Gas leak Steve whips out the angle grinder. She's a sparker momma! 😂

She's said no, I'm not doing any shopping right now,,, I have no credit. Hahahahah Steve just starts grinding while she's still talking. 😂😂😂. Holy Shit Mamma!!!!

"he said to me he said" BZZZZZZZZAARRRRGGHH. i lost it xD

Take a shot every time Steve says "unbelievable" or "shit show" lmfao

Steve’s bedside manner is so funny lmao. I wish I could get away with that with my customers

“. . . flippin’ galvanized pipe . . .” You have to down your beer every time Steve says, “unbelievable”.

Steve hears lawyer at 16:21 - time to grind lol

This is that woman from a previous video whose husband died and she got screwed in the end…she just can’t get a break 😢😢😢. Fantastic video Steve 👍👍

Damsel in distress and Steve to the rescue!

She broke it on purpose to lure Steve in. She’s a black widow! Run!

Wow! We could have been reading about this one on the news. Wild that she just got a gas detector.

That pipe "...had a lot of howya doin'? on it" LOL

You got lights? Kaboom! 😂

She was lucky, damn lucky! Great work Steve!

Last week I thought I smelled gas. I got one of those gas leak detectors from Amazon, and it showed me a union that was barely leaking. I called a plumber to look at it, but they wouldn’t come over until the gas company checked it out first. The guy from the gas company was great. He was able to tighten the union and stop the leak. I didn’t have to pay a plumber now! I offered the gas company guy some money, but he refused.

Steve i love your attitude. Im an electrician in the northeast and you always gotta walk on eggshells with customers, and i hate it. I love how you go in and just run the customer so you can get the job done.

I knew once the inspector was coming that you were going to have to change all of yhat galvanized pipe & fittings. Nice job.

Almost at 200K. Way to go Steve. Glad to follow you for many years.

Usually, the women smell gas way better than the men. When a wife tells me she's smelling gas, and the husband says she's nuts, I listen to her. Usually find something.

should have kept the old pipe, added some fresh paint to it, hung it back up for the gal to use to hang her clothes, to keep her crap off the new pipe. Steve is laying pipe Mamma!

Man Steve Lav is the GOAT for this. Never a dull moment

Old school plumbing. Love it. No shark bites or propress here.

Almost a country song: husband died, bankrupt, and house blew up. Wonder how the dog is!

Wow shes lucky that her house didnt blow up sky high , at least now its upgraded and cleaned up with the pipes tucked up in the rafters - nice job steve 👍🇺🇸

Watching the threading machine work is so satisfying.

Here in New Jersey the gas company upgraded our gas main and they moved my meter from the basement to outside. All new piping was galvanized.

i did some updating to our house now 5 years ago and in the process i found out that our incoming gas supply piping was severely under sized it was very interesting learning about how you size the pipe for the amount of gas the appliance will consume as well as learning about the 2 pound system with the regulators and learning all this from a master Plumber that I’ve known for my whole life was a huge privilege

Half the fun is listening to what Steve is muttering during the job...We have all been there!

My maternal grandparents and I nearly succumbed to a natural gas leak in their house in 2001. Cause of the leak was the mercury diaphragm in the meter (which was inside) ruptured overnight and filled up the ENTIRE place. Called the fire department, and their CO and gas monitors went off 15 feet from the front door, literally chooching Momma! They said if the house exploded, the whole block would have been gone, but luckily none of us suffered any aftereffects. Same day, the gas company put a new meter (this time outside) in, and a leak test was done to which it passed that day. June 28th, 2001, in Wantagh, NY, a day I'll never forget.

Do you have lights? Yes,BOOM!😂😂😂😂

At 16.27 he just ended the conversation right there he had enough of her waffle!!

My mom did the exact same thing, putting clothes on every pipe in the basement, gas, water, electical cables, it didn't matter, I told her the same thing! At least most of them were on water lines, so it was just a flood waiting to happen as well! 🤦‍♂🤷‍♂

Steve did a good job. It's been awhile since he posted any big gas piping jobs. He posted a lot of gas jobs when the channel first started.

