Wow Donald, that was the best ( for us) and the worst ( for the home owner) gush for a while, the gift that kept on giving. It’s bank holiday Monday here in the UK, and that was a great BH treat, thank you. Flowing like a river 😊
@@NYDRAINS ha , a UK Bank Holiday is the same as a public holiday in North America. Basically, the banks, businesses (and GOV offices) are closed hence the name. Mostly a DIY day or family day, even a BBQ if the weather is nice.
Oh Drains under the House. Much Drains, what Block. Open and a Swell Water come out. Work with the Spiral drill, much Paper and Wet's come out. You work to All Side. The Water run down. Very good Work . 💪👌👍
Good job Donald.......At least there wasn't new snowy white carpet down there! And you didn't need to go into the crawl space! Things could always be worse! Have a good week.
Great job Donald 👍 When will people learn that you shouldn't flush wipes. When I helped my uncle clearing lines, he would say sometimes you have no choice...pop the top
That setup for the sump pump discharge is not legal in my country. The line must never join a sewage line, but be discharged directly out side. Super job, Donald
And which country is that that I should never ever go to if you’re discharging to the public air?! People are stupid, they put all sorts of stuff down drains, including chemicals so which country is that again?? 🤔🤨🧐
@@Doing_it_right_the_first_time sump pumps are for ground water and rain water leaks. Not for sewage. It makes total sense that you cant tie them into sewer lines.
In my country (Austria/Europe) it is completely ilegal to dump any sewer water outside. Everything hat to go to sewage treatment plant by law, (almost) without exception. Even a septic system is absolutely illegal - we have to build a "real" 3 chamber sewage treatment plant or a sealed collecting pit that has to be emptied at short intervals if there is no public sewer around...
I’m a plumber in Texas and what is the purpose of the trap ( building trap) in the main line? Now I get the back water valves or checks in the main line, we do that down here .
Its code, plus it prevents methane gas, rats, and bugs from coming back into the house and prevents larger clogs/objects from traveling further down the line.
Been a good bit since we have seen a line with THAT much pressure backed up in it but that likely as coming from nearly all the lines to get that much water. Tell you one thing, them having to clean out that sump pump catch basin is not gonna be a fun experience. :P That's gonna be a smelly mess.
Jeee, WHAT A MESS 😩! Another one where you just think: Why in the world didn't they call a little earlier ... Great job, no hesitation although you knew what was coming 👍
That gush was even bigger than that one you did last year outside when I joked it would have looked like you struck oil of it wasn't for the cover. How does a pipe get under that much pressure?
that run along the crawl space is just waiting to clog.. im guessing paper and sewage built up in that line then got pushed as a glob down to the main trap area and shut the whole house down.. you can see that uphill area.. wonder what the deal is with that just laying on the crawl space floor..
I may have asked this before but have you ever been back to a place that had wipes as the big issue and they denied but you get another call 6 mths later you get a call with the same issue. Also using the fluffy tissue paper causing havoc.

Hey, NYDRAINS? I’m thinking You won’t see this, but if getting a new camera would fix this please get one (if you can of course)! My problem is that whenever the pipe unclogs and bursts, the quality around the burst is weird and turns into squares. If you pause during it happens you can see what I mean. Thanks!
Hey, I usually use a Gopro12, but on this particular day in question I was using my 2nd camera the GoPro8 which both are recording in 4K, because i accidently drop the camera and cracked the lens, so I'm not sure because it looks crystal clear on my end. 🤷♂️
I did on the second floor In the beginning because that was the initial clog. Unfortunately, an hour later got a phone call . The 1st fl was now clogged, and the customer was not paying for a remove n reset again! Plus, it was a long run and wouldn't get down in the trap.
@@NYDRAINS I always wondered if u can clear a house trap from an another floor toilet flange lol good work man . Keep the videos coming bro thanks for the response
@@NYDRAINS yeah definitely makes sense. I always run the line from a clean out of possible. But some homes in Baltimore don’t have any cleanouts in the home anymore. The easiest jobs are ones I can hit from a clean out in the yard holding water and never have to go inside lol
@@fatman3785 I have to be in the defense of Donald on this one like I usually am because I do the same thing that he does and when there is that kind of pressure and a small thin wall of soap scum and grease and other stuff that’s holding it in, there is no such thing as a “slow release“! It’s still under pressure and it’s still going to pop with velocity! It wasn’t like there was a check valve on the other side and the only thing we could’ve done was pump it afterward that was not the case in this situation where it could be that way.

