HOW I PATCHED A TOILET LEAD BEND LEAK IN CRAWL SPACE

I glad all the non plumbers see what we get to experience at times to earn a living , the real world. Good video chuck.
Every Day Plumbing. down and dirty
Nice job CB!! You came and conquered and didnt give up that epitomized the true definition of being a true MASTER PLUMBER!!! This channel is teaching me and others not only plumbing lessons but also life lessons. YOU DA MAN!
We trying mike.. everyday plumbing
Wow!! That sure tested your love for plumbing, nice results, good choice on that rubber, I've used it many times, still do. Thanks for video
thanks Armando...plumb on daddy...whats going on with your chargers....they getting smoked by patriots
Chuck Barron, you keep the world flowing!
One drain and day at a time.
Not only are u teaching ur boys chuck but many more apprentices u have inspired me to start a RUclips channel doing plumbing
Get er started dawg.
That's a super idea,when the copper drain pipe on my bath tub sprung a leak I used a piece of that rubber gasket material and two worm drive clamps,I put a glob of teflon pipe selant on the piece of rubber gasket material before I clamped it on with two two inch worm drive clamps,your idea of using the steel sleeve from a no-hub clamp is better.The leak was right before the tub drain trap on the underside of the copper pipe and it was tight as heck to get in there because the copper drain pipe on the tub ran about two inches parallel to the floor joist .It lasted up until I replaced the tub drain a few months ago.It's like my mentor the locksmith who taught me locksmithing and helped me get my locksmith license always used to tell me,with mechanical things and such you sometimes have to be like a doctor and improvise to make things work.Great video.What a flood we had in the basement from just a five minute shower with that quarter inch hole in the tub drain pipe.
some one else had a great idea. the paint for under trucks. I forget the name.
Undercoat . Maybe you can get the Ziebart guy under there with some undercoat . I don't know if there is some roof sealant that might also work .
Nothing like water dripping down to your elbow inside your tyvek jumpsuit !!! For the win !!!
we won...this battle...the war is coming when the bath gut is ordered...I love dripping water too....so fun
It's piss
I was my washing my clothes had to stop.when you uploaded another video.👍👍👍good job on saving money for the customer.
save us both some time for today. thanks ferios
I Figueratively Speaking screw my customer over Every chance I get for my boss
not sure what you mean but ok.
Fixed plumbing leaks for 20 years on a ship. Many methods you use are the same. But roof muck, we called it devil shit, never done that!
Good video, thank you.
Rod
She still holding like steel......ha....
Nice job Chuck!
she was so happy it worked....and so was I. ha
Hey CB. I've found that there's very little blue RTV (room temperature vulcanizing) cannot fix. In my trade, it can be used in the absence of a gasket by applying a bead and making the fasteners hand tight, and waiting 30 minutes before torque is applied. This prevents initial squeeze out and metal to metal contact, so that the newly vulcanized silicone rubber can form a custom molded gasket. The key is to maintain a rough 1/8" gap between mating parts while it sets up for 30 minutes, then tighten. This formed gasket can resist temps up to 500 degrees Fahrenheit. We use it in cooling systems where it's always 220 degrees at 15 psi. A coating of this under your rubber sheet would work wonders on any lead bend. It could also be used on those gerber style tub drain assemblies where there's a gasket at the overflow/drain switch, if the tub angle isn't mating right. The above mentioned procedure works wonders, even if you're just loosening screws and feeding it in there with your fingers. 😂
awesome...thanks Paul.
Chuck is the best! I appreciate all of your videos!
thanks beo....how was the music for ya?
@@ChuckBarron Love the background music. Not too low and not too high!
ok cool....whats your fav music? i hit it up.
Death or speed metal Chuck. Can you make it happen? Lol.
love me some heavy metal.... i will look it up
Awsome fix Chuck
thanks J....bought us both time....hopefully years
Nice work sir
That was awesome.
down and dirty here.
Owner walking through house, hears “there it is for daddy” 🤣🤣
lol
I was going to recommend the rainbow packing with the know hub clamp and the roofing cement.I thought you might would take another route.
