How’s the sectional been doing? Any troubles with it? Considering buying one
After your used to the manual feeding concept it's pretty great. Not as ideal for inside from toilet flange but still doable with a drop cloth. Thanks for asking
@@onitplumbing thanks boss
Check out the duracable 1/4" machine. It utilizes a foot pedal so you can use 2 hands and avoid kinks easily.
Very educational video, thx man
Thank you for shouting me out much appreciated!
Glad it helped!
Those look like lithium cells, not standard batteries. Maybe get a pelican style water proof case with the clear front so you can use it in wet conditions.
What type of regulator you use is for ?
Honestly I can't remember the exact name but I went to industrial source and they basically set me up, although they were unsure of what I was doing once I explained the type gas I was using 95% nitrogen 5 percent hydrogen and would need to run pressures in the 10-100 lb range they figured it out. I will make a video describing it
Have you seen Milwaukee is coming out with a m18 version of the stick pump? It’s supposed to be 25gpm and doing the math this one is only 12gpm, milwaukees version will be double the speed of this one
I've heard but haven't seen it yet would be cool if it worked well
@ I’ve seen a couple of videos on TikTok of them demonstrating it at their booth
Here’s the link if you wanted to look at which one I’m talking about!
Thanks for the tips. I just got the Jacobs and had a hard time getting the hydrogen/nitrogen mixture. But it works for finding small leaks.
Well 22lr is definitely cheap and nice to plink with. Plz consider taking a 10mm glock with a good red dot using full load ammo out there at the very least (for the bears I guess). dope video btw.
Lol for the bears I have a 6.5 credmore guess I shoulda explained that lol thanks for looking out
Facts I did pest control wish i found plumbing faster.
They also have the Pasco Olive Puller 🫒. Goes behind the olive and another section in front of pipe and you turn the handle and basically pulls it. Similar to a fan hub puller for hvac guys.
Keep it up!
Thank you sir!
Keep it up Bro Watch out for the white moose
Lol what? 🤣
@ you know what 😱🫎✊
Awesome views! I was probably not far from you at all today. I was in Port Orford running a job.
Excellent Idea. Where do you buy the "sleeves"? What are they called?
They are called rain collars and you can easily buy them on amazon. I like the oatey ones best! Thanks for watching!
When doing acoustic detection you can rig a air rig to a hose bib to produce a boil/ more audible sounds
Yes I use my tracer mix for this all the time and 90% of the time it helps a lot!
Where do you get your hydrogen from?
Industrial source is where we get it and they are competitive 👌
Whats up Morgan I like your vids and you do some good plumbing. Im a Owner Plumber who has crews and works in the field as well. My 1 office gal moved on about a month ago and now im answering the phones, sending estimates and entering everyrhing in Service fusion. Curious how are you handling your calls. Do you have office staff or have you found a way to outsource. Enjoy your vids keep up the great work
I've tried the answering services. They are mediocre at best. It would probably be okay temporary solution but it's just hard to replace a person in the office. Yes we have an awesome CSR who takes the calls. Does the schedule and helps with payments and collection etc. I always worry that if she moves on it will be very hard to replace her because she's great at it. That being said, I think it's necessary to have a CSR. If she were to leave I would answer the phones for a few months until we could find a replacement to train and I would say putting ads out on indeed or trying to steal a CSR from another Plumbing company in your area that already knows the drill would be the route to go. Good luck and thank you so much for commenting!
Also, maybe it was confusing. Our CSR works remotely from home with internet and a laptop so that does help quite a bit. She's able to stay at home with a kid and work. Figured this might be a good tip for you
Its important to not drink your hot water in the first place! It could burn your mouth!😂
Nice lol 👍
Bro it took a deep search before yourube to allow me to see your video. Im glad I kept scrolling. Your video should be on page 1. We are neighbors I think Im in Washington, Olympia. I have referred 3 leads in last 3 weeks to a leak detection company. They charge the customer 450 and are normally spot on. I cant get it out of my head that i want to buy the right gear amd start offering leak detection. Do you think the sniffer your using is the best unit?
