Thanks for video Chuck! I have old galvanized coming from street to house with old shut off gate that is in bad shape. I had a pro press shut off added just above it. One bad move and I'll be digging to the street. Over the years I have had 3 plumbers tell me just don't even look at it, lol. I replaced everything else with copper from basement to second floor. I plan on having sewer line replaced in next 5 years and figure I'll have a new water line run then. Sewer guy said there is a high reality that water line will snap when they refill after doing sewer line so digging anther 3 feet over is cheaper than re digging.
yes that is the plan. I had basement waterproofed and sewer back flow preventer put in and old maple tree taken out on curb lawn then water jetted line. Had some pretty horrific storms since then and no sewer water so hoping to hold off a couple more years.
Interior water proof. with dual sump and battery back up then some minor work outside. Full front and back porch, concrete drive and 5 feet of space with an over hang wall on other side would have cost a fortune to do outside. The company did the job right but I really lost my temper on day 3. 4 knuckleheads. I went down and they were just dumping old material in center. You couldn't move down there. Coke cans and food wrappers and banana peels on floor then I seen they laid there jack hammer on top of my less than 6 month old expensive washer and dryer. I used curse words most people never heard of. I was pretty upset. 2 hours later another 4 guys showed up and you could eat off the floor, lol.
it's been repaired to the left already and then leaking over there also. I'd be looking to see how much of it I could replace or alternate total new plumbing routes without building destruction. of course cheapo repair is an option, but most of the ones I've seen that way end up leaking as you touch them to clamp or shortly after anyway, paper thin junk. luckilt here most things that age have a full unfinished basement, so you can just "slam" in new pipe
The clamp used on the pipe in this video, was used to stop a 'pinhole' leak. If the pipe had a larger hole, or even a small hairline crack, wold this type of clamp still be useful to stop the leak?
Hey man I enjoy your videos. I have a few nephew I've trained over the years and was wondering if you show the the ins and out of billing a job? I usually tell them how I'm going to bill out a job after we finish up and randomly ask how they would bill some jobs.
Hey CB1, my eldest son is moving to Madison, possibly need a honest plumber and it’s a little far for a service call from myself from Cincinnati . Are you anywhere close to Madison?
for those clamps, better off putting them with the hinge/bolts 90 degree away from the leak, that's where they have the best clamping force and can be snugged if the rubber settles in time, in which it does ;0 those band clamps are more forgiving though.
@@retiredguy43 they're usually listed as "pipe repair clamps" or "galvanized pipe repair clamps" and only meant for temporary repair on old galvanized, steel and brass pipe carrying water. I've seen some that was in place at least 30 years, the pipe had many of them everywhere, someone just wasn't wanting to replace it I guess. of course I replaced it!
Great job I enjoy your videos awesome seeing dad teaching his young son's how to do plumbing
thanks Luciano
thanks for tuning in.
Easy quick fixe cb2 should take a day off today love it.
I am off today from plumbing...In fire house for 24hrs of noise....ha

Oh lord Im not even looking at it from here. Ha. Maybe do em both at once. One time dig. Just a thought

Ah CB2 cooperate for Daddy. Loving the giggles. Here goes another satisfied subscriber.
All fun and games till someone loses an eye....ha
How much do you charge for a job like this?
It might help if you could tell us what clamp
When you have a repair clamp within a foot of a dresser coupling, (2 temporary fixes close together) it's time to replace pipe.
I agree Joe Joe. On a third floor bath of an owner who is not pulling that trigger we do what we gotta do.
In theory, yes. But not every customer is going to be convinced or willing-financially. Like CB1 says we do what we gotta do
Nice and easy, awsome! Job sir. I was waiting to see what cb2 had up his sleeve, but he don't even have sleeves.
Thanks A...
What’s the size of that clamp?
Depends on pipe size.
Nice video. Do you prefer the clamp in this video over the hinged type clamps?
Also, who makes the clamp used in this video?
CB-1 we need to get you a set of ratcheting wrenches. Remember time is money. Peace brother
M, that set was three stories away but I will bring er up next time...lol

the slam dunk coming. I just gotta lace up my nike's and be ready to ball.
Can you use flex tape?
No sir.

you gotta do what you gotta do CB, nice job with the clamp, should last!
oh this was the easy way out for sure.

Sure. especially if your gonna send him on his own. Needs to know the numbers so all does not run through you....with phone calls ect.. good luck.
I cut the rusty water line galvanized how do I stop it from leaking when I repair it with PVC
Hey CB1, my eldest son is moving to Madison, possibly need a honest plumber and it’s a little far for a service call from myself from Cincinnati . Are you anywhere close to Madison?
NJ? I think thats North Jersey. Lets network and get the young buck a good plumber...
Crazy that water in attic with no signs of insulation! Winter comes your way every year how does this not freeze? Hit me back big Daddy
Big daddy here...100 year old house.
CB2...come on...give us 1 good "AND THERE GOES ANOTHER SATISFIED CUSTOMER!"
Yes.....CB2 step it up my man.

those band clamps are more forgiving though.
for some reason your comments coming in my spam box...not sure why. anyway I like this clamp. I just hope it likes its new daddy......lol
What type of claps are these?

It bothers me that y'all don't wear seatbelts.
buckle up....
That'll be $400 please, lol.
Mickey mouse job.
PLEASE! Keep your tools OFF the customer's furniture! Respect their property!
Infraction...oh boy....yes Paul for sure.
Ford Meter Box and several others make those clamps in a full circle version. Also a little pipe lube on the gasket is a good idea
