These guys are the unsung heroes that keep our daily lifes comfortable yet some of these guys are the lowest paid employees in America right now. This has to end. I am a surveyor and personally know alot of good dudes only making $15 or less its horrible.
@@noneya1987 Depends on which ones you use I suppose. I've completely submerged a dewalt impact during water main fixes, battery and all. The batteries survive a couple underwater dives, but the drill itself is still working today
Around by me, they find the leak, then shut the water off, then dig the hole and start making the repair, then back fill the hole and turn the water back on again. The water will have some dirt and crap in it for the first few minutes though.
Awesome job!!! I love live services , especially on a hot day 🍻🍻

I need to get me one of those wrenches! Good work fellas!
Stellams wrenches. They're great but expensive
It's a Reed wrench. Not too expensive. $100
Hello from France, we do the same job!
That is begging to cave in. Be careful boys
In Qatar we excavat by hands with shavel only.an fix.v.j cupling or c clamp.so sad🥴
are they allowed to wear those waders sockless?
Fine job boys 👍👍
Love the shoring.....
The sad thing is. I work for a city and we aren’t required to wear PPE or have a ladder
You're working for the wrong city. We usually have shoring too but it was quite shallow here so we just went with a larger hole
Can’t afford an impact I guess🤣
How long would an impact last getting dripping wet all the time? My money goes on not very long.

Si chiama Zucchetti , la liberta' , di fare con l'acqua tutto cio' che ti va !! 😅😅
Where the fuck is their eye pros?!
The smart thing to do would be to shut the water off first, then do the repair.
You have to work it under pressure to reduce the chances of back siphoning anything into the water main. The main problem is trenching and shoring.

Doesn’t always work that way.
Fixing it under pressure keeps the public safe from back siphonage. Your welcome.
well its not a leak. its an old saddle for a water service. no need to shut the water off for that. I've done many of them. you get wet but thats ok
