[@dennispetrovic8466]

see, most plumbers are honest. He is one of them. Explains everything.

[@edswider9309]

Steve you use dope on those compression joints number one I have been doing it for 40 years on all comp And unions too

[@kevindowling9270]

Wow nice work Steve your a very good patient man mate

[@05redbelly]

Thanks for the idea. Help out tons with my bathroom faucet 👍🏽

[@williamdyckman9704]

Steve, admire your patience. Good trouble shooting on your part. Great video! Thanks !

[@tjmmcd1]

God bless you, Steve and all the other wonderful professionals out there who take the time to help the rest of us average Joes.

[@obesefeline]

I take those Government shower head flow reducers out right away, much improved flow. Great job Steve

[@michaelpadovani9566]

Wonderful feeling when you get such a positive reaction from a customer upon fixing their issues. People get used to the "degraded plumbing system" until Steve Lav comes to the rescue!

[@robertmatchett2087]

Excellent work Steve, Never know what you are gonna come across with plumbing.

[@georgekramer2496]

You’ve just taken a lot of scary mystery out of my plumbing issues.

[@livingabstract]

I had the same problem problem with the slow hot water flow. In my case it was sentiment build up in the hot water faucet valve. Cleaned it out flows great again. My wives thinks I'm a hero now. Thanks for the awesome video.

[@MyJubilation]

You are a good plumber, Steve lavimoniere!!

[@monterrozacesar5]

That was a tough one but for sure is a good working experience. Good job Steven.

[@ScreenPrintR]

Steven Thanks. I would never have thought the Cold water would start working this way or not working. Great job diagnosing. Must have drove you nuts realizing you turned off the Main water. Now my story. This morning we had no Hot Water in the Kitchen sink faucet. Thought, did my wife pay the bill? I turned the valve to the cold side and it worked. Than I thought, great the water heater went. I went into the Half bathroom and the hot water worked fine. Hmm, I watched your video and a couple others. Two said, including yours, that it might be a frozen pipe. I opened the cabinet door, and the base was wet. A small very small leak coming from the hot water side. That's a good sign. Means we have water. I put my hand on the pipe and it was very cold. Great right? lol, I looked at the cold valve and it was fine. No leaks and cold. Normal. I went back to the Hot and was going to shut it off and take of the braided hose. I realized the Hot water valve was almost off. WHAT! how did that happen? Does freezing pipes make the valve turn as it thaws? Okay so I turned the valve to the left (opened it up), and we had hot water. Yee ha!!! Okay so now we need to replace the hot water valve do to the small leak or replace the rubber washers but at least we have Hot Water. Oh Yeah, I can help you with those t-shirts someone mentioned.

[@jbpost52]

Steve I think this homeowner would benefit from a whole house filtering system with replacable filters. The water up there seems to have lots of deposits.

[@kathyfehr6019]

watching your video as i am trying to figure out why my bathroom hot water faucet is making lots of noise with a lot of water coming out then slows to a trickle then nothing. I had just replaced my lower element on the hot water tank and turned on the main water valve slowly and waited till all the air was out before turning off the hot water tap! Everything was working well till i checked the faucet in the bathroom and for a few hours was checking all the taps and the hot water tank. Looked on youtube and there was you and the dog so i watched you fix the ladys tap...thought i would check mine also and the darn tap had somehow turned itself off...i know that water can do strange things as i had never touched those taps below the sink. Thanks for posting your youtube video Steve,cause idont think i wouldve checked under the sink and tryed those valves...subscribed now,Thanks for the help sir Regards Martin

[@Brad1237202]

Got an education on this one Steven!!!!

[@kdmq]

That was a tedious one. Great job Steve.

[@mitchellpurelife]

great work Steve! some real detective action there!

[@bboytroy16]

Your the greatest plumber, love your work

[@frankvetere4423]

Hey Steve, I'm new to the channel just wondering where you were at bud I'm in the 🇺🇲 Southern California. And you are my friend? 🤔👍🙏

[@scottgadbois249]

You sure made her day!!!!!!!!

