Right on Mike Urig

I was a landlord and “maintain the property” who you kidding. How about return the property with normal wear and tear. I got out of the business. I couldn’t stand ignorant tenants- can’t change a light bulb, or a battery in a smoke detector, or plug toilets with toys, wreck garbage disposals with spoons, overflow dishwashers because they don’t rinse the plates, put dish soap in a dishwasher, move a dryer to get at clothes they dropped and knock the dryer vent off and have it venting in the apartment, call and wonder where the humidity and lint that is coating the living room is coming from. Leave 12 air filters for the furnace and explain I will change the filter every month and call ahead or you can do it. We will do it so I show them pull the old one out and insert the new one. 6 months later, we have no heat, send Steve out there at 100.00 an hour to tell me the filter is plugged and he changes it. Or, every door screen or window screen has a hole in it from the kids or dogs tearing at them and the tenant complains bugs are coming in. You tell them they were brand new when they moved in and it costs 45-60 bucks to fix each one. How many do they want to pay for to have fixed. They respond none. It’s all good, I would get their deposit and other cases I would take them to court and get more. Parents let their kid play with black spray can and he spray painted the outside wall. Should I maintain the wall due to the parent’s ignorance. I was a renter at one time and I never lost a deposit because I respected the property that’s all simple respect.

It's a pain to carry aroud but...a wet dry vac to exstract big clumps of hair from tub drain. I have 52 tubs. 80% of the clogs are within 12 inches from drain.. Just a suggestion.

I must say. Your vids are making plumbing interesting for me. Makes me want to work on my house. Great channel mr.steve

I love it when he said, "This guy is tighter then 2 coats of paint". "Why would you wear gloves". HAHA! 🤣

yeah the patch job on the wall is next level Steve LOL

"I know this guy, he's tighter than 2 coats of paint"! Sounds like a Rodney Dangerfield line! Outstanding!

Boy,this is very tough drain,to work on Steve, some things shood be left undone.just kept running into trouble.but you are the best at what you do Steve! keep the tapes coming,you are the best at it . thank for all you do!!!you are great trouble shooter kept up the good work,and take care of baby dog for me!!!!!!!she is a dancer mama!!!!

Steve I love the suction tool your using . I bought one some years back from a mom and pop supply house . It has paid for its self 10 fold . If I had to put an amount on it , it's made me thousands of dollars. I don't use it as much these days doing strictly commercial service .

I work for a Management Co. and for the past 10 years I've been at a 150 unit property which means I see a lot of clogged sinks and bathtubs. I've found some crazy things in the drain lines over the years. The baby wipes are the worst even though they say flushable on the package they are not. The last one I had the guy said the toilet was leaking at the base It sure was and backing up in the tub. We have to take pictures of stuff like this. The toilet alone had 14 of the wipes in it that's not counting the ones wrapped around the cable on the Sparten 100 we used the clear the line. So you can say it's a shitty job But somebody has to do it.

I’ve never wanted to see someone use a “Zip It”, more in my life!

gotta get me one of those water vac thingys can't find em anywhere. great vid as always steve

Man!!! All your oldschool shit still works damn. For the glove haters: some of us dont like to get dirtying regardless of how dirty or “simple” the task is. 2. It ain’t my house! Lord knows what the hell lyes on that surface.

Damn Steve, we're still trying to figure out why you wear gloves? Lmao

good job thanks steve

I had this same problem in an old house from the 50s . What worked for me was a dry & wet vacuum . Put it on vac and plug around the end of the flex tubing with a wet rag . Kept sucking until the was no more hairs in the pipe . I did this to every drain port and cleared the plumbing system . It really surprised me how great it worked . With a small amount of work afford .

I use a old coat hanger wire that I put a hook in to get the hair out of those tub drains. Fits easier than the pliers for me.

Gotta love the duct tape finish work! 😆

THANKS FOR TEACHING me 👍

Yeah Steve those style flappers come in the new American Standard Cadet toilets we install . Have had a few flappers bubble like that , crap flapper .

I just saw this video. I feel your pain. I’m a landlord and I had a call from my tenant “I got a blocked up tub”. What I pulled out of that drain looked like a dead squirrel 🐿 so 🤮 gross! Hair mixed with Ajax powder scrubbing cleaner. Yeah I wore gloves and a chemical suit! Lol

Good work makes for a satisfying video. That toilet flapper was rotted. I have been a DIY plumber from time to time. I was in a hotel room whose toilet leaked so the thing had to refill every 10 or 15 minutes [driving me nuts]. The water at the hotel was hard depositing a mineral crust on the flapper. To quiet the thing, all I had to do was break off crusted minerals. I had been at a wedding anniversary in a church annex. All the toilets were running due to overfilling above the outflow pipe. I bent the flush-to-flapper bars so most of them quit wasting water. Many of those problems -- not all -- can be readily fixed.

