badly leaking kitchen sink fixed:plumbing tips

[@matttruk9518]

Love your videos!!! One suggestion, if I may, you should put the water supplies on before dropping the faucet in place. Makes life way easier, especially with those cheap faucets.

[@patrickgamache9935]

A trip from another plumber. In this situation you could have put the supply lines ON before putting the faucet on the deck. Patman

[@sarahdeshay1394]

Patrick Gamache and buy a set of line wrenches or at least one 5/8” open end wrench.

[@hvacsoldier1554]

Good job fixing up that five car pileup of a disaster in the kitchen. But what was with the lady randomly burning her household trash on her outdoor patio? That's some stuff you see in Afghanistan or Iraq! Great Work

[@kevinharris8926]

Good job fixing that problem u are amazing steve

[@michaelpadovani9566]

That's really unfortunate about the 10 min flood - yikes! Quit drinking in the morning and call the plumber first thing, lesson learned here. Love the dog in the beginning and end too!

[@stevenlavimoniere]

+Michael Padovani i try to keep the dog in the videos , she is part of them

[@robertnocerajr3985]

Givers gain.. it's better to give than to receive and I believe that... Anybody who has anything must give back.... Great message again here Steve... Trust me I have done my Fair share of rental properties and I will do the same for those.. myself. Robert jr NJ here Asbury Park

[@mr.dahliaking.202]

Hi Steve, I just want to give you a friendly tip ok? When you installing a new faucet, take off the aerator before even running water, that way if there is some dabries in the pipe it will flush out. After then put the aerator back on and it will not be clogged from start.

[@stevenlavimoniere]

+Vytautas Poška i know all about that ,,,,this is not my first rodeo brother

[@LexVance]

Nice one Steve! Boozing in the morning, wowzers. Funny how people think what we do is easy. They mess it up 90% of the time.

[@stevenlavimoniere]

+Lex Vance i see this alot

[@Fireship1]

It ain't gonna be cheap today! Lol. You get what you pay for. Good service costs money. After being flooded myself from hurricane Sandy I can attest to the fact that ANYTHING is cheaper than a flood! You fixed her up good Steve. I don't think her son will be her 1st choice as a plumber anymore!

[@TheExmark36]

Nice work gotta love them disposable faucets every Plumbers favorite spot underneath the flippin kitchen sink specially on a Saturday

[@realryandugger]

Nice job steve. I like to pack the escutcheon on the sprayer with putty. Makes it harder to tighten but keeps the splashing dish washer guy from calling me back.

[@stevenlavimoniere]

+Ryan Dugger myself i do not do it .we all work differently i guess

[@jhhvacplumbing1944]

Nice work Steve , never heard of project source before but it's what they bought . I never can understand when people turn off the angle stops just a simple test by opening the faucet to see if they hold will prevent a flood lol.

[@stevenlavimoniere]

+justin henning she said the water was running into basement for 10 minites looked like smoke in kitchen from the steam from hot water

[@dwight.bennett]

That's a Lowes store brand pile of plastic for $37.00 that is labeled a faucet. There are disposable white plastic sheets that can come in handy for nasty cabinets like that. The commercial housekeeping crews use them in office building for piling up the trash bags to protect the carpeted floor until they haul them all down the service elevator to the trash dumpsters/compactor.

[@dklucas1]

Excellent job Steve ooooo mama steve is working hard again on saturday

[@stevenlavimoniere]

+dklucas1 steve is working again mama next level mama lol

[@RRada-kx8ip]

nice job Steve, looks like you definitely stumbled onto leaker on that job....keep em coming buddy.

[@gyver471]

Hilarious when you said Saturday afternoon doing a faucet change out for a lady with no money😂😂

[@Twelvegoldteeth]

That was funny

[@Learnplumbing.online]

I get not replacing things just to make extra money. But for the time and price why not just replace the whole angle stop? Cut the copper and install new ones. Faster and now it’s all new...

[@TheExiledAce]

could solder on new ones to get rid of the garbage compression style as well

[@edmarsh1965]

Steve,good job as always.you are the best!!!