I have use that stuff multiple times on cast iron and lead,for people that don’t have any money.There’s also this special padding roofers use heat it up nice with a torch,you have to be careful when it gets hot.Then you slap it on the pipe like the flexseal patches when it’s hot works good and put clamps on to hold it.
ya this is the extent of my faking it till we make it. next step is full gut. thanks anthony
Great job CB 1 thanks for the video
Thanks for tuning in Ron.
To anybody that's never had the pleasure of working underneath the house in a crawl space that really sucks the plumber deserves whatever he charges you because it's a real sucky job I used to do when I was younger now I'm in my sixties wouldn't even try it anymore really makes you appreciate having a house with a basement when it comes to plumbing repairs
We doing it and I can you have too...plumb on brother.
Amen, Brother! I still have nightmares.
Amen!
Hi had a similar situation and i used the clamp and Gorilla glue construction adhesive it turns to rubber and can be used on wet surfaces comes in a caulking tube and it is white in color.
awesome...good stuff. bought some time for sure.
Hey Chuck; nice fix!... I will also layer it with some of that good ole wax from the wax ring when it's a wet fix. Seals it pretty good!... Dan/ Master plumber
This joker holding fast....until the gut.....thanks dan
Nice fix Chuck. Now I remember why I don’t do crawl spaces. Lol
Thanks Rj.....
CB! Is that a wrap🙏O MAN MAY THE PLUMB GODS BE WITH YOU
yes please.
Nice job! Do you have any videos on the same but under the slab? That the problem i have now. Thanks! for the videos very detailed!!
no slab work and thank you
Plumbers sure are hard on screwdrivers. I guess that's why the Snap-On truck doesn't stop at plumbing shops. Looks like you have a solid practical fix. Probably hold up for 20 years.
I love my chisel driver. lol....thanks sam. I hope so.
CB-1 I had also mentioned roof tar because it works they use it on wet roofs when they are leaking so it would work for you as well peace brother
yes you did and i had already hired my roof muk can...ha. we were on same page. I just happen to see on shelf at shop and had an epiphany.
That blue glove 🧤 CREW!! CB2 still on them solder lessons? Got me a nice pro press machine the other day.. I’m digging it.. not gonna lie... had to install some 2” riser shut offs at a school, said you know what I’m buying a pro press.. awesome tool..
Yes...How nice was it to press while it was still dripping.. good stuff....Game changer for sure.
Hey bud I would of used a husky band since it’s way wider , not a bad idea. But 50/50 soldier would of worked too, heat it up a lil & melt it in. Goes in like butter.
Watching this one had me on edge every minute. I wanted to hold that clamp in Place...!
lol...thanks robert.
Good job boys
thanks alex. a mess but it worked
"The winner and still heavyweight champion of the world"............ CB1
after two knock downs....we earned a split decision....no rematch for years i hope
my business is called Everyday Plumbing. i like how you used that phrase at the beginning. im currently stuck on a job witha lead closet bend as well. hope i can learn something here
lead bend....the ugly.. how ya make out?
@@ChuckBarron i ended up just putting an expanding flange that set inside the original bend. the OD of the lead was not close to a cast iron no hub, so an insert flange was my best bet, without opening the wall to tie into the vent stack
PLease tell me what the coating you put on with the small brush on the pipe ???
excellent work, how much do you charge to do it?
Wish I knew the name of that can of seel you used? Or was it roof tar? Great videos!
roof muk
Sometimes just not feasible to do it 100%. Repair could last 24 hours or 24 years. I just did same type repair with 30 year old water fountain. Part was $90 plus another hour of labor. Unit needs replaced not repaired. Good fix Chuck and thanks for video!
yes...i want 24 years..ok 12 will do....lol
I hear what you saying CB, my truck engine blew a head gasket and after putting some sealant in the radiator, I was able to drive it another 1000 miles. It's just a band-aid to buy time and solve the big unexpected problem.
yes yes
Everything is pretty much a band aid to some degree. Even brand new houses are not built to last.
To anybody reading this, as long as the head leak is not involving combustion pressures in the water jacket, stop leak works. BUT... check the oil frequently for clouding. If clouding is ever observed, stop driving. Either reseal and change the oil, or do the head gasket immediately. The engine WILL seize, and you'll need a new car. - Paul, Pro auto tech.
You should try using an impact drill to tighten your ferncos instead of a no hub wrench. It tightens then to the perfect torque and is much quicker.
hmmmmm I like that idea. Thank you.
impact driver?
