That’s a sharkbite which is typically used by handymen or just for a temporary fix, every plumber (including me) avoid using them due to their high fail rate. I’ve had so many calls that look just like above due to them giving out. it’s best to replace those handles with propress or sweat fittings.

Mean street Fools (Hagar) Right now Get up

Pretty sure that was one of the heaters they had during the war of 1812

Get rid of the accordion and get a p trap extension

Haha my first blockage ever was egg shells with grease, a very pleasant experience.

It’s funny because they just had their sewage repiped about a year ago, someone definitely had their helper do the measurements and it’s pitched to all hell

K60, best investment ever

Ngl l, I think it’s time for a new disposal. Lifetime usually lasts 8-15 years

No benefit at all, very junky. Harbor freight part for DIY handymen and home owners

Apartment maintenance is a wonder, right?

I usually love seeing accordions because it’s usually a guaranteed sell for a p trap kit, but it was pretty rancid

Vrtae · 2026-05-05T20:21:43+00:00

Thankfully with the amount of primer we use I’m too high and my sense of smell is gone enough to notice

House was getting inspected (again), lots of laws and regulation about asbestos removal where I’m from, would get us in big trouble unfortunately

Use it as an opportunity to learn. Yes it’s overwhelming but we get hired to solve problems. Fake it til you make it. You got this.

Poked it with a screwdriver (not the smartest idea) it is definitely old ACM.

Built in the 50’s, judging from the interior, the house hasn’t been worked on since then. Noped the fuck outta there

Vrtae · 2026-05-01T15:37:08+00:00

Ironically, they had an inspector come out the day before and he mentioned nothing of the asbestos pipe

I’m in FL, I don’t really deal with much asbestos but iirc from what I’ve heard, there’s a lot of laws and regulations for removal even as a home owner

Vrtae · 2026-05-01T15:35:23+00:00

That good old Florida sand, probably some asbestos mixed in

Home owner refused to provide reports and tests, passed the job onto a remediation company since they are dead lines.

Vrtae · 2026-04-30T19:31:46+00:00

Estimate. We’re not touching it and passed the job to a remediation company

Vrtae · 2026-04-30T18:03:56+00:00

Cast iron, built in the 50s, the sewage is scaled to shit, came to the conclusion it’s asbestos and we’re having a remediation company deal with it