[@jonhexom8310]

Nice fix Steve. Nothing but quality in that faucet, hahah. Good video Man.

[@danc.5553]

Nice job Steve

[@dburto13]

Great job Steve, saved the day!

[@Brad1237202]

Fine job Steven!! Seeing we had a rainy day today, I looked back at your kale soup video and cooked up a pot for myself. I don't understand it. The wife is a "Port" and I asked her how to make kale soup. She says, "I don't know!!" I said,"No problem, I'll just look back at an old Steven Lav video! Next level Momma! LOL!!!

[@stevenlavimoniere]

+Brad1237202 there you go sometime you have to cook it up yourself you can't go wrong with that soup

The poor lady depending on the boozing son. I bet she can fix up some good grub. Her burning the stuff was a riot.

[@mitchelsantos8898]

You're videos are great ... I just wish you would tell us how much you charge for different jobs

[@markbaker5366]

No way he would tell us ..he has to watch for competition and income taxes… ( I R S )

[@65csx83]

I know how that son felt. Fixing my parent's 'quickie fix' leak: shutoff leaked; supply line shutoff leaked; main shutoff leaked. Had to shut off at the meter and systematically repair each shut off to get back to the original what was supposed to be a quick fix.

[@leeb.7188]

Baby Lav, hardest working dog in the plumbing business!

[@danielc.3725]

Steve LAV, best plumber Tech on the planet y'all, hahaha LOL!!! 😂🤣👍, next level, next level, "MAMA, mama"!!!!

[@leeb.7188]

I feel bad for the old lady. Stomach cancer and chemo and son's a drunk on top of that...too much. Baby's looking good in her new collar!

[@harrydickson4575]

[@stevenlavimoniere]

+Moonlite Johnny all in a days work

[@MonoChorMe]

Its really is sad/disappointing when some younger ones cant even hold a screwdriver nor do anything decently right... :\ I'm 24 - and I can vouch for my self being pretty darn handy with my hands since I was like 10 // (mostly in electrics, some plumbing, patching/fixing things up (almost everything heh), and even some "precision works" - minuscule things - like; watches, jewellery etc.)... My home hasn't seen a technician of any kind in the last 10 years, all because of the regular maintenance and "TLC" given' to it :) -- well... except only once, when the water meter had to be changed and the plumbers came to do that... In Russia there's an expression for "unhandy-people" and it goes by: "If you cant fix it with your hands - then your hands are growing from up your ass" (roughly translated - albeit, in Russian it doesn't sound as crude as I translated it hehehe - but you get the idea) :)

[@kennyw9267]

Love the nothing but quality here comment,makes me laugh every time!

[@bbm8873417]

Nice repair Steve,She was a Gusher Momma

[@stevenlavimoniere]

+Bernard Sobbe lol ya she was

[@chrismallory3718]

Grade A quality 😂 theres things in life you should never be cheap with.

[@thegreatjellydoughnu]

nice work cleaning up that disaster. what is your preferred brand faucet Steve and did thy put the rubber gasket between sink and the strainer and not under the sink at the strainer nut?

[@stevenlavimoniere]

+The Great Jelly Doughnut i have delta or gerber faucets in the truck but will install what ever the home owner buys

[@nodd85]

Maybe they got the faucet on a black friday deal for $14.99

[@canyoncrow11]

Falls a part in a month

[@wvcaver774]

What brand faucet do you like ?

[@MrVTer]

Is there a way to tell what size washer you need in any shut-off?

[@josephfortuna2006]

hey steve, great informative videos.

[@cristobalpacheco4202]

Hey Steve do you ever use silicone around the base of the toilet? Thanks

[@stevetheplumberbreeding7402]

Looks like an S trap!? Not allowed in Missouri St.Louis!! Guess they are ok where you are!

[@rpggmg1]

Nice job Steve. Just wondering what your truck is?

[@stevenlavimoniere]

+raymond gourre its a work horse truck

[@nicholasceea4109]

Nice job Steve, what junk you had to work with!

[@stevenlavimoniere]

+Nicholas CeeA lol i always say the stuff i have to work with sometimes is crazy

[@americanfirst913]

“Well will see ya” lmao that whole situation is trouble!

