I did not use to be claustrophobic but I am as i got older. I don't know if i could make it under there any more without losing it. Great patch job, Tim. Stay safe and stay warm. and clean and dry
Tim I am a disabled vet and a pipefitter for over 30 yrs..This is not a slap at You..The pex connections should be deburred because sharp edges will cut into the "O" rings and cause a leak..I live in an older mobile home and have P/V gray supply lines also..I do like Your informative video's..Regards..Bill
Be NICE NOW. NOT all of us mobile home owners are TRAILER trash, low income. It's a SMART way to live, for me. COSTS of apartments are $1000-2000 a month in my area. REFUSE to pay that! Homes are hard to get into here $$$$$$$
That grey pipe is the EXACT same type of pipe that is in the mobile/manufactured home (built and placed on a 7 acre property in Texas in 1994) that I purchased in 2012. (The older couple I bought it from had lived in the home since the husband retired in 1994 and hoped they would forever, but the realtor told me his wife had suffered a massive stroke and was wheelchair bound and it was not cost feasible to retrofit the entire home for her chair) The couple had done a fantastic job of landscaping, planting Peach, Plum, Pear and Pecan trees and many Redbud trees, they had added a water well so they could water without restrictions, they built a fire pit down by the creek with all the native fossil rocks around here and outlined their landscaping with it, they converted the LR Fireplace to Propane, they took up all carpet and installed Pergo flooring and in bathrooms tile was installed, they built a Barn and an extremely sturdy carport, they added huge decks to the front and back of house, etc, etc, etc.... I was 27 years younger than they were when I moved here and I can barely keep up their improvements! THAT is why I wonder why they did not change out this piping. It has been nothing but problems for me for years now. The first was when I purchased a new dishwasher from Lowe’s in 2018 and paid $69.99 for it to be installed, when they saw the piping, they said they could not do the install as there was “too much liability”. Luckily I found a wonderful plumber, Luis Lopez of AM Plumbing in Denton, Texas, who explained all about the pipes I had and why they were not ideal and he replaced a portion of them that linked to the dishwasher and installed it. Since I was remodeling the kitchen and master bath at the time, he or one of his guys, also installed the water/ice maker line to the new fridge, new kitchen faucet, new water heater, new garbage disposal, new shower head, bathroom faucet and toilet. I added up the costs and found it was actually less expensive, and I’m sure it was better done, to have a plumber and plumbing company do all of the above than it would have been for Lowe’s or Home Depot to do it! Winter of 2018/19 the pipe “split” right by the front outdoor hose and a section was replaced. In June or July of 2020 another break under the house, near second bath. Did you hear about the Big Freeze in Texas in February? The pipes under my house basically exploded. Now I am finally going to have every pipe replaced. I am living with my brother while waiting for an opening in the schedule to get this job done. It is NOT covered by HOI.
Got to love them jobs like that one, and I agree shark bites are for emergency temporary fix I don't use them except for temporary to get the customer water until I can get back out to fix it properly, thanks again for your videos Big Tim
Not quite sure how much more permanent u can really fix it besides going in and replacing all the piping thru out. But Sharkbites are the permanent fix
I didn't see any spiders? I was creeped out watching this video! Hope the other 2 mobile homes wasn't like that! One thing about the cold weather coming in. It's going to feel like Christmas! Enjoy your upcoming weekend Tim!
That being line from water heater, were you not concerned about water siphoning out of the tank and below the element while power was still on? Or, did you kill power before cutting the pipe?
Came in for instruction but his "low income" clients are what partly feeds him. God bless this guy anyway because he does not have any grace in his life.
I have a lot of faith on the shark bites Tim, however I have never used them under a mobile home?????? Great video though and keep them coming!!!!!!!!!!!
Not sure how this is any worse then a craw space. But I just love how you said low income housing.. Maybe when you lose your first million and have to be on a fixed income this might not look so bad for you.. ps you don't have to be low income to not want to have a high dollar mortgage my trailer is bought and paid for.. How bout you?
That’s actually a fairly well kept yard and neighborhood for low income housing. Does it look like that beneath all mobile homes? That’s actually quite scary looking. Are there a lot of Spiders under there? Be careful where you place your hands because of Brown Recluse Spiders.
He basically does this in alot of his videos. “Low income.” But “low income” is good enough to keep him with jobs and money. What’s so degrading is he says it like he is any better? He is a plumber ... guess that’s gives him the right to say it like you said. 😂Iam glad you called that out. Yes I know others will see this as well. No one is better than anyone else because of the place they live in. And to talk about them on camera. Shame on you Tim.
I'm not understanding why you're choosing to use shark bites? Do you not pex crimpers? Regular pex fittings are less expensive for you, and are a MUCH more reliable and permanent repair.
Under my house there's a hose/copper thing that is connected to the PVC piping to the house to the water hookup. The metal on the hose part decided to break so my boyfriend help put a new hose end on. Would you think that's an OK fix or should I have the hose replaced?
Your sense of humor is great. Thanks for the laugh. Nice work btw.
Admire your tenacity w these types of projects. Thoroughly enjoy watching your videos.
I did not use to be claustrophobic but I am as i got older. I don't know if i could make it under there any more without losing it. Great patch job, Tim. Stay safe and stay warm. and clean and dry
same, I am going to have to hire someone. It will be costly tho. 😭😭
Hate getting under mobile homes... Nice Tim