Chuck,have you ever used (JB water weld) on anything.
yes..last attempt but i was impatient with water dripping botched it because of area wet.
Good job chuck .... I know it worked but I think if you gave the pipe a good cleaning and sanded it down before putting rainbow and no hub clamp you would have gotten a better seal even tho it seems to have sealed
in hind site your right especially with the mesh cloth i use...next time there is demo day. lol
i love to see that 20-something really enthusiasm son... as an apprentice myself, i can relate to that! non long ago i was like that... XD than at somepoint you man up or become 30 and become more professional by necessity. :P
That is awesome! We are going pro before your very eyes in the next few years God Willing.
4 band would've gave you some more coverage....nice job I would of done same
yes...even better. thanks matt
What should I charge for a cast iron 4in., in ceiling drain line pipe with intermittent drip leaking and creating a moldy drywall ceiling. Think I will just epoxy it. How much should i charge for that? and/or replacing a 10 ft section with PVC?
a fare market value for yourself plumber
What was the name on the can of the “caulking, sealing, repair” stuff you held up to the camera?
i had a two part epoxy. I forget what company. I also used roof cement.
Flexseal ????
How about using flex seal would that work?
Not sure.
Would a wilder band be better, but you see the angle difference coming from the galv pipe to the copper pipe 12:18. Blue NZ
We got it done blue. still holding fast.
And the steady drip meant the commode or shower was running constantly
Oh my lead repair still holding. No leaky leaky..a family member here and you know they be calling. lol.
Might have tried flexseal on this
heard bottom paint for cars works good too
Almost forgot Chuck go on Google and type in fluidmaster waxless toilet seals , for resetting and setting toilets.
roger that..thanks floyd
That was so funny I've got 1 in
nice.
Admirable work Chuck! please wear a P-100 mask chipping anything, you have 1 life brother.
I will look them up for sure....thank you Brian.
in Yoga its known as the crouching plumber pose......
my neck! my back!
Next time glue the rubber to the coupling prior to placement
Black mamma all the way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
got er done!
drip drip drip drip, the crapper needs a new flapper :))
I thought the same. It was not running. I just think that it held some water in a dip in bend.
How long do you think that’ll last?
it's been years. Still no bath reno
did you consider soldering it
actually i did not...I have never worked with lead that way or have seen it done. so i learned a few things from you guys too..I have been in service for 33 years and never saw it done. thanks mike
Do u have sewer water running down ur arm
oh just a wee bit of pee pee...lol....clean water or so called clean as it can be.
The way you fixed it was my second idea( my second bandaid comment ) so I'm gonna need a tiny shout out on a video...the shout out would be awesome cause my girl says you don't read anyone's comments
ok mike....for sure....tell the honey its coming. where you guys from?
Chuck Barron we are from CT
Connecticut in Da House!
I would be wearing a respirator, its a health hazard breathing in all that old dust and silicate, but good job!
Your Ingenuity was excellent . the reason why the epoxy did not is because the pipe was wet if you could have got it completely probably dry it would have worked
ya for sure....I gotta thank my man Bean for plumbing tip on clamp with rainbow. I made the call...I should of called stevie lav....ha. next time I will...
@@ChuckBarron Steve's motto is when in doubt cut it out
Shes a leaker mama shes a leaker
Shitshow
Don't know how much you got paid for that but man you earned it. Nice one!
getting it done. Coffee money
I'd LOVE to know what you charged these folks for this entire job...
a bath remodel is needed. a few dollars for sure
Why and how was all that concrete up there?
thats an old mud tile floor from back in the day..a true lost art for sure.
@@ChuckBarron, art is in the eye of the beholder. Looks like a mess to me!
That's just a temporary fix right?
for sure. Bath needs to be upgraded big time.
1 small leak for mankind lol
ya that sucks I would do exactly the same forget melting the lead that just bad news
Still holding today......bathroom gut next.
i wonder if hyraulic cement might have worked on that
You should have your helper chip all that shit off of that cast iron.
for sure.
un-natural position = plumbers life lol
get comfy
after working down there i think you need a long bath.
