COPPER WATER PIPE LEAKING IN BASEMENT WALL - REPAIRED

[@lonewolf744]

Steve , A multi tool is a great tool to have in your arsenal fpr stuff like this. Works great. You can cut cpvc, pvc, and do jobs like this one.

[@caithnessrailrambler2698]

Just turn the water on so we can see the leak Guy. Steven is funny lol!

[@williamdyckman9704]

Steve, you are a master at soldering copper pipe. I would be scared that I would burn the house down !!

[@gregsouls2666]

Just put wet rags down, you'd be fine.

[@paintball130]

HAHAHAHA! i love watching you deal with these nervous nancy types. You have a great way of handling these people. Good fix, thank you for the video

[@Sawpainter_td]

I love when someone shows us how to do everyday repairs!❤ Thanks

[@CommercialGasEngineerVideos]

Real life repairs and experience insight from a phone. How easy is that.

[@tonym6920]

Hey Steve and Miss Molly! Workin’ again ya’ll. 👍👍. Really nice job Steve, in a cramped space!

[@MysticRuler-n4j]

You made a tough job look easy. Nice work.

[@georgesummerlin1602]

The master of all time! STEVE LAV

[@porky7753]

Steven, great work. That romex laying on that pipe was unbelievable.

[@GeorgeKennedy-u4r]

Just turn the water on dammit!! Ya know what I'm sayin?? Gotta love that turbo torch. Nice job Steve.

[@gregspot]

I find CO readings in the stored memory of my CO detectors whenever any plumber soldering is going on. It's not enough to set it off or display it live but I'll find it when I hit the Max button.

[@ClickinChicken]

I've used plate covers in the past 4" electrical box covers, at home, I vice gripped them to joists anyway you can. It's a real deal Momma! Or sheet metal tin.

[@RogueRestorationsLTD]

He can fortune tell by smelling their feet great work

[@killerdemocrate1]

Wow greatness that's amazing .

[@brianmoore5498]

good job

[@johnkosick1464]

Nice job Steve......... he's lucky you were there to "get it done".

[@billi1643]

Good work Steve!

[@danieleminicucci8159]

Good job

[@robertf.601]

You definitely should get an oscillating multi tool very handy. It cuts scapes and sands.

[@zackmax7184]

I listen to Bluegrass and Gospel Music on Sunday Night, and a Friend and I enjoy Your Videos. He has a Yorkie named Qtip that is almost blind. Qtip is The Yorkie's name and He is 12 years old, but Very Loved. I wish that He could still see.

[@philipneri9482]

Have to be a carpenter, too!

[@marks.4388]

Great job Steven!

[@macman1981]

My only question is could the shelf be removed without having to cut it( leaving a cut in the shelf).could it have been removed completely?

[@macman1981]

Maby it wasn’t an option , but I would normally remove existing material in full lengths and put it back as it was. Steve fill me in on this if ya don’t mind, love your vids

[@jamesa6272]

Laughed when you said let’s see if we can do this without burning the place down 😂. So I recently bought 2 “prepared hero” fire blankets made to put over and smother fires. Would be a good thing to carry around with you just incase a small fire starts from the torch or grinding or whatever. It’s reusable also

[@woody95124]

Your good dude..love the way u handle stuff

[@duotronic6451]

Steve is a master with the sawzall. ❤

[@michaelegan8703]

They need to have that romex moved if that shorts out on the pipe it could kill someone when they touch a faucet

[@DAS-Videos]

It is ca-ca-cold out! I think you're going to get an increase in heat calls this week (1/14).

[@JoePJack1]

I love it when Steve the Destructor comes out for a video 😂

[@Greg-mk4xq]

Steve. Thanks for the advice today. I’m the one who called you about the cast iron pipe.

[@Greg-mk4xq]

I’ll definitely let you know if it doesn’t work. Thanks again.

[@evergreen4034]

What was your Q and his A if you don’t mind me asking?

[@agostinodibella9939]

I guess the safest thing is to get rid of most of that old pipe. Who knows how bad the rest of that piece is inside.

[@WhitePerch]

Full service. Nice work

[@holtrussell]

When is it helpful or necessary to use those steam bleeder fittings sometimes featured in Steve’s copper soldering videos?

