@@HomeRenoVisionDIY That is absolutely so true. There no such things - for the most part - as finding a contractor that you can rely on or afford - not in Chicago anyway.
its nice to just listen and focus on you working. im learning stuff and not thinking about my personal life and all the stress that comes with it. so thanks for that.
Wow! Jeff you taught class today. More than one plug on a circuit but only one circuit. Thank You. Planning for a large home addition. I will do a lot of work myself.
I've picked up a few tips & tricks, but mostly I just like watching you work and kibitz w/the camera guy. I like how you don't sweat the little things that go wrong.
Video is only as good as the camera work! If u can't get a close-up it's worthless so kudos to whomever is working the camera & mkg sure yhey r capturing ur every move. 🥳🥳🥳🥳
This is exactly what I was looking for! I plan on adding a bathroom to our mudroom and unfortunately it is on a slab, while the rest of the house is on a raised foundation. This seems like an easy solution to my problem!
Just a word of advice for terminating stranded wire, such as the dryer receptical. Always wiggle the wire (left to right, back and forth, as well as counter clockwise), after screwing down the connection, then screw it down some more. This will ensure a solid connection that will not work its way loose over time. This is the standard practice for every stranded wire termination in commercial electrical work in the IBEW.
What Jeff's using is cable. Wire is a single conductor (the ground wire) while cable is a bunch of little wires twisted together. Most new construction in the US is wire these days probably for the fact that there's a few extra building codes that come along with cable vs wire but I prefer working with cable if I can avoid wire. Larger gauge wire can be extraordinarily stubborn as hell to bend sometimes but stripping wire is a dream compared to stripping cable. It sounds like semantics but the difference is not trivial.
I installed one of these pumps in my basement, but I chose to have the washer dump into a utility sink, and the sink into the pump. That way, if the pump ever fails or the gfci circuit trips, I don’t end up with gallons of water all over my floor
I liked your already glued fitting removal trick. I've seen quite a few, but the sawzall+chisel method is nice and simple. Beats drilling anything out, or heating it up.

