[@wev2344]

Looks you were born in the 90s or 2000s or never repaired or gutted a house? Cast iron and galvanized iron were common unless someone requested copper lines. I haven’t done any plumbing work in 12 years, but back then the newer plumbing started to replace galvanized iron water pipes. Cast iron and galvanized corrode and have yucky stuff in them. Copper has some residue but not like cast iron or galvanized iron. To be honest, I started from the meter and changed out the main waterline, and all the galvanized pipes. I wasn’t getting cancer from a 50 year old house nor blown up. Some idiot installed copper lines instead of approved gas lines. Just by luck, I had to get into the crawl space to investigate a leak and to my surprise, I found copper lines running to each gas line to the four gas heaters in my house. That was a project that I’ll never forget. Since I could do the work after learning from my grandfather how to do it and he was able to do the work as well, the only cost to me was the materials and time fighting spiders, rodents, and other strange insects, and one skunk. I got sprayed by a skunk. Good stories to be told but sadly my grandfather died. He could tell you even more stories about clay pipes and septic tanks and all sorts of plumbing nightmares.

[@tmolusable]

@@wev2344 Even being born in the 90s or 2000s is a terrible excuse! I was born in 92, but the house we bought last year is a 1919. Sure, the pipes *in* the house are all copper, but the main outfeed to the street? Definitely cast iron. It's incredibly common, especially in older homes. Plenty of people think they'll save money by buying those new homes with only copper or pex--that's a joke if I've ever heard one. Construction quality has gone down astronomically in the last hundred years.

Honest feedback: First off huge fan, I've watched virtually every video since Nov. of 2017 (the "On Graham Stephan..." video), all your videos on your KZbin channel profile have a solid red line underneath the thumbnails from one side to the other. I am also a member of the investing course, so thank you for that as well. Love this new style of video and also the fact that you purposely try to give us/viewers new styles of videos when needed, switching it up is refreshing. Some styles I like better than others but still get a ton of value as a student/investor in real estate. Capturing the dirty work as well as the dialogue between subcontractor and the owner is a gem. Lastly, keep those easter eggs in your vids when needed, they always get me. Best, JD

[@TheronGBurrough]

I have no particular need to know the things you share in this video, but I'm glad I do. Your videos are engaging partly because you tell us about the larger picture. For example, the economics of an AirBNB's neighborhood, mentioning that all your financial dealings are recorded at the courthouse, etc. I'm sure most people smile as I do at your family footage. Things have gone south for much of the country and it is cheering to see your boys being so well-raised.

But the last few weeks your videos of you bitching and complaining/picking fights with everyone else were not you, authentic, or real. Seemed completely fake, egotistical and attention seeking. This kind of content is why I subbed. I actually thought if this is another one of those videos I'm unsubscribing. But this is right were you should be. Real information, real experiences, real interactions. This is much more appealing and educational.

[@strategicconsensus]

We had the exact issue with cast iron pipes that your plumber described. There was a section of our new house that had a heated tile floor. Under that floor, cast into the slab, they ran a cast iron sewage pipe. When we had the pipes filmed, because the toilet was backing up, the section of pipe under the heated floor was just gone. Nothing left. The heated floor kept drying out the pipe, and that cycling of wet/dry just ate it up.

[@burnbabybyrne1]

“That’s because the cast iron swells as soon as it dries out ...” Never heard such nonsense. If anything, materials would shrink when drying out. Possibly, the cast iron might accumulate more rust while not in use and this, along with other dried out solids, might swell when wet again. Much more likely, though, is that the surrounding ground, especially if clay, will swell and shrink depending on whether it’s wet or dry, respectively. The result is that cast iron embedded in ground that is swelling and shrinking is likely to crack. Cast iron is hard and brittle with low tensile strength, meaning it will fracture before it bends or distorts ... which is what it would have to do if the surrounding ground is distorting. So, much more likely: leaking / disconnected pipes / connections lead to wet slab and ground, which swell and then shrink when not in use and therefore dry. Swell, shrink, swell, shrink ... -> cracked pipes.

[@TheBostonstapler]

Old cast iron pipes are usually embedded in the soil with cement to prevent this. Dig up an old pipe and its sure to have cement all over it.

[@TheRiddler491]

I imagine that is what he was getting at. As the pipe dries out, and begins to rust from clay soil consistently moving and aerating the pipes, it will expand from rust forming. That's all I could think of, other than that I couldn't find anything on google about it other than rusting.

[@maegankafka4540]

By the sound of how stupid you all sound, I can tell you all have never worked a tool in your lives... The guy was absolutely right. I've dug out more than my share of swollen rusted cast iron pipe from straight up dirt and cement. The oxygen in the air makes the iron rust so it forms layers of rust like a Pillsbury Grands lawyered biscuit, as soon as there is no water in the system, and is not being used on a daily basis. When it is being used the water stops the air from getting up on the surface of the pipe on the inside, it becomes a barrier between the air and the pipe. Just like a p-trap under the sink. Or like when a human lung gets pneumonia... It gets phlegm stuck on the inside walls of the lung like spackle or paste... When the air is breathed in, the oxygen and carbon-dioxide exchange does not happen because the phlegm is in the way. When the air is on the surface of the pipe without continuously being interrupted, the oxidation of the iron pipes is expedited.

