- I'm no expert - but I don't think water is supposed to be coming out of my light bulbs. The cool little snake camera I used is here: amzn.to/3kcOOTS Have you ever seen water coming from a light fixture?!

I love that another guy with all the tools and ladders winds up standing on chairs for the projects. Makes me feel better
ladder's too far
chair's there
;)
See a doctor.
I agree
thats because jerry riggs everything and we want it up to code lol
these short form, smaller house projects are good viewing
Also good to cover the cost of repairs. Win win
If you don’t have another story below you need to do concrete work instead of drywall. I guess better than damage to the kitchen cabinets and wooden flooring. Still I like the space that stories give.
I love how calm you remain throughout the entire problem solving process!
Ikr I’d be freaking out
are you supposed to be kicking and screaming the entire way?
Yeah I'm stressed just watching this 😅
That plumber is shitting bricks, you dont want to annoy agent 47
That’s hydro-power right there, isn’t it? 😁
I did this same repair with a shower with nothing but a cement slab underneath. Not a fun experience! Your drywall repair skills are really good by the way. Looks like new!
It feels like sometimes home owner / DYI has a negative connotation in the trades, but seriously, it doesn't seem like "professional" work is any guarantee either. I really feel like these days more and more home owners have to learn how to do this stuff, because I've found all sorts of "quirks" around my 5 year old home. Really cool watching you diagnose the problem. Good stuff.
Yeah exactly. If you act truly confident in your ability to understand and tackle the project after thorough research, I say it's always worth the time and effort to learn it yourself. Alot of things can be done pretty easily with just a bit of patience
Professional just means your paid to do it. Doesn't mean you're good at it, just means there's someone dumb enough to pay you.
@@Smeltz247 as a plumber you’re not wrong lol
@@Smeltz247 And you're dumb enough to buy a house instead of building one yourself, or paying a surgeon when you could perform medical procedures on yourself.
Who is to say Zack isn’t a professional? He seems to have been doing stuff like this all his life. This is probably one of the easier things he’s had to fix
I am a very “unhandy” homeowner, so I really value these videos. I am so appreciative when people share their knowledge of how to fix/repair things.
Thanks for the reminder that getting even small details right matter when doing any project. Luckily, the consequences of someone's careless error was limited to fairly simple repairs. Jess
100%. Shoddy craftsmanship and work ethic from the original plumber
Well that’s what you get with new construction homes. This isn’t the worst atrocity, believe me
finally he remembered the password for this channel
PLEASE POST MORE ON THIS CHANNEL. I love your handyman fixer content. Your jerryrig content, hehe. Please post more to inspire me to be a better handier man.
I've had to do this. Mine was slightly easier as I didn't have the "textured" ceiling. Nice job!! And informative!
I love these videos the most and I came to this channel for the tech, I love the amount of openness your channel is and how you'd rather solve a problem and gain knowledge, than pay for someone to do it and be none the wiser. Need more videos like this, unfortunately it usually comes at the cost of someones something, anything being damaged. While I wish that on no one, I love it when it happens to you because I know I'll get a video and some knowledge.
I feel for you. We had the same but the contractor ripped up the entire ceiling of our 1st floor living room and left it that way for 8 months before it was fixed. Wish we had a competent calm friend like you to diagnosis it at the time!
I was today's years old when I found out there are drain wrenches. I have a broken sink drain that I can tackle now! Thanks, Zack, for your sacrifice.
Glad i could help!
Some times they don't work and you need to break the flange off with a screwdriver and the knock the threaded part off.
You still need a pair of channellocks or other slip-joint pliers for the bottom side.
My old one was the ones with the long screw in the middle. My newer one i just user pliers to twist.
Excellent. We want more home repair videos from you Zack, please!
Thank you and greetings from Portugal.
Love the home improvement videos. Keep ‘em coming
I'm more amazed at no insulation in the floor, even if just for sound suppression.
Love the DIY video. Also, love the house interior. Very classy.
This is a helpful video. I had an identical bathtub leak last year. I went with a thicker silicone gasket from Home Depot and that solved my issue. Though I was lucky that the room it leaked into was another bathroom, so I installed a flush utility door and mounted a smart water sensor on the inside. No issues since!
In Greece when I installed something similar in my house the fitting that goes between the tub and the drain had a piece of rectangular putty between two sheets of plastic that goes where you put the o-ring . Plumbers usually put silicone instead and discard the putty.
Great video! This was very helpful!
thanks for update. missing your channel.
I had a similar issue at my house. Jacuzzi drain was criss threaded when installed. Tub would have to be removed to fix it so I put a ton of putty then silicone to cover it. The tub js grouted in. We still have water stains on the ceiling thinking it may happen again. So nice every time we use it we are weary.
