WATER MAIN LEAK DISCOVERED IN CRAWL SPACE PLUMBING
This video just gave me total respect and appreciation 4 plumbers
gotta love me some plumbing.
Chuck, when you hit the ugly, some humor goes a long way, you are good at that. You make plumbing fun!! Thanks, for the video !!
got to.
I helped my uncle replace a broken cast iron sewer pipe. It leaked for a solid week before the tenants noticed the smell. Crawled through 20 feet of the foulest smelling water and dirt. The dirt had giant red worm in it too. The Tyvek suit did nothing because the water seeped right through it. We put down some plywood to lay on top and did our thing. Plumbers are heroes!
Yes indeed you are! How much per hour is charged for that?
Unsung heroes for sure
There are terrible parasites in that sewage water that will wreck your life. Please wear something that can keep the water from getting to your skin!!!
I’m glad there are guys out there like you & your boys willing to do the dirty work.
If you told me $1k for that fix, I would’ve paid it to prevent my ass from getting down there!
get er done....
Any time you enter a crawlspace, you earn your money! Thanks Chuck.
So many factors in plumbing.
I'd have shut the house down and went back in a week when ti was all dried up, off to a hotel they'd go. an open basement is one thing, that is a whole different level that I'm not willing to do anymore lol
I did a sewer job last week and cleared it. let it dry 10 days and found that water leak for starters. more to come. so fun.
Look at him smiling when he's digging. no one Love's digging as much as me it's peaceful work just a shovel and your thoughts..
oh shovel time is so fun. and man and his tool. perfect together.
This is real work from a real guy. God bless you brother and keep up the great work.
I appreciate that! We got another coming up.
@@ChuckBarron how much does this service usually run? We're in california and just hired a company to perform this job, along with a pex repipe (1200sq.ft. / 2 bath/kitchen) and quoted my father $12k and some change. They said 1 day but now over a week, they cut our CCTV lines in the process, and now water heater does not produce hot water. They promised increase in water pressure but no notice in pressure. Seems like a headache. Are we being overcharged? Thanks.
Old faithful was spraying almost the 1st 5 minutes while still digging that 1st line out...i watched you get hosed by it the entire time while still digging for a leak....lol.
fun fun fun
Chuck, I don't care what you charge per hour. I would pay you double for that work.
Every day plumbing.
I would not pay for a illegal repair.
I admire plumbers, they do and fix a lot of problems. Kudos to them.
Keeping the world safe one pipe at time. thanks
Thank you
Good job CB, it takes a real plumber to keep a good attitude in a mess like that, smells like money
I smell well earned payday....two more parts coming from this one. This was a side bar repair.
Another satisfied customer. You just saved the customer lots of money on customer water bill.

Warren, Michigan
every drip counts...lol
My house is just like that. And now I have a hot water pipe busted (from the recent Texas 2021 winter storm) at the opposite end of house where the crawl space entrance is! Hoping I can get a plumber out here soon . Thanks for the video! (
That one floor joist speaks volumes!
Smells like money, LIVING THE DREAM!!
Dreaming of a sandy crawl space. I love it.
wow, someones getting paid! Thanks for posting! And thank you for being in the trade!
Earned it here. Thank you.
Ay chuck... do you guys do everyday plumbing.. 😂😂😂.... watching this video once again makes me so happy I’m a plumber... 🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🏄🏄🏄🏄😎🤑
hitting the surf in 3 hours dawg. love me some plumbing too.
Nice sprinkler system they got down there. I love the Romex cable down there getting a shower too.
Lose wires are killers. especially for fireman. Getting tangled and shocked..No bueno!
Chuck has gone where No man dare to go.
another adventure.
I've been under a few nasty jobs like that in my days good times for sure!!! Looking forward to seeing your new van good going CB and be careful with them jobs they'll get you.
Ya I hot mess for sure and more to come today.
I guess I should’ve looked at the rest of the video before asking why ? At least you have that great ratcheting wrench that worked like a charm. Keep on plumbing CB 1 !!! You da man !!!
