Soap manufacturers are not complaining, use more please!. Modern powders, and liquids are so more efficient now. Nicely done Donald.

[@lorduggae]

it's not just the soap though. New York, all of the state, has some fairly hard water. The combo of the 2 is what makes it really bad

[@NYDRAINS]

Lol, thanks John 👍

I really feel sorry for so many of these people, especially when the basement has a nice floor like this one. It'll never be the same again. But, well done on clearing the mega soap scum blockage out of that one Donald. And thanks again for the trip around the neighbourhood, nice weather and looks a nice area.

That hard 90 elbow after the trap is hilarious. Still, it drains better than some we’ve seen! Nice work Donald.

[@NYDRAINS]

That had to be one deep city sewer! 😆 Thanks Fire 👍

[@throttlebottle5906]

looked like new PVC on both sides of the stupid cast iron trap. gee why did all the crud get stuck mainly at the trap and just ahead of it? cold spot with choked flow!

[@mlieser1230]

Looks like Junior is going to have his hands full cleaning up his bachelor pad in Mom's basement. He's going to need more than a vacuum to clean up that mess. He'll have that trap clogged up in no time flat with the amount of soap needed to decontaminate the area. 🤣🤣

[@eldoradoboy]

3 years? dang thats a lot of showers in 3 years to do that or some really cheap soap

[@jd3497]

Might be a combination of hard water and too much powdered laundry detergent like: Foca; Ariel; Roma. A good habit would be cleaning the house side of the trap every month,

These older systems need a sink full of hot water (once a week?) to get them going again!

[@CubbyTech]

Sadly no. Once soap scum dries, it must be removed by tool or hand.

[@NYDRAINS]

Don't think that would make a dent.

[@wkk9925]

They used too much detergent/shampoo and cooking oil ⚠️

[@NYDRAINS]

Thanks for watching Dorit 😉👍

[@garrettstitt5489]

What builds up soapscum to that level where it becomes a mass big enough to block pipes? Is it certain cleaning products used, or what?

[@NYDRAINS]

The last person couldn't bring in a big machine due to the lack of clearance and used a flush bag in all of the drains to clear the last clog and most likely just popped a small hole big enough that the water went down for the moment 😳 😕 🤦‍♂️

[@peter15871]

That went easier just old soap scum nothing else blocking it then, good job as usual Donald nice one ,in the rich area again by the look's of it..

[@NYDRAINS]

Thanks again Peter, it was one of the nicer ones 😉👍

[@bert7039]

At least the builder didn't screw you with the placement of the trap, which seems is often the case🤨.

[@NYDRAINS]

😉👍

[@Laurelsyoutube]

What kind of soap is he using that causes this? Then we can avoid busting it😊 thanks Donald 🥰🙏

[@NYDRAINS]

Powdered soap usually builds up faster than liquid Laurel 😉👍

[@RODALCO2007]

Great unblock Donald. These basement apartments are not ideal to live in when a plumbing blockage occurs. Not good for the laminate floor to get sewer soaked.

[@NYDRAINS]

Thanks Rodal 👍

Not really, just regular maintenance should do the trick Kimberly, thanks again for your continuous support 🙏👍

[@MightyMuffins]

Not gonna lie....that is one of the weirdest floor drain spots i have seen so far. Right in the middle of the nice wood floors. Also THAT MUCH soap scum built up over 2 years?! HOW THE HELL DID STUFF PASS THROUGH THAT?!!

Another basement bogline blockage. This time the sewer access is in his bedroom😮

[@Happyfacehotwheels]

Does anyone know what's the purpose of that trap, and do you need them? Is this an old technology that was needed at the time? Sinks, tubs, and toilets have their own traps, and here in NJ, we don't have them.

[@NYDRAINS]

The trap is Code in NY it prevents gas and bugs/rodents from coming back into the house, although each drain, sink, etc. has their own as well.

[@laurapaine9134]

Well done Don! Another great unblock! Lovely scenery driving too. 😁👍

[@maxpower2511]

Why would they put PVC on both ends but leave the original trap? Is it code that the trap cannot be pvc?

[@briancrandall1601]

A CI no hub house fits better than trying to make one out of PVC fittings and needing short pieces of PVC pipe on the house and street side of the trap.

[@NYDRAINS]

I've seen PVC traps in the past, so I doubt it

[@briancrandall1601]

@@NYDRAINS For this installation there was not a lot of room for a PVC house trap but it would work in most installations and is a lot cheaper than a no hub CI house trap too.

Grease is the word

Pretty much boils down to the same thing, but grease has a more orangey color and pungent smell to it, as to soap scum which is more white colored without a scent.

[@cblanton42]

That's extremely heavy buildup of soap scum, is this from using powder washing detergent? I would think liquid soaps and detergents wouldn't do this as bad, but I don't know.

[@rupe53]

using soap powder and cold water will do that.

[@NYDRAINS]

The powdered soap usually builds up faster than liquid.

Man, first a dramatic episode of DA, then an awesome new video from NYD? This week is awesome. It looks like the buildup was caused by slight back pitch where plastic meets cast iron before the trap. Nice work!