I think this literally just happened to me last night and your video just popped up in my feed... Thanks for the video! I'm definitely going to try this fix before doing anything crazy like I was planning haha.
I just love how Cambry looks at you with ❤❤ eyes
Great Job Jerry!
I've fixed leaks like this a lot. I usually try to replace the tub drain first and avoid opening any holes because 90 percent of that time the issue is the tub drain.
Got the same issue but because the wind took off some decoratives planks outsides, that created a hole and when it was raining all the water would go out through the lamp of the kitchen
The endoscope is a pretty good idea to see what’s happening, thanks !
Nice job! That plumbers putty shrinks over time. It's not a good structural member- wasnt' designed to resist sideways forces. I did that repair on the tub and three sinks at my old (1957) house you've been to.
Wow I have the same features as you and I found a quick fix for it, it's just a good old bucket under it, it's saves water so you can water plants and stops water from running around the house
Why do we love watching Jerry fix things so much?
Life saver!!! Just came across this issue last night…and I’m absolutely sure it’s the same problem.
It's alive.... It's aliiiiiive... the channel is still alive
We've had issues with the toilet and bathtub drain above our dining room. We had access panels installed below the tubs drain and the toilet so that if we ever had any more leaks we could catch the drip in time.
Good thing you took action for it quickly.
My family actually had the same thing happen a few years ago- leaking bathtub drain, water leaked into light fixture on room below. We waited too long and the drywall in the ceiling collapsed. Glad this didnt happen to you!
I love stuff like this, GREAT content!
lookin nice and relaxed even with a leak!!
First time seeing this channel of yours Zack
Gotta say i like watching Zack the handy man!
id suggest sealing that underside at that 90 degree elbow with some silicone as well, it helps give you a second layer of defense against leaks incase the putty fails
Same exact thing happened to me, the drain piece was plastic and I must have torqued it too hard and the plastic cracked so water was just leaking down under the lip. Never good having a waterfall in the living room. I made sure the replacement one was metal and full diameter so I didn't have to use the plastic thread extender
i dont know if the sequence of events was the same as it seemed in the video, but if anyone is opening up drywall for this kind of fix, when you are done you may want to take those 3 test baths BEFORE you put the drywall back up and mud and tape and texture and paint.
The rental we have in cyprus gets water coming out the lights now and again after heavy rain, they are sealed conduits in poured concrete, and no idea where it comes from!
This just happened to me a year ago except it was the overflow that was disconencted. Easy fix.
This is such a coincidence! We had the same exact problem in our house a couple of days ago. There was a problem with the water supply and it was leaking and the water came out from the lights above our island. This makes me question coincidences!
Awesome you did this yourself. You could've easily just called someone to fix it for you. Great work!
Woooowww!!! You know how useful it would be everyone made a video LIKE THIS everytime something weird broke we would all be 1998989 times more equip!
So good! Thank you!!!
Pretty much had the same issue this weekend. Show drain. Same thing
This man can do it all
These are my favorite videos!
yay, this channel is back, pls post more
I like this home maintenance with Jerry series.
☝️Let’s talk via the username☝️
I’ve got something for you..📱📱📱
Plz jerry keep this channel Alive
Oscillating power tools. Nice! Hopefully there wasn't too much damage.
Almost doesn't look like anything was done! Way to go.
I had that too from my bedroom fan! Mine was from ice dams
Not the safest water feature, great fix, looks great Zack, cheers from Melbourne Australia
It's interesting to see that the bathtub drain goes straight into the floor, making the water lock inaccessible without cutting up the roof.
This is exactly what happen in our house. thank you for this video.
Now thats a feature nobody asked for but as we can see, suprprises come from many places. And i guess the plaster roof takes those scratches at level 1 and deeper ones at level 2 ;)
We need more jerryrigging on this channel, Zack
What a handy man!
here in sweden we have the requirements to put a floor drain and conncet the bathtub drain to that. it makes it more secure for future leaks. Our regulations is kind of an other league here :S
Happy to see that you didnt have bigger issues, you guys should be happy. WP
Good fix and super nice spatula! 👍

I’ve got something for you..📱📱📱
Love this
Idk why
Such a calm guy
Years and years ago I lived in an apartment that had 2 closets in bedroom; A small coat closet and a walk-in. There was a water line running above the ceiling over the coat closet right over the light fixture. Bare old fashioned incandescent bulb. The pipe slow-leaked for months, I didn't catch it until the mildew smell started (I didn't use that closet). Somehow the BULB got halfway filled with water!! Had it for a long time as a souvenir, to this day I couldn't tell you how water got IN the bulb but not one drop ever came back out of it. It was freaking weird!