It's definitely not the best unit, but I believe it is the best unit for the price. I bought it from amazing machinery online for around 35 to$3,600 And if you get the Severn unit you're looking at closer to 11 or 12,000 which for me was way too big of a leap. And this unit does work fine once you learn how to properly isolate a system and energize the right sections. Also super glad to have somebody from Washington in my comments. Hope to see you around again and I'll check out your channel thanks
I’m thinking about getting this, what do you think of the sniffer so far
It's a pretty decent sniffer definitely not the best, but I think it is the best for the price. I am a little concerned that if it breaks that I will be Sol, but I believe it is already more than paid for itself
Im about to purchase more leak detection equipment and I'm still on the wall regarding this equipment. Please keep us updated and I appreciate the honest feed back.
Will do. I'll post an update video soon
Keep up the good work Morgan Your awesome
Hello , I'm a retired journeyman plumber , plumbing contractor , and finally retired plumbing inspector. 50 years in this. Plumbing business has incredible costs in materials & overhead. Not sure what your objective is on youtube ???
Well, RUclips can offer a secondary income stream or a way to build a brand where you can sell products. Also advertise your business at a lower cost than conventional Google ads etc. And yes I'm aware Plumbing does have quite a bit of overhead, especially with the specialty equipment that we use and I have videos on. But I do love doing RUclips as well. It's kind of a enjoyable way for me to share my knowledge and my business, so I have a few reasons. I like to do it but on the other hand, this video was meant to be more of a warning that it's probably not a good idea for a sole source of income
Hey Morgan, a quick shout out to you and your team from up north in the Willamette Valley!
Hey, thanks! We're basically neighbors. I appreciate you dropping in and leaving a comment. Are you a plumber up there? Thanks!
Have you try out with water leaks? I came across thinking of buying it
We definitely have. If you check out some of my long form videos you will see that in action. Hope that you enjoy
I have about 300 ft of 1 1/8" plastic line between the house and cistern. Any suggestions on how to find the leak???
You need to be able to isolate that section so if there's valves already great. If not, you would need to install valves on each side and then a hose bib or some way to introduce air or hydrogen to the system and then you could trace the Leak or hire someone to find the leak that way
White people activities
I appreciate you making the leak detection videos. I have been thinking about getting a Sewerin or Jacobs kit for my business but its a difficult decision because of the purchase price and I have to figure out now to charge the customer. Keep making the videos.😃
What’s the plan for disposal?
You can haul it with trash bags and backfill with gravel is the best. Depends on the situation
You got me with the 3rd wall break, obviously I don’t have the insurance to dig, and I don’t have the budget for the truck
Morgan, this is so freaking cool. I'm very impressed and super happy for you that you've been able to build your business (and your systems) to live your ideal lifestyle. And Southern Oregon is one of the most beautiful places to be, what a cool morning. Thanks for sharing and inspiring, keep it up!
Thanks so much man glad to see you on here! Appreciate you stopping by and keeping a comment and I sure hope everything is going great with you as well🙂 have a very nice holiday season.
Love your videos, keep up the great work
Thank you so much!
In the event of no tracer wire, you can use a pulse generator to trace the line before sound isolation. You can get a pulse generator called the little thumpa from Australia, or from leaktronics called the pg-2. Otherwise great tutorial.
I really appreciate you saying that. I'm going to look into getting one of these. They actually told me about this when I was talking to a severin rep and I was skeptical of how it worked. Do you have any first-hand experience using it?
@@onitplumbing a colleague I've worked with had one. It makes a knocking sound in the pipe allowing you to follow the knock from the meter to where it enters the house. He used it for mapping irrigation as well. He had the Australian one.
Good..
Hello friend Are you happy working with jacob sniffer? Im between buying this or the variotec 460 Any help would be appriciated Thanks
So far I haven't used it long enough to say for sure had it glitch once. I think the sewerin would be the best but this works and is cheaper.
