I love your videos. I wish all plumbers were as knowledgeable.

Just fixed a mess just like this today for a 90 year old Neighbor. Took me most of the day and it was dumping into the dishwasher while it was clogged. I ran the snake many times and then had to make a straight pipe connection and by-pass the garbage disposal and dishwasher put it together and plunge the living daylights out of it before the clog broke lose. I might go back and adjust their dishwasher drain as I know it was not all the way up to the top of the sink for sure. I am happy I just came home and saw this Video. Great job and you made it fun. Thanks

I like the way you keep up the conversations with the customers, that is the good salesman in you.

Brings back bad memories for sure....Was trying to help out my neice, "....can you just replace a leaky water valve for me under the bathroom sink?....." Went downhill from there....The pipe broke off inside the bathroom wall when I removed the leaky valve....Needless to say, the bathroom was tiled and the supply pipe was cemented to the sub floor! And now I know what happens when you mess with brass supply lines....Did not want to solder inside the wall so used one of those oring elbows...Finally, after a few days of work, valve was fixed but sink backed up due to all the banging/chiseling to bust out the tile! I must have snaked 20 feet with no luck, finally figured out I had snaked out the vent line! Sure learned a lot the hard way.....Now, after watching your videos, I see the is a tool that may have extracted that broken supply pipe threads....

You deserve every dollar you make. I’ve cleaned my share of clogged drains and always hated it. Working in a confined space with filthy pipes is not as easy as you make it look. Good job.

Great job Steve. Lots of muck and rust in those old pipes. My grandmother lived in a house that was built in '55. When she was alive I was going over there every few months to snake rust and muck from the upstairs bathroom and kitchen sinks to get them to flow. Finally when I had time off I hacked both pipes off in the basement and ran PVC up and to both drains. Those old pipes were 75% clogged with crap! No more issues after that!

sounds like the best fix .if there loaded with grease sometimes you have no choise but cut them out

That was wonderful to watch. Thank you so much! I learned so much! Thanks again and again! I think I love you! and your doggie! Wish you were the one doing my under the sink right now, instead of me. I'm just a girl , but I have a couple of drain snakes, thankfully, that I've never ever used before... I bought a kit for replacing the plumbing under the sink. It looked so good! But it wouldn't drain! Re did it 3 times. Then went back to the set up that someone else put in before we bought this house. It didn't drain either.... So now I Guess I'll have to figure out how to use my snakes to clean the drain? It's a crazy life ,learning to be a plumber. But I'm a girl that loves puzzles, and solving problems, so I know I'll figure it out eventually, thanks to YOU!. sigh... here I go again.... Haven't been able to use my sink for a WEEK! Yikes! I'm going in! one more times! Please come to my house in Atlanta and help me, if I can't fix it myself?!

Thanks for the awesome tutorial!! Just snaked and cleared the drain.

Hello Steve, learning a lot from you. Thanks for the post.

Thank you followed your instructions it's now cleared and everything is put back ship shape and tidy!

Thanks man, I did exactly how you said and my drains are flowing... thank you ...

Nice job! Only thing that I cringed at was when you used a hose off the stop valve to verify. I used to do the same thing until I had a stop valve that for some reason wouldn't shut back off and the drain was still stopped up. Luckily I had a bucket and knew where the shut off was for the house

I felt the same way, when I saw him rig up the temporary hose. Maybe put another valve on the temp hose, exactly for the reason you explained. ( in case the house valve becomes defective as you are using it.)

Also noticed that he replaced dishwasher drain with smaller hose. Was he out of proper size hose? Good plumber should know better to not go smaller and longer. I don't like that.

I loved the hose connectioned to the supply line were can I buy the hose part?

The argument for creating a high loop (or air gap) in the dishwasher drain line is to keep the dirty sink water out of the dishwasher altogether.

Thanks for your amazing videos..very helpful. I bought and used a Husky 25 ft auger cable. I used all 25 feet and my kitchen sink is still clogged. What size cable can I used up to on my 2" drain. i.e . Will a 5/8 cable work on my 2" kitchen drain. Thank you sir.

Super ❤️❤️

My 2 inch pvc drain pipe from the kitchen sink became totally clogged with sludge. Would not clear with a snake. Fortunately the entire pipe between my floor joists is easily accessible. So I just cut it out and glued another one in it's place. Cost me $20 rather than $400 that was quoted. It actually had a 45 attached to it's own cleanout which caused the restriction blockage

That was one big mess for sure, glad you got it cleared for the lady.

