      @@zfour814 Logic. Common sense. General Knowledge. Sewer pipes running from a house are generally 4 inches in diameter. They are this big for poo to go down. While some really old sewer pipes are clay, most are cast iron or plastic. (depending on when they were put in.) Gas pipes are much smaller in diameter. (Usually around an inch or two.) (Fresh water lines are usually also an inch or so in diameter. You can't easily go from a big pipe, to a small pipe, or you are going to get a clog. This employee, who it was his first day on the job, should not have been left alone, and should have been able to tell the difference. And while sometimes a gas pipe and a fresh water pipe can look very similar, a sewer pipe looks very different. Elsewhere in the comments it has been explained there is potentially an innocent explanation for what happened. There were multiple miscommunications, and selective cutting of the TV footage. Breaking pipes to get access to the pipe to run a snake up them is the easiest and best way to clean pipes out. (Note: pipes can be broken or cut or accessed in any number of ways.)

      @cryptickcryptick2241 Před 2 lety +22

      Yes. And it is important she said that. That statement can be interpreted in two ways. First background knowledge that really is not covered. If you are trying to snake a pipe, but can not get to the clog, one can dig a hole then cut, break, drill or open a pipe for access. After you get into the pipe, you can snake the pipe both directions which is running a special tool up the pipe that will dislodge the clog. Then with the clog gone, you repair the pipe usually with a rubber boot and fill the hole back in place. Should a person break the pipe or cut the pipe or use a grinder to get access to the pipe. Well breaking it with a hammer is generally easiest on some pipes. The point is breaking the pipe, can be an intentional act of getting access, not an attempt to deceive the home owner. One thing that was missing in this, that could have avoided the problem, is discussions with the home owner, and not leaving a newbie on the job alone. Had the conversation taken place that said, hey I am unable to clear the clog from this point. I am going to dig up the drive way, break, cut or open the sewer line so I can run tools up the pipe and clear the jam people would not misinterpret breaking the pipe as a deceptive practice. The news media may have cut this interview in the wrong way.

    • @cryptickcryptick2241
      @cryptickcryptick2241 Před 2 lety +5

      @Isaac Simpson You are correct it wasn't a sewer pipe, but I believe the remote boss man, thought it was a sewer pipe when he said that. The hired man, should have know it was a gas pipe, -I know it was his first day on the job and he should have been left alone. I am just hoping people see how several of these miscommunications and contributing factors could come together to form a bad picture.

      @@cryptickcryptick2241 Nice try to justify the scamming. Houses have cleanouts on the sewer lines, to access the pipe. Even though the worker didn't know that he was dealing with a gas line, not a sewer line, he obviously recognized the deceit of the owner. That's why he warned the homeowner.

    • @cryptickcryptick2241
      @cryptickcryptick2241 Před 2 lety +2

      @@123bentbrent Don't get me wrong I am sure there are bad operators out there. I wasn't there, I don't know the rest of the story. I don't fully trust the TV news reporter to give the full story either as they can very selectively edit the interview. I also don't trust the worker as he already failed an intelligence test of knowing a gas line from a sewer line. Typically, a 4 inch rubber boot sleeve that goes on a broken pipe costs $10-15, in some cases you will use two of them as cutting out a piece of pipe requires two cuts. They tighten real easy with screws. PVC is also easy to work with. The big risk is a tree finding the holes and getting roots in the line. It is true many houses have sewer cleanouts. It is great when they are there and usable. Sometimes they just don't work. Many houses, built by the cheapest bidder don't put them in. When the tools get stuck, won't make a curve in the pipe, or you are just left with not knowing why it don't work. Making your own access to the pipe is not that hard, dig a hole, find the pipe and hit it with a hammer cut it with a grinder, or cut it with a saw. That said, clear communication with the homeowner on what is happening is very important.

I ended up finding the only reputable company in my area and they proved to me that Roto Rooter hadn't even opened the cap to look in my main drain to see if it just needed to be cleaned out. He said that the scam is relatively universal where they pretend to try to clean it out and then say the pipe is broken and then they break the pipe during the digging process and then show the customer the broken pipe.

      Dr. Crentist if the homeowner himself is a contractor, you'd think he'd know the right people to call to fix this and not have to be told the guy was digging up a gas pipe and not the sewer line.
      Not only this but his gas line shouldn't be a green pipe. It should be yellow. Just as electric should be red and water blue, sewer green, and telecom orange.
      A "contractor" should know this.
      The pipe diameter isn't right for a sewer line though that's correct unless it's a sink drain line. But a gas pipe shouldn't be green anywhere in the U.S.
      This is why you get a survey done before you did and get the utilities flagged off so you know what you are dealing with regardless of the color of the pipe.
      No way is the homeowner this big of a sucker and a contractor. It makes no sense.

      You mean the common sense to lie on a resume to get a job? If the woman is at least telling the truth about that it would mean he lied. I suspect she is not being truthful there as the texts indicate he was seeking advice. Usually people who lie on a resume will just wing it for a while and hope for the best rather than admit they do not know anything. On the other hand he is lacking sense by not knowing what he is striking. He has some level of honesty, but we are not entirely sure about sense.