@@onitplumbing thanks bro 👍👍
Can you make a video on essential tools a plumber should have? And what Milwaukee tools to get (M12 Fuel vs M18 Fuel)?
I think I could make something like that
@@onitplumbing Thanks, I'm 26 thinking of transitioning into becoming a plumber. I got a job offer from 2 companies but the pay is really low, I would have to slice my current income by $30K
Absolutely disgusting rates. $3k to get some roots out and replace a couple of drains?? Made 2 hard working people's entire week's pay for a fraction of a day of effort. Congrats on doing your part to rip off hard working people in the name of capitalism. Absolutely disgusting.
Ha you are clueless. Try doing it for a living some weeks you make nothing. You see six minutes and think you know how to run a business
Also replaced an entire kitchen drain and waste and overflow and cleaned the drain FYI!
Surely you mean Helium (He), which is a safe gas commonly used for pressure leak testing and comes in a rust/brown color storage bottle, kinda like what we see @6:50. Where Hydrogen (H) is flammable/explosive and would be hazardous to be piping randomly around a leak site. ;)
Nope 5 percent hydrogen 95 percent nitrogen. Tracer gas. That's surely what I mean but some people do use a different system with helium I believe.
@@onitplumbing Oh, it's only 5% explosive gas. :D Cool. Yea, that makes a difference. Thanks!
OK, while I'm hating. Do you also change your price? Because the house looks nice. As most other people do. Somehow. When people start businesses, they forget. Hat we're all poor
Nope it's all line item flat rate many people can't afford it but so unfortunately not every person gets served but we try to offer discounts financing and no card fee. Id the job is large it's quoted by myself or the field supervisor
Well, I hate to ruin your day. I was just carias whether you charge a $1000 an hour. Like all people think they're worth nowadays. $200 an hour to get your car fixed. I just don't know how you people sleep at night.
That's a huge exaggeration plus as a service plumber only 50-60 percent of your day is billable over the year and that's only 5 days a week. So even if you charged$400 an hour that would be$200 in the full day plus deduct workers comp, gas, insurance, shop rent, vehicle loans. We are all struggling you are looking at the smaller picture it's just the way the system works and from what I can tell it's the best system humans really have.
Hey man, I just recently purchased this equipment Jacob 430. I’m struggling to use this one because I’m thinking maybe I didn’t get that correct gas any tips you can tell me where did you purchase the gas for it and any codes for that I really appreciate if you could let me know thank you.
Well it needs to have hydrogen in it so I use the 95 nitrogen 5% hydrogen mix works pretty well but it takes a long time for it to purge through the system. So you have to shut the water down and then I use the pressure from the hydrogen and open a hose bib until all the water leaves and I start hearing the hydrogen come out of the hose bib then I shut it and then I will start it like 10-15 lb and bump it all the way up to 50 if needed that usually will create The Purge. You should be hearing gas come out of the valve. Make sure you have a regulator valve and then I connect to an air hose and then usually go to a garden hose. You cannot go through frost-free hose bibs so washer boxes are very handy. Let me know if you need any other tips
Put the cable in the drum backwards and then you can feed it into the machine while taking it out of the drum and then the male end of the cable is facing towards the drain and you can put your attachment on it
Great tip thank you!
I use it similarly we can connect via email if you’d like to compare how we use it I’m up for some tips too
Thanks I'll keep that in mind when I'm in the office this week! I'll try and reach out
showing your workout lol
Heck yeah every weekday
Dude, just use a olive cutter..... that's so risky with low reward. If you damage the pipe your screwed
I'm curious if that will work it doesn't seem like it will but I like the idea I'll try it.
I just ordered one honestly never even used one before which is hilarious I don't think any plumbers been around have ever had one
Great video, thanks!
CRAPPIE JOB! i had to say it!
I love how he has the chew socks on. Usually you do it so your feet don't get the customers floor dirty.He's doing it so his shoes don't get dirty😂😂😂
