Your dad gives great advise on how to solve a lot of plumbing problems. It would be helpful if you can show pictures when he’s talking to give examples to people like me who don’t have a clue of what he’s talking about without googling it. Your dad is full of knowledge though!

When you were talking about not snaking a kitchen drain from the top, Erica and I said, "Ahhhhhh" at the same time. It was kinda funny. Thanks for clearing things up.

Your videos are always helpful! How about a video about clogged kitchen sinks? Mine seems to get clogged all the time despite the fact I use a strainer and never pour grease down it!

Hi Jim I was a driver, not a plumber. I have stuck a wet rag into the overflow on a tub and used my shop vac in wet mode and sucked out hair clogs, not mine, Bad idea? I enjoy your channel.

My overflow stopper that's attached the chain link is stuck (in the open position). Its only 3 years old and is not stuck because of rust. I unsuccessfully used a calcium, lime, rust dissolver. Still stuck. Any advice on how to get it out? It's still connected to the chain link. I'm afraid to yank very hard and the link breaks leaving the metal barrel type stopper completely stuck.

In my shower on the 2nd floor, which is not used much, when the shower is on, it makes a clanging sound from the pipes. What causes this?..Thank you

I've got an old claw-foot tub that has been slow to drain for the last year or so. I would use straight vinegar (trying to be environmentally conscious) to try and clear the "clog". It would barely work. So it finally stopped draining all together. I bought Drano/Liquid Plumber - it did nothing. I bought a snake, put it through the tub drain, but the drain " T's" at the back of the tub and I couldn't go any further. But the snake would move freely through that portion and no hair would come out with the snake. So I put it in through the overflow as this would let me go past the "T". I could get the snake past the "T" maybe 8"-12" and the snake would hit something hard, seemingly. I can't tell if it's hitting another "T" under the floor or if there is something hard in the pipe. And my tub does not have a drain stop with a spring that I can see. Any thoughts? Thanks for your channel. Your advice has helped me with so many other plumbing issues. You've saved me time, frustration and money.

I use a shop vac on any drain I can in the house. Been doing it for years, actually i just did it last night to our bathroom sink. You need to cover the vent with a wet rag. I wonder if it would work on a shower or tub?? I haven’t had to do one yet. This is a great channel. Your dad doesn’t seem to be too grumpy tho. My dad is grumpy, he’s a real A hole, but he’s my A hole and he’s taught me a lot.