[@kevinike]

This just happened to me last week……. Some metal piece in the supply line Thanks for the video

[@dalltex]

Would be spooky if the cold shut off came apart and was missing the screw head :) Nice work Steve!

[@aircooledtx]

That one was head turner, glad you found that screw head. Good Job, Steven.

[@obicat]

Great video! Wish you had come to my house to fix my bathroom faucet..had same problem..hot side coming out slow, cold fine..new kohler faucet! Plumbers have been out twice to install faucet because first guy said he couldn't do it..& now having this problem..what's weird is that after I turn the cold side on, the hot side will work better, water comes out stronger but goes back to weak after shutting off hot side. Plumber told me to call company to get new cartridge and have it before calling them back out again because they think that's what it is and they said they don't carry part??! Another visit is another $115!

[@darkmagicriff]

Always enjoy your videos Steve. How long did that call take you to complete? 40 min.of edited video I'm thinking maybe 2 hours.just curious keep the vids coming out. Also the change in your diet, is treating you well. Have a good day.

[@Fireship1]

That supply was really "screwed" up! But seriously, you never know what the hell your gonna find out there. Every job is a new adventure Great investigative work Steve. Mystery solved.

[@kinggenius6660]

good job. I like hearing the comments from the customers. electrical circuit breakers will do the same situation sometimes you turn them off and they don't come back on.

[@woodbine66]

Nightmare job. Needed your detective work. I'm a plumber in UK, and that is so typical. Spend loads of time trying to trace a stupid little fault. Then, because you've touched things, something else decides to play up. Good work and definitely next level!!!! Thanks

[@neilabernath5862]

Been doing apartment maintenance for forty years. Done hundreds of these faucets. First, check aerator, second, cartridge. Third, shutoff valve. Not that complicated. Tip, replace shutoff valve with quarter turn valve, worth the extra three dollars.

[@harrydickson4575]

Another great job Steve

[@hunkydude322]

Fernando Lamas would say, Steve you do marvelous work.

[@zekenzy6486]

nice job steve

[@smilingcopycat]

Steve is working again yáll.....good work, mama should be proud!

[@JohnstonPettigrew]

niglio.

[@smilingcopycat]

not easy, beeing cheesy...

[@Whisgers]

That has happened to me in the past the nut had come off a old shut off washer someone had taken out and fitted a new one,a month later i found the nut

[@billyjames5283]

Nice job. I want to see the bill $$$ Not complaining, just curious? I have to repair my neighbors and give her an idea on time line and cost.

[@254JROCK]

Lol I had that more than once drive u crazy the first time but u got it , next level Steve

[@michaelzakas4055]

Thanks! Gotta get some Listerine Fresh Burst too!

[@gjd1942]

I've not heard of cholesterol in plumbing before unless we're talking body plumbing but I've heard of calcium build up.

[@clintstathis]

The things this guy says and does in this video make absolutely no sense. He is literally spreading misinformation.

[@LGordon123able]

We have water running on both sides of our kitchen faucet, but the water is cold on both sides. Our dishwasher is directly to the right of our kitchen sink, and when we use the dishwasher, hot water also comes thru the hot side, and when we shut it off, it is cold again. Do we need a new faucet, or could there be a hose twisted somewhere?

[@LGordon123able]

We have no trouble in the rest of the house. IT IS JUST IN THE KITCHEN HOT WATER SIDE>

[@chucklesmakmlgh]

A real plumbers daily life, how you can do the work And video it at the same time,? Great work..

[@Whisgers]

In the u.k. most isolator valves are compression type,save cutting out and trying to solder if pipe has water still present

[@randykocian4738]

Nice find, Steven. It pays to be a good detective . Baby the dog!

[@Spector_NS5_RD]

down the rabbit hole we go chasing problems. good fix, Steve. ever think about doing a live cofee chat???? could be fun.

[@1justwill]

Well done.

