Clogged Drain

[@stephaniecheung9874]

wow, you actually cleared the clog from the outlet and prevented the never ending spill onto the floor, good job Donald 👍👍👍

This time, you could actually see the clog from the outside cap that made it easier to pop. Thanks Stephanie 😉 👍

@@NYDRAINS oh I didn’t know that but from what I was looking at it it just looks like a frog you know how to just hide in a hole move real quickly that’s what it looked like to me. But thank you for clearing it up I’ve been wondering about that frog kind of spooky inside a dream he might have super powers if he was real like Superman or Batman ha ha ha ha ha ha ha God bless your brother and your family and your friends and all the viewers around the world that watch you and your channel thank you so very much for your service. ✝️✝️✝️🇺🇸

[@CharlesReiche]

Like you might have seen, they drag a tire through a culvert to clean out the pipe, could you drag something through the trap to try and get out the heavy stuff at the bottom that is hard to get to and doesn't wash out easily?

[@sewerrat7612]

Would get stuck an usr a magnet yo pull out the scale stuck in the center though. Or small jetter to break ot up

[@Knitone1]

How does the soap scoop get in there? So excited to put in too much soap it flies out of your hand and works it way into the pipes?

[@NYDRAINS]

Most likely accidentally dropped in the toilet

[@stefanschneider3681]

Sorry, another comment: Ollie once wrote a long answer to a comment about soap - yes, he does that every once in a while 😉! He explained that oil from the kitchen in combination with something I forgot over time turns into soap. So it doesn't have to be actual soap from washing machine or shower, too much oil down the drains can cause that same problem. Just mentioning ...

[@NYDRAINS]

I just gave the customer a quick, non detailed answer, soap, grease it's pretty much breaks down to the same thing. But you can tell which is which but the color and smell.😉

[@scottvolage1752]

Man, someone bent the shit out of the old pipe wrench trying to get the caps off. LOL Good Job Donald.

[@NYDRAINS]

Lol thanks Scott 👍

[@MightyMuffins]

Measuring cup.....that is actually impressive as hell that even got into the pipe. Also these home owners got lucky you were able to pop the clog from the trap and not have to have the usual poop geyser. :P Actually question for you, how often have you had one of the tools at the tip there break off when doing a job?

[@NYDRAINS]

A hand full of times, remember I'm doing 6-10 jobs a day 5 days a week, so they tend to give way after a few, especially a really ruff job.

[@steveharleyfan]

Urgh, the splatter from that clog was near face-level. Well done for not getting splattered, Don!!!

You can run a sump discharge into your sewer line in NY?

[@rupe53]

probably won't pass inspection these days but likely been there for decades. Everything in that neighborhood goes back to pre WWII era... and I drove through on the way from the airport today.

[@NYDRAINS]

Yes, the sewer is Chest high, and if the plumbing in the basement is lower, it has to he pumped out 😉👍

Seeing you drag that heavy motor down I'm always thinking: Wouldn't a Kempinger-type snake on a drill be something for you? Often you don't need a to go far with the snake ... Keep the the good and hard work up!

[@NYDRAINS]

Sure, but even if the clog is 5 ft away, I still run a good length through the pipes to clean all, not some of the pipes (most of the time, 35-50 ft.)😉 thanks 😊

[@timhull8664]

For a while there, I thought it was going to be an External access unclog, but nope, basement where the drains are..

[@NYDRAINS]

I thought so my self when the owner told me to just snake the outside clean out, and I ran a hose to double check.

[@coopdeville377]

Was that trap cracked in the saddle? I wouldn't have touched the job if that was the case.

[@jd3497]

No. Case iron pipe fittings are poured in a two part sand mold, right and left halves. The line is the mold seam.

nice old stillson pipe wrench in video. clearly an previous owner knew to cleanse the trap and keep it flowing well, before it clogged to the moon and back thrice.

[@Grimmarox]

You got you some new fancy gloves I see!!! That was an extreme amount of soap scum. Anyway to prevent that? So it's like bubble bath soap and body wash. See I find that interesting. Add to the never know if I went on Jeopardy or the Chase!

[@NYDRAINS]

Stay away from the powder stuff, flush once or twice afterwards, lol

[@lorduggae]

that's either some long term build-up or some really hard water.

[@rupe53]

long term build up? Yes... but mostly from cold water washing these days.

[@NYDRAINS]

Maybe a little of both 😉👍

[@ajkleipass]

For a moment it looked like you'd be working outside in the bright sunshine, but it was not to be. Hopefully those weren't live electrical lines near your feet.

They told me to clean it from the outside cleanout, that there was no trap on the inside, after running the hose for a few minutes, I located trap and clog inside.

I have always heard of that called grease buildup vs soap scum

[@NYDRAINS]

It all depends, the orangey brownish color is usually grease which has a strong smell and the soap scum is more white rocky looking and doesn't smell.

I would guess the measuring cup is from some "hair products", frosting/bleaching, etc. dropped into a throne and flushed. or maybe silly kids playing put it there. always an open throne lid/seat and women doing hair care at the sink, then leaving said products cluttered everywhere! tiny sink, that's tall and no space is the fix.
