Last week I thought I smelled gas. I got one of those gas leak detectors from Amazon, and it showed me a union that was barely leaking. I called a plumber to look at it, but they wouldn’t come over until the gas company checked it out first. The guy from the gas company was great. He was able to tighten the union and stop the leak. I didn’t have to pay a plumber now! I offered the gas company guy some money, but he refused.

[@baratono]

Wow! We could have been reading about this one on the news. Wild that she just got a gas detector.

[@PSB-900]

She was lucky, damn lucky! Great work Steve!

Steve i love your attitude. Im an electrician in the northeast and you always gotta walk on eggshells with customers, and i hate it. I love how you go in and just run the customer so you can get the job done.

[@ridethepace6005]

Usually, the women smell gas way better than the men. When a wife tells me she's smelling gas, and the husband says she's nuts, I listen to her. Usually find something.

Usually the wife smells gas and it's the husband! 😅😅

[@bartomand3681]

should have kept the old pipe, added some fresh paint to it, hung it back up for the gal to use to hang her clothes, to keep her crap off the new pipe. Steve is laying pipe Mamma!

[@deanguando1335]

I knew once the inspector was coming that you were going to have to change all of yhat galvanized pipe & fittings. Nice job.

[@MrJujubean]

He would have had to replace all that galvanized regardless of inspector ot not or he could be responsible for future gas leaks if he would have tied into the galvanized

[@kenpgh]

Wow shes lucky that her house didnt blow up sky high , at least now its upgraded and cleaned up with the pipes tucked up in the rafters - nice job steve 👍🇺🇸

[@superduper6123]

Old school plumbing. Love it. No shark bites or propress here.

[@sonacphotos]

Ill get behind you about sharkbites, none of those for me. Propress is just fine though. It's like any plumbing really, install it wrong and you'll have problems. It's a learned skill to do it properly. I've personally not had a need to touch it though, it's expensive for just a home owner.

[@Rusty-Metal]

Sharkbites are not progress. Issues waiting to happen. Great for callbacks.

[@pb7379-j2k]

@@Rusty-Metalyes there has never been a callback before sharkbites existed

[@mydogpeaches1]

i did some updating to our house now 5 years ago and in the process i found out that our incoming gas supply piping was severely under sized it was very interesting learning about how you size the pipe for the amount of gas the appliance will consume as well as learning about the 2 pound system with the regulators and learning all this from a master Plumber that I’ve known for my whole life was a huge privilege

[@johno9163]

Half the fun is listening to what Steve is muttering during the job...We have all been there!

[@johnphillipsplumbing7148]

[@rayvoorhies7180]

Steve did a good job. It's been awhile since he posted any big gas piping jobs. He posted a lot of gas jobs when the channel first started.

[@ntsecrets]

My father found out he lost his sense of smell when he had a tenant in his office building say they had a gas leak. He bought a gas detector.

[@frankm496]

Nice gas test. Sparks flying everywhere with no ignition, no liftoff. Momma no gas in those lines. Dead canary (or grandma) in the bell free though. Crazy stuff. Great work Steve Lav

Steve, thanks for the video. Unbelievable is right!! This is one of the best videos you've made. Good work.

[@ClickinChicken]

When I plumber says WOW, it means somethin! Steve quote. She sounds really sharp. I had an issue like this at work. I told boss lady there was a dilute 'mercaptan', smell from back of chicken fryer, she didn't listen. They called the Fire Department, and the dummies said it was under the skillet do dab, but they later found out it was the connection to the fryer. I knew it all along! Anyway, Listen to the little guy sometimes! the nose knows! ha!

[@ridethepace6005]

I've seen this in many basements. I know the people don't listen when you advise them to remove the clothes, so I've even thrown in a few free banghangers for people when I'm just there to change their meter.

[@kirbyyasha]

I love how this guy talks.

Steve! I always enjoy watching you doing old school pipe reminds me of my young days watching my uncle Carl!

[@Chris_In_Texas]

My mom did the exact same thing, putting clothes on every pipe in the basement, gas, water, electical cables, it didn't matter, I told her the same thing! At least most of them were on water lines, so it was just a flood waiting to happen as well! 🤦‍♂🤷‍♂

[@pb7379-j2k]

Here in New Jersey the gas company upgraded our gas main and they moved my meter from the basement to outside. All new piping was galvanized.

[@AlexanderWaylon]

Clean job. Very impressive.

[@kylebass4635]

I remember her. Husband did not leave his retirement to go to her after he died. She was worried about the furnace repair bill. That bill was pennies compared to what this is going to be. Going through bankruptcy. I hope Steve cashes that check really fast.

[@shupe1907]

Can you imagine the bill on this one?

[@Sentra1985]

Yup, I remember that voice 😮

[@force311999]

you should cap the oil tank fill pipe so they don,t fill her basement with oil by mistake ,I am sure that tank is leaking by now if it is abandoned as long as the age of that furnace

[@OnusofStrife]

Good work! You may complain a bunch. But, you sure do care about doing the right thing for your customers. I know they appreciate it!

[@Klobbrax]

More pipework in that basement than in the Titanic engine room.

[@mattkowal90]

My maternal grandparents and I nearly succumbed to a natural gas leak in their house in 2001. Cause of the leak was the mercury diaphragm in the meter (which was inside) ruptured overnight and filled up the ENTIRE place. Called the fire department, and their CO and gas monitors went off 15 feet from the front door, literally chooching Momma! They said if the house exploded, the whole block would have been gone, but luckily none of us suffered any aftereffects. Same day, the gas company put a new meter (this time outside) in, and a leak test was done to which it passed that day. June 28th, 2001, in Wantagh, NY, a day I'll never forget.

[@OnusofStrife]

Explains why I never see inside meters anymore. My house used to have one, before I owned it, but it got moved outside when the lines were replaced on the street, and the supply line was moved.

[@christopherhulse8385]

Scary and lucky at the same time.

[@chrismallory3718]

​@OnusofStrife it is accessible, also I'd someone decides not to pay the bill its alot easier to shut it off vs the headache of getting inside

[@pedrovalet1506]

Real plumbing works.

[@theodorgiosan2570]

​@@OnusofStrifeI still have an inside meter to this day but only because I am getting rid of gas to go to oil. Don't want the gas company to ruin my 200+ year old, 5 foot wide stone foundation and I don't like having gas anyways. I like oil better and the price difference isn't worth it for me.
