Nice work Stevo, those flies were loving that leak, now they're starving. I just fixed a 4x4x4 cast iron sewage fitting in my apartment house basement, it's haunted me for over 2 years; I was afraid that if I got in trouble that tenants couldn't shit or shower until I got a plumber. Fortunately, I fixed it all for about 150$ with 4" PVC from Home Depot, and 6 hours of my time. The quotes I got were in the thousands. Rents are high enough, I try to do everything myself.

People for educational purposes the only reason to use cast iron for a waste line in the ceiling is because it drains quieter than pvc. It has a rough inner lining that catches shit and can plug up easier. PVC has a very smooth inner surface that rarely clogs up.

He's using no hub clamps to connect the ends which is the modern method. The old plumber I used to work with still had lead and oakum on his truck in case he had to reconnect a cast iron joint. Thy used to solder the cast joints.

That's the coolest cutting-tool! No motors

I swear I saw doody coming out of that old cast iron pipe when it was draining

Definetly a stinka and a leaka! To bad ABS pipe couldn't be used in it's place. A code thing? Another great cleaned up job.

@godsmacking99

11 күн бұрын

Possibly a code thing. In some places you're not allowed to replace and change material. You have to put in the same material that you took out. Stupid as ABS and PVC would far outlast cast iron but these old plumbers stuck in the past don't want to hear that and that's why we still have to play around with inferior cast iron from time to time like we're still in the 1950's.

Turd Flies *_and_* Dog Peter Gnats! 🪰😄

Steve you ever notice how the cast iron 3 or 4" always somehow stays open but anything smaller will plug up solid.

The taste needs to be cleaned up with chlorine water mix. See if the taste is still lingering. I remember tasting a smell like that down on the docks. I tried to make out the flavor of that fish but it burned my face. Definitely were gloves so the taste won’t burn.

Plumbers have the toughest shit jobs, electricians not so much. Nothing worse than dealing with shit pipes and crawling through dirt.
