Best one I've seen. Friend had the drywall behind his shower in his second story apartment starting to look water damaged half way up the wall. I looked told him a pipe was leaking from behind and running or spraying on the drywall. Before the landlord came by to fix it (6-8 weeks later) the drywall collapsed exposing the pipes behind. The issue... the spring on the vicegrips holding the valve and the showerhead line together had rusted and snapped. Every time they turned the shower on it would spray and because the shower was on they never heard running or leaking water. Best part... when the landlord did come he quickly installed a new pair of vicegrips and drywalled over the issue.

@Chump Tard yeah the last two landlords i had made me give up renting and buy a house. One cost me a fridge and a New $3000 PC because the electrical was FAR from "to code". The second cost me $2700 in hot water taking nearly 7 months to fix a shower that was losing 3 gallons a min by the 6 month mark. Not including all the mold on my furniture and anything in a closet. I would have fixed it myself but it was tiled over cinder block (internal) walls with pipes running in the blocks. I keep good records tho so each of them paid me back through landlord tenant boards. Wasn't worth the stress tho. SUCKS to be a perfect tenant who takes care of the place never misses a payment and gets stuck with a bad landlord.

That wiring is older than Roger, way older. If you plumbers see that in the field, call your electrician buddy to take a look at that, it could save your life.

Not to hijack Roger's comment section, but I have one that may make you smile. After arriving on a job site to replace the main panel in an RV, I followed their shore power cord to the garage. It was wired directly to the buss bar in a 100A panel. Cloth wrapped wire coming in from all directions, most w/o strain relief. The panel was actually radiating heat! The owner told me it had worked that way for over 40 years, and refused to call a licensed electrician. About an hour later, the garage caught on fire, with the panel as origin. Video on my channel titled "fire in Snohomish". 😁

Mr. Wakefield, I love your videos. I just wanted to share that my grandfather owned a plumbing company in midland that my dad worked for. And the both of them have taught me so much about plumbing, and now that I am 25 years old the three of us have a tradition that anytime we are working on a plumbing job and we are about finished, we check for leaks. Whoever did the installation and has leaks has to buy a round of beers for everybody. Again love the videos keep up the good work.

I nce purchased a home, knowing that some repairs were due. Getting the house at a very reasonable price made it a great deal, but there were, of course, some surprises. One such head scratcher was the kitchen sink drain. The fittings had been "sealed" with candle wax. In case anyone thinks they'd like to copy this technique, it didn't work. An oddity was the backward plumbing. Every fixture in the house had hot on the right, cold on the left. (The light switch in the bathroom was also located behind the door, and the shutoff valve for the water heater were behind the tank, near the floor, in a corner. The pipes had to be disconnect and the water heater moved to even find the valve.)

I will say this to play devils advocate. There have been times over my career so far that I mcguyver something together as a stop gap to get someone out of an emergency to come back with the proper repair in a day or 2, especially during late night on call situations with advanced problems. Only for the customer to say they’re just gonna hold off until my “repair” actually fails. It kills me every time, once I even went out in my spare time and gave them the cheapest version of a legitimate repair practically for free because i felt it was unsafe to leave it beyond that night. I can’t imagine any plumber doing stuff like this and not feeling anxious knowing it’s being treated like permanent. The number of people who seem to be content living over an open sewage pit really amazes me.

I also spent 30 years in the inground swimming pool business where the classics of bad plumbing can always be found. One of the last pools I repaired was a leaking pool. I found the first leak (there were many) at one on the inlets to the pool, I used geophones by the way, After cutting and removing new brick decking and then 4 to 6 inches of concrete I found the leak. The had plumbed the swimmimng pool with DWV. All the plumbing was under that deck fitted with DWV.

Hello, Roger saw the video and it was very entertaining! I couldn't help but notice on the crazy plumbing picture (the one that should be sponsored by sharkbite) haha, you forgot to point out on the tankless water heater that the fresh air vent is taking in fresh air from the room!! Not outside! Now I have been in the trades my whole life my father owned a construction business for 25 years, I started my HVAC apprenticeship with a commercial company that did a whole array of work from digging and installing septic systems to installing huge tankless water heaters, I basically did it all learned a lot doing it and I enjoyed doing it! Now the master plumber that trained me told me it is very important on the tankless water heaters to run the exhaust and the vent directly outside, it can be PVC because it does not get hot enough to melt and that's the current building code where I live. If the unit does not get enough fresh air the unit will not fire up and function properly. This was proven true to me when I rolled up on a job and something similar to what I saw here happened. The fresh air vent was run under an enclosed porch and wasn't directly ran outside in the open, It kept tripping a code on the board that resulted in a misfire and eventually it disabled the unit. Very funny to watch tho! Keep it going!

