Clogged Drain #37

[@chadmcmillan1907]

Wow that was a tricky one! I saw spark after you got the head unstuck from the pipe and wall haha. They were throwing massive amounts of grease down that line! Super loaded with all kinds of grease chunks, glad most of it made it down the pipe though. Great job working at a bad angle Donald!

[@NYDRAINS]

Thanks Chad 🙏

[@vincentshaw5914]

Another nice quality job with a clear explanation of how the plumbing drain system works!

[@NYDRAINS]

Glad you enjoyed 👍

[@albertoacosta3701]

Your sewer machine is always clean. Good work man.

[@NYDRAINS]

Thanks 👍

[@stefanschneider3681]

What a terrible angle to work at! Thanks for filming anyway and sharing your struggles with us!

[@NYDRAINS]

My pleasure! Thanks for watching 👍

[@romeoslover817]

35 seconds in... me: where is the health department? Blocked pipe asside , that place is a mess.

[@themcc1879]

These pipes must be connected to the ones cleaned by that Korean channel.

[@GalaxyRangerNiko]

I liked the inventive way he dealt with draining the pipes in one video. He basically used a long plastic chute to contain the mess. Much cleaner!

[@dangda-ww7de]

@@GalaxyRangerNiko I like the plastic bag but i like the mess too, its easy to make money when they see the mess, when i charge 500 to jet a line i want them to see the mess.

Good luck to whoever had to climb back there to clean that up

😎. No one will be back there to clean that up

That was a lot of grease, you did an excellent job.💚💚

[@NYDRAINS]

Thanks 👍

[@brianshawcroft7081]

I hate greasy lines, just finished a 2" into 4" run. The 4" was solid cooking grease. Ugh

[@kuoasify]

i would of slapped them with a big bill after i was done with that why i never throw mine down the drain

[@plumbcrazy375]

Those house traps make you a lot of money

[@Wolfhound.]

for the most part it seems thats about all they do almost

[@nancyhiler7389]

That was a lot of grease but good explanation. Thanks for sharing your videos.

[@NYDRAINS]

Thanks for your support 🙏

[@playmangostingiu2217]

That U shape trap looks like a sure way to create clogging, slowing down the flow of the water and letting deposit of soap and grease to easily forms along the pipes and U trap itself. I wish to ask you whether this kind od aystem is still used in new constructions or is no more implemented, I never seen that in other countries.

[@NYDRAINS]

Yes its still used in New construction over here, its stops a lot of things from coming back into the house, like methane gas, fumes, bad smells, rats, roaches ect.

Great video, thanks. 🙄❤️👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@NYDRAINS]

Thanks again for your support 🙏

[@danachappell3861]

Not too bad of a mess, but man, there's got to be a better way to get rid of grease than flushing it. I was taught at a young age that grease and oil don't belong in the drain, and to take it outside and dispose of it that way.. or you found a container to put it in and put it in the trash as a solid. On another note, Ratty got a wipes coat today from Ollie, and a piece of corn. Was a good day for all!!!

[@Wolfhound.]

and more wipes and more wipes and more wipes and more wipes and more wipes and more wipes and more wipes and more wipes and more wipes and more wipes

[@67andrewbaker]

Why do they insist on flushing grease down the toilet or pouring it down the drain? They should be charged extra for having done it. Another great video 📹 👏 👍

[@NYDRAINS]

Thanks 👍

[@davidnajmon6861]

How old are those buildings?

[@Bobby72501]

Those buildings hve got to b close to 60 to 70yrs old if not older. Them cast iron pipes r showing age and not n a good way either.

[@Fireship1]

That trap was in an awkward place. Good job in steering the snake in there without incident.

[@NYDRAINS]

Definitely awkward, thanks

[@fanplant]

Is that a containment wall for the oil tank and if so is it really for the sewage?

[@NYDRAINS]

It was for the oil tank, just a weird place for the sewers! 🙄👍

[@fanplant]

@@NYDRAINS remember at one time they burnt coal so the sewer was there first.

All the time, but no video of yet.

[@peter15871]

Awkward position to get to, you seemed to struggle getting your flexi cable thing into the u pipe is this to do with that kink in you flexi thing cable not spinning central? Anyway you got the job done as always. nice job great video

[@NYDRAINS]

The kink serves a purpose, it was an awkward position with a wall in front of me. Thanks 👍

[@peter15871]

@@NYDRAINS ok

[@RODALCO2007]

Awkward location, I guess that rusty tank/cylinder was fitted at a later stage to make access for you more difficult. In years to come a lot of those pipes have to be replaced as they will eventually rust through.