[@TheRiddler491]

@@maegankafka4540 Easy there captain fix-it. The original commenter and I both said he was probably referring to rust due to "oxigen" (which goes to show you have never picked up a dictionary before) exposure from lack of use and shifting sediment. The guy in the video said the pipes would swell, but did not say because of rust. While rust does most certainly cause it to swell in size, the way it came off in the video made it sounded like the cast iron pipe itself expands in and of itself without rust. Typically when rust forms it flakes off or is at the very least not much noticed due to small size (such as in a nail), so expansion of an object due to rust forming is not really noticed to people walking around. Cast Iron does not swell if left alone, rust forming on the cast iron causes it to swell. Cast Iron and Rust are two different things, so differentiating between the two is important, which the plumber did not say in the video (Which is fine really, I don't really care, seems like a nice enough dude). To say "Cast iron swells" is not entirely wrong either, heat causes materials to expand, but to cause the catastrophic failure that happened here, would have been a result of rust forming, not the cast iron swelling all by itself . I will admit I am not a plumber, rather a painter by trade. Simply clearing it up would have sufficed well enough, the insults were not needed at least on behalf of my comment speculating on what the plumber meant by the cast iron expanding.

Thanks for the video. It sounded like you had tenants in the property that needed so much repair. If so, I would guess they were displaced during the repairs. Also, I find it funny that people, that don't even own their own home, encourage me to do an AirBnB telling me that I could make SOOO much more money than simply renting my properties month to month. The simple answer is "I don't want to 'buy' a job!" I visit my rentals quarterly and that's enough for me. Actually, one of my "encouragers" told me later and that he significantly overestimated the amount of income that the AirBnB his other friend had was bringing in.

@@Carlos--Claveran Yea, but it wasn't even hooked up and draining out. He's other plumbers should have use a camera and inspected all those pipes...

[@bigpjohnson]

@@Carlos--Claveran Pro-tip: try to buy newer houses that DONT have cast iron drains or galvanized water supplies! Most of those houses are 40+ years old or older. Those iron pipes are usually done for by 50-60 years, its not a matter of if but when they'll start leaking and have to be replaced. Cast iron is brittle and movement and settling of the house will crack it. Moist soil will also corrode the underground lines. I replumbed my house, the 64 year old cast iron was shot in multiple places from the big family that owned it previously. Being vacant for a year was the least of its worries. Budget for new drains and a re-pipe when it comes to houses over 50 years old, it'll need it soon enough.

Hey Kevin, I watch all of your video's and I personally have 6 kids myself and I think it's awesome to include your family as part of your video's. That is what we really live for is our children and family, so my hats off to you for involving them in your video's. Take care

[@masterdate24]

wow, thats something to know on the piping. good video

[@Raynl1978]

I worked as a plumber in Phoenix. Insurance will pay for digging and cutting to access the problem and them repairing the access points and replacing anything damaged in the process(i.e. concrete work, tiles, drywall, any cabinets damaged by water). The owner is responsible for the actual repair. In this case it would have been the cost of the new pipe and the plumber laying the pipe out making the connections

Hey what program do you use to "walk" through your house and how does it work?

[@ThatAverageMTBer]

I think its called matterport

[@patrickkeller2193]

Yeah we have been having a sewage drain issue for a while now. We hired a plumber with a pipe camera. Turns out the city managed to plant a tree on the sidewalk, almost dead center over our sewage pipe and there were more roots going through the pipe than shit.

This style of videos are my favorite. I feel I learn the most. Seeing projects, their problems and successes, or potential buys, seeing how you analyze them, is very entertaining and profitable.

[@Jason-xo1gr]

I really enjoyed this style of video! Was the insurance that covered the claim HOI?

[@rlcarbo]

Are you kidding ... this is a great video. It was not only informative, but also very entertaining. Just as good as what you would see on HGTV or DIY. Amazing!

[@kamenk.6924]

How did you manage the tennats while the repairs are being done? Did you have them just stay somewhere else at your expanse?

[@KC2ATE]

That's what I was wondering. Where did the tenants go?

[@acfixerdude]

Or did insurance cover it?

[@rachaecos]

Idk about where he is but where I live, tenants insurance covers that (it's required for the tenant to pay for tenant insurance)

[@MaxPowerMarketing]

I like this version/style better. It's much more entertaining than just watching you sit in front of monitors (which is still great, for learning) but this kept my attention throughout.

money is made in the buy,,never the sell, great video!

[@kennethanderson8505]

Cast iron does not normally expand. What actually happens is that rust (iron oxide) expands. Rust happens when oxygen combines with the iron. Rust flakes off and the new iron surface is available for new oxygen. Compared with the open air, water does not have mush free oxygen. Thus, when left alone, the water evaporates, and the rate of rusting accelerates because the atmosphere has much more free oxygen. However, cast iron has not been used much in modern times. These cast iron pipes were old and probably near the end of their service life. Leaving the house vacant just fished the job.

[@zacharytbaird]

This style of video is way better! Not that the old was bad, but mixing it up is certainly good. This gives us a better perspective of the day to day and gives a nice glimpse into the actual situation your explaining

[@jnetwork3232]

Hope rob makes it big one day people in that work force are the backbones of all of this!

[@jasonbrown9582]

Great video. One of your better ones in a while. I enjoyed seeing the problems and decisions behind real estate and your venturing into Airbnb. Hope to see more of the day to day decisions and logic that occurs
