- My Neighbor Has a Drain Pipe Leak in the Wall...Part 1 This will show you how to fix a drain pipe with Copper drains. Was sewage leaking and it rotted the pipe all the way to cast iron pipe connections. Replacing copper drains with PVC/ABS. Subscribe here : / @thatfixitguy
I will show you how I got the leaded in joint where the copper and brass met the cast iron pipe. The repair on this drain leak was very time consuming. I did not want to make a cast iron drain repair as well! Cast iron drain replacement added to this job would have added a lot more time. I will also show you how to remove a cast iron lead joint! This lead joint is unlike any I've ever seen. I hope this video helps.

WOW Brian , what a mess ! This is where if an estimate was given for the repair and then this problem was found you can times the repair estimate by ten ! When you said "Oh what is that" when something started to come out of the upper pipe , well it sure did look like pee ! I salute you for dealing with that kind of insane mess ! Have a awesome weekend man !
Lol! I know Richard! I knew it was going to be a mess! You can never predict what the last guy did! And in this case what people are going to do! 😂 hope you have a great weekend as well!
I’m a plumber myself, and you’re an absolute Viking dude for sticking your bare hand down a sewer no glove at all. Good for you man. lol
"My neighbor flagged me down...."
Man, I wish you were MY neighbor!
Nice video.
Thanks! 😃 I wish I could have filmed the other job I just helped em on. I try to be a good neighbor.
Your are a great friend.
Its so good to know a plumber!!!!
Thank you. I try.
Your videos are underrated for how specific you are.
Thank you for the kind words. I love helping and glad that reflects.
Oh my...I could never have been a plumber. I'm kinda afraid to finish watching!
Shew...I didn't know what could have come out of that pipe lol. What a job! Looking forward to part 2! Have a great weekend!
LOL! I know Sandy! I was a little scared as well. I was kneeling in sewage most of the day even though I had plastic down. Installation is definitely cleaner. Will be out next week. Thank you and enjoy your weekend!
Nice job. With those brass fitting that go into cast-iron lead joint, have a think flared bottom as you saw. When you cut the copper leave about an inch above the fitting. Use the sawzall vertically and make two cuts about an inch about. That will allow you to cut the thick end of brass fitting. Then break the one inch piece with a hammer and chisel and use channel locks and squeeze it together and it will come right out.
Right on. Thank you for this. That was a learning process for sure.
That was a job!!! Thanks for sharing!!!
Thanks for the tips Brian! Wow what a job!
Your welcome! It was quite a job!
Those Diablo blades are the real deal! I have been very impressed, no matter what I throw at it, they always seems to get the job done. I also agree with you comments about the vibrating cutting tool, I use mine so much more than I thought I would, if I had know how much I would use it I would have bought a more expensive one (but my Harbor Freight one is still going strong so no need to replace it yet).
Sweet! I totally agree! Those blades have been great. Is the oscillating tool you bought corded? I love harbor freight tools. Seems only once in awhile I get a dud!
I bought a diablo non-carbide for cutting 2" galvanized, and it tends to bounce around a lot before it starts to dig into the cut, not sure why.
Yeah I don’t know. Maybe start a little slower and see if that helps
When you first cut the pipe, there was that copper water line running horizontal. Once you removed the old copper sewer pipe, I noted that you also had removed the water line, to make fixing the sewer pipe easier. Then later you must have to put the water line back.
That was a golden shower!
😲 Im lost for words on this one. When bad goes to worse! Let's Get To Fixing!🛠
Yeah bro! It was pretty ruff! They are hooked up, cleaned up and the poop is running inside the pipe once again!
Looking forward to part 2~
Awesome. It will be out on thursday of next week!
Looks like you had a mess there brother. Hope it turns out well for you. Awesome video looking forward to the install video
Yeah it was a job, but it will produce a few videos for me. Thank you Steve and have a great weekend!
Great job keep up the good work.
Thank you. So glad this could help you out.
You hit that oh shit moment glad you pushed through
this seems to how every job I do goes the snowball effect. after all that now you can fix it lol.
You get use to it after a while! Service plumbing is this way like 80 percent of the time!
Yea that is really messed up have fun with that one🤮. All honest you did a good job 👏
I would put this into the category of Heroic Plumbing. Beyond the call of doodoo.
