You would think people would make the traps more accessible when they do renovations. That's ridiculous to have the traps hidden behind a wall; make a little DIY access door like they did years ago...nothing to make a plumber's job easier.

Or they say they have an access panel, but if their sweep needs servicing, then they are SOL. I started on drain cleaning when I started out my apprenticeship. I still do a lot of that work too. It's always interesting. I've had to rip up people's flooring they had just put down before. They're always like whatever, but I can see it on their faces it hurts a bit, but I try and educate them on what they can do to create an access panel, while still having a beautiful hardwood floor.

Always curious why the caps are banged off instead of with a pipe wrench? Is it because they are corroded on? I thought I saw threads. I always worry the trap will break while banging it! Great job as usual!

In my area (lower Ct) the final clean up would be done by a company like Servpro and the owner's insurance would pay for the bulk of it. They do remediation after fire, flood, broken pipes, etc. Who do you use in your area?

Similar companies.

I feel bad for you every time you’re faced with these tight locations. What was up with the drain cap though? Usually there is an internal lip to secure it down. This time it looked like you were hammering on a mason jar cap.

Was the original intent of the caps for them to be unscrewed and they got so corroded that plumbers just started popping them off?

@rupe53

Жыл бұрын

those caps are made with threads so they could be used either way, but the ones with the lead coating are strictly meant to be pounded into a non-threaded hub on cast iron pipe. The lead is soft enough that it makes a good seal.