[@NYDRAINS]

You sure do go into some tight places but you always make it look easy. That why I love your videos their always so entertaining. 🗽🍎😊✌👍🐀🌽🦃

[@NYDRAINS]

Thanks 😊

[@MrDarexi]

Why didn't you put back the outer cap, just poke the block, and quickly put the inner cap, so the water could drain the pipes and clean it afterwards and put new caps?

[@grahampickering1560]

That basement was so bad, even Ratty wouldn't have set foot in there!

[@timothypirnat3754]

What an awkward working position. If they're a diner, don't they need a grease trap? Good content!

[@NYDRAINS]

Yes it was, they definitely need one! Thanks 👍

[@mr.unknown1386]

I would cut that trap out if it was my house. I don't understand the purpose of having a trap as soon as the main comes in to a house. All fixtures have traps, so what's the purpose for this?

[@SCRUMS-oi5is]

All GOOD

[@GasanovGleb]

Pipes have become smaller in diameter 👍 fat is also there

[@mr.dahliaking.202]

fermented sewer grease is the Most. Disgusting. Smelling. Shit. There. Is. period. I remember I as 16 and I was doing my very first plumbing unclogging job at my at the time girlfriend's grandma place. The lady was sweet and loving, and she was making cookies for a living, and the pipe that went from kitchen to the main stack was a 50 mil cast iron and it got so fucking clogged with solid grease it was impossible to unclog, even with a freakin rotating cutter couldn't break that shit open that I borrowed from a plumbing supply store. It was that bad because of the fact she washed many huge pots and pans covered in grease daily with as little amount of water as possible so she basically drowned the pipes in solid grease log, and she didn't use warm water either, she was saving money. And during the process it splattered and covered everything in grey solid fermented butter grease and it got so bad I vomited once, then twice, then had to go get a breather, and came back and just got all the tools together, promised the lady I will come back next morning and just straight up smash all cast iron pipe away and replace it with pvc and it would be the end of it. Done that, and even installed a bloody 3 inch line to the sink trap so it doesn't clogs as easily. I still remember that smell, sewer grease is the most revolting disgusting thing ever. I would hands down dive into a shit filled pit than do the same thing in a pit of liquid fermented sewage grease. Hands down.

[@NYDRAINS]

It definitely smells worse then 💩 😉👍

[@fnafplayer6447]

Compared to a sausage or roots what does grease smell like exactly, we all know what the sausage smells like, roots smell like earth but what does grease smell like?

[@throttlebottle5906]

beyond the worst thing you've ever smelled in life and then some, although probably not be as bad as a grease trap

[@NYDRAINS]

Grease smells worse than sh!t, very high and stink stench that stays on you and your vehicle all day 🤢🤮🙊

[@GoukiLoki]

That was a lot but not as bad as some I seen where’s Theres CRATERS of grease coming out of the pipes. Good work.

[@fnafplayer6447]

What do you mean craters?

[@NYDRAINS]

Thanks 👍

[@vids2002]

I learned as a child not to flush or pour grease down the drain smdh

[@dock_yard1149]

Or those damn WIPES Or tampons & fem pads People are so ignorant on toilet disposal actions generally. Wrap n bag anything beyond TP, and put in TRASH not bowl, is that so hard to understand. Cities should impose big fines for abusing sewers. Landlords pass on to tenants as rent increases.

[@jefftherailroadenthusiast8889]

Restaurant lines should be jetted not snaked to remove all grease from the pipes.

[@NYDRAINS]

Try tell that to the owner! 🙄 lol 😆

[@GalaxyRangerNiko]

As NY Drains explained- money. They will have to call a plumber back sooner than later because they don't want to spend the money.

[@donnierobertson3088]

Ok

[@cptyler150]

I think that's one of the more gross episode cleaning. The smelly rusty caked on crap on the inside is crazy

[@NYDRAINS]

👍🤢 indeed

[@cWrobe901]

Why does NY require these U traps? Seems like a stupid design that just causes more problems for home owners/business's

[@NYDRAINS]

Its required by code and it does prevent larger objects from getting stuck further down or even in the city sewers.

[@Quadrille763]

I have no interest in doing this job.