CB2 open that kitchen line again....oh thats right its tied in now....lol
That's like putting lipstick on a pig. For a little bit of time you could have removed the Lead bend and replace it
sure but if customer does not want to remodel whats the next move....some lip stick.
only a matter of time before the rest of it starts leaking. putting a repair clamp on it is a temporary repair isn't fixing anything
Consumer advised.
Red Rubber
that was a challenge off the job akward place to work dripping water on your elbow who doesn't love plumbing cb2 take it easy let addy work😀
I
love it....drip drip drip down down my arm.
Titebond weathermaster in a caulk tube...dispels water...hmmmm?...nice fix!
thanks mike...not my usual but It'll work for them now....she happy
I'm not a big fan of the lead closet flange let alone one with a pipe on the side
time for repipe but some folks just holding on.
i don't know personally if i would've touched this job with that massive concrete tumour there. if that would've came loose and landed on your head she'd be game over. i would've pulled the old safety card on this one. i bet you that concrete mess is partially working like a riser clamp on the floor in a way as well for the stack. needless to say the next guy whose gotta change that all out is gonna have a fun time
I should of wore a helmet.....ha
mumbles an old saying "never send a boy to do a man's job" git-r-done!
yeah it looked large and heavy, probably wont ever fall until someone jackhammers or sledgehammers it from the top. a face shield did come to mind though
jb weld marine
Man o Man....i tried and i forced issue with it dripping and failed the first time.
Cut that shit out and redo it lol
brother..tick toc goes the clock...that call is coming.
Funny
plumbing is so fun.
In New York we fix it not buy em some time lol
you made the best of a bad job!
thanks d....hope it last 10 years...
Surgery
STAT!
A real plumber would have taken out the old lead and replaced it with correct piping, that quick job will be leaking again in a month.
yea chucky the bunny u saved the day 4 the family nex time dollars u not a charity ru bigg daddy
It all will work out in da wash...you know us plumbers always win...For the team! plumbing here for life!
i just saw your looking for a plumber but im sorry i woudnt work for you
first of all you have to fix were that leak is coming from
then you have to try to clean the lead and try to repair the lead by sweating a piece of lead on it
or the same technic as yours but using the MJs rubber not a showr pan rubber
and leave the cut on the top part of the lead pipe
Mike Mike, come on..you and I both know we would kill the game. Your expertise in lead repair sounds great but we both know a bath renovation is needed. I personally like to see how you would do that lead repair laying on your back like i was. Demo team and Medic on stand bye.
There’s always a way to fix it the rest is just excuses
And if it false the pipe or the house will break before it can hurt me
Why do you wear gloves 🧤😄
hmmmmm.
Drinking water
Spring water...ha
The young buck should be doing that labor not dad.
I am just not into this. I've walked away from some of these jobs, but I never did this shit. Part of being a licensed plumber is holding systems to a standard. I know you're just trying to buy time, but you have created a future mess and potential health hazard. Sometimes we, as plumbers have to push people to do the right thing, or just walk away. Let some handyman bullshit things together. We are licensed for a reason. Just one mans opinion, we all have to put food on the table.
again....I here ya and Im totally into what your saying Im not into patch and go either. kind of obvious after all my questions to my fellow plumbers on what epoxy to use. I would of taken floor up, removed furl and installed a 4x3 abs furl into cast tee and repiped and a new drain to vanity. The tub already done from years ago.. ...I did this for a family member. one bath a big issue too. not to mention my schedule at the present time. I was happy buy us both time. appreciate you point Joel. Plumb on . what state you out of?
While everyone pretty much knows when you see a 1960's bathroom that after 50 years, its time to change some stuff. But not everyone wants to, or has the money to do it. You'll make more money with repeat customers getting corn and potatoes stuck in their drain, rather than forcing them to replace the whole bathroom.
for sure rick...thanks and thats the case here.
sounds like a union plumber.....
throttle bottle I am a union plumber spot on sometimes what people don’t realize is we don’t get to just go in and do what we want customers have to pay so you get a guy like the one above holier than though but it’s not always the way it works
Cut that shit out and plumb it properly
When you tell customer the plan and the cost and they stop breathing there is a problem. Thats why the patch for now.
Sorry bud I was drinkin a lil bit when I wrote that. Lol ya I've had to patch stuff before simply because we were so swamped we didn't have time or the customer was fixing to go out of town for a month
man no offense taken.....if i was soft i would not be on youtube.
