I think this is from the video where he leaves a seized plunger in the drain and just tries to snake around it. If anyone else has that problem and is trying to solve it without opening a wall: a long sprinkler key is the ideal tool to twist it and break it loose, the super cheap ones under $10 work best because they are flimsy enough to bend their way down to it. Soaking it in CLR or heat shocking it with boiling or steam can also help break it loose to where you can fish it out with a bit of hooked wire. If you can get the plunger out, you can properly pull up the clog with the snake instead of possibly just sending further down the pipes to where it might be harder to eliminate.

Good too know for trouble shooting a problem like that for the water flow.

Nice work!!

how the hell is going to clean the drain with a snake if the barrel is stuck in the way, the guy is an ASS HOLE!

This is shit, he did nothing but get the plunger stuck in the drain, he fucked up and did not take care of the problem.

This was horrifying work!!!!!

Baby birds

Thats called, retention head

Nice, im in my bath rn

Is fostapex and pex-al-pex the same?

Nice, makes the problem worse and probably charges over $200. He broke the stopper while plugging the drain and made no attempt to fix that problem. I'm not even sure how he was able to snake past it to get some drainage? But will clog again quickly with the limited drain opening.

The level of confidence increases when you know how things work. Now I can change mine. Great video thanks a lot !!!

Yeah why he snaking it like that why not pull out the barrel

this rocks

Why did you guys use a commercial meter in a residential application

What did the curb box cost to replace?

Handsome work, guys. but let's be straight, the old boiler was "serviceable". It might have been "40yrs old" but that Beckett burner wasn't original, it had definitely been replaced within that period of time, and i doubt many of the other serviceable bolt-ons like exp tank, flue pipe, relief valves, etc, were original. The Biasi is more efficient than the old unit, no question. That old boiler had a DHW coil in it, which are def inferior, but it can be negated and an indirect used instead. Nonetheless, nice clean work here.

Thank you for some interesting stories and a glimpse into your life. Would’ve been nice to actually have some instruction how to do repairs.

Did you shut off water supply or just burner/boiler

That happened at my place and I have no idea how to get it out there’s a plumber going tomorrow and I am scared what he’s gonna charge me to fix it

its nice to be in an attic with a lot of head room

Wouldn't be better to put in a better valve, at least one that can easily fixed with replacement cartridge?

How much would a service like this normally cost? I’m having the exact same problem with my mixing valve, but I was quoted close to $900 for a repair.

What happens if the lever is super loose I think the stopper detached to be honest. What happens if it detaches does a plumber have to come get it out

Not really how are you removing the plunger from the waste? I usually took a wire and was able to grab the plunger after time. What did you do?

Skip ahead to 6:25 to get past the B.S.

So the stopper and the head of the snake was in the drain pipe, how was he able to get the snake pass the broken off head and the stuck stopper?!

fun fact. rigid doesn’t make these…i’m not going to dox myself but my father’s company does and sells them to Rigid.

Then why do they come with them

Ahahahah holy cow that's a nice attic I wouldn't care how hot it is that is A LOT of space to work with Fellow installer here. I can change a split system out of a tight attic with one other guy and started up and adjusted in around 3-6 hours.

Looks like you do a great job but you can't put Teflon tape on the probe threads needs metal to metal contact to boiler casting

Don't buy that piece of crap with the bucket stopper. It always gets stuck and never works. Just buy the one with the pop up. Trust me

Well I got the barrel out (not in). I was lucky but I give credit to my steamer and I spray steam down the drain and it loosen up. I am surprise that these plumbers do not have an inspection camera with them. Mine did and it made a difference.

I have this problem now. My barrel is stuck. The plumbers I called broke the barrel off and then told me it was unfixable and gave me a $200 bill. It's true when you get old, people take advantage of you. I call another LICENSED plumber today and I'll show him this video if he tells me its not fixable. Thanks.

Well done! 😎

My tub won’t drain. I took this all apart and even tried cleaning out the drain but the water still won’t go down

I have a frozen overflow valve stuck. I was trying to pull it up with a strong metal rod but unable to. Now i have hotspot on the floor near my bathtub. Could i have bursted hot water pipe in the process? What do you think? Is it a coincidence? Thanks

I had a water problem in the celler, the ceiling was dripping water, I thought it was a underfloorheating pipe that leaked. My son insisted that I call a leakage finding company because it was complicated to judge the situation. It was a loose bathtub drain. Thanks for explaining and showing a housewife a video, we would like to know what is going on in our homes and the precautions to take. Be blessed.

Question for anybody when your air conditioner units in the Attic it gets too hot does your blower stay on

What are the specs of the power supply in Volts and Amperes? I have a unit running on battery but don't think I should pay $35 for a $5 power supply.

How many installers see a problem with what they did with the flex

Had the exact same issue ... I used a wired hangar.... Problem solved!

Only an idiot homeowner would ask such a ridiculously stupid question Probably a guy that never actually had to work a real job

I'm no plumber but you've taught me some very valuable stuff budb

In metric is 1 kilogram per litre of water

Can you show how you connected the two ground rods to the meter?

They make a tool for this as well. It's 1/2 on one side and 3/8 on the other (for angle stop valves that are compression)

Idk but try to use European shower head, mabe yall Like it

I mean... it's good to cycle the tank also... that's looked very rusty, and now their softner/reverse osmosis/purifier/filters will last longer... assuming you're putting clean water in 😂
