I was laughing when I was editing it 🤣, thanks!!!

Corrugated pipe is crap, sooner or later it’ll collapse or deteriorate. More interested on how you cleaned the dryer vent. Great vid, and love your sense of humor 👍👍

about time to go over to Mom's place, thxs for sharing...

It's been a bit since I took a video over there lol

[@Germ1993]

I’ve been doing drains for years and honestly gotta be very careful in that corrugated piping. It’s so cheap… and most of the time it’s completely packed with mud/roots. Normally I run a camera if possible and see where it’s blocked and dig it up if it’s not deep at all… or give an estimate to run sch40 pvc.. depending on condition of old the old corrugated Good job Homie love your videos have for awhile 🎉

[@thehandymanexperience226]

I love that idea, thank u I appreciate it man!!

[@andrewrose5491]

I bought the cheap Amazon set-up for my pressure washer and sure the hose is junk but for those jobs they work extremely well. My set up is a shutoff instead of the wand I have a commercial jetter hose and tips but the cheaper hose does work for straight lines. A 4 gpm 3500psi pressure washer cuts roots and you'd be surprised all the dirt and roots come floating out of the drain pipe. Just another tool in the box. Plus I could use it for frozen lines if I had too. Would be a pain in the ass in the winter but the money for a frozen drain line opened up is worth it. Every end has the quick connect ends so I can swap from wand to line after the shutoff.

Regarding sluggish bathroom sink drains...old fashion baking soda and vinegar often works great too.

[@thehandymanexperience226]

Good idea!

[@rorysalarms8110]

Good work keep it up.

[@thehandymanexperience226]

Thanks!!!

[@rorysalarms8110]

@@thehandymanexperience226 Your welcome.

[@mikedinnella2680]

Blue monster drain cleaner is great. Another brand is insta-flow that works about the same heat activated

[@thehandymanexperience226]

Which one do u like better?

[@MattHmm-rq6dn]

Yea... I've had a few jobs putting in drainage like that not very fun . When we installed it we can 12x12 papers on top of it like we would to protect a water pipe. Also we put a small section of schedule 80 inside the last 8 feet of the pipe so it couldn't collapse like that. Glad it's fixed but like I always say watch that liability!

[@MattHmm-rq6dn]

Maybe it's time to invest in that drain camera check it out then go from there?

[@thehandymanexperience226]

Yea it's definitely a different animal. I do have a camera but I keep it at home. It's hard to justify using it cus extra time and everyone is trying to penny pinch

[@MattHmm-rq6dn]

I use cheap 50ft az brand snake cams and the $30 to $50 camera dies oh well most of thoes companies will send you at least one replacement in a year minimal risk.

[@ptg01]

Why corrugated for sump pump discharge ? I would do solid PVC

[@thehandymanexperience226]

Lol yea the builders going crazy out here

[@jamesknightreading]

I think you might do better with some ordinary manual drain rods there, Brian. Presumably it's a fairly straight run, so you don't need the flexibility of the spring?

[@andybryant9801]

Is there a river in his basement?

[@thehandymanexperience226]

We had some rains over here. It's crazy over here. Dude was like where ever u see a bunch of green that's where everyone's drain was at . Not gonna lie I think it's a good idea but doesn't look good to the eye by the pond. But that's just me, this was greeeen grass lol

[@webcompanion]

@@thehandymanexperience226 I'm sure outside the fence where that exit point is, there are 300 pound dudes riding exmark mowers over that pipe on a weekly basis. No wonder it is being crushed over in that area.

[@thehandymanexperience226]

@webcompanion yea ur probably right

[@timj1196]

You need a jet nozzle mounted on a pressure washing hose and blast that B out...😅

[@thehandymanexperience226]

Definitely would have made my life easier!!

[@itsmemike1153]

You should never snake corrugated pipe and you should put a pop up at the end of the pipe instead of it just ending in the grass!

[@thehandymanexperience226]

The pop up emitter is a awesome idea, I put it on my sump pump pipe lol it flings water 🌊. How else would I get the clog tho??

[@webcompanion]

I've used pop-up emitters on my own gutter drain lines before and eventually grass grows around them and keeps them shut on you. Also here in Michigan, I don't like turning the 90 degrees upwards if I can help it because it makes it easier for the line to freeze. In those cases drilling a small hole or two at the bottom of the 90 with some pea gravel under it may help a little. Can't do much in a flat yard though.

[@leonardcrisci7254]

I just saw the video and the Minute you mentioned corrugated pipes those are the absolute worst a few episodes of gate city foundation on KZbin and you’ll see why corrugated pipes are no good

[@thehandymanexperience226]

Yea I totally understand, nothing but problems

[@Longeno55]

That black corrugated plastic pipe is worthless. It's not a matter of if , but a matter of when that pipe will collapse and/or become blocked with dirt, leaves and debris. Smooth 4 inch PVC is better suited for exterior drainage.

[@thehandymanexperience226]

Yea this stuff is a pain dude!!

[@Longeno55]

At least it's not a toilet clogged with feces . . .

[@thehandymanexperience226]

Amen 🙏 hahah

[@patrickcowan8701]

Should be solid to drain for sump. Big O 😂 pS still running that sectional dinosaur. Sell it and get a good camera . Good to know what you're dealing with. Work smart not hard. hard.

[@thehandymanexperience226]

Dinosaur 😞 I just got it lol 😆 . R u a drum guy? Is this what it is lol 😆 😂

[@samuelnason8585]

GET OUT OF THERE, that pipe is the worse stuff, you runover it, it collapses, tell him i''ll waste my time somewhere else, anyway, that guy needs to put in new pipe.

[@Wade6242]

Hopefully you got premium $$$ for that work

[@thehandymanexperience226]

It's never enough lol