Man....Vids only show so much but I get ya point. lol
since 1996...this was good stuff for me, love your demeanor, well executed, the wires scared me alot, they say never dive alone, so i wouldnt go under a house w/o your back up team for real ...triage is where you decide what gets immediate attention so when you have multiple issues one must decide what issue will be better served first and in this case the water leak, a hose clamp(s) a pop can/ sheet metal makes for a great temp fix (really) anyway great to see the Jersey gang workin it as only they can remember every day is love your plumber day...sUrF"s Up
good words.....surfing today Tom.
The good, the bad, and ... you're not kidding ... the ugly. Hope the people were happy with your outstanding efforts. Would another plumber turn down a job like this?
I love it. Im sure they would but why. ha
I’m plumbers apprentice with my dad an we are on a main water line leak call right now lol
Need some laughs....call us up.....lol.
I was thinking maybe if there was some sewage left behind in the soil and then with it getting all wet forever it made the soil act like it was raw sewage. Not to mention all those wet boards create mold. Nice Job Chuck.
more to come joe
CB anytime we have to crawl under a house, it can't be good. Thanks for video. I am enjoying it from laughlin Nevada, took a couple days off.
nice....enjoy the time. I just had a 5 day stretch off last week from both jobs. Enjoy.
Love it, IN MY COUNTRY!
lol....new catch phrase.
This is what my uncle called a “sleep on the couch job”. Where my aunt said you’re not sleeping in this bed tonight.
Shower 3x them maybe I get the pass. lol
This guy is a total plumber rockstar. He also totally look like Mitch pileggi from the X files. He was also n sons of anarchy. Anyway brutha. U rock. Much respect
you forgot Mr. Clean.....ha. thanks Cory
Oh I’m just scaring myself watching these videos tonight. I heard air in a pipe and all of my taps were off. So now I’ve turned the water off at the main and I’m waiting until morning. Imagining what my crawlspace looks like right now
I can't stand when a customer wants to keep putting a bandaid on major problem...like..let's replace the damn thing and be done with it! I feel for ya Chuck.
Time bout to expire on this house.
I do not envy these owners cuz I know that was a hell of a hefty bill and I also do not envy these guys for having to crawl around down there lol.
That is a job that Steve would not touch
Oh ya he's probably doing a cooking video
i love it.
or feeding the chickens...lol
This has a "feels like a monday" vibe.
oh but a Friday real time.
Looks like they have a lawn sprinkler running under there.
They must have one heckuva water bill.
im sure it was huge.
You are the crawl space man CB !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
going in boys and girls
@@ChuckBarron you r the man
Man when you think you’re having a bad day, someone else has it worse. Respect to you brother.
We doing it Bill. Thanks
Yes, sewer flies come from water. Especially were conditioned water environment is located.
oh nice Zach i thought i was out of the woods until we found a secret bath in the back buried in lil closet..its coming today. we found another problem. the original fly producer. its a cream puff job. lol
Nice job sir,I lost track of how many times I've been there,in 41 yrs of plumbing, once in a while I have my son's with me, but they grow up so fast, keep it flowing Chuck ✌️🇺🇸💩
Great work always! Nice job!
What if that burst pipe filled up the entire crawl space? Would the homeowners insurance company pay for the repairs and also pay for the water to be pumped out?
depends on your policy. yes been to a few crawl space pools in my career.
Shes a leaker mama shes a leaker
hurry up.....plug it.
Chuck I would be saying it's time to replumb them old water lines they all are gonna go bad replumb with pex
listen you see what it is. it needs a transplant for sure. I put a band aid on that bleeder and holding fast but its coming soon. Its life time warranty is all but done.
When we will see your new plumbing van?
Tic Toc its coming
Nice work 👍👍👍🗜
clamp it dawg
Under floor scrap yard there CB
the grave yard of thats house's life time.
CB2, Where are yooouu!?!?!?
CB2 was fresh air support....ha
Oh man this is a good one here. I would've put plastic down and cardboard down on this one. Man I feel your pain I been plumbing for over 25 yrs and seen some bad ones. In fact I thaught about learning another trade when these come up LOL. But someone has to do it right?
this is heaven....lol
@@ChuckBarron Roger dat
nothing like swimming in a crawl space....... only better if it's poo water :))
oh thats coming too.
yummy yummy
iId guess the old sewage water/contaminated earth from previous broken kitchen line was left in place and now the water leak re-hydrated all the nasty-yuck, attracting the fly's via the stink.
