Hello everyone and thanks for watching!!! Post in the comments if you have ever had to deal with this orange burg pipe and your experience with it. Thanks again!
Oh yeah we run in to it about once a year on old houses. We don't try to repair it we replace it.
The stuff is junk the only way to repair is epoxy sleeve it
I used to replace orangeburg all the time when I was plumbing. I like your content it’s good stuff. I have seen in several of your videos you primer or glue the pipe then try to fiddle with while you prime the fitting. I always prime or glue the fitting first before you can set it down without getting dirt in the glue why you glue the pipe.
It's so cool, to see people with skills fix stuff.
thanks!
Awesome work 👍🏽👍🏽
I like how you pulled the pipe under sidewalk!
thanks
Backfilling is by far the most satisfying part.
yes it is!!
Orangburg is also used for electrical conduit. It is a asphalt impregnated asbestos product . we had to treat it as a hazardous material and despose of it accordingly.
yea it’s the asbestos fibers that get in your lungs, I just left it in the ground why even dig it up? thanks for watching my friend!
Im liking your content. Just wanted to say that it takes a "special" kinda guy to work on sewer lines in crocs!
Hahah I kno rite!! That was actually the homeowner
I've used a small tire it works good to pull it through
sweet
Being a 'victim' of a restricted soil pipe, I know the sheer joy the owner had when you finished, no more having your loo back up or crap coming out of a shower drain.
Haha u got that rite brother!!
I have ran into the orangeburg pipe a few times. Much like this sewer it was in very bad shape. I am located in Southern Illinois. Very nice job! Really enjoyed the video and thank you for sharing!
thank you so much jake!! I really appreciate it very much
@@TheHomePros6221, your welcome!
Awesome video really enjoyed it!!
Nice job. Funny to see soil without huge stones in it 😅. I have a load of clay pipe here. During the building I ran a new pvc line from a new bathroom to it. Dug down 6ft by hand and missed the line by a few feet so had to start again. Eventually found it, but left a friend tie it in 😅. Keep em coming buddy 🙂👍
Dang that sucks Dave!! But glad u got it done in the end, thank u so much for watching!!
I know rite!! Even at my house the ground is full of rocks and stones haha
another excellent job as always
I appreciate that thank u so much!!
Awesome job!
thank you so much!!
It's literally just a roll of felt paper. I've dealt with it for years and years. I've seen it inside of walls of homes it never has an issue but as soon as it goes into the ground it's toast. This stuff was used because of the shortage of metals during the War.
you are completely correct sir
Nicely done.
Thanks Jeff!
i like this video .About to jump in and do my mamas house fix her pipes ..
Thanks for the education brother ,,
your welcome👍
Fanstastic video! your back at work bro, does that mean your health has improved some? I have never seen pipe like that before, here we have all pvc (the bigger ones are just concrete) and for outside/underground code requires to put a pvc that has thicker walls then normal, their all color coded, orange goes outside and gray goes inside. You did a good job pulling that pipe out of there, i was sure you need to remove the concrete walkway, clever thinking right there buddy. Hope to see more videos like these in the future.
Hey ants thanks for watching!! This job was for a friend of mine who owns the house ( the guy in the vid) he got some extreamly high quotes for the work and asked if I could please help him out and he said he will do all the hard work do to my health, I told him if I had a day or two that i didn’t feel as bad I would help him out, so that’s what we did, I’m still not working full time I’m mainly doing stuff for friends or relatives/family. I have found there isn’t really a cure for it so I’m trying to deal with it the best I can some days aren’t as bad and other days are miserable, i try and keep a smile on my face and thank the lord im still alive and try to have hope of getting back to normal 🙂 thank you for all your help and support!!
Are you healthly now? @@TheHomePros6221
GOOD JOB !!
thanks🙂
Awesome mini. I have a Nissan n150-2 1.5 ton machine and yours looks relatively the same size. I really enjoy watching your mini work it makes me want to put mine to work more
that’s so cool I’d love to see videos of it!!
You do nice work.
Thank you Ron!! I appreciate it!!
Nice job👍
Thanks 👍
glad you enjoyed it my friend
Good idea for pulling the pipe out from under the sidewalk.
thanks haha
17:36 nice team work haha :D
hahah I know rite! lol
I had to replace mine and guy that did it said it was made out of shingles . And said it just takes a little hole for roots to break through.
yep he was right basically a shingle pipe lol they used them because the war was using up all the metal to build planes,tanks..ect
MM77 👍🏼👍🏼 Approved …………I ESPECIALLY approve of your helpers choice in foot wear!! I’m a Crocs guy too and I’m a big guy!!! LOL!!
Hahaha beleive it or not that was the homeowner lol!
Hahaha beleive it or not that was the homeowner lol!
@@TheHomePros6221 LOL, I believe it!!! If I have to get someone to do something at the house that I can’t do or don’t know how to do, I ALWAYS try to help, even if it’s just to see how it’s done!! LOL!!! Oh, I have never heard of orange burg pipe nor dealt with it, but I can tell it’s CRAP!!!
