As a plumbing contractor I would never flood out a finished basement like that just for the fun of it. Sewer water gets under the ceramic tile via grooved trowels and in about 4 months the smell of mold and mildew will be brutal. I have been called back for a sewer smell and when all plumbing was in good order I got permission to pop a tile off and it was black with mold. The insurance company came back and replaced all ceramic tiles.

@@Tara_898 obviously, but what would you have him do if it was your house and you forgot to move it.

Somehow I think that if it was your house, you wouldn’t wonder why he couldn’t move it with his foot a few feet.

Biggest explosion on the channel I’ve seen yet keep up.

[@kimberlymccreary]

Wow that was a geyser...but you I wonder why some people don't move their things out the way. Super cool video 👍✌💗

[@co2tommyboy]

@ Kimberly McCreary. Yeah it often annoys me when I have to do work and people don’t move their stuff that is blatantly in my way. So what do I do? I move it. I instantly saw the dehumidifier sitting right there knowing that it was going to be a geyser of poo water spraying all over it. I was kind of shocked that this drain clearing guy didn’t move it. So if the homeowner doesn’t do it you should do it. This is my first video that I’ve watchedOf his so I’m taken back by the lack of respect for the house. But I don’t know if there was no other way to enter the main drain maybe by an outside clean out? I don’t know.

[@janedoe3880]

Did the homeowner have any idea what was going to happen?

[@HowardTVFan]

I thought the same thing

[@billtheunjust]

I doubt the homeowner knew to expect there to be a geyser and an inch or so of water on the ground. A but rude of the plumber to not move that stuff or ask the customer to move it.

[@andrewkiwi1]

Mum always told me never put grease down the drain. Pour it into a can when it cools put it in the back of the fridge and put it out in the garbage on garbage day. Nice volcano, Thar she blows! There's no other way to do it.

[@NYDRAINS]

Thanks again 👍

[@co2tommyboy]

So I’m guessing that there was no outside clean out? And left you no choice but to knock off the clean out cap inside the house. Otherwise why would you flood the basement with poo water? Also it seems like you should have moved the dehumidifier. I know it’s annoying when homeowners don’t move their stuff but they don’t know what’s about to happen. So when I’m faced Customers crap in my way, I move it. And if I had to do that in a house I would call for large shop vac’s and set up a water perimeter to contain it and then suck it all out with the vacs. But hey that’s just me. But if I made that mess all over the floor I would feel obligated to clean it up no question.

[@janedoe3880]

That's a crime scene cleaners cleanup and a major insurance claim I would have rented a Porta potty and got my insurer in there to mitigate the damages

[@ThqRula]

Thats exactly how I work also I would've been brain storming something to minimize the mess because I would want the same done at my house

[@davidmfass]

Absolutely. If a plumber did that to my basement, I would be furious.

[@zwz.zdenek]

I'm guessing you get what you pay for. This guy is over 10 times cheaper than the competition. No time to take the items away. Plus the tenants tend to leave low-worth items everywhere around the house just waiting for them to be thrown away. Now perhaps it will get thrown away finally.

[@thethufir]

[@shadygunshow]

There is another way. It just takes a lot more manpower and a lot more money. Buy having a wet vac on sight and an extra guy is handy. Having a transfer pump. Letting the sewage leak out slowly and pumping it out with a transfer pump as it comes. These guys are all honestly just lazy and don't really give a shit about the home owners. I don't completely blame them but I know how I would approach it would be with care.

[@jeffjeffjeff]

No other way?? Pumps don't exist? Moving things out of the path of destruction? Heck, some fucking sandbags to contain the flood to just one area?

it wasn't as much a problem years ago, when high flow volume things were used, now everything is low flow blah blah blah. they probably see those magical dishwasher and soap pack ads that say just jam it in the dishwasher dirty and don't worry about it. vs cleaning it into garbage can and hand washing in sink with many gallons of hot water for washing and rinse water running, which would heat the pipe and be enough to flush it through

Many homes don't have any outdoor cleanout and only have the one in the basement like in this example. It depends where in the country or world the home is.
