Clogged Drain

[@geraldinebennett8321]

Well done Donald! Can’t believe you removed all that debris and the guy stood there and denied knowing anything about it! Huge effort, great job, thanks.

[@NYDRAINS]

Thanks Geraldine 👍

[@CoreyStup]

Above and beyond - excellent job! I didn't think the cement would be able to be reomved with just hand tools but you pushed through. This customer owes you a beer and a better excuse of how all that got into the pipes.

[@NYDRAINS]

Lol 😉👍

[@JockoFlocko]

Nice work man, the owner like you said was very lucky he caught that in time. I saw a similar situation years ago where I used to work where two silly buggers tried to dispose of very expensive (at the time) epoxy based paint they were using to re-paint a large metal lathe. They got the mixture all wrong and it wasn't going on very well and looked horrible so they got the bright idea to hide and/or get rid of the "bad batch" by pouring it down the toilet. Well as you probably know when epoxy hits water it goes rock hard and *NOTHING* will remove it. The entire basin part of the toilet was as solid as a rock so their next bright plan of action was to remove the toilet and start hammering at the epoxy with large crow bars on one of the fabrication departments steel benches. In the end they basically ended up shattering the toilet into multiple pieces and all I saw when I came into work the next day was a shattered toilet with two crow bars stuck in it on top of a steel work bench. I pissed myself laughing for the rest of the day.

[@kenthorsen4558]

I guess it's nice to have the owner watching just so they can relay the message to others on what not to flush down the sewer system. Great job again, keep on flushing!

[@MrBrombomb]

Wow ! That’s got to be one of the most difficult & time consuming clogs that I’ve seen you clear. These videos should educate people why you should not flush or put certain things down the drain such as wipes, pads, tampons, or building materials such as spackle, grout, & cement. Lots of cement and scale for the sidewalk but no corn for Ratty in this one.

[@diagowowo1382]

yes

[@MrRhse85]

The guy knew better. He just didn’t care.

A lot of people pour/dump down the drain with there fingers crossed 🤞 😉👍

[@garrettstitt5489]

I love it when you said: _“There’s something hard down here.”_ Yeah, it’s called: despair. 😄 OP, invest in an cordless electric hammer/chisel. It like having a mini Jack hammer. Of course if you don’t use it for the block pipe, reserve it for the blockhead owner.😒

[@Irishguy075]

You deserve double pay for that job, hope this guy gave you a nice tip? Was there a cap on the one side of the trap at all? This guy was definitely lying about what’s been going in his traps? Other guys would’ve away and told him to get a plumber and put another trap. Great job. 👍

[@NYDRAINS]

Not sure, I did notice a covered cap on the top left corner of the pit in the video 🤔 thanks 😉 👍

[@MightyMuffins]

That was one if the more odd things to see. Who the hell pours grout and cement down the drain. I mean that is just stupid. Assuming the home owner wasn't lying, which I doubt, he should be able to civil sue the company he hired for whatever construction project done in the house. Oh and NYD...do you guys replacr traps usually or is that for another company to do? How much would something like that cost and time wise to do? :O

[@johnakaoldguy3158]

Could the upstream pipes corroded/rotted through and the stone come from around the pipe that corroded out? All that scale makes me think the cast iron pipes are in really bad shape.

It's also possible since they're doing construction might have cut or replaced some pipes causing scale as well 🤔
