Clogged Drain #62

[@jenetikitty]

I"ve watched... a lot of drain videos, this one was the most nerve wracking one I've ever seen. MAN, you went above and beyond and to the stars. my favorite part was at about 16:13 where you can practically hear the prayers going up for the drain to not overflow lol

[@NYDRAINS]

Lol thanks, glad you enjoyed 👍

[@havaham]

I genuinely felt panic for you there when the lions broke free, what a ride! Great work!

[@NYDRAINS]

Thanks 👍

[@hempseedaddict]

Appreciate how much you tried not to make a mess

[@NYDRAINS]

Thanks 👍

[@jeffreyyoung1196]

Bravo, you went above and beyond to contain the mess.....not an easy job at all...

[@NYDRAINS]

Thanks 👍

[@cblanton42]

7:35 Wow! My man goes in for HAND-TO-HAND COMBAT!! (And that hammer totally took one for the team) ... I'd say R.I.P. but I know you're still using him. Once again, another great video!

[@NYDRAINS]

Lol thanks again 👍

Stubbornly satisfying!👍😎🤙🏼

[@RODALCO2007]

Nice sludgy pooh, didn't want to move. great fix and two new caps at the end. happy New Year. NZ is now 00.54h at 1 Janu 2023.

Happy New Year's 🥳

[@TumarinukiOuji]

Hello from japan! Thank you for the comment on our KZbin channel! it was a lot of scale to catch. Great job again! So much paper and poop… See you on next youtube!

[@NYDRAINS]

Anytime 😊 thank you 👍

[@vincentshaw5914]

Nice job! Excellent on the clean up

[@NYDRAINS]

Thanks 👍

[@coopdeville377]

Donald, you went above the mark to keep the mess to a minimum. You even took the time to bag up the mess and shop-vac the area. I'm guessing this was a really nice elderly couple who you empathized with not being able to clean up the mess.

[@NYDRAINS]

Some people are just really nice to deal with Coop 😉👍

[@johnfahey7215]

man, I couldn’t believe how much paper!🧐 they must wipe 8 times a dump!

[@NYDRAINS]

Lol

[@roxanneabbott8424]

Great job on this messy one!!

[@NYDRAINS]

Definitely 👍

[@danachappell3861]

First time I remember seeing toilet paper so thick that it clogged the pipes up solid. Maybe they should try to use less? Or switch. Whatever works to make it better. Hope you have a wonderful week!!!

[@NYDRAINS]

Thanks again 👍

[@bryannolte4910]

What a great job and doing the cleanup! Very impressive! Not being obligated to "clean up the leftovers" but going that extra mile is very kind! Until the next video, Namaste! 😀👀🏳️‍🌈

[@NYDRAINS]

Thanks for watching 👍

[@reidselby2569]

Another unwritten law of plumbing: The neater you try to be, the messier it gets !

[@NYDRAINS]

Lol

[@nancyhiler7389]

That looked to be a big job. Thanks for sharing

[@zalmaflash]

I think it's time to raise the price. This one was worth more.

[@GalaxyRangerNiko]

Yes!!! I've had plumbers charge for an ESTIMATE on repairing a stack pipe. If it's a simple clog that you can clear in fifteen minutes, sure, your price is reasonable but how much time are you spending in the van getting to the job site and how much time are you spending on clearing these drains? Don't under value your work! :)

[@vids2002]

Work STARTS at that price lol

[@NYDRAINS]

What vids2002 said! Lol

[@BaconJD420]

My company charges $550 to clear a main line, flat rate

[@jkdsteve2465]

Best thing to do if you’re the home owner- DON’T flush any toilet paper at all. Just place any paper or wipes into a swinging trash pail & simply bag it. Just flush natural waste #1 & #2 only. You’ll save yourself a lot of grief in the long run. Especially, with older pipes with scales inside, chances are that toilet paper will eventually cling into them & eventually will cause a blockage as more paper clings into it . Also, wipes are the worst thing to flush. Don’t believe the package saying “flushable “, it’s flushable but will NEVER break down. Also, it’s good practice to treat your sewer line with some liquid draino to help break down grease by the U Trap overnight. Just some simple practices.....

[@archymarchy]

Imagine caps like that here in Chicago lol. The whole cast pipe would crack before the cap come loose lol

[@danhutson3460]

Use a wrench to get caps off.

[@NYDRAINS]

Lol

[@davidortiza.k.aknucklest.e1659]

This one looked like a real tough one but you still got the job done like always! 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽

[@NYDRAINS]

👍😎

[@mbourd25]

Note to self, no more Charmin extra strong toilet paper.

[@NYDRAINS]

Definitely 😆

[@nicoleherreros5278]

Nice job awesome a little satisfying to me lol

[@NYDRAINS]

Thanks, glad you enjoyed 👍

[@robburdack4361]

ya really can see why the jet works so much better pulverizing liquefying and pushing the sludge down line ! shame it cant be used in every place

[@gaylespencer6188]

I watched sewer cleaning videos from the UK and Australia. The use of those jetters is quite common; they seem to be the clearing tool of choice. Do you use them? Your competitors? One advantage, it strikes me, is that they provide a fair amount of water which will then liquidate blockages. Your cutting tool is of course good for roots.

[@NYDRAINS]

Yes, check my Playlist for a few videos, it cost more then snaking and not everyone leans towards that option unless needed.