Excellent job and explanation of how the plumbing works 😊
Glad you enjoyed it!
That was a real gusher but thank God that you opened it right by the main drain! Once again proof you don't flush towels down your toilet!
😉👍
There's always something like pleasure just being able
to watch this ...from a couch point of view--- Nice one, Donald....🤗

Lol, thanks 👍
Excellent Donald, wishing you health and happiness man.
Thanks, same to you Nigel 👍

It wouldn't be a Donald video if he wasn't swimming in human waste. Strange place to keep ones light bulbs. Well done mate, cheers for the video.
Lol, thanks Milhouse 👍
Big gusheroo! Nice job Donald.
Oh yeah! Thanks Fire 👍
Man alive, I think that might have been the biggest one yet. They were kind of saved by having that sump pump installed there. Good work.
Took the words out of my mouth Glenn 💪😉👍 thanks.
Nobody does it better than you, Donald! That was fantastic!!! ✌️🏳️🌈✌️
Glad you enjoy Bryan 🫡
Wow, that was unbelievable! Haha! Very entertaining content Donald, thanks.
Thanks Geraldine 👍
Look at that Gateway computer box! What a relic!
😉👍
got bought out by ACER and still going now, the company i mean. I doubt that computer will be much used after being flooded by sewer water.
Good job Donald.......At least there wasn't new snowy white carpet down there! And you didn't need to go into the crawl space! Things could always be worse! Have a good week.
For sure! Thanks David 👍
Excellent repair on a difficult job.
Thanks 👍
That’s a plumber’s version of old faithful right there. Awesome job Don.
Lol, thanks Horace 👍
What a gusher Donald, good job that pump was there else flooded basement . Well done.

Plumbing nightmare. Good job Donald

Great job Donald 👍 When will people learn that you shouldn't flush wipes. When I helped my uncle clearing lines, he would say sometimes you have no choice...pop the top
It's true Ken, thanks 👍
That pressure was wild! Great vid to start the week.
Thanks 👍
Definitely a top 10 gusher

A little bit of water got on the floor. 😂
Lol
Nice job Donald 👍🥰🙏

Thar she Blows.
Should the sump pump outlet be connected to the other side of the trap?
Thanks for sharing
Usually, the traps need to be free and open for maintenance, not occupied with a sum pump or washing machine hose that you typically would see.
Wow what a gusher, awesome lol
😉👍

Gusher galore holy crap literally 😅
Lol
That gush was even bigger than that one you did last year outside when I joked it would have looked like you struck oil of it wasn't for the cover. How does a pipe get under that much pressure?
Just under 60 ft.(give or take) of line from 3 different directions fed by gravity 🤯

Wow, Gateway Computer boxes……they were quite the thing in the 90s!

Sweet fancy Moses!!!! What a shit show!!! Epic!! Nice work!! I know she was gonna blow!!
Thanks 👍
Hope no wet wipes fell in the sump pump pit, they will clog it. Nice work.
I dout it, thanks 👍
I hope you buy the extended warranty with those light!
That poor little sump pump 😂
Lol
Yay, another Bellagio moment...

2:30 now that’s a lot of water
That was the most tentative here goes nothing I’ve ever heard from you!

Almost as much a gyser as 115 when you went wipe-water rafting lol
A gusher of POOPOO!
Lol
Holy shit 😳 😳
🤯
oh gosh, whats left on the floor has to air dry?
Think I'd have to move, it can't smell to good.
Should at least put down bleach then air dry.
They had a cleaning lady there before I got there 😉👍
Wipes for days

I just hope the pump didn't intake the paper... that'd be the next repair.
I dout it, it was a small pump.
Judging by the size and placement of the sump pump pit this wasn't the customer's first rodeo.
😉👍
I think we should always open the downstream cap first. If it were me..
I do Tim, but in this case, they had a sum pump connected to the outline.
Can u pull a toilet and hit it that way with that house trap?
I did on the second floor In the beginning because that was the initial clog. Unfortunately, an hour later got a phone call . The 1st fl was now clogged, and the customer was not paying for a remove n reset again! Plus, it was a long run and wouldn't get down in the trap.
@@NYDRAINS I always wondered if u can clear a house trap from an another floor toilet flange lol good work man . Keep the videos coming bro thanks for the response
@drainjunkies np, honestly, it's too far away. It's possible, but if the clog is deep in the trap, it's not happening.

Check out Clogged Drain #26 , it does come in top 10 Hugh 😉
Is there an exorcism happening upstairs?

3:44 yuck 🤢

And all that for $49.95
So you couldn't have taken the lid off the other side and cleared the blockage from that side. I think you just like making a mess for the videos.
He would've had to dismantle the pump in order to do that....
that was my thought. Take off the small rubber hose connecting the sump, pop the outlet cap and slowly break the blockage.

it still would have exploded. the amount of water would be too much for the pipe size.
Won’t all that toilet paper plug up the sump pump?
It was enough to block the sewers!
