't see much Orangeburg here... Thanks for watching and commenting!
Thank you for the Channel I learn alot. Can you show us how to removed a stuck camera head? Im assuming there is a order of steps? Also can you let me know what model/brand this camera is? You say around 7:50 minute mark that you are 70" in, are you guessing or does the screen tell you that? I see you wiping it off as you bring it in but do you rinse it off with a water hose before you load it into the truck?
Yo , use soap dish soap that will allow u to remove snake cables , jetter hoses , cameras and you helpers hand cuz you know he needed to get the clean out extractor he drop inside of it. Your welcome helpful tip from your guy at overtime plumbing.
The instrument's screen image looks superimposed on the original screen. Every time it seems he points to something on the screen the video editor changes angle to hide that fact. You can rotoscope his hand so we can see what he's pointing to.
I forget whether he said the pipe was cast iron or plastic because it's hard to believe that would be plastic cuz it's just so nasty I always thought plastic stayed pretty clean
Hi Roger I am 62 year old woman who lives by myself I had 2 local plumbers to come out cost 13 hundred dollars all my savings and the problem not solve I have tried all options even trying reverse mortgage I am disable my house is so old have no income and no restroom could you help in anyway thank you
i tend to put a ss bolts dead center of the pvc cap with a detection disk on it. -helps to locate the cleanout when its too low but yet mowers clear it fine.
Doing this when.....has been helping our bussiness Yeah doing certain things more then usual would mean you made more money very clever observation there Im just fucking about great channel
Hey Roger, great video and not trying to put you on blast but youtube doesn't have a private message feature or I would have used that. Alot of what you mentioned was roots was nothing but lint or spiderwebs. There was alot of that cast iron that was cracked on both sides. When you pulled back the camera 10-12' to get the direction....just look at the poles to get the direction. Thats not mud on the camera. Etc etc.....I like alot of what you put out but on this, you were off on quite a bit. Sorry man, not trying to be a jerk.
Sewer Roundtable Review there actually were roots and mud in her system, along with other things. We have explained everything to her. This was actually a video about how to find the cleanouts, that's why we didn't go into everything along the way. Thanks for watching and commenting though...
What did y'all think of today's video? Let me know if you have ever used a Sewer Cam before!
cool video interesting how this stuff is done
You've got a really nice camera you almost mess it up when it got stuck !
so are most camera design to go into a branch drain such as KS drain?
Great video! I just started drain cleaning this year. We use a sewer camera quite often.
I use the vivax microtech line of cameras, I can get all 200ft of spool down a pipe if there's only a few bends
Kevin Burgess sweet. I will check it out.
at 4:23 i thought i was having a stroke because the audio was overlapping.
I thought another video was playing on another tab.

Love these in the field hands-on videos. Great learning tool!!!!
That is some of the cleanest views i ever seen when snaking a camera down the line.
Great video, I always enjoy watching you do these. It's super informative but easy to watch and understand.

Thanks for the informative video! Greetings from California!
Excellent
Made me laugh with your gotcha moment at the end
Dude, 1:18 was my favorite part.
Sorry Roger for an off topic question. Do you have one or 2 plumbers you would recommend that would service the Southlake, Grapevine or Roanoke areas. I have a job that is a bit unusual. Thank you
Oscar Mike unusual in what way? I know some plumber sin that direction. Jut not sure which to recommend...

Roger good sir, I love your content and oh man do you make it funny🤣 the rag .. 🤣 I wish you the best!
8:22 was that really from the tool? If so, that must be the best part of your job.
i like this aliengun lol
It would be nice if you can do a video on ORANGEBURG PIPE.

@@RogerWakefield In Austin Tx. This house is located in south Austin Manchaca & William Canon.
Most likely this has to be replaced.
That made me miss working on the city camera truck. Man the things u see in a sewer lol
What kind of camera are you using?
I really like your videos. I wish you'd volume equalize them a bit so Im not turning you up to hear you and then being blasted by loudness at the end.
Thank you for the Channel I learn alot. Can you show us how to removed a stuck camera head? Im assuming there is a order of steps? Also can you let me know what model/brand this camera is?

Roger the dogs are saying OMG its roger wakefield guys!!! honest
Yo , use soap dish soap that will allow u to remove snake cables , jetter hoses , cameras and you helpers hand cuz you know he needed to get the clean out extractor he drop inside of it. Your welcome helpful tip from your guy at overtime plumbing.
Curious about sewer water test.
Are there accessible. Test Wyes out there in texas down stream. So you can use test weenie. To perform test.
would i find one on a 1950 home?
Can you rent that camera and device?
Whats the name on the Sewer Cam!??
Does that thing really make that noise?
The instrument's screen image looks superimposed on the original screen. Every time it seems he points to something on the screen the video editor changes angle to hide that fact. You can rotoscope his hand so we can see what he's pointing to.
Likely sunlight hitting the screen making it hard to see, so editor superimposes the image
I forget whether he said the pipe was cast iron or plastic because it's hard to believe that would be plastic cuz it's just so nasty I always thought plastic stayed pretty clean
Can I sample your red tool for a song? Lol
Hi Roger I am 62 year old woman who lives by myself I had 2 local plumbers to come out cost 13 hundred dollars all my savings and the problem not solve I have tried all options even trying reverse mortgage I am disable my house is so old have no income and no restroom could you help in anyway thank you
I'd descale with a Miller and flush out that scale.
By the way, I saw you wore gloves. Back in the day, we didn't wear gloves but instead washed our hands before biting our nails.
i tend to put a ss bolts dead center of the pvc cap with a detection disk on it. -helps to locate the cleanout when its too low but yet mowers clear it fine.
That’s really cool but also I feel pretty bad for the owner. Looks like she’s gonna need a lot of work done and it’s gonna be expensive.
audio check next time man if you edit your videos you should watch them before the go live rookie mistake.
Doing this when.....has been helping our bussiness
Yeah doing certain things more then usual would mean you made more money very clever observation there
Im just fucking about great channel
Roger, if you didn't find a cleanout in the back of the house would you have pulled a stool or gotten on the roof?
Shawn Strong I always look for a wall cleanout first. Either of those options work.
Hey Roger, great video and not trying to put you on blast but youtube doesn't have a private message feature or I would have used that. Alot of what you mentioned was roots was nothing but lint or spiderwebs. There was alot of that cast iron that was cracked on both sides.

Man there is a lot of baby wipes.
How about a happy ending??