[@josiahpierson3636]

Usually in the low points where all your water is going to drain to after your pipe has been cut and you don't have all day to wait for everything to drain

[@AStanton1966]

For a ham-and-egger like me, I would of used a Sharkbite union. 😁

[@metallitech]

Good enough for that neighbourhood.

[@scotthill1278]

At least the smoke alarm works.

[@ClickinChicken]

That's the point about Plumbing, What the hell is going on? No leaks mamma (*includes drains and vents). When it's fixed everyone is happy.

[@iamnoone.]

Howdy Steve and Molly

[@EMJE272]

Besides the leaking pipes, That house has a big termite issue

[@DAS-Videos]

What kind of elbow is that, that it fits inside the coupler.

[@gem1967]

Street 90°

[@stevenlavimoniere]

its called a street elbow .. one side is pipe size

[@tjh_8913]

Anybody else clock the termite tubes? 😬

[@superduper6123]

Steve: you have the patience of a saint. Good job.

[@TheBigbass13]

Under the stairs?

[@JohnR9965]

24 min mark what’s crawling on the foundation wall….😂😂

[@karlkruer1179]

Possible termite ??

[@maintenanceman1015]

With years of experience you get Steve a man with a high calibration . Hoping for one of his tractor repair videos , can fix it better than the original .

[@MichiganCustomCraftworksLLC]

Hey Steve, that's a "rippin n tearin " job right there for ya! I mashed the thumbs up 👍 l like the rusty n crusty videos. The more crusty the better, just replace the whole piece.

[@alacran1986]

Is L thickest?

[@rrbigdad]

Steve do you ever work with pex ?

[@Android_Warrior]

I think Pex would have been the way to go on this job.

[@evergreen4034]

@@Android_Warriorwhat makes you say that?

[@Android_Warrior]

@@evergreen4034 : The nature of the tight space and the risk of fire pex would have been safer in my opinion but Steve is good at what he does so for him is no problem.

[@rudolfoization]

if u dont want to come back dont touch it with cold wet rag...let it dry..also..b4 u put that wood back ..why not throw some insulation ?

[@kurtkuipers9473]

I wish it was june twelfth We got 10 below 0 weather here in Chicago. Supposed to get down thirteen bowls zero tonight like crazy weather snow then cold

[@PlumbThumbs]

Check me out!

[@PlumbThumbs]

Illinois here!!

[@japmlp09]

Illinois here

[@deadstiff6486]

just wondering why he did reroute the copper instead of tearing up the cabinet 👀

[@MaMa-qh4dy]

He did not reroute the pipe probably because it would have been exposed above the wood shelf.

[@deadstiff6486]

@@willydavid oh ok thank u

[@williamreitinger8978]

Shitshow

[@thecableguy1128]

Be careful with the jobs like this one. You don’t want any of those wood eating bugs in your pants.

[@RGNHomeSolutions]

Darn pinhole leaks in copper pipe. Too bad there's no perfect pipe. Pex can be chewed on by rodents. PVC get's brittle and cracks, Copper can freeze and get pinhole leaks. Pex in a wire mesh like they use under the sink for supply lines would be interesting.

[@frankrizzo3915]

Nice Fix!

[@RobCarstuff9112]

Steve came to your house PLEASE be agreeable to whatever he says.

[@chrissusong3103]

Geez O pete! Tell those type of people to go lay down and let me fix it! If you want to help, the labor cost will double!

[@Doug_E_Dee]

JFC, is it under the stairs???

[@richardhaney7131]

WHEN I can I replace copper with pvc!

[@lucianoraygoza6645]

😅

[@geraldalfano5581]

Can't see not unsweating the old elbows and replacing. Get rid of four old solder joints and not adding four more joints with the couplings.

[@karlkruer1179]

What about cutting where the leak was and solder a coupler rejoining the same pipe.

[@evergreen4034]

What do you mean? I thought he just cut out the old 90’s and soldered in new ones with a new straight section also? What’s wrong with that?

[@geraldharkness8830]

she`s a leaker!

Ms Molly didn't make the final cut 😆

[@paulmedwell6064]

You're so blunt and basically rude to customers it's embarrassing.😂

He really isn’t believe it or not. ….its New England.

[@paulmedwell6064]

@willydavid I understand, I've always treated my customers with great respect but don't expect everyone else to do likewise. Steve is rough and ready, that's his way. Everyone to they're own.