[@24maggz]

This video had me all over the place lol so sorry for laughing 😬 what a mess! Great video!!

[@NYDRAINS]

No worries, I was cracking up myself lol 😆😂🤣 thanks again 👍😄

16:48 what is all of that steam coming out of the pipe ?

[@lorennicholls5901]

Either the hot water steam or sewer gasses

[@NYDRAINS]

Hot water 💧 🔥

Oh my gosh, what a nightmare! 🧻🧻 ! Did that customer identify and take ownership of the wrong toilet paper 🧻! Another great video! 🧻🔦😊👍🧤💩

[@NYDRAINS]

Thanks 👍 and yes they did!

[@peter15871]

Done another top job ,that was a difficult clog to shift . Great job though you persivered till all in the pipe was moving,trying your best for the customer,not to make too much mess . then you went the extra mile to aquavax all the water in the work area . Customer sounded well happy ......

[@NYDRAINS]

Thanks 👍, he definitely was.

[@rebel3353]

with these i'd see if i could get a garden hose down there to spray down the part that goes out to the city, might be a bit easier lol

[@NYDRAINS]

Customer didn't have one long enough to reach in the basement.

[@kimberlymccreary]

Wow that was one stuffed pipe but you always get it, I never doubt you ever 🗽🍎🔨😊 no corn poor Ratty 🐀🌽✌

[@lorennicholls5901]

That was a lot of paper,that's why I don't use Charmin toilet paper 😅

[@Doing_it_right_the_first_time]

17:26 should’ve used the wet vac and put that suction right into the pipe and sucked that stuff out, that is what I would’ve done. Other than that, good job, Donald!

[@NYDRAINS]

Thanks Lw

[@TheCaptainLulz]

That shop-vac would have saved you time and mess earlier on..

[@NYDRAINS]

Not really, it would have removed the water also from the line that I needed to clear the clog.

[@ajkleipass]

The drain is higher than the basement floor?! Must make floods LOADS of fun to clean up!

[@NYDRAINS]

Lol

[@dazza86123]

Would the vacuum not of worked to get all the clogged paper out the pipe?

[@NYDRAINS]

Yes but also the water 💧which I needed to clear the clog. There was tons of paper in the line which the vac wouldn't have reached.

[@andresmoerland9806]

That was a nice messy one!

[@NYDRAINS]

For sure.

[@Fireship1]

Bounty may be the quicker picker upper, but it’s not such a good idea to use it for bathroom duty!

[@mmchefone]

Nice job 18:45

[@NYDRAINS]

Thanks 👍

[@Riv_Longsnoot]

I’m curious, why do you hammer the caps off? They look like they’re threaded, can’t you unscrew them?

[@NYDRAINS]

You can do both, much easier to tap on tap off.

[@buzydebb]

You mentioned not using Charmin. Could you explain what is bad about that brand...........since that is what I use...........

[@NYDRAINS]

A couple of brands as those are too thick and doesn't break down as fast enough Ike the one ply stuff which can cause a clog if used in large amounts.

[@roohiggins7997]

Didn't like the rotating claw but for cast iron and for old drains I now understand, and jet in some areas sheesh mega spray. Scotland its plunger or jet.

[@markbaker1969]

Why don't you ever use a wrench to remove caps?

[@NYDRAINS]

Cause most technicians in this field usually taps the caps in so it would be pointless to do that. And it's a lot easier in tight spaces.

[@douglasbright739]

use a shop vac

[@NYDRAINS]

Then it would have removed the water that I needed to clear the clog as well!

[@ismailelmerabet473]

Why are those things on your gloves ?

[@GalaxyRangerNiko]

For gripping the snake line as it's rotating in the pipe.

[@NYDRAINS]

What galaxy said! Lol

[@ldiazmdiaz]

Maybe a blower to push that out with air.…Why not use aluminum caps.

[@vids2002]

Wouldn't those be too soft?

[@NYDRAINS]

Do you mean brass?

[@katk320]

What the heck do you keep pointing at ??????

[@NYDRAINS]

Sense of direction, when I start pulling the cables back, for the viewer's of course. 👈

[@ljevans5993]

The smart money would have been to take the time to hook-up a garden hose to flush down the out-put. But these low dollar drain- cleaners have neither the extra time or materials to do the job properly. But what can you really expect for 49.95 cleaning !

He knows who Ollie is, he's referenced Ratty in the past. To use the jetter is not always convenient in NYC. It also costs more. What this guy needs is to jet his pipes on a regular basis to prevent more backups like this one.

[@suzukialto4488]

Having viewed god knows how many of your videoclips, i still can't believe there is no better tool available than a fu**i*g hammer to remove these plugs. They are designed in such a way that suggests (to me) perhaps an adjustable wrench or some other type of tool could be used to remove them?

[@MrJDNJ]

I've been tempted to make this exact same comment. Using a hammer risks damaging the pipe. I would say the correct size square socket (1"?) with a long extension bar (2-3 ft) as a handle would allow someone to rock the cap back and forth to remove. Seems using that kind of leverage would be so much easier especially for hard to reach/underwater situations. He may want to bring along some simple kitchen tools (wisk, ladle, slotted spoon) to clear out the traps instead of the hammer handle.

[@mladensofrenovic4860]
