Mike, your intro to each video looks very nice. Who did it for you or what software/app did you use to create it? I need something similar for my business. Thanks!
Some comments on another plumbers YT vids were busting on ya. They said all you do is replace and never repair. I stood up for Pipe Dr. and a couple agreed. When u r one of the best, you'll get that... Nice one here !
@@PipeDoctor When I first moved in I jack hammered out part of a closet floor to put in a floor safe. I also made a plastic tent but still nasty. Mine was probably about 1/20th of what that floor took. I'm guessing they never got the pitch right or it shifted when they poured. All the houses down here are like that. Some plumbers if it's close to an outside wall will dig under it from a few ft out but either way a nasty job. I hope their homeowners is going to pay part of it. Everything is fixable with time and money.
Nice install!! A that lead pipe?? Would make a nice museum piece but you know? I find it ironic as old as I am and I have drunk hundreds of thousands of gallons out of lead pipes and guess what still kicking I still got the old lead cup that hung on the windmill we drank out of . I’m still here.. Personally I think it’s a big hype not saying that it ain’t true saying I think it’s a little over kill .🤷🏻♂️ ( edited fur a spell boo boo )
I about shit when you showed that old lead service. I thought it was still hooked in to the house at first. I don't know New York's plumbing code but in Kentucky if that lead service was still hooked in it would have to be reported to the state and the health department. Lead services are illegal in Kentucky.
Just for the sake of accuracy and information. A lead water service pipe from many decades ago will almost never show any deposited lead in a water sample and is considered safe for continued use (not that I would have one in my house)! The reason for this is because of the natural minerals such as calcium, magnesium and iron That naturally exist in the water, over the years, these minerals build up a barrier on the inside of the lead pipe. Lead being a soft malleable metal and incidentally is also a reactive metal makes it very easy for the minerals to chemically bond with it. A lead water service pipe that has been in use for many decades ( as long as it is not disturbed, cut or repaired) will most likely not leach any lead into the water supply! Many places in the country and the world including NYC! All the boroughs! Still have tens of thousands of lead water pipes in service! Lead water contamination is obviously still a real problem in so many cities and states, however, that contamination almost always comes from outside sources such as contaminated aquifers, contaminated holding tanks and human error.

@@PipeDoctor what about the tags that you put on the valves? Is that the same company?
@@greekmaster1001 yes, Footbridge Media Printing
In Michigan to pass the journeyman plumbers license in 1960 we had to wipe a lead straight joint and a inch and a half Y joint to pass the state exam.
Did you test it after you installed it?
Did you use an insert to press onto the M copper? Thanks Mikey!
The Old Weighty Watts Valve should go to the HVAC Backflow Museum. 😬👍
It’s gonna be sad to see that melted
Hi Mike, A question, you Installed a double check valve, but I see something before it. I though you are not allowed to have anything before the DCV
whats before it? the DCV is for the lawn irrigation system on an isolated line.
Wow no pipe dr floor mat
I know I lost mine
Where is Daniel??? Did he stop making content?
He’s too busy hustling

Same

It’s heavy, why not adding extra support 😊 Mike F Pipe
I don’t think it’s necessary

ok, thank you for posting that information
Talk about an antique
crazy OLD!
Very Nice Install, Mike! 👍🙏
Thanks 👍
People think Mikey always wants to replace old with new. Mikey respects old equipment still running. As long as it’s not broken
Agreed 👍
Back flow on irrigation.....
Should have snagged that lead pipe.
I don't believe the pipe was lead just the soldered joints, old way.
It was lead
It was lead
don't forget to breathe deep when smelting all that "lead" containing materials, yummy lead vapors. 🤪
Great point!
No drip tube
Huh?
@PipeDoctor there's a drip cap that goes on underneath bf. I would put it on then put drip tube on.
Come on mikey. You don't have a 1" backflow in stock.
nope, not a DCV
Heck yeah smelting 😊😊😊😊
I agree
Stop scavenging
Why? It’s fun!!!
