From personal experience. Demo all that old pipe and replace with ABS....great job snaking old pipe.....but it will crack here and there and you'll be opening walls all over again.. Done old Hotel pipe and it was a nightmare....Good Video
Were those fittings and pipe that you replaced leaking? Looked like some surface rust and I couldn't really see in the video where the old pipe and fittings had holes in them. Also, to ensure that you're applying proper torque to the no hub couplings you just installed, you really need a torque wrench set to 60 in/lbs (80 in/lbs for heavy duty/husky couplings) instead of that impact driver. Should've done the simple things first like checking to see if the drains were backed up before you opened the ceiling. Would've probably saved some time. Clear the drains out from the bathroom up top first and then find out if you still have other leak problems in the ceiling afterward. Snaking the drains out from inside the ceiling below is a good way to get soaked and filthy when the blockage releases with all the water behind it.
did u ever go back for other issue or was that more extensive repair required complete demo to get to leaking pipe..i noticed no more plumbin videos after this mainly Hvac...straw broke the camels back...like f plumbing
Those fernco's are for venting and to save you if a waste line breaks in an emergency they are not meant to be used like that hack did in that application. They where all leaking because (pressure ) built up because of a back up, they also have to be torqued to a specific inch pound. I learned that from a old time pipefitter. I was on a job and said slap a fernco on that shit and he went off on me.
He wasn't using Ferncos though...he was using no hub couplings. They're supposed to be used with cast iron no hub pipe and fittings. There's nothing wrong with him using the no hub couplings. I do agree that he doesn't have the proper 60 in/lbs of torque applied to those new couplings (80 in/lbs for heavy duty/husky couplings) because he's using an impact driver instead of a torque wrench to tighten them. As for Ferncos, I use them quite a bit with repairs. As a matter of fact, I've used a metal shear band around the Ferncos and I think they hold up better than the no hub couplings, IMO. Not saying that I use Ferncos exclusively to connect drain pipe. To each their own, but he ain't wrong for using approved materials for this application unless code says it's wrong. However, I will question as to whether or not he knew what he was doing the whole time. He seemed to have changed out the pipe and fittings simply because they "looked terrible" and may not have necessarily been leaking or in imminent danger of leaking. Didn't see much on the fittings and pipe other than surface rust.
Haha I'm sure alot of people wouldov ran to. I wasn't expecting all that but I was there so it was time to take on the challenge. Thanks for watching & stay tuned for new videos every week🔧⚡️
You’re a brave man, JMT!! 💪🏼
Hope you’re being paid well. Fully deserved.
Btw, Subway restaurant called…they want their sandwich making gloves back 😜
This job was disgusting but I was glad to help and learn a little something about piping. Great job JMT.
It really was & thanks for coming! Stay tuned for new videos every week🔧⚡️

Wow not an easy job. Well explained. Interesting and helpful video JMT. Waiting for the next vid. Great job 👏
Where is the second video? Having a similar issue. Would love to see how he fixed the lines under the showers.
Looking forward to the follow up. I laughed out loud at all that water coming down. 👍
It was a nightmare LOL thanks for watching & stay tuned!
Kudos to you brother.... I saw the opening scenes and I thought: ok demolish the building....nobody is fixing that 🤦🏻🙃🏃

Great job! What brand is the snake drill attachment you used? Can you share the link from where you purchased it?
Very great video want to see part 2 you r a hard brave man love your video want more videos like this.
Man that was a job, you did great to unclog the pipes.
Great video ✌👍
Wasn't an easy one but I come to do my best. Thank you! Stay tuned for new videos every week🔧⚡️
ooof 😵💫 absolute nightmare is right… great work though, not an easy gig🙏🏼

Tough job .Thanks for sharing
It definitely was. It was a nightmare. Thanks for watching! Stay tuned for weekly uploads 🔧⚡️
Bad shower pan?
Lol you killing the 50 an hour 🤣
Dam they got to chop up the floor then.
Bro you need a hazmat suit for jobs like these 🤣
It was interesting but I would have ran ...Lol ... I want to see the next one tho ... Thx ...
Haha I'm sure alot of people wouldov ran to. I wasn't expecting all that but I was there so it was time to take on the challenge. Thanks for watching & stay tuned for new videos every week🔧⚡️
You the man you make it look to easy day in an out Great work jmt
It was a lot harder than it looked in the video for sure haha thanks for watching dude!
What a nightmare
As Steve would say: What a shit show, momma!
Definitely was! Thanks for watching & stay tuned for new videos every week🔧⚡️
at least 5K bucks for this
