Hello friend. I live in the USA, and I've come across some really old plumbing setups. I mean, like the mid to late 1800s from toilets to old cesspools, which are that old and still in use in rural areas of the Northeastern states where the homes are close to 250 years old or less. My question is, what are the oldest drains and fixtures that you've come across in your work?

@Keep_itflowing

Ай бұрын

I have definitely seen some old septic tanks there are plenty of them about, A lot of the drains I work on are victorian and tend to be salt glazed pipe.

As an absolute amateur in the drainage business I wonder if it wouldn't have been much faster to just jet both lines from the manhole to the house and the other way to the tank? Seems like a lot of work to push the sewage manualy with a plunger or by the water from the house and break it down with a low pressure hose?

I would think that the guy that hired you to get it opened up, seen you just using the garden hose and not the Jetter,😮 could be saying that he could be doing it for himself and then saved money 💰, but he Hired you for the " Jetter Work " and not just the Garden Hose that was only used... So Far..... and the Jetter will use less water 💦 and more precise for getting it done and opened up and then off to Another Job... Bored or Not 🚫....

Tbh the way I work if a job can be done by the customer I don't mind them seeing how to do it if it helps them out in the future I would rather that then rip them off and pretend the job is harder than it is. Customers don't hire us to to jet unless they specifically ask us to, they hire us to unblock their drains, it isn't always necessary to jet every time. I know looking back i should have jetted it but at the time the water pressure was slow so would have put a lot more time on the job, I know the jetter appears quicker but it can take half hour to fill the tank and it pumps out at 12 Gallons per minute a lot higher than a hose pipe so can empty it in no time at all. The jetter is always empty at the start of the jobs and drained at the end due to weight on the vans making them over loaded.

@@Keep_itflowing You should secure the water first and get it flowing in to the Jetter Water Tank and then Start with the Suction truck and then by the time you need to start the Jetter the tank is Almost Full.. The Company that I was working for, years ago that was the first thing that would happen is get the hose to the Spigot and then Start with Filling up the Water Tank and then we would look at what needs to happen and what we need and then the tank is getting full enough to use and yes especially since the water flow is not great.... and also we had a Water Faucet Splitter in case we needed water in both places and more hoses and the guy "The Boss " had about everything Already Figured out by the Tools that he had....
