Happy Labor Day Donald. As usual it’s not much. But, it comes from the heart.

Happy Labor Day Karen! Thanks so much for your support again!🙏 🙏😀

I used to remove the flapper valves, most no longer moved free anymore. Have a good week Donald!

A matter of time till this one goes as well. Same to you David 👍

Donald, I am giving you a like on this one, despite your grievous omission of “this line is going to be under a lot of pressure.” Don’t mess with tradition, please. And thank you, as always, for your videos.

Wow, that's a lot of rust on those caps. Makes me wonder how old they are. Great work as always, Donald. Happy Labour Day! 👷

Don’t see many backflow valves in the wild. Nice job Donald.

Lol, thanks Fire 👍

satisfying as hell ensuring " flowing like a River " when the soap scums removes and when we get a view of running water moving through the pipe. happy labor day brother . rob_ south jers

Great job Donald! You got to the root of the problem. 😊 Happy Labor Day!

[@scottvolage1752]

Before removing the house side cap on the house trap why not run the trap from the outside side of the house trap and keep more of the mess inside the pipe? Keep up the good work man.

[@NYDRAINS]

It puts a lot of stress on the trap, possible yes. I've cracked one or two in my days and would rather not jump the trap unless there in no other way. Thanks 👍

[@mlieser1230]

The customer is also in denial about the bathtub/shower tile situation. It looks like they tacked up a section of swimming pool liner on the wall to hide the peeling tiles. The duct tape around the faucet handle is a nice touch. 🤣🤣

[@NYDRAINS]

Whatever floats their boat 😉

[@Bchulo88]

Thats the neatest, cleanest sewer pit ive ever seen

[@NYDRAINS]

[@doritleis2773]

You have to work. Block from Toilette and Bathtub. Open the Clear Opening and Work with the Twist Drill. A Problem the Return Flap! Then to remove the Drain from Rust and Lime to Adhere. Good Work however. 💪👌

Thanks Dorit 👍

Good video Donald not to bad a clean out this time , screwing check valve back in ( included in 49.95 fee?) nice job and the beast looks good..

[@cheryleking6543]

Hi, First time ive seen a check valve..Wow They really needed that plug thing changed..Its a wonder it didnt fall in..Sorry Im not good with the name of things...lol Stay Safe from your Tasmanian Fan ❤️🙏👍🤗

[@NYDRAINS]

No worries Cheryl, some people call them plugs, or caps 😉

[@MightyMuffins]

That is pretty interesting. I don't think we have seen a check valve yet on the channel here before in al the videos. That was kind of interesting....Still that customer was amusing how they denied not having one. Uhhhh....that should be one of the first things to check especially in the NYC area given how crazy some of the flash flooding has been over the last decade since Sandy.

[@NYDRAINS]

Glad you enjoyed 👍

[@cleopatracatra2097]

[@DeadKoby]

One of those jobs that could have been way worse.......... fortunately they called BEFORE there was massive overflow.

[@NYDRAINS]

😉👍

[@tvelektron]

If this old check valve realy will work in case? If there is backflow becuse of heavy rain or a blocked sewer line on the street there will be a lot of pressure. But it looks to crusty and kind of rotten to me - perhalps the rubber seal eaten by ratty and not replaced for decades...

[@NYDRAINS]

I highly dout it. It doesn't look like it was serviced in years.

[@polarbear1754]

The corrosion of those pipes looks like it would be a problem with catching paper (or God forbid, wipes) Do you ever use a chain head on your "snake" to clean up the rust deposit? Or is it even worth it?

[@pauldurkee4764]

That's a good point, all those sharp rusticles could do with grinding down.

[@NYDRAINS]

I'm trying to get one Polarbear, but a water jetting would clean up nicely as well. It's definitely worth it 👌

[@williamprice3700]

Do you put those knobs on your rubber gloves for better gripping power or are they made that way?

[@NYDRAINS]

They were made that way, link is in the description.

[@FSHerrante]

That non-return valve must not be watertight after... 40? years of sediment, wear and rust.

[@NYDRAINS]

I highly dout it 😉

[@CindyRae]

As rotted as some of the pipes we see, I worry your crowbar will punch a hole right through sometimes.

[@NYDRAINS]

Let's hope not! 🤞

[@marykrauthamel7559]

Are virtually all of your jobs done in basements? Does soap scum come from using powdered soap/detergent, or does liquid detergent cause it somehow?

[@pauldurkee4764]

I very much doubt liquid detergent would be the problem, its the lumps of powder that don't fully dissolve, perhaps they are washing at too low a temperature and the soap powder is not dissolving.

[@NYDRAINS]

Most of them, not all. Powdered soap usually builds up faster than liquid, and water flow plays a big role as well.
