I used to hear "you are the smallest, you get to go in" many times when I was on the tools. I had a bunch of summer cottages to take care of that the butchered up plumbing and access would make you cry. Thank you for letting us watch, Tim
Tim....You the Man!!! Great video. Don't want to leave out the other men...shout out to them as well. It takes honest people like yourself to actually do the job you have been hired to do.
Great video. I have a 1972 Champion single wide and can't afford a plumber to repair my plumping, so I have to do it myself. Do all the older mobile homes have exposed plumbing? And what about the kitchen sink waste water line. I have a soft floor in the middle of the kitchen. Any and all information would be appreciated. Thanks
Looks like it would be a great DIY vid but your voice is quieter than that strange music when you are underneath, so I'm missing the part I really need to hear. The music is distracting and should at least be quieter than you are. Thanks though! I wish there was a way to cut the music and hear you better.
Haha. You got it made under there! Nice smooth sand. Im under there with red Clay and rocks. Many many rocks. What bruises? Come out red. I wish I could follow what you are doing. I have fixed 55 leaks under my poc mobile home. 😪
Been awhile since this video was posted so I hope you or someone else who knows sees this but I’m the new “proud” owner of a 90s double wide with the old PB plumbing. Planning on doing the pex or cpvc repipe myself and have done it before in previous stick built homes but my question has been is it really necessary to try and get the new pipe above the belly? I noticed you didn’t in this video and I would think as long as my place is on a foundation like any other house, it would be fine as long as it’s wrapped. I’ve sure never seen a stick built home with belly insulation covering everything underneath. That’s the one thing I hate most about manufactured houses, you can’t see or easily get to any of the infrastructure underneath
I would use PEX. I have used it for years with no problem. I live in the deep South, so it rarely gets cold for long. If you live up North, you may want to insulate the pipes if you run below the belly wrap.
... I repipe my house with PEX I have a very low roof line and yes you have to take everything out of your pockets for sure but I made a skid out of plywood that I sat on that allowed me to slide across to trusses and it carried the tools and me just thought I'd share that with you something to think about if you haven't forward to hearing from you bye for now Ken
@@PLUMBINGWITHTIM if you take and a half inch sheet of plywood cut it about a foot wide or so. You don't get splinters and slides right across the joists nicely for those tight attics keep up the great work I look forward to hearing from you don't be a stranger bye for now God bless Ken
Under mobile homes do drain pipes rest above the insulation or below? I have a sewer smell coming into the home and I suspect I might have busted through the kitchen drain pipe with a snake and now that needs to be repaired....what a pain it is that you have to cut through the insulation to get to the pipe. I almost rather cut through the floor and deal with that...
Tim - I'm thinking about having a repipe job done to my double wide 2000 mobile home. I also live in the South (that is SC). What would be the average cost to have this done? Thanks
Wow, but I've heard it's a job considering you have to go into the walls and things. Anyway, I've had a chance to look at a pair of pipes inside my house and noticed that they where "tinted yellow". Does this indicate something, or should I still go on the onset that after 20 years, I should still have my house re-pipe? Going to be around SC for the day or two? Thanks
Hey boss if u read this can u give me an approximate price for a 960 Sq ft mobile home 2 bathrooms to redo all the plumbing cuz it has old poly something pipes. We're gonna buy it but not sure the approximate price.
I can't even hear half of what you're saying over the annoying music. Pretty sure that's why I came here. Please fix that in future videos. Music means next to nothing in these type of vids. Getting your point across is everything.
Hey bro great video, I haven't seen you for a while I don't know what's up with that except I just had to re subscribe to your Channel the notification Bell was off. If we don't watch each other's videos TH-cam will delete the subscriber from your Channel I don't know if you're aware of that? Oh thanks for your upload I'm glad I seen it keep up the great work by 4 now Ken PS I just uploaded a video showing you how to put a bullnose on tile or anything else using this technique look forward to hear from you God bless bye for now Ken 👍2
Hello sir. Three years ago I purchased a park model home and live in it full time. It has CPVC piping. Do you think repiping CPVC to pex or copper is a good idea, or, even necessary? I have heard CPVC is prone to breakage eventually. My home is about 15 years old. Thanks sir.
You've got great information, but I can hardly hear it due to the music overlay.
Sorry for that. Thanks for watching
@@PLUMBINGWITHTIM Due to my autism, it was unbearabe to try to listen. And living in a trailer that needs repiping, I was hoping to learn something.
I can't hear what you're saying over that music
Please...drop the music!

Appreciate it Sean. See you soon!
Music interferes with hearing
I like this dude
Tim....You the Man!!! Great video. Don't want to leave out the other men...shout out to them as well. It takes honest people like yourself to actually do the job you have been hired to do.
Lol. Your right Tim the rule of plumbing do not apply to Mobile homes. I did a few myself. Good video.
Thank you Mr. Claude. Take care!
Great vid again Tim thanks for the advice on emptying pockets
Thank you for stopping by. I really appreciate it!
I know Google wants all videos, no matter what, to have background music, but screw them. Could you possibly redo this video without it?
Using cardboard boxes or something else to make pathways helps to reduce and eliminate sand on you and in pockets.
Great video. I have a 1972 Champion single wide and can't afford a plumber to repair my plumping, so I have to do it myself. Do all the older mobile homes have exposed plumbing?

at 2:28 is the reason I don't want to go under my place... you can see a frog jumping right behind you
I couldn't find the subtitles so I missed most of your directions/explanations. Music is always loud enough tho.
Bro that's not a God damn frog that's a fuckin ridiculously large spider. God damn that thing is huge.
I slowed it down and it looks like a mouse checking him out.
Lmao, idk why I thought it was frog but it's something nasty though
Which state you in? We're in eastern Washington and all the pipes are neatly tucked away under the insulation; makes for a VERY big job!
Replace PB with CPVC, so then 10-15 years later it'll have to be done again. Why not PEX....ahh I see..cheap customers.
Thanks for the video, once inside thee mobile home, do you have to tear down walls, etc to access the pipes?
the dirt gets into the wallet and scratches the magnetic strip on the credits cards.

Cpvc is junk my friend
So pex is the best to use in older 1978 mobile homes ?
I would use PEX. I have used it for years with no problem. I live in the deep South, so it rarely gets cold for long. If you live up North, you may want to insulate the pipes if you run below the belly wrap.
Do you do work in Polk County

Not all the mobile homes have the drain pipes up in the insulation

You would be looking at anywhere between $4-5K
Could do without fUnkY music and more volume on the voice.
I can't even hear half of what you're saying over the annoying music. Pretty sure that's why I came here. Please fix that in future videos. Music means next to nothing in these type of vids. Getting your point across is everything.
Point well taken. Will fix that in future vids. Thanks for watching!

If you would turn off music, which no one likes anyway, I could hear what your saying.
Sorry bro old video poor editing skills then thanks for watching
Can’t hear you for the music...

The mobile home I'm living in it's got water coming up in the bathroom tile
Can’t hear ya 👍
I've had my share of repipes , lucky most all the lines are drilled through the floor to reuse the same holes ..

Thanks billy for the comment. Great to see you have a nice weekend!
Turn off the music
