LOL can't stop laughing. I can see the snake coming right out of the machine.
Even with pipe bends, once the snake gets about 1/2 way out the weight of the cable will start pulling. Benn there many times, but never lost one. LOL too funny

I was thinking when Pippin knocks over the dead dwarf in armor down the well hole in LOTR😂. You could hear it hit every surface on the way down🤣

🤣🤣 Next time this happens try using an electrical snake to try to grab the plumbing snake. The electrical snake will sometimes wrap around the other snake. I use this technique in the electrical field

[@ronzo9377]

You're lucky you found that in the stack it wouldn't apply right away in that three or four inch but it would have clogged eventually

[@chrissmith513]

Anything can happen.... So who pays for the ceiling?

[@valenzaplumbing]

He said they had to cut the ceiling open anyway, to change the tub waste. So the customer is paying.

Don't require a combustion test on the burner after replacing gas valves?

[@artemisargent8623]

You really should of bent the valve handle at 10:20 so it opened all the way. Other than that, great work

If your drains are PVC or Copper you can generally recover a lost snake with a strong magnet taped to a electrician's fish tape.

Working live sewer/vent dtacks there are far far worse things than corona. HIV, all the HEP, STDs and more.

Plumbers are immune. We have the strongest immune systems in the game.