Lol!! I don’t see the orangeburg much but it was used a ton during the 70s due to the Vietnam war and metal usage, the stuff is junk but I guess nothing lasts forever except maybe diamonds or gold lol
I’m out here in Northern California and have removed plenty of nasty orangeburg pipe and replaced with clay for awhile because terracotta pipe was used for years as well. But as regulations change I’ve transitioned to ABS and now I guess we’re moving onto pvc.
I enjoy the videos but I have to ask . Why is your helper wearing crocks instead of decent work boots?
yep they used this stuff because cast iron was being used for the war. lol that was the home owner he was wanting to help out 😁
Never seen sewer pipe that shallow. Must be warm in winter there.....6' deep for us
Yep georgia we don’t get snow
I have really come to enjoy all of your videos and seeing some of the breadth of your skillset. I sorry you're not feeling better and I'm sending my prayers your way. I'm wondering if that degree of slope compromises the lubrication of the excavator engine. I have read that greater than 30 degrees is to be avoided. I have a John Deere 35 D mini and am worried I may damage it when pulling out cattails from my pond with a fairly steep slope. What do you think? Should I use mats under the front of the tracks to level it off? Having said that, I've seen plenty of excavators on hillsides with nothing used to improve the level angle. Kind Regards, Craig
thank u so much my friend!! I would do anything to be better ☹️ I was thinking the same thing I hope it hasn’t done any damage to the engine, unless it’s like tipped over I don’t think it will hurt it
Not being able to flush the toilets would be a pain.
sure would
Thanks for the video, doing a very similar thing this Saturday, rented a mini excavator, we are putting pea gravel under the new pipe-do you think thats unnecessary?
awesome! It’s not nesassary to use gravel instead I’d use sand or just backfill with dirt
Do you have to have the plumbing inspected?
I always have to when I do work in the city.
yes
The excavator videos are second best after your ATV/ATC videos. That pipe sure was bad! What was it made of? Looked like tar paper or something.
Thanks nils 🙂 yea it was like a tar paper pipe they used back in the 70s
Nice excavator. Is that one in particular any good. Any issues so far. Would you recommend it. Thanks. Also, do you have a video about your excavator?
Thanks it’s a 2012 IHI 9vx-3, IHI is now Kato, these are Japanese machines and are very well built!
@@TheHomePros6221 Awesome!! Thanks for the quick reply. 🫵🏽🤘🏽
How has the excavator been for you, considering one just like it.
it’s been pretty good no complaints, I love the yanmar engine!!
Hey Watched a few of your vids, digging this mini excavator. Is it still running for you?? Just curious since Im interested in one similar. Thanks.
yes it’s a great running machine and has a yanmar diesel engine
How heavy is the mini digger?
I beleive it’s 1.5 ton
Why glue is used instead of factory-ready rubber seals inside the pipe?
this is schedule 40 glue together pipe very commonly used here
You could have fixed that pipe with some more paper and tar and maybe some feathers. The trick is to not grow trees. Problem solved. What were they thinking?!?!?
Been there, done that. There is a big business for fixing that throughout the U.S. I believe alot of those pipes happened in the 50's. Do you think what we are replacing them with is enough?
haha yep but u gotta have the feathers lol
We did not see how you packed the dirt in underneath the walkway.
Did you pack it in with the shovel handle or some other method?
I packed it in stages with shovel and water to make sure it flowed under and settled
@@TheHomePros6221 pushing in some by hand and then packing it in with the shovel handle works really well.
yes sir
Can I point out something don't mean to be rude or anything I saw another video of the mini excavator like yours the guy said it wasn't digging properly it turned out that the teeth were install wrong and the one you have on yours look the same he installed them inside the bucket it work better
thanks for the info! it does dig fine though, if you find the video could you link it here I want to watch it🙂 thanks

how many hp is your mini?
it’s 10.5 hp but it feels like a lot more
Nice video but some of us could do without the music.
We like to hear the equipment working instead of the music.
Hey thanks Kerry I only put music in at spots were the go pro doesn’t record sound in time lapse, so without the music it would be completely silent no noise at all
@@TheHomePros6221 some people use video editing software that speeds up the audio with the video without changing the pitch and it works really well.
Yes I do use that sometimes, I can’t use it all the time though because it’s just wayy to much to upload my computer can’t handle it and it takes forever so I have to record it in time lapse on the go pro cause it uploads very quick
Time to break out the chainsaw
Was thinking about doing that but it would dull the blade in a sec
I have ran into that with my mini and I have used a cordless sawzall and a couple of wood blades and battery’s to cut roots to either remove stump or just cut a right of way. SCH 40 is pretty tough especially compared to orange burg
Speak!!! Say something!
Haha hi hello 🙂
A power washer or even a garden hose with a nozzle would have punched through underneath the sidewalk. Have done that many times.
there is no way it would have went through this one, this one was tough solid concrete with pebble stone on top
Don't ever use chandelier chain as a binder chain. WTF
are you dumb? that isn’t chandelier chain!!
