Made me laugh out loud when all that pounding released flow...lucky break, slightly less mess. Man, mucho respect for your persistence on those caps. Those golden tops sure didn't look like they'd be so problematic.
After 40 years of experiencing back ups you would thing the guy would clean up the basement. You would also expect the guy to tell the wife to back off on the laundry soap powder. He was prepared for the gusher with the trash bag behind the trap and the garbage can underneath. I guess he learned something during the 40 years. 🤣🤣
You tell him Mike! You’re 100% right but they should’ve taken that rat trap out in the first place years ago like I would’ve done and then I would’ve put a tee in with a clean out just in case along with a vent to go with the one that’s already there, done them before.
He's probably overwhelmed with all that shit in the basement. He doesn't even know where to start if he were to clean it out. I see it all the time with seniors. Young people do it also. They also waste money on storage.
I feel so sorry for the elderly when it comes to problems like this . All of their things ruined. Thanks for at least trying to contain it as best you could for them.
Mercifully for the customer that was a lovely clean job. If he ever has a bad flood one day, that basement is going to be a hell of a clean up operation. You do seem to have a lot of problems with soap residue in the US, in the UK most people seem to use liquid detergent these days. You have some lovely tree colour in NY state, we dont really get the intense cold here in the UK very often, so the colours are not so vibrant. Best wishes from Wales.👍
Great job! That was some kind of a stubborn cap,! On the other hand, this did help to release the pressure In steps ... and nice setup for the "waterfall" by the customer, looks like he knew what could be happening ...
That's a really low lying trap... they create nothing but problems, but for the homeowner, the cost to eliminate the trap all at once is incredibly expensive. Thank you for yet another great video. Get yourself a hammer drill. That saved soooo many caps in my years of drain cleaning. Just a thought, brother. Keep on keeping on!!!
Sir is that boo boo in the wash? Wow! I am still watching but I love your videos. I do not comment all the time, especially if I’ve already commented a lot LOL but I watch them all LOL. I have crippling OCDs and am a germaphobe and these vid help me. They have been my cure! Thanks so much for sharing and God Bless ❤.
If i saw that in my wash machine i would've threw it away cause i aint tryna smell that i love ya channel but i see the iq you got to clean these drains 💪✌️👌 thats for you hold it hown big dawg
You have a cap like that - you got to sing _”Keep a Knocking but You Can’t Come In.”_ just for our entertainment Donald.😂 Because we are all distract by that layout down there with all those obstructions. What advice to give to someone who has a washing machine full of poop? You don’t-- you give them back them $49.95, and give them the location of the nearest SpeedQueen. 😂
Dam 40 years of junk in the way. Looks like its time to get a dumpster & clean out the basement. Now there is going to b mold in all that junk down there. Good job 😊
No Dan that’s not what you do, you wait for Donald to clear the clog and then you put the washing machine into wash mode and then let it drain it all out. Hit it with the spraygun with a bunch of Clorox and the machine will be fine and so will you!
I'll never understand why you don't clear from the street side of the trap when it;s free and open,instead of opening the house side and having it flol all over. This just proves my point
It's not going to matter if he does or not - the entire pipe is backed up and under pressure. All of that released at once is going to come pouring out with force of the street side if he does it that way anyways. Jumping the trap is also very difficult with a rigid cable machine.
Yoooooo Donald!! Watched this last week & forgot yo drop my comment. I always thought shower fulla poop was the worst it could get but, washing machine is waaaay worse😂🤮. Hoping all is well Bud, Dirty Jersey out!!
That is a terrible sewer line design. It's bad when the only spot it can back up is your washing machine and the trap isn't even in any contained space. Really amazed how you got that all fixed and cleaned without any mess.
I was going to ask you about the noise. Sounded like an air source but before that I had to make sure it was a real noise and not ky headphones. Lowl That was definitely a hard job with all that hammering. Tons of soap scum definitely was waiting for the splash 😅
1:07 Hello Donald; another perfect example Donald as to why you should invest into one of those Milwaukee backpacks with a switchable drum if you needed it (which I don’t think you would need to have two different drums. They do have cable sizes in 5/8 inch and 3/4 inch so you do have a choice.) You get one with the good battery in it will last you all day I have a battery back up for mine, meaning I have two batteries just in case I have a real busy day. Good videos all the time. I’m sorry people are stupid like that. where they think they got to save every little thing like it’s gonna be in a museum someday but it makes your job so much tougher to negotiate that Spartan power auger through! I did a job up in Meriden, Conn. couple weeks ago with the rat trap and I wish the guy that I gave my phone to video the gush knew how to run the phone, despite him saying that he did and missed it because he shut it off before the gush which would’ve put some of your good gushes to shame because it was a pretty good one! A business and two-story house above so three stories of poop and paper to come through, it was a real good one! Keep up the good work, Donald but try to work smarter not harder and invest in your sanity because you could’ve put that right on your back and walked through all of that. Have a good week.

@@NYDRAINS You are welcome sir and best of luck to you. Feel free to call me if you ever want to talk about that Milwaukee set up that I have. Unfortunately as you know, I cannot send you any pictures through UA-cam to show you the set up but your back and everything else will be happy especially with a job like that where you got to go / walk through a maze of crap!
The washer hook up is not to code. There's supposed to be an air gap between the sewer pipe and the drainpipe. Yes, the sewer would still back up, but not into the washing machine. It would go onto the floor.
Bc he doesnt have a lick of sense. Ive asked the same question before. This was a perfect example of why you should try that first to mitigate spillage.
Me too like who knows what got backed up into that washer. Like its probably fine after a thorough cleaning but as a germaphobe i cant bare the fact that there was sewage in it. Imagine if it was a brand new washer too… like…
washing machine should never be hard piped into the drain which is why the sewer backed up into it. the entire sanitary drain is a butcher job. piped in by a handyman that didn't know what he was doing.hanging house traps with band iron is not what a plumber does
Yeah, this one did itself what you should be doing all the time... Don't release the damn pressure by removing the lid and snake out the side that doesn't have pressure. Save everyone from getting shit everywhere...
Wow that a lot of soap scum, by the way i was wondering...would soap scum gather like thst in PC Piping too? Another amazing unclogging Donald Than you!! 🗽🍎🐀🌽💧✌️
Pvc pipe are more smooth than cast iron and more likely not build up so quickly, but still might happen depending on the pitch, and water flow, thanks Kimberly 👍
How do you fight soap built up ? Getting paid 😂 very easy money respect from 205 pisces black alpha male Birmingham Alabama home of the Civil rights moment
Preventative maintenance is usually the key. Powdered soaps usually big up fast. The other types, the pitch of the pipes, types of material, and poor drainag, play a big part also 😉

Think he had too much stuff in the basement ,Luckly the beast did not have to get carried(close call though) nice job Donald..
My back agrees with you Peter!
I think the check valve is the issue..it stops the flow too much.
It was part of it, but it did have a slight belly just after the check valve.