[@norcalsolar8291]

Blow the rollers rite outta your hair🤣

[@obicat]

hahahahahaha!!

[@Mexiyeah]

for the compression valve what was the blue goop called? is it like liquid locktite

[@stevenlavimoniere]

pipe dope mega lock

[@rhondagriffith949]

I had new water heater installed. It heats the works, I can feel the hot water pipe exiting the heater gets hot. But no hot water comes out any sink or tub faucet. I have no busted or leaking pipes. Is my pipe clogged up that exits the heater? PLEASE HELP

[@Menmyboy1230]

Steve u ever take the water saver out of the shower head for better pressure?

[@MrMjn5000]

nice job as always... nothing is easy... guess it wasn't a leaker :)

[@NOOBEPICASSO]

this was entertaining

[@znrctrnn]

She keeps a nice clean house, but those pipes.

[@jeanclaudevandam4974]

That old lady is gonna go flying when she showers.

[@mamood2007]

Thanks for your two part video clips to identify the hot water bathroom faucet low pressure and the shower head pressure. It would be a great improvement to both videos if they get edited by cutting down on the length. Both videos were nearly 40 minutes where they may cut down to at most 7-10 minutes. In addition, since you discovered the "cholesterol" in the pipes which was mostly sediments from the main, it would be prudent to recommend to your customer to install a whole house sediment filter to capture the dirt before entering the house pipes, water heater etc. At any rate, the choice is yours.

[@jamesrenzulli6086]

Thanks for the video.

[@altgenesis]

Why don't you try WD-40 or liquid wrench rust remover

[@davidmoulton5422]

Nice job Steve

[@woohunter1]

Had something similar a little bit ago, very little hot coming out of a lowes kitchen faucet that her son installed about 3 mos ago, blockage was in faucet somewhere. Went and bought identical faucet and replaced and told her to take the old one back to lowes and tell them what happened and see if you can get your money back.

[@jelenagraovac6362]

Now next time you know where to look and you getting better and better - good job!!!

[@nocturnal5906]

The homeowner has hard water. Calcium deposits.

[@garrybarnard1192]

What is up with the water up there never seen so much build up.

[@crl2778]

Was about to give you a call but your website says I'm to far away. Dam it!

[@philfalz01]

how did it get through the shut off valve into the connector

[@daveoverbey2032]

?????????????????

[@Scott-eo7lj]

Phil falzone sr he installed it. I'm sure it's junk from his van that was already in it. It just eventually fell into a spot where it blocked the entire flow of water.

[@edwardmartinez199]

Phil falzone sr The crap was in there all the time when he shut it off it came loose and gummed up the cold side. The hot was that. Screw head that blocked the flow.

[@ckdigwal3767]

Thanks for show and best adds.

[@rj.parker]

Does anyone use water softeners or whole house filters up there?

[@kcpeace0306]

change the supply line. take the aerator off and turn on the water.

[@i94south34]

ONE happy customer!

[@darinpugliese5103]

Shark bite is a good product?

[@michealwilliams2547]

Darin pugliese the actual brand sharkbite at home depot..yes don't get the brand from Lowe's complete POS multiple managers there told me

[@360degreemaintenance8]

Well THATS a new one! Haven't pulled a screw out of a supply yet.

[@daveoverbey2032]

Well I have as well had stranger things happen! If so you worked as much on plumbing as he has, you might of realized that & be surprised to what really does happen.

[@dadefope80]

Why do you wear gloves? I could never figure it out.

[@obicat]

probably good idea since germs live in water...keeps all the grease off of your hands too..

[@MrAmagaska1976]

U rock Steve-o

[@Menmyboy1230]

Get shirts made !!! Pic of the dog and under that have it say "the baby dog is working again y'all" and on the back have it say nex level nex level!!!!

