  • Almost done with with my work day, I get a Emergency repair call…. But it’s on a septic truck. And that’s right. I have to crawl inside to make the repair. I’ve feared this day would come. Today is the day, I get down and dirty doing a welding repair on this sewage truck. This one was a joy to edit but a nightmare to make. I hope you enjoy it! Welding repair has never been so shitty!

      it comes down to the main fact that if he doesnt put his foot down and do it properly to his liking and half asses it like the customers always want, turns into a nightmare of customer complaints and them trash talking you when the job failed like you told them it would lol

      I agree . The last thing he needs is to find out that the septic company was written up for an environmental hazard violation for a leak ,,or,worse and then they try to come down on him for the repair job and try to attach him for a suit . Maybe they can’t but why go through the attempts and sopoenas and have your name dragged unfairly . I don’t blame him one bit . It’s a trade job for a professional and it needs to stay a trade job , for professionals . A good welder will never be satisfied with their last job . A welder I spoke of here on this channel always said after laying a bead , “ good enough for a government job “ . Nothing he ever welded broke . He had my respect always .

    When you really need a pump out, it's actually a happy sight to see one of these trucks. Kinda cool to know what it takes to maintain them. The thing with welding is: whatever is on your piece, it's going to get volatilized and airborne with all the heat. It's nice to see you protecting your respiratory health, though. This is actually one of the best videos you ever did. Appreciate the hard work that went into making it.

    Worked on a job one time at refining company replacing and repairing some piping. They took dead animals, mostly cows, that dairys and farms would drop off and ground them up, separating bone from tissue and refining the fats and oils to use for commercial and industrial products, makeup, fertilizer, etc. We had two fitters and two welders while cutting, fitting, and welding the pipe. Not because it was a large diameter pipe (it was only 4"). It allowed the welders and fitters to take throwup breaks and switch out to keep the work flowing. The sludge that came out of those pipes was the foulest thing I've ever smelled in my life. Not to mention, it would spray all over the poor fitter that was cutting the pipe. You couldn't escape the smell because there were dead bloated animals in piles just 20 ft away roasting in the summer sun. Sometimes, they would pop and hiss from the gasses that built up in the carcasses. I will never ever work on anything like that again, sewage included. I'll drag up on that job on the spot. Mad respect, Anthony, your part of dying breed of real men.

    The job needs done! A good scrubbing in hot water with diluted bleach, you'll be cleaner than they day you were born!
    When I was going to college I worked at a fast-food place. A couple of times a month the restaurant had a septic guy come in and clean out the big plumbing grease trap. It was always a very early morning job way before we opened for the lunch crowd.
    Anywho, after a few months of this route I got to know the septic guy. He was a thin built man with a shaved head. The shaved head kept his end-of-the-day personal clean-up effort to a minimum. I pointed out it's a rather odd occupation.
    He goes, "Yeah, not a lot of folks can stomach the filth and the smell. You get used to it, though. But, the filth and smell keeps everyone away. I'm my own boss with my own rig (vacuum truck) and if things keep going they way they're going, I'll sell the business and retire comfortably at 50."
    Do what the other guys are unwilling to do!

    Once had to wear a hazmat suit and crawl into a crawl space under a restaurant where the sewer and drain pipes has been tied up to flimsy supports that rusted out. The pipes busted and had been dumping that crap into the crawlspace for a while. The crawl space was maybe 4ft high with a good foot of muck on the floor. We had to erect new supports so the plumbers could come in and fix the pipes. By far the worst job I've ever done.