Just flies in the night having fun. lol
This job is not for the faint of heart
we on it.
I'm looking up Tyvek suits right now!
I got to order more. I wear them all the time now. Its a party in them jokers.
Now that is extremely hard work! How this man able to dig/ n/ shovel w/o getting short of breath( Nurses lingo: sob). I was just looking at how much work. $500’a Bill.
Wondering,name of clamp? 2 long screws and hinges dble sided contour brackets. Needing a plumber now (Texas) but my house crawl space is dry- since the 15 th. Freeze.
CB, why are you climbing under there when you have your wonderful apprentices? I would tell that homeowner not to call you when that pipe fails in the middle of winter and you have to work in that cold wet mess. He had his chance.
plumbing is so fun
the good part of this job is you're getting sprayed with fresh water and not sewage
Love it
me too.....lol
How long will that clamp last? Hopefully you convince them to get the upgrade sooner than later
no very long.
I tried. and that clamp will last years.
time is on our side with them clamps
I would love to have Steve Lav. comment on this video.
How bout I reach out and do a live between him and I? Emailing him right now....
At 12:10 thru about 12:45 there is a drip from the rusty pipe to the right of where you are working on the water. Or was that drip from sprayed water hitting over there and dripping?
yes. we thought from looking in crawl space hole that the leak from from above. then we got to point of leak and its the spray effect. good news we did not have to open any walls upstairs. that was the only good news on this beast of a job.
The old galvanized steel pipe
oh ya.....11/4 water main. insane....for a one bath row.
Thats a future nightmare for sure all those pipes are shot damn
life time warranty about to expire
I think you could use some trained groundhogs or gophers to go in first and expose the pipes.
yea right.
hard work you need a holiday after that.
No time for that....its sewer repair next. stand by. lol
I just found your video because unfortunately I have a majorally bad situation going on in my crawl space. We live in a 60 year old home and have a SWAMP down in our crawlspace. The pipes are leaking (they are old lead pipes) looks like Niagra falls down there. Mushroom mold of all sorts of fun. Complete hazmat as one guy put it. Apparently the person that wants to "fix all this" has said we need to completely gut both the kitchen and the bathroom to GET to the pipes as "no one" would want to go "down in that mess" ... After watching your video it sure seems like YOU would go down in that mess ! I have no idea what I'm looking at price wise but according to the guy we are looking at substantial money ... So does that mean $5k, $10k, $15k, $20k, $25k etc .... Do you have any idea ??
Not sure...Whats money its only paper and a clean bill of health..Shop a couple good companies for your mental state of mind. Good luck Denise.
@@ChuckBarron thank you Chuck! I just sent you a message on FB messenger with some pics too ...
@Chuck Barron how much does this service usually run?

just like the film the great escape lol
so happy to close it out.
CB where there's muck there's brass
AND DOLLARS
shhhhhhhh there's gold in them sands
How much for this repair?
I do not recall. Have to look it up.
This is the type of job to walk away from. To much going on! To bid it would be replacing everything.
1,000$??? repairs like this are expensive. this house needed an entire repipe.
bad stuff always happens on a monday or a friday
I know. I was pushing and it went down hill twice after that and we were able to steady the trip. its coming to a theater near you....lol
Respirator chuck
ya i was not thinking here.
The leak in my house is huge
PLUMBER! STAT!
I can smell that crawlspace from here! 🤮
Priceless!
Why do you use a clampette instead of fixing it the right way ? Are you just going to put clamps every time there’s a leak on that pipe ? Do it right the first time and you wouldn’t have to go down there and work in all that smelly sand and whatever else is down there. If it works for you, who am I to judge ? I would fix it the right way and be done with it.
Its not fair to you but the whole story is been told to owner and that repair was a surprise find. I had quoted all new or repair and he could not swing all new at this time. The vid only shows a piece of the story. I do feel the same and do offer the right moves when I plumb out there. Its like a old car....some times you just got to say good bye to it and buy new. Oh speaking of new.....I have a new van coming....lol
ahhh pre covid content
You need your board for this job! Yuck!
entry to small....such a wresting match to get in and out.
