Love the traveling thru township to the jobsite and baby dog. Great job. No I don't want to be a plumber, especially after that pump replacement in the basement,eewww. God bless .

[@williamdyckman9704]

Steve, nice job on that drain. You do a meticulous job, getting it done right. Thanks, for the video.

[@Fireship1]

Great job Steve. That was a good clog. They must eat lots of greasy stuff in that house!

[@larrywright6178]

[@bmoraski]

I have the same sink in my basement and had to snake it couple weeks ago ! lol Great job Steve.

[@smilingcopycat]

You are the man Steve, keep it up!

[@frangitofrangito]

Rubber ducky at the end was a nice touch! 🤣

[@zekenzy6486]

nice video, I learn plumbing from your video. Thank alot steve

[@michaelpadovani9566]

Next level, really like the vest with your company name on it

[@TermitesRGood1]

never pour grease down the drain costly ...

[@elmendez6276]

should of installed a "y" pvc connector for future problems

[@MookieMan1]

Juan Mendez why? He has the clamps that he needs a screwdriver to undo for future snaking

[@edbug007]

Funny how five years later he pays no mind to the phone now let it ring lol 😂 Next Level

[@jamesrenzulli6086]

face shield while using the grinder good safety tip for all who use power tools. have a great weekend from, jim the plumber

[@josephcade3541]

I noticed that there was a clean out plug near the floor how come you didn't use the clean out plug instead of cutting a pipe

[@rich9412]

because the water in the laundry tub would have drained out first. Always make the access point higher then the water level of the clogged fixture.

[@DK_tk3]

rich I mean you just pump out the water. He just doesn’t care.

[@thetobaccotradesman8257]

Hey Steve. Noticed you used hot water in the drain. Some of my drain cleaner friends say to cold with a grease clog. Sometimes they come back again. They say the kinetic water hammer does a great job on grease. Great video. Take care

[@dananderson2297]

Thanks for showing us how to get it done. Real world stuff. Of course there is always more ways to skin a cat. This is the way a real workin man gets it done. On to the next one...

[@aircooledtx]

Grease trapped sink.. Put the ole gundy to it. Good Job Steven

[@nswsparky]

Round these parts in northen MN everyone got the hell away from fuel oil. #1 fuel oil is around $2.60 a gallon and propane is like $1.30 a gallon. at one time here fuel oil was well over $4.00 a gallon. That got alot of people to switch.

[@MrPaul1f]

Great job, nice touch with the duck!

[@ioanbucurici5056]

Good job nice 🥇

[@bjwhiteside34]

I really enjoy watching your channel.

[@jeffreykreft5442]

Hey Steve was that the fire department coming from setting off the smoke alarms? I could read the look on your face when you heard the sirens, like “Oh Shit Momma”. Lol Been there done that!

[@thordehr]

A portaband would be awesome for that.

[@thordehr]

moomike laloo a bimetal blade works for me. No dust either. Might have trouble getting close enough to the wall though now that I think about it.

[@tylerpickersgill]

You need to update some tools man. Get your a k-50 tripod with the spool and the 5/8 drum head

[@MrDanny1775]

i find the ridges K 50 is the best small sewer machine on the market.

[@emildekoven4872]

Do you ever bother to scold the "home maker" who put all that grease down the drain....or do you merely wait until the next stoppage provides "repeat business...."?

[@409novaman]

Why would he scold a moron? Who doesn’t know that grease down a drain is a no-no? These are lazy, stupid people and you can’t cure stupid.

[@davidmoulton5422]

Don't go propane ol Stevie boy is a oil burner mechanic that would be one lees customer lol great job Steve loving the vids

[@erikj.2066]

David Moulton , He does propane, and natural gas systems too. Around these parts oil is cheaper dollar for dollar than propane.

[@GoatzombieBubba]

Southeast MO it costs like 400 dollars for 500 gallons for propane

[@mikeponte]

I think I remember that duck from the claw foot bath tub job. Next level.

[@rustyshakleford5230]

Baking soda and vinegar would have unclogged that in a jiffy. Lol

[@bbm8873417]

nice fix Steve

[@gyver471]

You look at the camera after cutting the pipe like, can you believe this??😂😂

[@robertnocerajr3985]

I'm really surprised that Steve did not cut a clean-out into the pipe here.. you know it's gonna happen again.. anyhow.. good job still here.

[@RespectAllFearNone]

There is a clean out at the bottom, but I think he cut the pipe because if he was to chip off that old cap then all that water up to the level of the sink would leak out

[@b0b0-]

Pretty sure that sink came straight out of a childhood nightmare of mine.

[@frankie2234]

Steve, you look like you lost a lot of weight....looking good!!!

[@donnierobertson3088]

Nice job

[@eugenelief46]

Great job! what was the snake diameter used?

[@Horsecockbadger]

jeeney mac man you looking fit as a fiddle fair play to you man losing weight is hard you must be really disciplined

[@harrydickson4575]

Next level job Steve

[@dwaynebaker9756]

😮 😮😮The Smoke alarm 🚨 has been set 3:19 😮😮😮

[@rodmascotto2691]

New to your videos...really like.....detroit mi

[@andresdelarosa9112]

Great job

[@kemonpapadimitriou9772]

Nice Work!!

[@call.me.k.o.]

Why didn't you install a clean out there????? A little more work next time

[@mtobrien1]

How is that not a clean out now?

