As a kid, my father taught me when ever there is a problem with drainage, Always go to the house trap to further assess the situation. Great video as always. Many thanks Donald.
this is probably the biggest problem with any finished basement.... hidden plumbing with poor access and expensive stuff stored all around. This is a $10k insurance claim all day long. Toss out half the junk, rip up the wet carpet, remove damp wallboard, and spend a week bleaching / drying out before reinstalling everything.... and all because of a $3 box of wipes!
I agree totally. After watching these videos I made provisions before i finished my basement. There is a 1' brick surround between finished wall and concrete wall to serve as a holding tank in case of maintenance w/all plumbing fully exposed.

Drain Cleaning AUSTRALIA I love your channel, makes my day everytime you post. I love your banter and your enthusiasm. And I also dislike people who litter. NYDRAINS is also a favourite of mine as well!
I have to say Donald. That's a good job you did there. When I go and clear out these drains I find wipes. I always tell the tenants and the owners not to flush them but I think secretly deep down I continue to want them to just for the fact that they keep us in business. Great video Donald. Keep it up brother. Flowing like a river
Forget MCR's Black Parade... This is Don's Wipe Parade. Looks like I have a lot more vids to enjoy with a hefty side of wipes. Much love and appreciation from Oklahoma! ❤❤
Hi 👋 DONALD great job wow that was a lot of wipes people will never learn not to flush wipes but we know 😉 you will get the job done ✔ I really enjoy your videos keep up the good work 🙏 and keep the videos coming have a bless week 😀 😊 👍
That is a Mensa candidate right there The sewer pipes clogged The plumber is here I know, I will go use the sinks and toilets upstairs Brilliant Must be a 180 I.Q. right there
I remember going into this one, seeing both sides uncapped and yet everything was "stable", thinking, hey, maybe this time it'll be an easy job with minimal mess! Then the eruption started...
#140 this is very good.impressed I am ☺said in a statement that the other day when you get a chance to see the other side of the world and the other hand ✋
Quick question. Can you use a wrench or channel locks to tighten those steel plugs on the sewer trap. A customer was giving me shit saying that the right way is to use a wrench to tighten those steel plugs which doesn’t even work. Only way I put those plugs on was hammering it in.
99.9 % of the time, it doesn't work. It all depends on the homeowner. If they take care of the trap and open the caps regularly in that fashion, technically, yes, it happened to me once! But you can remove and install them both ways, but it's usually done by tapped in and out with a hammer 🔨 😉
Man alive, what a mess, I feel for the poor home owner. Hope his insurance covers it. Good clean out on yet another wipe mountain. Yuk. Pleased we can't smell what you do Donald!!
I'm totally convinced the manufacturers lobbied congress to allow them to advertise that those wipes are flushable, there's no way they should be allowed to make that claim! Plumbers' union did not object...😂
Hey, anything is flushable. Should you? Heck no. I had to help my sister unclog her toilet. I asked her what she flushed? Her answer, left over pot roast. Idiot….
Great to see another video from you Donald, wow there was a few wipes in there, i know its your living but i think they need to look into a better design of wipe, mind saying that they they do we wont be seeing great videos like this one 👍
And we have one of the usual suspects: Wipes!! I guess the home owner just goes thru his normal routine of flushing the toilet & washing hands without thinking that the drain is clogged, even tho the plumber has not even begun to start unclogging! Good grief! You got to wonder how some people can function. Have a great day! From beautiful Senoia, GA!
🤣I hate it every time when questioned about the obvious : 2:50 Is it backing up?.. But I suppose at the sometime he was a kind man too . Till then Donald
That’s like my job I work at a nursing home and there is these absorbent wipes that they Used to wipe the residents down and all over the package it says do not flush and yet the CNA’s and nurses are constantly flushing them
That may be one of your most pain in the ass cleaning with the wipes yet...not by number of them but how entangled they were. I am curious from on scene to actually leaving how long that job took cause at some parts you had to speed up and edit some of the wipe removal and stuff but curious how long that all took in the end? I do wonder if that exit pipe was put in poorly or may have something kinking it up like an arch, like a small frost heave to have that sheer amount of wipes collect like that in the pipe. Definitely a mystery but it almost seems like a certainty this place you or your co-workers will be revisiting. :D
The number of sewers cleaned every day with this machine is extremely lubricated! Lol, but in certain circumstances, as Joe m said, motor oil when needed and for other parts of the machine WD-40 once a week.
I would love to do a survey among your clients in who uses the most wipes. Men vs women. We know that the numbers will be incorrect because - and I quote "don't flush them" plush they're flushable. OMG.... IT'S A WIPENADO.... That looks like it was going to explode if you didn't clean out of when you did. That would have been a real shit storm.
The waste water treatment plants all over the country are having a huge problem with the wipes clogging up their equipment and costing millions of dollars in repairs
I’ll tel ya who’s NOT having a problem because of the whipes …… the mechanics themselves who make endless amounts of money and guaranteed job safety because of them lol
Yep, got all the water err sewage cleaned up, i think i will go flush all my toilets upstairs while the plumber is here. Got the clog, here is a little something for you, discount coupons for sanitary wipes....
Why is the trap inside the house. Why arnt they located outside the property. In the uk we have access chambers outside the property. Saves all that mess being made.
Holy crap let me guess his problem was excessive wipes Lord Almighty I have never seen that much wipes like that before. Have they ever heard of toilet paper? LOL
I solved the problem of flushable wipes by installing a two-foot diameter drain that goes from my toilet directly into the magma level of the earth. The wastewater cools the planet and the heat incinerates the wipes. Problem solved.
As a kid, my father taught me when ever there is a problem with drainage, Always go to the house trap to further assess the situation. Great video as always. Many thanks Donald.

