A utility rep inspected our property to confirm a sewage backwash valve that will be installed along with CIPP is eligible for reimbursement. When I told him there was a trough worn into the bottom of the pipe for some distance, he expressed preference for bursting a new pipe in. He said a liner would follow the damaged contours of the old pipe. We're getting UV-cured resin, not epoxy, but I'm relieved to see this liner is capable of bridging the damaged sections of old pipe.

Does this only work for pipe runs that don't pick up other pipes? For instance, what happens when it passes through a tee fitting intersection along its way? Wouldn't it just block off the perpendicular run?

Didn't think anybody used a snake this day and age.....way too slow and like hard work compared to a hydrojetter...You would have done that in a fraction of time and made way more money....saved ya back in the process also. I bought my first trailer jetter in 2012 a HotJet USA...made enough with it in 6 weeks to pay it off...sold it 10 years later for more than I paid for it. I run a different unit now but basically with a jetter, I would have pulled a 3/8 hose to that clean out, carried over a mini reel with 200 feet of 1/4 hose, pulled out a hose for water and let the jetter do the work. I was nervous at the time investing that much money, but the best investment ever made. Also you don't contaminate everything with black water like with cables like you do dragging cables all over the place and spinning them.

Anyone can pull plastic waterservice, pulling galvanized is the real beast. We call that coupling a dayton and typically we only expect to see it near the curb stop connection because that's what the city here has authority over and they typically use it to connect back to the homeowners water service after they make a repair to their curb stop at the street. Running into one in the yard especially when you're trying to make a pull must really suck.

Hey Art, even before you walked away from your hotel at the beginning, I knew you were staying at a Toyoko-Inn. About five years ago, if you had been to one, you had been to all. I am just watching this video now on April 11, 2024 after returning from another trip to Japan and hope you will bring up the issue Japan STILL using 'S' traps instead of 'P' traps. I am sure while you stayed at that Toyoko-Inn you noticed the faint sewer gas smell in your room's module bathroom. If you visited any homes or businesses, you probably smelled sewer gas ever so often too and if you looked at houses, you never saw vent pipes up on the roof.

One job the neighbor accused me of breaking her line because roto rooter replace her entire line going down the hill to the main, in reality they threw a 45° in and ran it 10’ over to the neighbors main line. Charged her 13k for 10’ of pipe, a 45, a wye and a Fernco, they didn’t even have the decency to bury a shielded fernco

The cable is electric Eel 1-1/4" heavy duty sections and their cable drive adapter for their Model C machine I have chucked into my drill. Ridgid makes a machine if you don't want to use a drill. They also have their own cables of course. I think the model number is 5208?? Milwaukee makes a compact one too, it's cordless. But now that I read your comment again, I really don't think they are self feed...? I honestly don't know much about sectional machines. But drum machines are self feed of course.
