nice white mouse you caught at 20:01 🤣 as other have mentioned, be careful leaving the section unhooked dangling a short piece out of the cleanout. I have seen one get pulled right down into the line when a clog suddenly let go, it had to be fished out of the sewer main on the street manhole. they got lucky it went right through and was mostly laying in the main. DOH!
That machine is impressive! I used to run the og Rigid snake machine for a while. The old beard who trained me used to warn me not use aggresive heads because they might punch trough the old fragile cast iron pipes in the appartment houses and then you are screwed, in this case you are cutting roots and it sewms like a house so I'm not trying to say you are doing anything wrong. Towels are helpfull when retreiving cable, get's the mess off right away. Thanks for the vid and greetings from Finland!
Silver maple tree roots can pay for a plumbers lake home 💲💲 especially if you dont mention copper sulfate crystals to the customer. Spray paint that spring at 20ft. intervals to let you know how much line is out.
Looks like the entire neighborhood drops off their laundry at this residence, what did you do snake the entire sewer system 😂 After you sneezed did you clean the snots off your arm 😮
Just had to have this done. Called RotoRooter because I was certain it was tree roots and I only have a manual snake. Poor guy had to get that heavy machine down then up the basement steps. Not easy. And it was roots so it was worth the cost to have working drains. And I didn’t make him wade through a mess like you had to do.
draino (sodium hydroxide) with cast iron pipes is a bad idea. the homeowner should be doing monthly enzyme treatment for a few months and then quarterly going forward.
@@thehandymanexperience226 k60* and honestly it looks like it has plenty of power. It looks to be a dang nice machine especially to be battery operated. I sure love my Ridgid stuff but this seems to be very nice as well. You will get used to it over time. Sectional machines are the way to go 👍
@@thehandymanexperience226 i don’t know about that. I’ve heard when the battery goes halfway which can be in middle of the job that it loses power. It’s one of the biggest negative reviews about it.
Be careful leaving the sectional cable dangling outside the machine by itself! It may just drop into the pipe on you
THis! Man my uncle told me that when i bought his ridgid K 50. only takes a second for it to be gone and then your f'd!
Yea I was thinking the samething that's y I would pull it out enough to create some resistance and have it bend over a bit

Yea that is my worst nightmare 😱
Such a cute and happy dog! :) I have been in the customers exact situation with the toilet and washing machine problem.... :O
That’s why I stick with electrical and painting. Good job bud!👍
Lol I don't blame u

Thanks man for the info yea I should have used a smaller head to start off with I don't know if the pipe is collapsed
Ths property wins the Good Housekeeping seal of approval. How can they live like that?

In there defense their moving out but I wasn't happy how I had a super small area to work in lol so much stuff it sucked so bad haha
So many things can be wrong…Bird nest in the vent pipe! Roots in the main…on and on
Welcome to my world haha

Definitely a good idea I'm used to the drum snake where I'm guessing but as least these come in 15 foot sections
Well the customer's dog sure loves you. LOL
I know right !! I'll take all of the kisses!!
Wow please pick up your shit before you call in a handyman, my anxiety went up is soon as you walked through the door😔great job enjoy your videos 👏👏👏
Thanks man I appreciate it 🙏, yea it would definitely make my life alot easier!
That must have been very satisfying to have cleared that drain
Yea and no cus I got my but kicked I cut alot out. I just wanted to go home
$2600 for that Milwaukee. It also seems like it is messy and hard to clean. I will keep using my Gorlitz.
I don't blame you but the battery part is amazing and the spring is huge. It's like fighting a anaconda
Bless you. You sneezed in the beginning of the video lol
Thanks!!
Yes that's what every handyman likes to hear...... we tried draino eeeekkkkkk it always goes bad after that lol😂
Lol I hate that stuff but at least it might soften somethings up like the pipes hahhaahha
it's name even says "NO". 😏
Looks like you got the trifecta, wipes, tampons and roots!
Yea I was definitely not happy and just wanted to go home!!
Nothing like not cleaning up, having the dog jumping on you multiple times and giving you a 12” walkway all around the house to get to the main drain!
Lol 😆 gotta love it
Looks like the entire neighborhood drops off their laundry at this residence, what did you do snake the entire sewer system 😂
After you sneezed did you clean the snots off your arm 😮
Lol hahaha 😆 u caught them. 🤣 no cleaning hear 👏
Good job !!!!! Nasty roots can be a pain in the A**
Yea they definitely put up a fight!
Thought id clicked on an episode of Hoarders.
Lolll
Ive been thinking about getting a sectional....which do you prefer? Sectional or typical drum machine?
It's weird the drum snakes are fast and clean but they weigh a ton and can't get in small areas but sectionals are definitely more work

