Clogged Drain #52

[@Cain-x]

That landlord needs to be investigated - sounds like a slumlord

[@woswasdenni1914]

Health department anyone? I'd sue my landlord if I had that happening

[@blueticecho5690]

Bullshit !! 99% of the time the negligence is cause by the POS late with rent tenant.... Fact..

[@chadmcmillan1907]

Wow that was... crazy. It took forever to unclog that line and that cleanup is going to take forever!! Looks like that extra few feet helped get it. Good job getting it cleared out Donald!

[@NYDRAINS]

It sure was Chad, thanks 👍

[@billjamison2877]

You really should consider raising your prices! I do , indeed, admire you for the service you provide. Stay healthy!

[@Irishguy075]

How could they possibly live there with the smell? The fridge was on top of that probably contaminating the food. Hope they’re no children there. Who knows what else is living under that floor with all that sewerage? At first he said landlord left the caps off but than I think I heard him say the last drain said to leave it off. Hope he showed this to landlord immediately and called the city health inspector. You did an awesome job for them trying with the extra snake, last guy didn’t so he figured just let the basement fill up. Goes without saying but I’m sure you put new caps on!! The best!! 👍

[@NYDRAINS]

Thank you 🙏😉👍

[@woody9052]

That's a real New York State of mind......

[@fly4awhyteguy]

That house should be condemned. 😳

[@Wolfhound.]

imo only way to fix that is to have the house moved and clean under it or maybe someone can scrape all that back and shovel all that out from that hole but im sure it goes a long ways under the house

[@khalilt6508]

I wouldn’t say condemned but it needs some serious sanitation under there

[@Wolfhound.]

cant even imagine that it is healthy living in a house that has that much waste under it

[@caniacstevehenderson7115]

I'm glad no one called the housing or health inspector

[@danachappell3861]

Good job on dropping your rock glove in that nastiness. ... ewww!!!! You have done some nasty ones, but I think this one takes the cake for 2021 already. Health inspector would shut down that house in a hurry. Great job on getting that nasty job done!!!

[@danhutson3460]

Of all the drain repair sites that I have seen, this episode has got to be the worst. That slumlord needs to be taken to court & made to repair everything, plus a big fine. This is horrible!

[@rstmonilr68]

WOW!!

[@eldoradoboy]

never happen.. the landlord prob a slum-lord. the resident doesnt want to lose the house they can afford so they wont report it.. if lucky someone would spray the hose down in that pit but otherwise nothin gets done.. the tenant ends up suffering over stuf like this

[@Happyfacehotwheels]

I have a feeling they're going to put the cover back on put the refrigerator over it and pretend it never happened.

[@NYDRAINS]

😉

[@CHIMNEY7]

Great video thank you. I’m surprised that there hasn’t been an outbreak of typhoid or something similarly nasty from all of that raw sewage under that property, it’s absolutely disgusting and should be condemned.

[@NYDRAINS]

Lol thanks for watching 👍

[@bolts5994]

Jesus.....its like a lumberyard above the clean-out. I thought he was never going to get there.

[@NYDRAINS]

Lol

[@dock_yard1149]

Are you required to report the exposed sewage to the city/county/etc? I would think that a licensed sewer cleaning business has to be a Mandatory Reporter. Seems like a landlord like that won't do a thing unless he gets pressured by authorities. It looked like spliced white telephone wire floating in there along with the ground cable and anchor. Disgusting upkeep.

[@romeoslover817]

Mandated reported to Child Welfare Protection if there are children living in there for sure. I would hesitate.

Bro I work in mental health field and yes totally different job than you. But point is I also for work have to go inside folks home. Sometimes I have to go park and just man up and let it out. Before going home just to keep my sanity. I can only imagine sometimes how you all must feel when you come to a home and you know there's nothing you can do other than the job you came to do. Leaving knowing all you did was put a bandage on there problem. Good work again man. This is sad. I really feel bad😢

Now all they have to do is rip all the floors up. Have someone come in and excavate the 2 tons of sewage and get it back down to clean dirt. New moisture barrier and rebuild the house. Can't imagine how much it will take to make that livable again and how much they WONT do it. My ex-wife had a rental house, the main sewer bell broke in the basement. The 4 families living there dint say a word for months. Until the level in the basement got up to about waist level. I couldn't imagine living with that much deadly methane gas all around and sick everyone must get.
