Have you actually done this before or did you just happen to record yourself doing it for the first time ever. Putting putty on the gaskets that are supposed to be under the sink is wild. Also, sawing off a piece of pipe while rocking and grasping the drain pipe of the other sink, wow. If that wasn't bad enough, leaving that huge bur on the cut piece of abs and then smashing the collar on there and no extra twist. To top things off folks, putting abs cement ON THE UPC STICKER AND NOT REMOVING IT before joinint the two pieces together. What in the world did i just watch????
it is likely clogged deeper down the line. Best to have a plumber run a line down the pipe to unclog it. You can buy a cheap auger or drain snake and try to unclog it yourself. Best of luck and thank for watching the video
Hmmm I'm not sure. Maybe too many outlet on the circuit. We always carry a few of those testers to verify, they often go faulty. Maybe try another one? Would be a good question to ask an electrician. Sorry I'm pretty useless.
Mate! you socketed the bend the wrong way!......the bend should be female socket and downpipe male. The only thing that stops it from pissing water at the join is the roof below it......
im having the same problem. i did the same thing except that i disconnected the plastic pipe that goes into the wall and there was nasty black gunk in the metal pipe thats in the wall. i tried cleaning it out as best i can, but when i put everything back together the water started backing up after about a minute or so. Any advice, need a lil help
This is an epic example how construction goods is totally lack of renovation and competition in the west. Imagine if this happens in China, a downpipe with built in noise cancelling will be everywhere the next day, so ubiquitous that if without you wouldn't be able to sell any anymore.
There's no wire that's called negative or positive in AC electricity. The black wire (hot) switches back and forth at 60 cycles per second between +120v RMS and -120 RMS. The white wire (neutral) is 0v and is the current return to complete the circuit.
Great video, thank you. I have a question/situation. I live in an older/1950's home. I have a receptacle/plug that i want replace. I got it pulled out of the wall (yes the power is/was off), there are 2 white wires and 2 black (not sure why there are 2 of each). The 2 white were attached on the silver screws on the left side, the 2 black wires attached on the right side. I always take pictures BEFORE i do or undo anything for reference. Now here is my issue/question, once i reinstalled the new plug, with white on the left, black on the right, my little tester is reading "hot/neu reverse". Now I'm no electrician, but isn't the white wire suppose to be neutral and the black hot/active??? Should I switch the white the the chrome and the black to the silver to correct this issue?
Replace why? How could you even plug the tester in a two prong outlet? Did you install a three prong outlet without a ground wire? That woudl be a code violation. You should use GFCI receptacle an mark it with "No equipment ground." Without ground reference the tester cannot tell reverse polarity. It is best to call an electrician. You have reached the limit of your knowledge. Outlets often have two of each as they pass current to other outlets.
Why is the screw holding the drain on an angle? Drain sealing also installed improperly. Did not deburr his saw cuts, forced joints together. Please, consult a plumber before making a video. Let’s teach best practices.
My P trap is clear and my pipes are unclogged, yet im having issues draining after laundry cycle… the water backs up and very slowly goes down… how do i speed this up ?
Excellent. Thank you so much. I’m 66 in a condo they want 1350 to remove the one I have. Absurd ! Especially now that I saw your great video. Thanks for taking the time to make that. However. My dishwater clogged at the same time. Will removing the GD , then allow the DW to finish draining ? It seems like is the GD was clogging my sink, that removing it would take care of everything ? If you know of another video to explain that please leave me the link. Thank yous SOOO MUCH
Hiii...the bathroom sink is my house is clogged and after watching your video i tried to fix it but i couldnt unscrew the stopper....what do you think i should do?
Good info. I would like to see how you cover the french perimeter drain (gravel, dirt, fabric?) and finish the whole job. Why does the water end up in a sump rather then being drained to daylight?
@@InspectCanada Thanks for responding. I'm going to replace an outlet for the first time and wanted to be sure. Yes, it's color-coded, but I'm a little nervous.
Do you have to do this with copper clad aluminum? Mine house was built in 1971 and it appears to have copper clad aluminum. I cut the copper colored wire and it looks silver inside.
When you installed the new drain, you put the plumber putty on top of the rubber gasket and paper gasket. That rubber and paper gasket actually gets installed under the sink and only the putty should be on top between the new drain and the sink.
I did this without the glue and they did indeed come out and that maddening sound started again. The down spout is already installed though, os I may just have to wait for a dry day and go up and glue it in up there. Will make note of the right kind of glue to get so I can get it soon at the local home depot. I used plastic mesh scouerers though, wondering if I should buy these more standard scouring pads.
@@InspectCanada thanks. Just found out this morning that I'll have to be moved out to somewhere else in a few months. So I'll probably just keep shoving them up there instead of spending money on glue for it.