The gloves comment, I'm dieing. 😁😁😁😁😁

pretty sick turkey bones Steve. Glad you had to do it instead of me .LOL

Ahhh Geez, Edith- A Flex drain on day pipe there!

Tech Tip Mama, when you can hear the toilet flush through the open lavatory drain the drain is clear. Exception is if the lavatory is revented and the obstruction is downstream. Invest in drophead cable end. Next Level Mama

Hello Steven, Is the hydroblaster an own construction? It works very well.

great job at the end when bring out the machine and blasted a floating tissue paper into the drain, after removing all the hairs.

Nice of you to fix the toilet now the water bill will go down maybe he will only be tighter than three coats of paint.

nice test rig. run in revers to go down the drain

30:38 now that's a plunger I need for my toilet!

One thing to suggest Steve is that get one of those scopes with a camera. Kind of like we use in the medical field like an endoscope. But those cost money, dealing with those slumlords that are tight wont budge paying for a service like that.

That's what he needs but those aren't cheap to buy. If his cheap boss started doing a upgrade with the equipment, that would be a "BRIGHT" start.🙂

I read somewhere the constant exposure to chlorine attacks and degrades the flapper material over time, same with toilet tank bolt seals and the disc seals in the fluidmaster and similar toilet fill valves - they all seem to end up in a similar fashion after awhile. thank God for modern plumbing parts and materials, longer lasting, easier to service and replace than the older materials. I have yet to see a good quality PVC drain trap rot out like the chrome steel ones, though unlike home center stuff the better quality chrome steel from a supply house is a very nice piece that will last many years. I would have hated to been a plumber in the days of all galvanized and cast iron, having to cut and thread all that galvanized on a new house etc.

That Hydro Blast, it seems, would work for sink clogs as well, no?

you should get a drop head for the snake so it goes down,don't have to worry about it going up the vent

Do you do any high end work as well?.

Steve, always learning some tips from you. Good thing you wear gloves, could be some nasty shit going there.

He gave it the OL HOW DO U DO !!!¡¡😅😅😅😅😅😅

Those Flex Tailpiece's are a pain in the @ss, they collect soap scum & hair in the flex accordion.

Question Steve? When you use the compressed air to blow the lines, will to blow out the other waste drain down steam? Just asking.

What do you record with and what kind of tripod do you use to hold your device up.

Hey Guy, your old school techniques are the GREATEST, but maybe you could have benefited from having a camera on this job, huh?

Steve, did you made your own water pump?

You really gave it the old gundy Steve...and I hope the lady saw fit to leave you a bit of that drain change knowing what a tightwad old two coats can be

who ever said to you 'why would you were gloves' got more air time than Alex Trebek

That's some real nasty shit there Steve, no way in hell could i do that on a day to day basis. Great job doing what you do.

that landlord needs to fix his stuff . Oh mama hes a real working man

Oh mama need a hazmat suit mama

I had the same problem. How do you get better water pressure from the shower head? The water comes out strong for the tub but not for a shower.

I once used a store snake to clear up a slow drain in a rental. I was there less than 3 weeks and when I snaked it so much hair from the previous tenant was in the pipes.n

Unbelievable you wear gloves. Who would've thought...

That got your snake dirty. Poor snake will need a hepatitis vaccine I think.

I been doing your job for most of my working life,in Uruguay,Venezuela and Canada. Now I am poor and happily retired and I know well what you are going through. A doctor once toll me that there are two professions where people become immune to almost anything : pediatrics and plumbing. Nevertheless I used to wear industrial gloves,up to my shoulders,when I had to deal with this kind of situations,even though don't eat with your fingers until you take a shower. Greetings from Toronto.

By the way, if you have it apart, you can flush the toilet and listen in the pipe to verify it is clear. Save you the trouble of testing the open pipe with water.

Some people wait for problems to get worse a good cleaning may help that bathroom also

i need to get myself one of those little hand pumps we live in a sixplex and the bathrooms are back to back built in 1911 and so we share the same drain pipe as our neigbors on there sink tub and toilet the sink constantly clogs up cus of shit going down the drain on both sides