My god... it would take me a month to do this, he does it in (edited version) in 30 minutes. HE makes me feel way more confident than maybe I should feel.
The current NEC requires laundry area receptacles to be GFCI protected. That might be done at the breaker, but it's less expensive and more convenient to use a GFCI receptacle. It's a top priority location to retrofit if you want to improve safety.
Very detailed video. From viewing the install it looks like the fixtures are flowing down to the saniflow and pumping up to the main waste line. If so this method would be a solution for me. For my project, I first need to flow down to the macerator and then pump up to my main soil pipe. This is required to have a proper slope while keeping a headroom of 6'-10". If I use a saniflow macerator behind the toilet, the toilet area would need to step down and be below the level of the bathroom for the slope of the shower and sinks to connect to the saniflow.
I greatly appreciate you showing the steps, and solutions. And the ability to rewind, watch again helps also. Thank you Jeff. I have shared some of the videos before, this one I will also.
Love this series Jeff. So much that’s relevant to the sleep-out to studio apartment renno I’ve been doing this year and at exactly the right time. Have you guys got me under surveillance?😂
This is such a great video. The prospect of redoing my downstairs bathroom and finishing the neighboring laundry room is daunting. If I could afford to, it would have been done two years ago. The amount of work it's going to be and the cost is just...I'm going to be doing laundry with spiders for the next decade.
When you take it apart did you leave yourself enough room on the pipe to remove the system? you think the drain would fall into the last discharge point.
Hi Jeff, I'm looking for that drain pipe cutter you've got there and having a bit of a hard time finding it. I've checked out your Amazon recommended items and just googled drain pipe cutter /ABS cutter with no luck. If you could point me in the right direction it would be appreciated. You make drain work look fast and easy with that tool and I would like to add it to my tool list. Thank you.
I've always been taught to pigtail connections on an outlet vice running all the current through each outlet in series. that small clip on the outlet looks like the weak point that overtime would wear out from load cycling. that being said never had an outlet go bad so might just be adding needless work for myself.
The hard part is getting a vent in an existing structure. It has to be vented into the attic above the highest fixture in the house. That is at least code in my area
I dont understand the reason for two air vents? I have this exact pump, but not planning on two vents. Im running a bar sink and a dishwasher into this pump. Do I need to run two air vents? Thanks
Good day. Thank you for all that you teach us. I have a question - I've seen many say it is best to - after attaching wire to the receptacle -wrap electrical tape around the receptacle to cover the screws. Is there a reason why you didn't do this after attaching the wiring to your receptacle? Thanks!
I have an issue with my ac drain not draining properly so it gets backed up and since it's a unit in the hallway ceiling in a townhome, landlord keeps having a guy come out to drain but it lasts a dent week then it leaks out. I need constant vacuum to drain hose to force water to come down and drain through the sink drain in the bathroom where the drain hose goes into. Would something like this be doable to install under a sink to suck the water out of drain instead of relying gravity which doesn't seem to work given the catch drain under condenser is old and doesn't allow a good drain from it so it over floods and leaks out and into the floor. That catch pan is part of complete AC unit so it's not available given that unit is 30+ years old DVD requires someone to take dimensions and create a replacement part.
Yes the same solution works with PVC in the states. Cut and chiseled out an old toilet flange via the same method during my bathroom reno. Shocked how smooth it came apart with a good ole thwack of a mallet and chisel
WOW I have been waiting for some real saniflo installs. Can you use an indoor vent with it if you cannot get to house vent? Any experience with them failing?
I have the exact pump as well. So how did you end up running your air vent? AND- 1. Why did he run two air vents on this install? 2. Can you use an Air Admittance Valve “if” you can’t find a house vent.
Aren't those brass ball valve threads tappered? I have an irrigation backflow preventer that has a valve that drips and is a very common problem. The issue is when you have a male pvc say 1 1/2" connector to the female brass valve just using teflon tape the connection leaks. I read put the teflon tape on the pvc male then pipe dope over the tap This supposedly stops the drip. I haven't done it yet because was not sure of the correct process.Can you explain the correct way. This irrigation pipe is under extreme prezzure the city water pressure is insane.
How long is a pump like that expected to last? Everything is custom fitted. You'd have to redo it all if the pump failed and that model wasn't available.
I can see how this would work with waste shower water but what does one do with the toilet drain considering what's being flushed down a toilet?? The pipes you installed here can't possibly drain toilet waste. Thanks🙂
Hi Jeff I have a problem when I use my washing machine the water pipes making a lot of noise how can I fix that please could you give me an advice please thank you so much
Not quite on topic, but how do I keep my laundry room from leaking heat? The laundry room is the coldest room in the house. The new heat pump vent less dryers don't work for me - too small and too slow - so I am stuck with the hole in the side of my house for my dryer. What is the best way to minimize the heat loss from it?
You won’t believe it, I just failed inspection today installing the same Saniflo pump because I used a PVC ball valve on the discharge line. The saniflo manual doesn’t mention anything, but plumbing code in my area does mention using a non-corrosive metal ball valve on discharge lines. I wish the rough in inspector had caught this mistake.
Hi! Any recommendations on high-quality water pumps that can handle pumping up large amounts of water for a kitchen-sink and washer machine set-up in a basement? We live in split multi-level home (it's built on hill). The basement-kitchen/washer room is below ground level and our current water-pump is in the garage which is another level below the basement-kitchen/washer room. I'm thinking of buying a high quality pump and asking our landlord to handle the installation, so I can wash in the house instead of going to a laundromat. Our current pump was replaced by our landlord but it still overflows when we wash dishes so we cannot use a washer-machine despite here being hookups because it would flood our garage.
Great video !! I understand the laundry room should have a dedicated circuit of at least 20 amps, but why can't you have other circuits in a laundry room as well , if you chose to have separate 20 amp circuits ?
I remember you used ABS instead of cellular-core ABS pipe due to supply issues. Did that end up helping you avoid damaging the pipe when you removed the fitting?
@@ljcooil87 It's not required in US. Most ground cables inside 12/2 or 14/2 are sold without a sleeve. It comes as a bare copper wire, which is very obviously the ground.
Jeff love your videos. Just a quick question when I read the specs on that Saniflo model it says washing machines must be indirect but you installed it directly. Any problems or are there any specific requirements to hook it up directly like you did? Thanks
I would have ran the drainage pipe leaving the pump under the 240v outlet. Just in case, the pipe ever leaks (shouldn’t leak, but mysterious things happen) the water will be below the electrical. Just my personal preference.
I need to add a laundry room in a space next to my bathtub..can I use the bathtub drain to extend it and add a stand pipe for the washer drain.. would really help if you could make a detailed video explaining this as there is literally no content on RUclips to do this.
You're not supposed to go directly from the washing machine to the saniflow. You're supposed to dump it into your laundry tub first, then route that to your saniflow. And I believe your vent needs to upsize to 2" immediately after the saniflow outlet.
Am going to be replacing my washtub with a new one. The washer drains into it. Will have to install completely new piping. You make it look easy but I think I can make it work. Will be taking before pics. so I know how to reinstall the new plumbing with the right configuration with maybe a few adjustments.
It is a saniflo system pump. They make all kinds of them. They have maserators to grind up waste to use with toilets. You can install them in a basement so it flushes the waste up to your drainage pipe instead of using gravity to flow it away.
Lots of fittings there for that drain pump but looked pretty good in the end. I would have gone straight up with the outlet line and worked the vent around it, but that's just me....
I am huge fan of you guys for a number of reasons, the biggest one being your so informative and help me with my own home repairs. I am handing an 80lb medicine cabinet vanity. My bathroom studs are spaced 24” on center. The 4 pre-made mounting screw holes do not align with any of my studs. What would be the best way to secure this to the wall?
No one will notice if you use the bigger cover plate, but they will def notice if you do a bad patch or need to patch and didn’t. Totally worth the extra money just in case.
Hello, thanks for clip how ever, You are not allowed to use 90 degree Elbow fittings on Discharge pipes per manufacture recommendation and instruction. Just thought to let you know.