Yea mad respect for those guys haha!!! It's cus ur a good guy, wish everyone was like u
Good job! Drains are hard work and disgusting. Keep up the good work
Thanks!!! Yea it's definitely a work out, crazy stuff!!

Definitely a good idea
Thinking about getting a jet cleaner. Easier than running cable .
All I heard about them is that it could hurt the pipe but I have no clue about them
Could you mention the name of your boot covers!? Been looking for exactly those!
There called tidy trax Google them and go to their website
Now that you have used drum and sectional which will use going forward ??
The drum is definitely easier and faster but it weighs so much!!!
What is the model of that milwaukee drain snake you're using?
M18 FUEL Sewer Sectional Machine w/ 7/8" Cable Kit
Was that bathroom in the basement & all the things that were backing up were all in the basement?
It's a 1 story house with no basement
getting hands on experience, was it a "HAIR BALL?", thxs for sharing...
Hahaha yea definitely got my butt kicked on this one I cut a bunch out
you got experience to move forward with, was it a HAIR BALL?????@@thehandymanexperience226
Geez, that looked tough. Hope you charged a pretty penny for that
I charged a little should have definitely charged more
I bet you spent a few thousand on that new Milwaukee drain cleaner? I hope you charge the right price when using that machine?
I made a little bit but yea that thing wasn't cheap bro but I love it. I just have to get used to assembling the cables
thats a nice machine
Thanks and yea I definitely fell in love with it . The cables is what I have to get used to
can you please leave a link to the shoe covers your using. thanks great vids
Thanks dude love the name and picture haha just Google tidy trax and go to their website
@@thehandymanexperience226 thank you bud!
What’s the deal with the bumpy gloves? Would a regular pair not work?
Ugly gloves, prevents the spring from grabbing and breaking your hand/wrist.
@@mattp4079yep, the pros always use them. Saves hands from damage for sure .
Looks like these guys nailed it with the comments it's dangerous stuff, don't want to get caught up in the cable
What's up bro love the vids
Thanks dude I appreciate it!!!
What’s required for a Handy License?
You would have to see with your state and town
Is that a residential unit or a storage locker ?? 😱🤯🙄🤔😱
Hahaha I know right their supposed to be moving out soon but the tight areas gave me hard time
House was already a mess
HhHahaha nailed it 👌
This is why plumbers don’t like these machines they are almost impossible to clean
Yea it definitely did suck bad!!
Can’t even open the front door all the way! Talk about a safety hazard and health hazard. How do people live like 🤢
Yea in their defense their moving out haha but yea definitely a pain
That thing looks like it has no power
It's supposed to have more power than the ridgid k65

And trust me I’m interested. I use k-60 and k5208. They’re heavy though. But k5208 is a beast
@@DedicatedPlumber I use the k50 and k1500 but I’ve really wanted to get the new k5208. That thing looks sweet!
They work but to much labor to clean these things
Yea definitely alot of labor for this but my truck is only so big and it's definitely lighter
What the heck. They need to downsize
Hahah yea definitely a squeeze
