Sewer Drain Clog - Drain Pros Ep. 29

Sewer Drain Clog
In this video we have a first floor handicap bathroom that is backing with with sewer through the shower drain when the toilet is flushed. We pull the toilet in the bathroom to cable out the toilet pipe with our Spartan 300 drain machine to break up stool/toilet paper clog.

it gives me so much satisfaction when i see water going down , plus is time to get paid, awesome video , nice spartan

[@GoldBlueSkies]

Exactly in the process of doing this. Alread removed the toilet, rented the drain cleaner...now trying to watch videos on tips on using this machine.

[@jaybatemen4497]

Put them out of business.

[@kennylo850]

Learning all about this as I’ve come across a clog somewhere in my house 😂 I’ve took apart my dishwasher and bought and new hose for it and that wasn’t even the problem. So now I’m here at this point, taking off my toilet. Can’t lie, it feels good to know how things are done

[@DrainPros]

That’s awesome to hear Kenny! So many DIY things you can take on around your house these days with the help of KZbin 👍 if you every run into a plumbing issue and have a question don’t be afraid to reach out!

[@Cmyers7211]

How do you charge for a job like this ? In general? Thanks really like the content

[@Pops1811]

I removed the toilet in a double wide trailer and there was water clogged but now its just about 1/4 of an inch I've snaked and lubricated with dish soap and hot water (not boiling). Do you think if I put the new toilet on and flushed it I'd be good? Like I said I can see water down in the horizontal pipe but it's barely any,and it's not coming up the pipe anymore just sitting still where the pipe goes horizontal. Any advice would be VERY VERY appreciated

[@RobertThomasCollins]

Thank you for this. I need to rent one of these bad boys tomorrow.

[@jaybatemen4497]

Just get the information and use it, Love KZbin learning. Applaud these surgeons.

I think its hilarious when people click the flashlight on and off, hoping to see whatever it is maybe a little better! 😂

[@MysteryMan404]

Have you tried it

[@charliev8538]

I work for a facilities company, you are very good at this, I would love to have you as our techs

[@sheatheman]

The $400-$600 that plumbers charge for this service isn’t so much for the difficulty of the task, but simply because it is a dirty job.

[@jimboy819]

And it still isn't enough money.

[@MysteryMan404]

It’s a shitty job, what can you say

[@jessebrown1497]

Drive time, insurance

[@Wideout4]

I gotta up my prices

[@07Kimo07]

its a shitty job! in every sense of the word!

[@amjadjaki]

I have same situation now. But my one in basement. Don’t you think I should check with shower drain or snake to shower drain? Shower drain is my lower spot for drainage.

[@iMatti00]

🙋‍♂️ Help/question: can you tell me what I should do if I just found out 15 minutes ago a guest flush a tampon down the toilet at my house? I don’t know if there is a back up or not. Should I flush the toilet multiple times to try to get it to go through the pipes if there is no back up? Or what should I do. I don’t really have money for a plumber.

[@heatherm.8830]

Where can I get me one of those. I use a handheld snake and the water goes down but something is stuck. Then after someone taking a shower it fills back up again.

[@tkswdr]

did you lost the grommet by using that water outlet/ inlet of the toilet?

[@DaIIas]

How are you liking those neoprene wax alternative rings? I like the fact they have bolt alignment holes. We’ll see how they last in years to come I guess like everything else.

[@DrainPros]

Yeah we don’t use them to often because the added price of them but more and more the hospital are putting them in because the toilets need to be pulled so frequently! I haven’t had any problems with leaks on them or anything but like you said will see in the future what the longevity of them will be! 👍

[@nickschwab1063]

I used the green one from Home Depot once. Pulled the toilet a week later and it was water logged. It is a sponge. Do not use this.

[@Anonymous-zd7bj]

@@DrainPros 4 year update, having any leaks with them?

[@nikolaistaley6201]

What kind of camera do you use to record ??

[@kempingerrohrreinigungberlin]

I would also like to have my toilet screwes out so easily😅

[@DrainPros]

Never saw this comment! Every once in a while us plumber get lucky and the bolts don’t fight us tooth and nail 😂

[@Sloggett20]

I have an issue with my toilet downstairs thought it was the toilet replaced it but it’s still acting up. It does the slow drain it fills the bowl all the way up then slowly draines back down very aggravating I had a plumber come out and snake it and he couldn’t find any issues and check the vent at the top of the house and still nothing

[@colthumphrey1713]

Self feed seems nice , my boss says there to slow :/ lol

[@jeninfo2783]

Always buy a new wax ring for toilet. They're only $3 to $10 at the most. Well worth it so you don't have to do it in 2 years with the water coming out from under the toilet rim.

[@MoonkaiYT]

What size is the cable?

[@Wideout4]

5/8

[@llamas8182]

Anyone knows what machine this is? Cable size ?

[@kyushka.]

snake, 50-100 ft, rent it at home depot

[@dsnodgrass4843]

Cable size is about 1/2 inch; strong, but tough to handle if it gets tangled or out of control.

[@tcgdrains]

Spartan 300 5/8 cable

[@nickschwab1063]

don't use that brand toilet ring. It is a sponge. Nothing but problems. Used it and pulled the toilet a week later when running flooring and it was a nasty sponge and really wet around the sponge. I do use the rubber one with wax although and have not had any problems reported yet.

[@Boodieman72]

Handicapped toilets should be of the Japanese style.

[@lar4305]

Just had this done today at my house. They removed the toilet and snaked out about 15 feet till it all opened up. I hope it doesn't clog again , it cost $400 .☹

[@timberland215]

How long were they there for?

[@lar4305]

@@timberland215 maybe 45 min total.

[@amtraktraveler9118]

People use way too much toilet paper. Another problem is the wax ring. with the funnel never use those they cause more back ups and water leaks. just use a regular ring.

[@DrainPros]

Agreed! I would say 9/10 toilet clog calls we get could have never happened with less toilet paper and also less ply toilet paper. Some of the companies are selling such thick paper now a days I consider them dry wipes

[@Straycurrent]

Drain Pros Yes, our toilet paper here in USA is like a bath towel compared to the paper you see in foreign countries. We’ve probably overdone it. Even the nice hotels abroad typically have small rolls of thin flimsy paper. I suspect that more important than the appearance of luxury is the limitations of their piping and treatment facilities. But hey, our luxurious toilet paper leads to great videos of drain cleaning on YT, so it ain’t all bad.

[@tygrahof9268]

I bet you can't guess what I am going to be doing tomorrow!!??? LOL

[@dillindaniel3905]

Plumber charged me 400 to this same thing..smh I’m in the wrong profession..went to Home Depot got the same snake and did it myself for 60 bucks

2 questions… - he charged you but you did it yourself???? - this machine costs $60 ???

That machine and cable is so small. The company here have a much bigger machine with reinforced cables that are bigger than that tiny thing.

That’s a one man 300 machine it’s perfect for the job