This one took a lot of work with the snake to get er finally cleared out. I wonder if it has something to do with the dishwasher and undissolved soap. Maybe the water temp in the dishwasher has been too low. Do you think all that muck might have been soap? As always, thanks for the video -- great camera positioning. Enjoyed it a lot.

all drains get like this .its like black mud/muck 20 years of use this is what happens has to be snaked back and forth and flushed out good with water to clear all that muck out of piping its just how it is.

No Chuck on your general??? Please explain.. thank you, Robertson mechanical NJ here.

So Steve did you ever have to change the cable in the Power Vee to a larger cable to clear out a drain? I have had a kitchen drain that took three passes to get it running and was wondering if I had changed cables and used an arrow head cleaner and a larger cable if that would have done the job faster and get it cleaner. Did you ever try and get some adaptors to screw in place of the aerator and then screw on your hose? I have one that fits most sinks and Oh Mama next level how easy it was...…….

Good job, how much charged for one time drain flushing and remove the dirty dust.

It's good to go, Steven. No more muckity muck. Baby, chief of truck security.

What brand is your drain snake

such a tough life, we should all have it so tough.

what type of the snake do you have?

I’d like the drain bucket that he brought but how is that not full yet?

Every time you hit that copper pipe you kind of freaked me out. Do that in my house it would probably break.

Why not use the hot water to flush with to help melt the grease out? Just asking

Da man!

how do they unclog drains, when snaking doesnt work

How long is the snake?

In my bathroom sink, black muck comes out of the faucet. I thought maybe there was a hole in the pipe and dirt was getting in (one story house). But from watching this video, it looks like I should call a plumber to snake the pipes....House was built in 1950. I've only had it a few years so I don't know the maintenance history.

might be a good idea to snake it and flush in out good like i did on this video .

Down here in v.a. I'm kitchens 3 to 4 days unless there's some extreme custom shit

I been having a hard time with my sink clogged .. been working the snake for three days and still the same 😭😭

what would make the snake stop at about 16 feet in. somethings blocking it real good

hmm maybe a bend of some kind like a sharp bend, or the snake just got caught on something... maybe that's the length of your snake? :/ Im just guessing... OR maybe the snake entered a pipe facing your way and its probably just contorted (i.e bends on itself)...

Steve, you should sell shirts that say WhY wOuLd YoU wEaR gLoVeS? I'll take 5% if you use my idea.

in my day you had to have an air gap or a high loop on the dish washer

Curious what that is you sometimes say to your dog-"neglio, neglio"? Is that her name? Really love watching your stuff!

Where can I get a snake like that?

How can you tell if the snake is going up or down?

Why don’t you ever Conect to the HOT water side when flushing,after you ran the snake?,nice job, though!

3 mo for a kitchen remodel? Maybe to get you scheduled in 3 months, it always took me and my crew about 1-1 1/2 month for an entire remodel. But that's an entire gut, .....new sheetrock, new cabinets new textured wall and ceiling, new plumbing, new opening or closing of walls, and new appliances. "3months!!! I'll knock ya in yer freekin head ahh!"

It’s wicked fast @ 13:05

why don't you use a bigger cable 13/32 to 1/2 works best

As You say, That one is a Little Crusty Momma.

Curious what a job like this runs ? Money wise.

my kitchen sink is like this my husband tried and he went in the basement put the snake in nothing there were coffe grinds he un cloged it but still its blocked what can be the problem

Snake it 30 feet but still no dice....?? May have to use longer snake.....??

I used a 25 ft. snake and it didn't help. No crap came out. Must need a longer snake.

when i started using gloves you had to take them from the Drs office

wat doing that robber pipe do there

on the side of my house i have a tube leaking water. my neighbor says its ac water and that that is an emergency exit and it really should be draining through the sink..i would like to know if its dosent damage the house if i keep letting the water drain like that from the side of the house

@scottc1428

Your secondary condensate pan is most likely full of water and that is why it's draining out where it is. You more than likely have a blockage in your primary drain and need to get that cleared so it quits draining into your secondary pan. If something happens to that secondary drain pan you will have water leaking into your house pending on where your air handler is.