I love how this guy talks.

Nice gas test. Sparks flying everywhere with no ignition, no liftoff. Momma no gas in those lines. Dead canary (or grandma) in the bell free though. Crazy stuff. Great work Steve Lav

More pipework in that basement than in the Titanic engine room.

I just saw a video on KZfaq about the gas piping mishap in northern MA where they didn't do a cutover properly and sent high-pressure gas intp homes....

My father found out he lost his sense of smell when he had a tenant in his office building say they had a gas leak. He bought a gas detector.

When I plumber says WOW, it means somethin! Steve quote. She sounds really sharp. I had an issue like this at work. I told boss lady there was a dilute 'mercaptan', smell from back of chicken fryer, she didn't listen. They called the Fire Department, and the dummies said it was under the skillet do dab, but they later found out it was the connection to the fryer. I knew it all along! Anyway, Listen to the little guy sometimes! the nose knows! ha!

I've seen this in many basements. I know the people don't listen when you advise them to remove the clothes, so I've even thrown in a few free banghangers for people when I'm just there to change their meter.

Dam.. she was lucky... really lucky... that one light switch away...

I remember her. Husband did not leave his retirement to go to her after he died. She was worried about the furnace repair bill. That bill was pennies compared to what this is going to be. Going through bankruptcy. I hope Steve cashes that check really fast.

Unbelievable.Well it isn't going to leak no more!

june 2014 tornado over my house big tree dropped on edge of 500 gallon propane tank stood it up vertical pulled copper up out of lawn kinks everywhere whole yard strong gas smell and 30ft away 25kw pole transformer & both powerlines from country road on the lawn i had to get to the tank shut off valve through smashed tree limbs or die trying tank gauge said 79% and dropping. sketchy shit

The death wheel keeps her quiet lol.

I’ve worked as a gas service tech for 13 years and I’ve never seen something like this. Of course we don’t have basements in texas.

Good work! You may complain a bunch. But, you sure do care about doing the right thing for your customers. I know they appreciate it!

Great entertainment and show tonight Steve. Love your content. Your one hell of a knowledgeable dude. I’d be elated to work under you as an apprentice.

gotta pull them permits!

Our gas company runs galvanized, I even replaced a piece of the black iron since it had rusted through.

Lucky the furnace don't have a pilot flame.

This woman said she has no credit and is going thru bankruptcy. Are you going to get paid for this job ?

Good to see Steve. It looks like the Gym is having an effect. That's a clean work. Hope u get all the money u deserve, You are a good guy.

Steve, thanks for the video. Unbelievable is right!! This is one of the best videos you've made. Good work.

I think my Dad used a peice of gas pipe for a closet rod, but it doesn't have gas running through it.

Live and learn, she's very lucky she's still living.

Dang good job Steve, hop it all passes inspection, but I'm sure it will! Kick ass video, you saved her ass! Keep us posted and keep the videos coming ☝️👍💥👌🫵

Nice job! It's always a great video when Steve breaks out the pipe machine

Gas company says this is the fault of the previous plumber who worked in the basement for not informing the lady that hanging clothes on the gas pipe was not a good idea. 😂😂😂

Steve! I always enjoy watching you doing old school pipe reminds me of my young days watching my uncle Carl!

Hey Steve and Miss Molly! Workin’ again ya’ll. 👍👍. she probably wouldn’t have known one type of pipe from another.

Great segment Steve you do great work.

thats why ive never hung anything on pipes for this exact reason & well you kept telling her steve !

Nice clean install, Steve. Good work!