I currently live in an apartment complex where the "maintenance staff" are about as knowledgeable as someone who's never seen indoor plumbing. My toilet was replaced within the first two weeks of me moving in. The guy who installed it found two wax rings under the old toilet, so he placed two new ones under the new toilet, thinking there was a reason they should be there. My shower had a hole on one side of the built-in soap tray because they couldn't find or buy a plug *for three months*, despite me hassling them at least every few days. They use 3/4 inch pipes for waste removal from the toilet, and those pipes are shared by two units, which has led to clogging and backup issues. The toilet often creates massive bubbles which spray water all over the underside of the lid and even on the floor. The kitchen and bathroom drains throw out sewer gas smells a couple times a day. Basically, this building suffers from horrible plumbing.

Really wish I still had a photo larger than 78kb left. The previous homeowner I purchased my house from used spray foam, a cotton sock and pipe clamps on the mixing valve for the downstairs shower. Guessing they tinned the connections in before realizing they couldn't screw onto the valve. Found it after having to demo the shower stall because it was too large for the space, and the door opened into the toilet bowl. You'd have to squeeze in next to the toilet open the door against the bowl to slide into the shower. When we pulled the basin for the shower, a 2'x2' hole was left in the foundation, and the weight of the basin was being held up by a rotted 1x3". The drain connection wasn't made for the basin and they'd been using it like that. I had to back fill about 1/2 yard of sand under the foundation. What I thought was going to be a $600 shower stall fix ended up being a $4k renovation. to the whole bathroom.

Now, I'm not saying it's OK to do but duct tape can keep a *drain* pipe from leaking. They aren't pressurized. Water basically just runs down them using gravity. If you had a leaking drain from your sink or something that you found late Friday evening, you can probably get away with taping the hell out of it until Monday morning when you can get parts or a plumber. The problem comes when it actually works too well so people just basically say eff it and leave it like that until the problem gets worse again.

The duct tape repair reminded me of what I encountered in my home when we dug up a wet spot in line with our main line to the septic tank. The previous owner had added a kitchen addition and plumbed the sink drain with PVC. The original line from 1946wast cast iron. They had knocked a hole into the top of the cast iron with a hammer, then inserted a 90 attached to the pvc then TIED the fitting to the cast iron with bread bags! Yes Wonder bread bags were used for "tape" then some burlap was crammed into the gaps of the ragged oversized hole and concrete was gobbed onto that then they buried it ! Craziest thing I have ever seen. Needless to say we replaced that mess with all PVC! I wish I had taken pics!

To be honest the sink full of dishes would make me turn around and leave before the pvc poked into the cast-iron of the previous clip would.

So interesting looking at American plumbing, in the UK a ball valve has a round float (ball) on the end of a rod which is lifted by a rising water level in a tank or cistern (toilet tank). We call what you call a ball valve, a lever valve. Great stuff watching this

i have seen that 1st one with the upside down join a few times when it was used to pump water out of a basement area where there was 2 pumps one on the down side and one pumping to the upside down part not sure how effective it was but i think it was to help get the water to flow up the pipe from the 2nd pump and not drain down onto the first pump

Was in an apartment complex recently and there were more than a few drains that went nowhere. They just dumped "everything" into the crawlspace. Fortunately I wasn't there doing plumbing. I was installing furnaces.

That 'cast iron' section actually looks like it could be duck tape rolled over and over on itself to make its own 'special' little fitting haha

I was replacing a water heater in a house and followed the half-inch hot and cold pipes running along the bottom of a joist to a bathroom on the other side of the house. When the yahoo installing them got to the main carrier beam, instead of elbowing up over it, they ran them through the beam. Just drilled two holes in it and ran the pipes through.

I'm not a plumber or even a handyman but when I moved into my mobile home I had to replace all of the plumbing because it had all froze and busted almost every piece of pvc pipe. I'd love for you to look at it and grade my work. I had never done any plumbing work before and I replaced all of the pvc pipe with cpvc. It was a challenge but I haven't had any leaks for 4 years now and I didn't use duct tape lol.

When my parents moved into their house in the 80's my dad discovered every kind of pipe connected to each other: copper, galvanized, iron, brass, lead, pvc, polybutylene, it was a DISASTER.

I'm not a pro plumber, and I don't pretend to be one, but WOW! Not even in my wildest dreams would I consider these types of repairs. I am considering buying stock in Sharkbite. May be able to retire early!
