@@NYDRAINS ha , a UK Bank Holiday is the same as a public holiday in North America. Basically, the banks, businesses (and GOV offices) are closed hence the name. Mostly a DIY day or family day, even a BBQ if the weather is nice.

[@RODALCO2007]

There was some good pressure under that cap.

[@NYDRAINS]

Oh yeah 🤯

[@MightyMuffins]

Been a good bit since we have seen a line with THAT much pressure backed up in it but that likely as coming from nearly all the lines to get that much water. Tell you one thing, them having to clean out that sump pump catch basin is not gonna be a fun experience. :P That's gonna be a smelly mess.

[@polarbear1754]

That setup for the sump pump discharge is not legal in my country. The line must never join a sewage line, but be discharged directly out side. Super job, Donald

[@Doing_it_right_the_first_time]

And which country is that that I should never ever go to if you’re discharging to the public air?! People are stupid, they put all sorts of stuff down drains, including chemicals so which country is that again?? 🤔🤨🧐

[@rupe53]

not legal in most of the USA either (now) but most older systems are allowed to stay as is.

[@FixitFrank]

@@Doing_it_right_the_first_time sump pumps are for ground water and rain water leaks. Not for sewage. It makes total sense that you cant tie them into sewer lines.

[@tvelektron]

In my country (Austria/Europe) it is completely ilegal to dump any sewer water outside. Everything hat to go to sewage treatment plant by law, (almost) without exception. Even a septic system is absolutely illegal - we have to build a "real" 3 chamber sewage treatment plant or a sealed collecting pit that has to be emptied at short intervals if there is no public sewer around...

I’m a plumber in Texas and what is the purpose of the trap ( building trap) in the main line? Now I get the back water valves or checks in the main line, we do that down here .

[@NYDRAINS]

Its code, plus it prevents methane gas, rats, and bugs from coming back into the house and prevents larger clogs/objects from traveling further down the line.

[@snoopyrules]

Nice job Donald 👍🥰🙏

[@NYDRAINS]

Thanks Laura 👍

[@bostedtap8399]

Thar she Blows. Should the sump pump outlet be connected to the other side of the trap? Thanks for sharing

[@NYDRAINS]

Usually, the traps need to be free and open for maintenance, not occupied with a sum pump or washing machine hose that you typically would see.

[@fnafplayer6447]

That gush was even bigger than that one you did last year outside when I joked it would have looked like you struck oil of it wasn't for the cover. How does a pipe get under that much pressure?

I may have asked this before but have you ever been back to a place that had wipes as the big issue and they denied but you get another call 6 mths later you get a call with the same issue. Also using the fluffy tissue paper causing havoc.

[@NYDRAINS]

All the time!

[@fluminesesoc]

Why was there a lightbulb in there? Lol 😂

[@eldoradoboy]

that run along the crawl space is just waiting to clog.. im guessing paper and sewage built up in that line then got pushed as a glob down to the main trap area and shut the whole house down.. you can see that uphill area.. wonder what the deal is with that just laying on the crawl space floor..

[@NYDRAINS]

🤷‍♂️😉👍

[@thund3rw1ngl30n]

Hey, NYDRAINS? I’m thinking You won’t see this, but if getting a new camera would fix this please get one (if you can of course)! My problem is that whenever the pipe unclogs and bursts, the quality around the burst is weird and turns into squares. If you pause during it happens you can see what I mean. Thanks!

[@NYDRAINS]

Hey, I usually use a Gopro12, but on this particular day in question I was using my 2nd camera the GoPro8 which both are recording in 4K, because i accidently drop the camera and cracked the lens, so I'm not sure because it looks crystal clear on my end. 🤷‍♂️

I do Tim, but in this case, they had a sum pump connected to the outline.

Can u pull a toilet and hit it that way with that house trap?

[@NYDRAINS]

I did on the second floor In the beginning because that was the initial clog. Unfortunately, an hour later got a phone call . The 1st fl was now clogged, and the customer was not paying for a remove n reset again! Plus, it was a long run and wouldn't get down in the trap.

[@drainjunkies]

@@NYDRAINS I always wondered if u can clear a house trap from an another floor toilet flange lol good work man . Keep the videos coming bro thanks for the response

[@NYDRAINS]

@drainjunkies np, honestly, it's too far away. It's possible, but if the clog is deep in the trap, it's not happening.

[@drainjunkies]

@@NYDRAINS yeah definitely makes sense. I always run the line from a clean out of possible. But some homes in Baltimore don’t have any cleanouts in the home anymore. The easiest jobs are ones I can hit from a clean out in the yard holding water and never have to go inside lol

So you couldn't have taken the lid off the other side and cleared the blockage from that side. I think you just like making a mess for the videos.

[@bmichael103]

He would've had to dismantle the pump in order to do that....

[@fatman3785]

that was my thought. Take off the small rubber hose connecting the sump, pop the outlet cap and slowly break the blockage.

[@Doing_it_right_the_first_time]

@@fatman3785 I have to be in the defense of Donald on this one like I usually am because I do the same thing that he does and when there is that kind of pressure and a small thin wall of soap scum and grease and other stuff that’s holding it in, there is no such thing as a “slow release“! It’s still under pressure and it’s still going to pop with velocity! It wasn’t like there was a check valve on the other side and the only thing we could’ve done was pump it afterward that was not the case in this situation where it could be that way. For you folks have never done this kind of work you should not be “Monday morning quarterbacks“ Edward H. - “Integrity Plumbing, Septic and Drain“ out of the Clinton, CT USA area.