Very nicely done she is very lucky

Well, you won’t believe what I experienced yesterday. Apparently, a mile from my house, some imbecile was using propane to heat his house, because he couldn’t afford to pay a natural gas bill, a low income single 70 plus year old. He had God knows how many tanks of propane in his basement. His house exploded at 6:00 AM, my folks and I were asleep, I in a deep sleep. My mother and father heard what sounded like a bomb going off, and their bed moved slightly from the seismic shock. The homeowner was inside the house when it burst, sending a column of flame skyward. The house collapsed into the basement, and a neighboring home had its windows blown out, with occupants asleep inside. The homeowner amazingly survived, crawling out of the flaming ruin with only minor injuries, yelling to call 911, before passing out. He’s currently in the hospital, and who knows what his insurance will cover, if he has any, he lost everything. I’ve been by that property countless times on my way to high school, and now work, all that’s left is a smoldering ruin. I live in Ann Arbor, MI, so the news reports will show dramatic footage.

Every Joe Homeowner needs to know how to turn off utilities to their house. Bummer. The gas is an easy one if you fast enough to get it done safely. At least its outside.

Clean job. Very impressive.

As much as it was a crappy situation to fix, it made for an entertaining and informative video. I’ve never seen you do gas piping like that.

Wow! Start rippin n tearin mama! 🤣💯👍

She definitely got lucky. I would be buying a lottery ticket.

The piping looks good, that was a great job you did.

lol - it’s just layers of paint… (hear concrete crumbling) 😂🤣😅

Women & their clothes she was lucky!Another quality video Steve

great video thank you

Everyone should know how to shut the Gas Meter off in case of emergency.

Always 1:52 have CO alarms just in case pips burst.

Great job Steve

That was a bit of a job there Steve ..all looking good now 👍👍👍👍

How did that gas line pass inspection back when it was installed?

Yep that pipe shouldn't have had tension on it like that when he released the union it sprung back

Dang, that was a mess. Sure didn’t help that that entire gas line run was a ginormous cluster to begin with

Holy shit, that’s some scary shit there! One things for dam sure, every piece of pipe in that house needs to be changed! This is one of those all or none I’m out of here situations because one thing I’ve learned is that once you start messing with a section of pipe you can cause a leak further down the line. It’s bad enough having to fuck with gas lines when you replace an appliance. I once caught the wife hanging a couple clothes hangers off the gas line, needless to say it won’t happen again. NOTHING touches the fucking gas lines, NOTHING! And walking into a house with a gas leak, that’s some fucked up shit right there. Been in that situation a couple times, and both times I called the gas company first and had them come out. I of course shut the main off at the meter, luckily they were outside. But if you want to get you nerves racking and your blood pressure up through the roof, go ahead and deal with that shit! It’s definitely one of those shit your pants moments. Seen a couple houses that blew up because of a gas leak, and I can tell you this, the whole fucking house looked like a pile of match sticks. Sorry went off on a tangent, but this brought back some fucked up memories. Stay safe out there, and if your ever called to a gas leak situation like this, DO NOT ENTER! Call the gas company and let them deal with clearing the house of gas and making sure it’s safe to enter, not worth risking your life over someone else’s dumb shit!

How many of these new hacks would have used those garbage press fittings? Love to see Steve doing it right!

Nice to see a true professional

Great work Steve.

MB more plumbers should offer the "clothes hanger up-sell"...😊

5 pounds for the inspector? We have to have a 30 pounds test here in North Carolina.

Looks like a nice clean install

Steven, nothing but quality here 👍

No unions on gas lines we use galvanized steel on gas upc is different than Massachusetts state code galvanized fittings are mailable

When I was a serviceman for a gas co. in Western Pa., we did inspections around the clock. Guess the co. in your area has banker's hrs.

OMG lady go upstairs!

When I was about 2 my parents had a new gas stove installed and the installers didn't tighten the connections- that night apparently I started acting funny and they smelled gas- same thing it would have gone up within a few minutes had they not found the leak and I probably wouldn't be here 30 years later.

Just do CSST home runs to a central manifold. just like the new construction guys haha

Looking Good!

Great job Steve! Hope the old oil tank is empty. Work looks clean and nice.

just teach them what not to do, make sure they are listening. thanks god she did not loose her home and she is find, people dont matter their age they always need help. i hope you are charging an honest pay,

Wow! She could have been gassed out while taping that pipe. The good lord was looking out for her that day.

So I shouldn't be doing chin ups on my gas pipe?