[@bigmike3964]

Lesson learned from the son i presume, when you turn off the valve, double check the faucet to make sure its completely off. Then go to basement shutoff , then main if necessary

[@dennis-sj6im]

God I hate homeowner supplied stuff ... and not to mention on a saturday, been there many times ... nice repair steve

[@stevenlavimoniere]

+dennis postek cheap faucet for sure

[@vipleather]

[@fixitwithzim]

Project Source is Lowes house brand. Cheap shit. They make toilets, vanity cabinets and electrical stuff too. All cheap garbage. Good vid man

[@teh60]

Good repair Steve, was that supposed to be a faucet that they gave you to install....lol...?

[@theimaginator16]

That's a mighty fine hat you've got there LOL! Just messing. Too bad about the cheap faucet. Was she really burning the sheet you were laying on?

[@stevenlavimoniere]

+Ryan Losinger ya she was under the sink was nasty black with mold i would burn it also . she was durning all her trash out back with a mask on very weard . plactic and all .

[@theimaginator16]

Wow. My friend's mom cuts everything into tiny pieces before recycling it. Different strokes for different folks I guess!

[@stevenlavimoniere]

+Ryan Losinger i was afraid she was going to throw me on the fire when she seen the bill

[@bg147]

+steven lavimoniere Where I live, a lot of people burn all of their trash to save money.

[@lroct6654]

Steve you make me laugh sometimes about you saying " why are you wearing gloves steve" must be a rookie who says that.. this all common sense.if steve did not wear gloves the dog would have been sick by now. Good job Steve .

[@bg147]

What was wrong with the faucet that she had? It is better to repair the old, quality item than to replace it with the China special.

[@RobHVAC]

Nice repair. That was a mess

[@coollasice4175]

Good repair. i don't know if your dog has a name, so i suggest "Lieutenant".

[@stevenlavimoniere]

+Cooll Asice she has a name already she is a rescue dog 7 years old her owner died at 80 years old dogs name is baby . she is a great little dog i am trainer her to be,,,,,,, a proud master hvac technection lol

[@Ingmaringmar]

[@waltradcliffe4482]

Customer supplied parts suck then they call you back in a week when it fails thinking you should warranty it I have a friend that told one of his customers you are so cheap that you take your own hamburger to MacDonald’s and expect them to cook it for you

[@stevenlavimoniere]

+nate nothing but quallity

[@randykocian4738]

Good one, Steven. Baby's not a fan of Saturday work. Can't say i blame her.

[@stevenlavimoniere]

+Randy Kocian i try not to work on the weekend unless i have to

[@anthonyfigueroa691]

Why didn’t you just put the lines on first then slide it inside the holes of the sink so you don’t have to kill you’re self doing it under the sink ?

[@JasonW.]

Would be a bear to get the plumbing lines down if they were attached. I tried it once, it doesn't fit. And with that cheap faucet, the lines would probably crack while trying to get it to fit the sink top hole.

[@FoardFow]

You can't beat a rat terrier...We are on our third one !!!

[@anthonygruner2670]

U guys ever see a faucet like this

[@stevenlavimoniere]

+Anthony Gruner we try to keep this channel clean because kids watch it .so no waked out video links will be allowed

[@mr.dahliaking.202]

ten MINUT! hahaha lol :DD

[@leonbogon148]

LOL!! Do the job before you start drinking!!!!!!!!

[@cristianmunoz2480]

Why do you wear gloves? Lol

[@volvo09]

hahahahha, that ladys son sounded real smart... He didn't even have the basic common sense such as verifying that the water shut off actually worked BEFORE disconnecting a line, or even having the common sense to STOP unscrewing the connection! water had to have been coming out of that joint before it popped off and flooded the place! No common sense......

[@stevenlavimoniere]

he is a drunk she said

[@canyoncrow11]

Lowes was better about $109.000

[@scvic2006]

Project Source.... Lowes. Junk.

[@russellhancock9765]

[@Leesherwood]

This ain't no Taj Mahal!