[@mylookjohn]

awesome video, thank you for your work. Rock On Master

[@darinpugliese5103]

Got me in suspense

[@daveoverbey2032]

I think what might have happen is after you cleared the screw out of the hot supply line You should have ran water threw it into a bucket & flushed any other debri out first before you rehooked it' & it is most likely why the cold water received the dirt & debris left behind the screw as is what got pushed over to the other side 'that when you turn on the hot supply line it pushed all that gunk over to the cold water supply & now it's clogged.

[@ScreenPrintR]

At first I disagreed with you Dave, but remembered that the house shares the Cold water down in the basement. Actually seems like the City is pumping in dirty water. They need a Filter on the incoming feed for both the house and the hot water before the water breaks off to other feeds in the house.

[@SiteReader]

That makes sense, Screen PrintR. There has to be a reason why the cold water was running fine and then got clogged right after he cleared the broken screw head out of the hot side. . . . . And thanks for the great video, Steve. It's going to help me tomorrow as I try to figure out why my kitchen faucet is running so slow on the hot side. Love your troubleshooting style, and no editing out of the mistakes. It makes me feel better to see that a professional makes them too. These videos where everything goes perfectly don't teach you a thing. No real job goes like that.

[@yambo59]

Looks like that whole house's plumbing system is grunged up, good candidate for a whole house filter. Just me, but seeing how badly clogged the cold shutoff was wouldnt it have been a good idea to just change both shutoffs since theyre the same age-? How do we know that screw from the hot side didn't come from the hot side shutoff under the sink ? Ive used those compression shutoffs for years, great time savers and never had one leak - yet. I like them when replacement time comes too ya don't always have to cut the pipe, ive heard its not supposed to work, but if theyre in good shape ive left the old nut and compression ring on and just replaced the valve, amazingly ive never had a leak - even though I expect it to every time--lol Just my story, your mileage may vary.

[@stevenlavimoniere]

that type of shut off does not have a screw !!!!!!!!the washer is pressed on .... so the screw head ,,,,had to come from the hot water system some were and floated up to the shutoff .odd to find it in there .

[@yambo59]

AH-! I stand corrected in assuming it had a screw. I wasnt being critical, just asking the question -- I should have considered that possibility, that's why you weren't concerned about the other valve, you already knew that type valve didn't have one, something I couldn't have known but you've seen them all so common knowledge for you-lol. So it could have come from who knows where in the system-! That is a rare thing to find, a screw head just traveling around aimlessly for who knows how long from who knows where.

[@edwardmartinez199]

yambo59 Your right good idea.

[@nocturnal5906]

Steve, what you are calling cholesterol is actually calcium.

[@davejohnsonnola2758]

# ft lbs crow's foot torque specs on the compression fitting?

Its was big problem hot and cold water supply. Thanks..

[@ginac733]

Haha, good job! My hot water in my bathroom is barely coming out. It was new in 2016, but I don't use it. Guess I'll have to try that hose thingie. Cold water comes out fine. What's a woman to do... Grab some tools and mess with it. Thanks for the video, maybe mine is rusty. You're a good plumber, mine sucked so I'm not calling him 🙋💜✝️🇺🇲 🚱

[@billhanson4921]

catalitic corrosion... too many different materials is causing corrosion, seems to be a common problem

[@ryanravencaller]

interesting find steve

[@fernandosalgado3589]

I like to remove the aerators and flush out all that debris in the water lines when I shut off water and turn it back on I also have some aerators in stock on the truck Steve lav is working again

[@heribertofernandez6101]

What if one side of the house has good water flow but no hot water.

[@dustyflair]

that house has to have some galv pipes in the inbound water...

[@mrharleyguy2u]

Get the Rollers Mamma....

[@mikejames663]

Wart's and all, well done.

[@buzoff4642]

I look forward to the day SOMEONE redesigns plumbing to eliminate this hanging under the sink with wrenches and pliers business. Considering how much crude there was in the water supply lines, all the aerators all the faucets in the house should've been cleaned out.

The screw head came from the screw they holds down the washer inside the turn off value it probably broke off then got jammed in the supply line notice how rusty it looked