Many wipes in that drainpipe all right. when that water started flowing in the beginning, that was a good reflex getting those caps back on.
Thanks again 👍
"Someone was having fun with wipes". 🤣🤣
Lol
😮😱 all that sewage flowing over the floor behind the wall, man what a mess. These things should only be put in major sinks. Great job, loads of wipes.
Thanks 👍
Enough wipes to make a Christmas street decoration, nicely spaced to boot 🧐🤣.
Great job as per usual.
Thanks for sharing
Lol thanks for watching 👍
Good heavens... all those wipes! That homeowner must have the shiniest bottom in the neighborhood.
😆 🤣
Holy $hit!!! That’s a bunch of wipes. May the lesson be learned. Gonna be quite a mess cleanup.

That wipe train started in New Jersey and ended in New York! It was that long!

Nice clean cable. You're the man.

This is the worst one I have seen! trap inside the house in the wall, with no where for the sewage to go when blocked, except in your living room
Lol
Good grief, hidden pipes and a couple cases of wipes, every plumbers dream.
Lol
Bro., I lost count at 397 wipes!!! Maybe even 399+!!! Hoping all is well, Donnie, Dirty Jersey out!!
Lol 😉 👍
Thé gift that keeps on giving
😉👍
The usual suspect, wipes... in New York, it's either wipes, roots or soap scrub crusted with scales. Good job Donald, not too bad mess this job.
Lol thanks Dennis 👍
Wow !! Anyone have a trash can next to toilet !! Keeps you working but damn !! 😎✌🏻

Does the restoration company you recommend follow you around?
Hope the guy puts in an access panel for the inevitable next time.

i trust he is going to stop using wipes now Donald. Must be a lesson learned great video..
Lol I think it was everyone in the house dumping Peter!
thats alot of wipes, lol, never seen so many in a video before.
Wipes will keep you in business for a LONG time lol

The wipes say flushable they don’t say won’t clog your pipes. You can flush wet cement down a toilet.
Lol 😉
😳 now that was a buncha wipes!
🤯😉
Real nice... They use the toilet while your tryin' to un-plug it. Real Helpful.
🤦♂️
How far down to the mains do you go before you know your pleasant day is in peril?😂 Geez did you give them the customary PSA on wipes are a “no no”?
Oh definitely 👍

@@NYDRAINS ah, pretty hefty job
How often do you lubricate the snake, and what do you use? Thanks, Ed. W
We use used motor oil

Love it--great job!
Thanks 👍
Sorry Don you had to unwrap your new snake cable & i bet you were "wiped out" after this job. LOL and sorry for the bad pun.

time for them to upgrade the equipment and the pipes to handle wipes.
That was a real bag of rages.

Great job!!
Thanks again 👍
Great video!👍
Thanks again 👍
I think instead of $49.95, you should charge by the wipe!
if so he'd be able to retire after this job!!!
Lol
A train of wipes and lots of POOPOO!
Lol
2:53😟🫣😐😳♥️👍😉
Lol
hard to believe that someone used the toilet or water while you were there.... Hope you showed the customer the wipes.
The definitely saw the mountain!
How long do these jobs take you?
It all depends. This one took me about an hour.
Yep, got all the water err sewage cleaned up, i think i will go flush all my toilets upstairs while the plumber is here. Got the clog, here is a little something for you, discount coupons for sanitary wipes....
Lol
In my 50+ years at this I would have to say this dry wall cut is the squarest I've ever seen.. HA.
It sure was 😆
Not sure I'd want that sewage smell behind the wall on the floor!!
🤢😉
What a mess!
🤯😉
The Wipe Express lol

Why did you cover both of them?
To stop the water from coming out so much.

Wiped that one out.

Why would they flush it knowing you hadn't snaked it yet?
🤷♂️
love wipes. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Oh yeah. Plumbers act poor, but I know differently
Wipes and mice Oh NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Thank god for ugly gloves.
Great job as usual Donald! Never a dull moment! Question! Do you own the company? Just curious. Thanks and have a good night 😴🥱🌃 ✌🏳️🌈✌
I wish Bryan, no, just an employee 🤔 thanks again 👍
a wipe train, insurance claim and big pain are coming your way😈
i always feel a bit bad for the owners that face such issue because of ignorance
🙂
😉
I think they better have their pipes
de scaled
😉
Those wipes should be banned
Then I won't have a job! Lol 😉
why in the world did they flush a toilet when they know its blocked and the pipes are open
🤷♂️🤦♂️
Charge per wipe and you'd be a rich dude retired on some island!

Why would you tell him to flush when you know its clogged. What a mess. Everytime.
