Damn, Dirt Boss, you are about the most determined fella I have ever seen. I was so proud to see a man go the extra mile for his customer. The money you saved these people is huge. I hope they know how lucky they are to have a repair man like you in the community, you are a gem.

@wingman8447 Год назад

Nice fix. You’re right, only you would take the time to find the real problem. I’m glad you did the video. Not only good instruction but shows the honesty in your business. Thank you

@DIRT-BOSS Год назад

Thanks

@davidj4662 Год назад

Nice repair, shows what can happen when a contractor cuts corners.

@dozerboy67 Год назад

Padding pipe also makes it easier for us operators. If a pipe has sand or gravel around it you can feel it when you break through the dirt into the trench. I’ve put miles of RCP and joint trench in the ground, working first as a ground man and laborer, then as an operator. Something very satisfying about laying pipe, no pun intended! 😂😂 I’m retired now and get my kicks watching RU-vid videos, but I do so miss working! Be safe out there buddy! 👏👏🙏💪💪🤘

@randymyers5086 Год назад

Great job and you're right not many would have taken the time to do what you did. Most would of sold them a whole new system.

@waynevincent5448 Год назад

"Septic Exploratory", words nobody really want's to hear. Great repair, and thanks for showing it. Just proves the point about having your head working when onsite and not skipping any steps. You saved that customer thousands of dollars by performing your due diligence. PS, you've certainly had a positive influence on me, I always make sure I have a couple trowels in the service truck after listening to you explain why.

Now that was a proper fix and I'm glad you filmed it, too. The homeowner practically has a whole new system! So, did the original contractor eat crow yet, LOL? He can watch the video himself if he still doubts your word.

If they had just called you to start, they wouldn’t have had to call you to fix it. There IS a difference between doing it and doing it right. You know that difference. That’s why I tune in. It’s a joy to watch you in action.

Thanks buddy

@georgeenriquez612 Год назад

Good job Mike! Thank you for filming this job, made for a hell of a informative video which are my favorite.

@dougpark1025 Год назад

Nice fix. The main problem was the glue joint. The purple primer softens the plastic and makes it sticky. But without glue it won't hold for long. Even if the pipe was bedded properly the water would allow things to settle once the pipe pulled apart. I've accidentally forgot the glue on some sprinkler lines and had failures like that. But with pressurized pipe the failures become obvious a lot sooner. Chances are the joint you fixed won't fail in your lifetime.

@6582rg Год назад

You do good work sir. Like you said, less experienced guys would recommend a new system because they don't understand exactly how a septic works and how much fall is necessary.

@jeffterhune8573 Год назад

Nicely done, glad you filmed it also.

@derrickpettit86 Год назад

That's crazy it wasn't glued, it's like sometimes you find a issue an you think to yourself, what the heck, thanks for sharing mike, that was cool to watch, I look forward to seeing the next video 🤙✊🇺🇲💪

@JNHEscapes Год назад

You should film more of these repair jobs. I learned alot. I never knew what the best way to seal the pipe at the tank and I’ve never seen the hydraulic water stop…I like to know what the pro’s use to fix random issues.

@alexosborne5629 Год назад

Now the recording makes sense Mike !! Not a big job but an essential repair nonetheless. All pipes over here have to bedded on pea gravel or similar material. Your hoover made short work of the excess water, good idea to keep it handy 👍

@yenerm114 Год назад

Good job db, usually there’s a ring of glue around where the 45/90 bottoms out on the pipe n they don’t just come apart, didn’t look like there was any glue lol think u were pretty spot on 👌👌👌👌

@maxobara1496 Год назад

Great video for sure Mike!! Is the original contractor on your Xmas list too😂 I was waiting to see pipe flow when you asked if anybody was in there, that would have been a classic😂 Your name and work ethic’s keeps the phone ringing for you!! Nice work Dirt Boss💪👍🇺🇸

@sonnyblazer5504 Год назад

Should have been done initially! Me thinks 'someone' was helping you put the CEMENT where the plastic met the old. Anyone could see MASONARY hands at work! Another thing is you talk all the way through what you do cuz you enjoy doing it correctly & for others to learn so THANKS for all that! YES, you are the "BOSS" of all you do!

Hopefully you’ll get paid double on this one…. from the customer and from the views on the channel. Yeah, initial thought wouldhave been to replace but second thought I don’t see anything that would compromise/infiltrate the drain field. Nice job investigating👍🏼.

@donaldmendes184 Год назад

The out of tank what I did was use a rubber that went around outer diameter of pipe, and then grouting in.

@scssarge4409 Год назад

Just a thought! the plummer may have had it right when it was installed but heavy equipment ran over it and sagged it into the ground. I'm not saying it was or not glued as evidence points not by accident which then separated as in conclusion when heavy equipment ran over it. Plain logical thus why a small fence was placed down to stop traffic running on it.

Nothing worse than someone who does a job that's critical to the customers safety and screwing it up. That pipe could have caused sewer gas to back up to the point it actually made it past the U traps. Really nice to see someone does the job as it should have been an didn't scam the homeowner into getting more done than they needed. This episode and the Andrew Caramata road video convinced me to sub this channel.

Well other guys would say rip everything out and replace it.. not cuz they just want more money or trying to scam the customer but because if the system is 25yrs old and u found one problem well most likely your fix is just a bandaid and you will be back to dig up another section. Resulting in you looking like a douche bag rookie 🤷‍♂️