Wow, what a nightmare! You were a real trooper and stuck with it though. Hey, do you know if that oscillating tool will cut 2" galvanized? Great job, looking forward to watching part two.
Yes you can get metal cutting blades that should cut through galvanized pipe. I typically use a saws all you will get some jerking if the pipe has play though. If you use a metal blade of the oscillating tool please let me know. I would love to know if you liked it.
Would it be helpful to heat up all the led so it can be bent for removal?
Baby swipe is my friend.
Wow Brian what a mess you got into! What would cause the copper to split out was it just to thin ? Thanks for sharing 👍
It was the poop 💩 running down the pipe that caused the pipe to go paper thin like that! It has to be doing that for a long time, but will just Take it down to nothing.
i had a problem like that from people using too much drain cleaner and chemicals in sink
@Greg Hill I could totally see that! I’ve seen metal traps fall apart because of that as well
@@ranger178 Maybe so, all metal are prone to corrosive chemical, good thing that now-a-day, they only use PVC pipe for drains, but old houses still problematic.
Is the Drywall behind the Pipe going to be Painted with KILLS to minimize further Mold & Mildew Problems?
Yeah it is going to need a lot of killz. I was trying to get them to get it all ripped out. Insurance would not cover it and the remediation would be a fortune. So they bleached killz and dried on their own.
@@ThatFixItGuy Good follow through, the wife and I were wondering if they would replace it, good they at least bleached and Killzed.
those diablo carbide are amazing on cast iron. Ripped a cast iron built in tub in half that wasn't cracking with the sledge in probably 5-6 minutes. insane blades. Stay away from any of the blades milwaukee makes, they're just a money grab and total trash compared to diable.
it was a lot easier to cram in just one wrap of oakum in a vertical drain and pour the rest as liquid lead then to cram it all in as oakum the horizontals they would have packed with lots of oakum since they had to hammer the lead in
Yeah I guess so. I have never really talked to an old school plumber about the way they use to lead and why there would be so much. Thank you for letting me know this. Time to start asking some more questions.
@@ThatFixItGuy yeah my dad was a plumber back in the 60s and 70s and everything he did in our house was the old cast iron and copper drains and copper water supply lines we had some old wiped lead pipes on the clawfoot tub lines some wild techniques they had with pot of hot lead and pouring or wiping on lead to lead pipes with an asbestos glove and a cloth with rosin on it
I was watching some of bobs plumbing videos the other day as he explained leaded joints and wiped joints. Those joints and that work was solid. I give mad props to the old school plumbers out there!
At my mother inlaws place she has a hole in the copper drain pipe that leads from he bathroom sink. The piping is around 60 years old. I don't think a quick fix job is the way to go. I thinking the drain pipe is likely getting thin elsewhere and she should have the pipe from the basin to the main drain replaced. Any thoughts?
I would take out the section and replace if possible. Do you have good access?
@@ThatFixItGuy sort of, I'm not doing the job thank goodness. Lol
I totally get that. Sometimes it’s worth paying for a piece of mind.
Brian, be glad you don't work in NYC. They don't use any PVC pipe. Just cast iron.
Oh wow. Even residential? At work because it is industrial we can not use pvc either. But at least today mostly no hub couplings. And we have a pro press cast iron cutter! That thing is sweet!
@@ThatFixItGuy I worked for a guy that had a special cast iron cutter for pipe as we did mechanical demo, and occasionally did domestic service in commercial applications.
Yeah right on. Any tool that makes that job faster and easier sounds great to me.
A lot of verdigris on ur walls! ( copper )
How did he realize he’s a got a sewage leak ? Odor, wet spot ..?
Noticed water on the floor in the laundry room. It had to be leaking before they moved in. I bet the smell was there so they did not think anything about it.
Don't throw away the copper.($)
and this is precisely why id rather earn less money and not be a plumber.
Lol! I think lots of people would agree.
🤮 What a Disgusting and Sad Install by whomever Installed this...
I know bro! When I seen what it was and what happened I was a bit sad! Such a bummer.
Was Hoping to see a rat or two.
first
Thank you Jack! Always appreciate the support!
just curious what the proper fitting would have been if the copper portion of the pipe was still good?
you would use a special no hub coupling that is copper x cast iron/plastic/iron pipe.
