As a kid, my father taught me when ever there is a problem with drainage, Always go to the house trap to further assess the situation. Great video as always. Many thanks Donald.
this is probably the biggest problem with any finished basement.... hidden plumbing with poor access and expensive stuff stored all around. This is a $10k insurance claim all day long. Toss out half the junk, rip up the wet carpet, remove damp wallboard, and spend a week bleaching / drying out before reinstalling everything.... and all because of a $3 box of wipes!
I agree totally. After watching these videos I made provisions before i finished my basement. There is a 1' brick surround between finished wall and concrete wall to serve as a holding tank in case of maintenance w/all plumbing fully exposed.
@@r.ernestwhite7259 a one foot wall cavity? who in the heck can service anything in that? hang on while I bring in the diesel compressor and air jack hammer, plus saws to cut it all out. starting price abut $55K *USD*
Drain Cleaning AUSTRALIA I love your channel, makes my day everytime you post. I love your banter and your enthusiasm. And I also dislike people who litter. NYDRAINS is also a favourite of mine as well!
I have to say Donald. That's a good job you did there. When I go and clear out these drains I find wipes. I always tell the tenants and the owners not to flush them but I think secretly deep down I continue to want them to just for the fact that they keep us in business. Great video Donald. Keep it up brother. Flowing like a river
Forget MCR's Black Parade... This is Don's Wipe Parade. Looks like I have a lot more vids to enjoy with a hefty side of wipes. Much love and appreciation from Oklahoma! ❤❤
That is a Mensa candidate right there The sewer pipes clogged The plumber is here I know, I will go use the sinks and toilets upstairs Brilliant Must be a 180 I.Q. right there
I remember going into this one, seeing both sides uncapped and yet everything was "stable", thinking, hey, maybe this time it'll be an easy job with minimal mess! Then the eruption started...
I'm totally convinced the manufacturers lobbied congress to allow them to advertise that those wipes are flushable, there's no way they should be allowed to make that claim! Plumbers' union did not object...😂
Hey, anything is flushable. Should you? Heck no. I had to help my sister unclog her toilet. I asked her what she flushed? Her answer, left over pot roast. Idiot….
Hi 👋 DONALD great job wow that was a lot of wipes people will never learn not to flush wipes but we know 😉 you will get the job done ✔ I really enjoy your videos keep up the good work 🙏 and keep the videos coming have a bless week 😀 😊 👍
Man alive, what a mess, I feel for the poor home owner. Hope his insurance covers it. Good clean out on yet another wipe mountain. Yuk. Pleased we can't smell what you do Donald!!
Quick question. Can you use a wrench or channel locks to tighten those steel plugs on the sewer trap. A customer was giving me shit saying that the right way is to use a wrench to tighten those steel plugs which doesn’t even work. Only way I put those plugs on was hammering it in.
99.9 % of the time, it doesn't work. It all depends on the homeowner. If they take care of the trap and open the caps regularly in that fashion, technically, yes, it happened to me once! But you can remove and install them both ways, but it's usually done by tapped in and out with a hammer 🔨 😉
#140 this is very good.impressed I am ☺said in a statement that the other day when you get a chance to see the other side of the world and the other hand ✋
And we have one of the usual suspects: Wipes!! I guess the home owner just goes thru his normal routine of flushing the toilet & washing hands without thinking that the drain is clogged, even tho the plumber has not even begun to start unclogging! Good grief! You got to wonder how some people can function. Have a great day! From beautiful Senoia, GA!
Great to see another video from you Donald, wow there was a few wipes in there, i know its your living but i think they need to look into a better design of wipe, mind saying that they they do we wont be seeing great videos like this one 👍
🤣I hate it every time when questioned about the obvious : 2:50 Is it backing up?.. But I suppose at the sometime he was a kind man too . Till then Donald
The waste water treatment plants all over the country are having a huge problem with the wipes clogging up their equipment and costing millions of dollars in repairs
I’ll tel ya who’s NOT having a problem because of the whipes …… the mechanics themselves who make endless amounts of money and guaranteed job safety because of them lol
That may be one of your most pain in the ass cleaning with the wipes yet...not by number of them but how entangled they were. I am curious from on scene to actually leaving how long that job took cause at some parts you had to speed up and edit some of the wipe removal and stuff but curious how long that all took in the end? I do wonder if that exit pipe was put in poorly or may have something kinking it up like an arch, like a small frost heave to have that sheer amount of wipes collect like that in the pipe. Definitely a mystery but it almost seems like a certainty this place you or your co-workers will be revisiting. :D
That’s like my job I work at a nursing home and there is these absorbent wipes that they Used to wipe the residents down and all over the package it says do not flush and yet the CNA’s and nurses are constantly flushing them
The number of sewers cleaned every day with this machine is extremely lubricated! Lol, but in certain circumstances, as Joe m said, motor oil when needed and for other parts of the machine WD-40 once a week.
I would love to do a survey among your clients in who uses the most wipes. Men vs women. We know that the numbers will be incorrect because - and I quote "don't flush them" plush they're flushable. OMG.... IT'S A WIPENADO.... That looks like it was going to explode if you didn't clean out of when you did. That would have been a real shit storm.
Yep, got all the water err sewage cleaned up, i think i will go flush all my toilets upstairs while the plumber is here. Got the clog, here is a little something for you, discount coupons for sanitary wipes....
Holy crap let me guess his problem was excessive wipes Lord Almighty I have never seen that much wipes like that before. Have they ever heard of toilet paper? LOL
Why is the trap inside the house. Why arnt they located outside the property. In the uk we have access chambers outside the property. Saves all that mess being made.
I solved the problem of flushable wipes by installing a two-foot diameter drain that goes from my toilet directly into the magma level of the earth. The wastewater cools the planet and the heat incinerates the wipes. Problem solved.
