How to Clear a Clogged Plumbing Vent | This Old House
https://www.youtube.com/user/thisoldhouse/
Surprised there wasn’t a kid’s toy in there somewhere.
Throw a stick of dynamite down there. No more clog.
How about a safety harness, dude was up three stories like nothing on a pitched roof. Crazy
Wow great find 🤩
Bro flush it
I bet putting a brass nozzle on the end of the hose would be even better.
Adds a little weight and a lot of hydrojetting type of effect.
Can a vent pipe have an odor coming out of it especially when it’s windy? My neighbor had to do a 4 hour rotor rooter job on his rental house because renters used toilet system without running water for 3 weeks. Ever since then I can smell a sewer odor coming from that house that’s worse when it’s warm out. Why the smell? It wasn’t like that before he had the sewer system cleared. Been a year now.
GLOVES dude
Where is your fall protection Richard? You are working right on the edge of a 18 ft drop. Not good.
Old schoolers don’t use 🧤
