This is a great profession.

[@rcrxjlb]

Good Vid! I've done plumbing and yes, it's a good trade and there's decent money to be made if you're willing to work in hot or cold conditions. One technical gripe about the vid: that torch tip was way too big for sweating 1/2 inch fittings!...

[@onelove7437]

Is it hard bro

[@cristianmunoz2480]

@@onelove7437 don't listen to this guy.

I am so glad that I chose Usa Plumbing for our clogged sewer line becauce we couldnt use any of the facility and it was getting very stressful and annoying. We got it fixed for a reasonable price, thank you once again for unclogging our sewer line

[@renettaroberts8775]

I have contacted USA plumbing on Friday morning for a leaking food disposal. I could make and appointment with them the same day at 1.00PM. Paul an experienced plumber visited my home and assessed the problem. The food disposal was beyond repair need to replace. He replaced the food disposal on the next business day ( Monday). He is so professional and skilled that he has done this work so smoothly that I am very very satisfied with his work. He changed the disposal and checked several time for any leaking and functioning before leaving. I would love to take service back from Mr Paul and USA plumbing any time I need in future.

Nice video man. I'm a Plumbers helper now. Plumbing can be tricky but it's fun overall. Plumbing gives lots of challenges but I love challenges.

[@JorgeRodriguez-xk6fv]

Shawn Fahey plumbing is very easy. Ive been a master plumber since 2001. Very simple

[@lostcoastlocal7073]

Good job explaining the plumbing trade, guys....great job..Do you ever use Sharkbite system and Pex, and how are your back and knees holding up?

[@scotmacqueen3510]

thanks man good on ya

[@ushaadams8282]

We had a bad office backup. It was right before x-mass and most plumbing companies were off and not taking calls. We found Genmor Plumbing and they came out right away, we cant say thank you enough!

[@vinrod34]

[@JorgeLopez-iv4wh]

I'm starting in February 1 2021 , how do you like it

[@Hawiianlion67]

This is literally me, I’m living my life the same way.

[@KennTollens]

Do you have to tear out a wall to fix someone's pipe, then have to build the wall back?

[@ivanraimi5524]

You could be a plumber!

[@HarrisWaterandSewer]

Nice one!

[@niklasakerhielm6536]

Hi. I have a question. Is it safe to use PVC pipes as drains in the house? Or should you use PP pipe for example? Sincerely

[@southonfishing924]

Niklas Åkerhielm you’ll have to hire a plumber for that lol. This is why they make good money.

[@DonJosesito]

Pvc pipe can be used in dwv systems througout virtually house just check your local plumbing code for your application.

[@blueg3027]

ABS please lol

[@pirate1975]

WAS a great career.... there’s no quality in plumbing anymore, it’s all plastic and pushfit garbage now... bow and go! Learn from a master and do it for YOURSELF or you’ll just break your body, mind, and spirit trying to make someone who probably doesn’t even know you’re name richer. -- retired master after 25years

[@lostcoastlocal7073]

I dont think you used enough purple primer on your drain

[@irenovatedmv]

They put on so much so that it's highly visible for the Inspectors. If the Inspector suspects that a joint was not properly primed, he/she has the authority to make you redo the joint, or worst...fail you. I learned this the hard way...

[@blueg3027]

ya well when inspection comes and they dont see much primer your fucked. Already seen it twice. Always use more primer then required.

[@jamilalmoklef7973]

What I need to do to become a plumber

[@norseman9114]

Apply for an apprenticeship at a labour union

[@rustyshackleford932]

How many hours a week? Is it basically a job where they pay you as you learn?

[@thescribe3184]

It can be...if they have work. I tried joining the union but it aint easy to get in. If you have a relative in the union you'll get in, if not you better have some experience. They say you don't need experience on the UA website but that's a lie. They also make you wait 5 years to get your license but in my state, you only need to do three years...so there's something going on with that.

[@tweakPTCG]

Are u Mario?

[@leecrawford8039]

Do American plumbers not have to work fast they never seen to be rushing to do anything

[@christiancullip4561]

You can work really fast- and then when it's wrong tear it all back out an do it over again, or you can do it right the first time an measure twice cut once and be correct. You'll see when your doing finishing work what you did correct and incorrect...

[@fractalelement857]

am i old with my 29 to get into a plumbing ?

[@DonJosesito]

heat flux Not if you join the union. Know a few guys who are both in their mid 30s starting their apprenticeship.

[@brian2100]

Do you run into a lot of soft poop stoppages

[@RosskillbaneC]

Looks like brazing?

[@wealthyblackman2655]

Art plumbing is the worst plumbing company in Georgia!

wealthy black man George state or country

[@bugembesteven5917]

hiy

[@alfonsorivera8408]

So much welding...

[@jacobgriffith8444]

is that typical?

[@brandothemando7140]

it's called soldering

[@tylerp5839]

I mean, he WAS welding... solvent welding!

[@OmegaXIII]

That is neither soldering or welding. That is called brazing and is used to fuse copper pipes for hot and cold water lines. Welding uses a heated metal rod to fuse steel and iron. Soldering is using lead and flux on circuitry to produce a conductive circuit.
