Clogged Drain #27

[@SL33P-WALK3R]

That's a record amount of scales so far!🤤

[@NYDRAINS]

It sure was a lot!

[@chadmcmillan1907]

Wow that is a LOT of scale!! Cool to see you using the jetter for the first time. Sorta dangerous having it running and have to run inside fast, eh? Haha. Don't have a reel close on hand like Ollie I guess. You using that jetter to remove a heap of scale was impressive. Job very well done Donald! Those pipes will be much healthier after this

[@NYDRAINS]

It would be more convenient, but just use what's provided to me. Thanks Chad 👍

[@Fireship1]

Running a one man show with that jetter isn’t easy! Kudos to you for not letting a clog turn into a shitshow!

[@RODALCO2007]

Lots of scale, a remote control for your jet pressure pump would be great, or a remote shut valve on a reel as Ratty's boss uses. Great video.

[@NYDRAINS]

Thanks again 👍

[@missydee7674]

Omg the homeowner was telling you how to do your job right from the gate! You're such a professional. Again, I wish I could find a great plumber in south jersey. I've had 3 different companies in 8 years I've been in the house and they've told me conflicting advice and info. One said its ok to use acid..the others said absolutely not to. One said I should re-route the whole piping system to the mains but the other 2 said something way different. I could give like 3 other examples. Latest problem was my shower/tub and bathroom sink was very slow draining and one joint (right after an elbow-like turn) in the basement would leak. The guy came in with a plunger, had me plug the sink drain and plug the overflow hole in the sink, he plunged the bathtub drain and it started flowing great! He got a bottle of glue and dabbed it on the WRONG joint in the basement, then said "👍🏻 all good" and left. The bill came and it was $487.00!!! What?! But ok. He was here maybe 15 mins and glued the wrong joint lol. He just used a plunger! I really hate complaining about the cost but that was just a tad ridiculous IMO. I thought 200 tops. But that bill shocked the hell outta me. Obviously I just paid it and didn't complain. It did make me wish I had a man lol. After all it just needed a plunge. Btw I did plunge it but didn't plug the overflow so duh!

[@chillworth]

Why do I love watching drains get cleared? Great video as always!

[@lindathibodeau3197]

Fascinating! It's amazing how we use the bathroom, take showers and wash dishes and never think about what happens to the water and what it does to the drains.

[@flawlousandtanya]

Same here i watch at lease 2 before bed

[@user-fn4ei3dt2p]

I'm always paranoid about the jet, especially when I'm by myself, running into a business that is operating. I'm literally sprinting and people are like are you okay? They don't understand if they get hit with the jet, it's like an internal gunshot wound.

[@NYDRAINS]

I always explain the seriousness of the pressure, so when they see me running, they already know why! 😆

[@geoffjohnson6555]

epic stuff, what a ton of work on this job, that was nuts

You need a set up like what (Drain addict) has that way you can turn the water on and off right beside you.. Stay safe... Gazza

[@boulting1]

Totally agree, Drain addict has a lot better set up. Get quick connectors for your heads as your threads will rust up. 👍

Great job, i liked the 20meter dash and the run up 2 flights of stairs when you started the jetter line up(need a reel like olivers he alwaysh e carries his where ever he goes).Anyway you done a great job getting all that scale and hoovering it out.I think that guy is not a plummer, telling you what to do, i bet ratty knows more lol.

[@garywicker2791]

You should get a remote starter. Good job though.

[@NYDRAINS]

I wish! Thanks 👍

[@zeroheat5787]

Great work Sir. You got a new sub. Beautiful home you worked in. The face is nice but they left all the old plumbing. Surely to be a repeat customer. You earned your keep with this one.

[@HarrisWaterandSewer]

Another great video! At what point do you think it is time for the owner to replace the pipe? How long do you think they can continue to function with a pipe in this condition?

[@CallMeAdam2023]

That guy has more issues then the drains. Look at the bottom corner of that door at 0:44, that was has been absorbing some water for quite awhile. I bet this guy has mold.

[@giovannip919]

How does that build up like that?

[@NYDRAINS]

Time

[@kdmq]

NYC uses a lot of old lead and steel pipes that literally rust from the inside out. Have you ever had a line collapse or break in the ground after you jet it because it was rusted all the way through? My guess is no because the pipes have very thick walls.

[@NYDRAINS]

No

[@jimcraig5208]

It's pretty bad when you have to go back to the rig to turn the water off

[@lorennicholls5901]

That is a lot of scale, I've seen some of Ollie's work and some of the scale was like concrete, awesome video, though 👌

[@VIKTOR-ck3dx]

Iff all that rust comes off , won't the pipes get to thin ( replace of the pipes in a matther of time ) ? Strange , iron pipes. In what country are you , may i ask ? Here in Belguim ( europ) drain pipes are in plastick ( 50 years ago in concrete ) Good job by the way ans relaxing to see thanks ! 👍

[@azmrblack]

Cast iron piping was the standard used in homes up until the 70s, and still is in some places still allowed but a majority of construction and retrofitting since the 70's has been ABS or PVC.

[@joem5332]

Yes all the scale inside of cast iron will eventually start to leak either by a hole or a cracked pipe? It’s amazing going to a job and the cast iron is cracked the length from hub to hub.

[@azmrblack]

I should throw in almost all of the original cast iron installed in homes is at or has exceeded it's design lifetime. Alot of people are going to be facing whole home pipe replacement or relining if possible in the next decade.

[@mieczysawmikoajczyk9321]

today you are really my hero - it is immediately clear that you are trying not to destroy people's property ..... question: maybe it is better to clean this hole of rubbish right away before opening the valves with a hammer?

[@missydee7674]

If you have any good assosiates around south jersey area that you could recommend please...id appreciate it sooo very much. Love your vids and I've learned so much from Drain Addict and Ratty, but probably most helpful is watching your vids since my plumbing is more like those in NY.

[@woswasdenni1914]

finally a proper pipe cleaning wiht a jet not that snake thingy xD seriously every job in NYC should use a jetter given how old the infrastructure is and no landlord give a second fuck about doing things properly.

[@moodyga40]

got the big boy out

[@mdrew44628]

Just an FYI, but that "scale" is the inside of the pipe and seeing how thick it was, it wouldn't be a surprise if the jetting had compromised the pipe.

[@NYDRAINS]

On the 3rd to 2nf floor they had some pipes replaced causing a lot of scale to shake off and get piled up

[@bobross3080]

It's a wonder that there's any pipe left with all that scale.

[@jimmartin7881]

I love when a homeowner says " I think we should" Like they're going to do anything other than get in the way and make dumb remarks! Whenever I hear a customer say "We" I always ask "We who, you and the cat?" It either gets a laugh and the point across or a sneer and some mumbling. But at the end of the day they always have a smile because there ain't shit backing up all over their floor anymore. You work on the island too?

wax ring was too thin for the sunken flange height. clearly they tiled after and around the flange.

[@night7505]

i was gonna dispute your comment until i went back to look at the footage an seen the lack of impressions on the wax from the bowl but question do they make a taller wax? I thought it was all standard. The flange didn't look sunken as much as the toilet was sitting ontop all that caulk or whatever that filler was. i bet NY Drains could tell us.