Nice job. ❤❤❤
These low effort but more personal posts are just as cool you guys! :)
I don't trust the putty. I've had 2 of these leaks. One happened only when the line was clogged and it leaked 30 ft away. I suspected a nail in the top of the pipe somewhere but never found it. The second was in the washer overflow pan that the builder missed one glue joint and initially tried to claim "they pop loose with age" but warranted for me when I showed them the dry pipe connection. Good work on your repair!
Been here a few times with different rentals. Try tightening the drain first, usually works sometimes tighten overflow.
I was thinking what's Jerry up to now crazy lovely man, kitchen shower lamp lol
man for real jerry rig, gg
You should do a video on mold. It would be very educational for you.
This happened to me too, I don’t think the plumbers putty in the threads is the issue, the putty can just dry out and crack overtime also with the fiberglass tub that can flex when you step into it makes the cracked putty even more loose. I also put Teflon tape on the drain threads to make sure it wasn’t coming out of the threads
I'm not plumber either, however have had this issue before and on top of replacing the drain, adding silicone around the underside of the drain which screws into the tub was an additional step we took and so far so good :)
If leaking is absolutely not an option then use 3M 5200 below the waterline marine sealant. It is pricey. But it works. I personally don't trust anything else. Though I've tried a few other things occasionally. Have seen them all fail too.
I would have used just some plumbers putty. And it's common for the putty to get in the threads while tightening
Watching this video reminded me, what happened to the log cabin you worked on years ago?
It's weird that they installed the bathtub without an access panel on the wall behind it. I thought that was standard practice.
But I guess if they're using plumber's putty as thread tape, they're probably doing some other weird things.
not sure i've ever noticed an access panel for a bathtub, is that universal code, or local?
seems like an access panel is something to be added when you need it the first time
my apartment has a wind blowing trough electrical outlets. really annoying in winter.
Don't feel bad, just did the same repair at our daughter's house. 2nd Floor shower drain was over the kitchen sink light so she also had a water feature. Wallboard repair took longer than fixing the drain.
A lot of installs call for adhesive caulk instead of plumbers putty now because it can fail.
Probably not the easiest to replace, but I always add some silicone for good measure around the drain. Never had a Drain leak on me after that.
Had something similar happen at a new house we were finishing the final on. Turns out the guy who installed the fixture upstairs didn’t tighten the supply line onto the angle stop for the upstair faucet. It was just barely hand tight. Easy fix for me but the drywall guy and electrician were less than thrilled. Also had a similar tub situation but luckily downstairs. Whoever did the drain at the rough in didn’t glue the fittings together properly and the customer ended up with a flooded pantry and hallway. Oh the stuff you run into… 🤦♂️
Its being a minute since we had a video on this channel its intresrimg to see how plumbing is done in the US appose tot he UK
Heh I discovered the flexible metal air vent from the bathroom was causing the can light to cool down enough to cause condensation to form and pool in the light surround until it overflowed into my kitchen. After a mad panic to figure out what happened (I assumed a toilet leak) I swapped over to the led replacement down lights and that fixed the problem. The sealed light and bezel means no air is mingling and causing condensation.
Nice patch work I must say though😀
ahh the joys of home ownership. been there many times myself!
I think if I saw that in my house I would have just started crying. Watching this made me feel like if you just keep a level head you can solve anything.
I swear I didn't even know this was a different channel until today when watching Zack say "we haven't posted on this channel in a while".
As youtube always showed me the videos I thought it was from the main channel.
i had this exact issue, but it had been a tiny leak for months and destroyed a whole lot of the roof.
Hi zack, I noticed you also facing same plumber putty leakage issue. I was facing same issue on 3 out 5 of my wash basins at home. I call the plumber and tell him what have you done but he was like no it's done this way only. I called another 2 plumbers they also say we also uses plumber putty only then give up and takes the matter in my own hand and re do all the drains with silicone sealant. It's been 5 years now and no leakage in any of them till the date.
Cool repair Pro Zack did very easily but it was not a easy job ZacksFixEverything! 🛠️
similar thing happened to me, still havent fixed the kitchen ceiling 10 years later.
You sure got that taken care of quick, I’ve seen where homeowners have just lived with it and allowed the damages to get so much worse
We miss these kind of videos and. Cambry of course.
Nice home repair video.
Zack turns a leak into a nice video with ASMR features
welcome back
Plumber here. It hurt watching you cut that sheetrock because I knew it was just the putty seal. However, I must say that was a really clean repair! Great job!!
i am not even a plumber or even part of any construction trade and it hurt me watching them cut the sheet rock knowing that it was the putty seal that failed
this is the reason you always want to have access to the pluming on the other side of the wall from a tiny door or access panel.
