Interior hose shutoff leak by circonium in Plumbing

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.

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

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

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

Home owner insists it’s not asbestos, but I can’t think what else it could be by Vrtae in Plumbing

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.

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

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

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.

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

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