Hi im in the UK I'm having trouble cutting cornice. Ie the trim that goes around the top and bottom of the kitchen cupboards. I'm using an electric mitre saw and it keeps chipping the plastic finish on the cornice. I have a 100 tooth blade and it's new any advise
Oh my gosh!!!!! Please stop ending your videos like this!!!! Idea for you- do a few shots of your finished project. On a different note, I love your videos so much! You do great work and I love all the information and experience you show us!!! Thank you!
Can't do DIY in California for electrical or plumbing but that's only if you're getting permits. I'm out in the boonies so I don't have a choice since no trades person will come out my way no matter how much I bribe them 😭
Loved this! Great info and you make it look so easy. One thing - you looked very rushed in this video. You're usually much more relaxed. Hope all is well.
Reminder to put a note at breaker box that you turned off the power incase someone unaware your wo4king on a 220 volt line. You skipped over a BIG safety issue. I still admire your videos,,,,,

13:08, dumb question here, but aren't you required (or is it safer) to install a GFCI in this area, due to the plumbing being in close proximity?
Yea I was curious about this too. I thought it needed to be GFCI if it's within 6ft of a water source, unless it feeds to another branch circuit.
The current NEC requires laundry area receptacles to be GFCI protected.
That might be done at the breaker, but it's less expensive and more convenient to use a GFCI receptacle. It's a top priority location to retrofit if you want to improve safety.

Lots of fittings there for that drain pump but looked pretty good in the end. I would have gone straight up with the outlet line and worked the vent around it, but that's just me....
i get it but on a pump it makes no difference the trick is to have that 1 degree slope after it takes the turn and becomes a gravity situation.
With Dryer outlet would it best practice to wrap any exposed wire (black wire exposed at connection screw) with heat shrink or rubber electric tape??
best practice is to run a new line.

Hi im in the UK I'm having trouble cutting cornice. Ie the trim that goes around the top and bottom of the kitchen cupboards. I'm using an electric mitre saw and it keeps chipping the plastic finish on the cornice. I have a 100 tooth blade and it's new any advise
Put painters tape on the area you cut. Also go slow. Sometimes cutting from the backside can help with chipping
I did the same thing, but instead of cutting it I just reheated the pipe ( not hot enough to deform the pipe) and twisted off.
“This will fit like a glove”
*struggles*
Too real 😂
Oh my gosh!!!!! Please stop ending your videos like this!!!! Idea for you- do a few shots of your finished project. On a different note, I love your videos so much! You do great work and I love all the information and experience you show us!!! Thank you!
its better to use 2 45s then a 90 for the drain because of clogging
"This floor's low-ing" - I know exactly what Jeff meant but I just can't stop giggling. That needs to be a t-shirt.
Time stamp that.
Can't do DIY in California for electrical or plumbing but that's only if you're getting permits. I'm out in the boonies so I don't have a choice since no trades person will come out my way no matter how much I bribe them 😭
Loved this! Great info and you make it look so easy. One thing - you looked very rushed in this video. You're usually much more relaxed. Hope all is well.
Reminder to put a note at breaker box that you turned off the power incase someone unaware your wo4king on a 220 volt line. You skipped over a BIG safety issue. I still admire your videos,,,,,
I think an oscillating tool would have been little easier to use up against the wall like that
What awg did you run for that dryer?
Why does it matter? There is no set standard for a dryer plug. It all depends on distance. What he ran may not work for you.
It does matter of its an electric dryer.
any one else notice the switch of plugs, i was wonderig why he was going with the old style plugs on a new build
simple supply issues. had to resort back to the old face. Cheers!
thank you. love you
No problem 😊
Your the husband I have always dreamed about.
A solvent should melt the pieces together. That’s why it’s called solvent weld
it does but not as effectively as you might think. it more like bonds each pipe to the solvent which can be peeled off the pipe if needed.
Also.. curious- wat this costs? DIY VS paying for this done by some1 qualified? (Approx) Thanks 😊
I saved 2 trades and that means at least $3000.