[@johngranoski4440]

Is there a reason not to seam in a Plastic "Y" with a cleanout vs putting the metal piping back in?? Just curious... THANKS AGAIN...and you are indeed getting SLIM and TRIM. Impressive in all regards.

[@djscrizzle]

Local codes often dictate plumbing practices -- In Chicago, and other large cities, for many years, Cast drains & type L copper water were the only way houses and other buildings were plumbed out.

[@johngranoski4440]

Thanks...that explains why it was done in Cast Iron originally, but the question is. why not modify it now during the maintenance and repair. I do understand, some codes may not (perhaps) allow that modification, but I am wondering if there is a technical reason not to do so. My house is 1901 --and in Nebraska- and plumbing and drain projects are number 1 things to expect from year to year. Is there a reason -other than local codes- not to piece plastic between two cast iron sections. I dont plan on opening the walls and removing all the cast iron anytime soon! Thanks again for the info, just trying to learn as much as I can.

[@pinecreekposts4390]

Give it the Grundy Steve!

[@ManicMechanic007]

Nice work, but greasy. Next level...

[@cruasantmx2918]

good job

[@rustyscrib6071]

My utility sink is clogged and I noticed that the pipe that goes out from the garage wall into the sewage is clogged with so much gravel and junk. I tried to snake it out, but it won't go all the way through. I'm not sure if I should take off the pipe from the garage wall as it looks so corroded. There is a P-pipe I don't even know how to begin to take off from this fitting (nipple) it's attached to. Everything is galvanized piping and probably hasn't been messed with since the house was built late 40s. Any advice??

[@chrismallory3718]

Replace it

[@carmencompoli5993]

Love the videos

[@REWYRED]

I had that problem at my parents place a while ago.. I should of worn gloves :(

[@Grungerocproductions]

Steve where do you think all that grease came from?

[@mickeypace]

Why not put a clean out in while you have it cut apart?

[@seanrebelo8016]

That's one old soapstone sink for sure

[@jhhvacplumbing1944]

Don't u just love the smell of grease in the morning

[@55098]

an old concrete sink just like I have

[@lepantobenguet5502]

steven, what size and brand of snake did you use for the job and where can I buy them? I want to have one as well.

[@tannerwest6823]

That’s a General Super Vee. Very good handheld machines, last forever

[@mauricioh6716]

Blessings, John 3:16. Jesus loves you.

[@evenflow3256]

Try a diamond wheel they cut much faster and don't come apart like the fibre types...very dangerous when they shatter all over your face.

[@jeffreykreft5442]

Even Flow why he has a full face shield on. Definitely diamond wheels are the way to go, except the cost.

[@andreaechevarria6725]

Did u get the ducks yet?

[@kinggenius6660]

just curious? the section of pipe that was cut out to shorten it why not cut it one time instead of two?

[@jeffash1000]

THE GENIUS he needed room to get the snake into the lower pipe so have to take bigger section out. Then you have to make room for the fernco fittings to fit plus the original pipe section

[@kinggenius6660]

me me yes I realize that but the PC cut out he cut about one inch on each side of it out? so why not just cut two inches off of one side making one cut for the PC took out

[@kinggenius6660]

John Smith LOL I have set off smoke alarms when Brazing in HVAC air handler. I always warn the customer that that might happen

[@efman2k3]

He wanted to square off the ends.

[@kinggenius6660]

efman2k3 makes good sense thank you for the reply Steve is a hard-working guy

[@expodential]

awesome video, kick ass and chew gum. . and you are all out of gum ...!

[@seudosmart5278]

looks like some days are more glamorous than others in this business..... before you know it you'll be pulling the Testo's out again......

[@Straycurrent]

What, did I put hot cooking fat in the sink? No, of course not. I have no idea how it got there. Are you sure that's what caused the clog? lol Good work, nice video Steve.

[@SierraOne]

Lota work that is...

[@GoatzombieBubba]

Oh steve burning down the house...(smoke detectors)

[@pinecreekposts4390]

I meant gundy - next level!

[@rem24319821]

as the sink drains

[@mickeypace]

That line needs to be water jetted. All you do with a snake is punch a hole . It will clog again in a short time.

[@peggybuetow1026]

Too much just sawing.

[@kennyw9267]

There is a clean out plug below. Why did you have to cut out the section of pipe ?

[@S_a_n22]

K & V Dustless Blasting To avoid getting nasty water from those slop sinks on the floor.

[@kennyw9267]

I see. Thanks Shawn.

[@djscrizzle]

And the Dandy fitting probably rusted the plug in solid. That would leave the rather nasty choice of breaking the plug out and flooding the floor with sewage.

[@yambo59]

I was gonna ask the same question, but already answered for me. I could just see that old cast iron plug being rusted solid and busting the hub trying to break it loose. Plus the sink water being at the level it was, then I also thought hell I wouldn't want to kneel hunched down and have my face right there when it opens up. It did occur to me though why not install a clean out now while the pipe is cut, but then I guess the removable cut section serves just as well if not better than a clean out anyway.

[@254JROCK]

+yambo59 cut is made high above water level so Smart Steve stays dry !!!

[@Jesuschristitsjasonbourne3]

Who lives like this

[@hi-ye4rz]

the duck xd

[@SWBoeing]

cooking grease + drain = clog $$$$

[@cristianmunoz2480]

Why do you wear gloves? Lol jk
