Thank you!! Barely any videos of people actually removing the PVC to clean the pipes. All the other videos are dyi house wifes putting baking soda and vinegar down their drains. Need a practical solution, not a temporary one 💪
Hi Megan, thanks for the feedback. I always pull the PVC apart, personally I think it’s the quickest and easiest way!! Cheers Drew
God, my wife has already wasted so much baking soda i could make cup cakes for the whole planet
Exactly!
so true
@drdhakan87 My mom too!😂😂😂
Great video. Thanks mate
My salutes to you you did a splendid job.....bravo.....
Thanks, I don't know about splendid. Thinking about it ... it was one of the most of disgusting drains I have ever opened up! Cheers Drew
thank you my kitchen sink pipes are smelly will try this and hopefully it will fix it thanks once again for a information video
Thank you!
No problems! Cheers Drew
Congratulations, you've made me nauseous with the floating black bits and bobs in your cleaning sink! That's actually quite an accomplishment! I usually have a very solid constitution in that respect.
Yep - it was pretty damn gross! When I walked into this property the stench was pretty bad, but I wasn't expecting it to be this bad!! Cheers Drew
Thanks for showing how to clean the water pipes.
No problem!
Tnq
Did that help remove the odors?
Absolutely, chalk and cheese mate. I’m not sure how the previous owners lived with it like it was!!! Cheers Drew
@@DrewFixIt great job 👏

Sure did! Cheers Drew

I have a question if anyone can answer for me. Do the pipes under your sink affect your washing machine? I've had a problem with my clothes smelling musty which has been going on for about a year. I even bought a brand new washing machine and I'm still having this problem with my clothes smelling musty. I've tried everything to the point where I'm considering calling the water board to come out and test my water, which would cost me more money. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks 👍
Hi Mate, is the drain of your washing machine by chance plumbed into the waste of your kitchen sink? Cheers Drew
@@DrewFixIt I think so mate. The hose from the back of the washing machine connects to the pvc pipes under the sink. Forgive my daftness please mate I don't know the first thing about washing machines. Thanks for the reply 👍
@@holdyourcolour1987 Hi Mate, no daftness at all, if you never ask you will never know and won't learn. So, washing machines don't always have valves to stop water flowing back into the machine so it is possible that you are getting sink water flowing back into your washing machine which is not the best. You need to make sure that the drain hose from your washing machine loops up as high as possible in the cupboard where it enters the PVC drain with the hose being held up at the top of the cupboard with a bracket. This will minimise the chance of water from the sink flowing into your dishwasher. Does this make sense? If not, I can perhaps film a quick #shorts of a dishwasher installation I just did for a friend to show you what I mean? Cheers Drew
@@DrewFixIt Thank you so much for the reply mate and sorry it took so long for me to write back. The hose from the washing machine is quite high up but it isn't held on by a bracket. Do you think I should get a bracket and fix the hose in place high up? Also if you have that video that would be awesome thanks! Another question as well, do you think I should remove the pvc pipes from under the sink and clean them like you have done and do you think this could also be the cause of smell on my clothes? The musty smell I'm getting from my clothes is doing my head in. I thought it was my old washing machine causing the problem as some mould had grown on the rubber seal in the door, but alas I am still having the same problem even with a brand new washing machine.
What chemicals can i use to avoid taking pipes off?
Hi Mate, I don’t recommend the chemical solutions! Cheers Drew
It will really stink because all of the gasses escape from the sink hole. That's why a trap is needed.
Our kitchen sink smells absolutely foul my husband took the pipes off and they were coated with a ripe foul smelling dark brown substance just gross and alot of it. He cleaned every pipe he could. We have a garbage disposal he thought seemed clean enough. All seemed ok but 2 weeks later the odor is even worse 😱
Hi, I suggest you have some more cleaning to do!! Note - those garbage disposal units were all the rage back in the 80s, however most people pull them out nowadays. Cheers Drew
@@DrewFixIt I agree definitely needs some cleaning and garbage disposal removed or replaced. The odor is just embarrassing. I used to think garbage disposals we're necessary but with all the odor we've had I don't even want to use it. We don't have much to put in it anyway just as easy to toss it in the garbage. Thank you for the advice 😊
Do you need to turn water off before removing the pipe under the sink?
@@meechie8993 no, just keep your tap turned off the whole time 😁😁😁
Maybe watching this straight after breakfast wasn't such a great idea...
🤮🤮🤮
Lol
I really hope that was an unused toilet brush.
🤮🤮🤮
@@DrewFixIt Right??? BTW: your name means "lucky wife" - I get to fix my own stuff, Drew.
@@kathyglass2922 yes, my wife thinks she is lucky!! Cheers Drew
@@DrewFixIt Do me a favor. Give her a kiss, and tell her today that you love her, and you feel lucky to have her in your life. Don't wait.
@@kathyglass2922 thanks for the advice, will do so! Cheers Drew
these cost 10 dolla at the store my friend
I understand your point, but three things 1/ knowing my luck it’s an obsolete size, configuration and/or thread 2/ surely this saves the planet by not putting more plastic to land fill? 3/ I reckon it’s quicker to clean than drive to the hardware store!! Cheers Drew
@@DrewFixIt i was kidding:P it is a little more depending on where you live, thank you for the content, was just looking what was causing the bad smell under two sinks in my villa, going to try and replace the whole drain and see what that does.
@@cryptoprepper1463 no problems! I must admit this one was the worst I have ever come across and was pretty gross! Good luck with yours :) Cheers Drew
we thank you , .... but it is gross !
lol ........ CHUNKS ! ........ LOL !
You got that right! Cheers Drew
Didn’t even wear gloves
I think my hands were in enough Handy Andy to kill off anything!!! Cheers Drew
Lol.... 😂😂😂
Seems like his bread and butter kinda thing
why don’t you just replace the pipes? haha it cant be that expensive can it🤷🏽♂️😂
Hi Mate, first you’ve got to drive to the store and second do we need more plastic waste? Cheers Drew