The old polyb tends to break/leak right where they put the crimp on the fittings
Excellent job
Polybutelyne is that grey pipe . Outlawed years ago.
Bless your heart, polybutylene is a nightmare
That looks like Polybutylene pipe they discontinued use in modular homes because of many problems
Yep it sure does. I dislike when people call PB pipe PEX. Plastic is not plastic.

Got to love Polybutylene
Shark bites have saved me more than a few times
me too
Got to love them jobs like that one, and I agree shark bites are for emergency temporary fix I don't use them except for temporary to get the customer water until I can get back out to fix it properly, thanks again for your videos Big Tim
Temporary fix!?
I have shark bites in place for over 5 years and have never had a problem. I consider this a permanent fix. LOL
Not quite sure how much more permanent u can really fix it besides going in and replacing all the piping thru out. But Sharkbites are the permanent fix
@@TuanBui-yp7oz permanent for a DIY’er , but to each his own
Have sharkbite over 12 yrs, no problem ‼️
I didn't see any spiders? I was creeped out watching this video! Hope the other 2 mobile homes wasn't like that! One thing about the cold weather coming in. It's going to feel like Christmas! Enjoy your upcoming weekend Tim!
Thanks Ray

Great video. Learned a lot.
Thanks for watching

Thanks
I am glad to hear some good on the shark bites, my girlfriend is going down there to do some plumbing work with them...
How much does that cost avg? I just got a water leak under my trailer today
Not sure how this is any worse then a craw space. But I just love how you said low income housing.. Maybe when you lose your first million and have to be on a fixed income this might not look so bad for you..
ps you don't have to be low income to not want to have a high dollar mortgage my trailer is bought and paid for.. How bout you?
as with all your videos great job
Thanks
Hilarious how even a trained plumber still pleads for God's help when doing pipes hahahaha ready to get stressed today when I crawl under my trailer 😊
So what's a job like this cost ?
OMG! No mask? You are a brave man. My lungs couldn't handle it...
My leak is outside. THAT looks like a pain. But, You guys get some $$$$ out of us....
Put a cheap rain suit on its hot but u don't get wet crawling in the muck an crap.
That’s actually a fairly well kept yard and neighborhood for low income housing.
Does it look like that beneath all mobile homes? That’s actually quite scary looking. Are there a lot of Spiders under there? Be careful where you place your hands because of Brown Recluse Spiders.
Yeah can confirm looks like this and plenty of spiders
Great job sir ...so my question is do you need like a specific tool to crimp the shark bite or do you just snap it in?
I understand its low income housing but its someone's home. Wish you were not so condescending..
He basically does this in alot of his videos. “Low income.” But “low income” is good enough to keep him with jobs and money. What’s so degrading is he says it like he is any better?

The old grey pex under the trailer was so brittle shark bites was all I dared to use
Thank you do much learner a lot
I may have done the job different , using my sharkbite disconnect tool , remove original damage piece and install new pipe
PEX and Sharkbite are good 👍 Installed mine for more than 12 yrs.
I do not like shark bites either, PCV glued together is the way to go.
Plumbing mess reminds me of The Three stooges skit a plumbing we will go check it out 🤣
once the old poly begins splitting like that just a matter of months it's going to do it again always the hot pipe
That sure was a lot of 90s
Not much we can do but shark bite it , Tim your head light switch it to on
wow!!!!!
That house needs a whole repipe that polybutylene will give them more problems
My main burst today and filled up my entire belly with water and now all the insulation is ruined, belly ripped… it’s a nightmare
That suck’s
Good luck
NICE JOB BROTHER
Thanks for watching
How can I get in touch with him
You the man!
Thanks for watching
Under my house there's a hose/copper thing that is connected to the PVC piping to the house to the water hookup. The metal on the hose part decided to break so my boyfriend help put a new hose end on. Would you think that's an OK fix or should I have the hose replaced?
I would advise a more secure connection
Thanks for watching
@@PLUMBINGWITHTIM thank you.
Quest pipe
Just curious ball park, how much is a re-pipe job
Around 5k
You used the cheapest teflon and are holding the tools backwards. Definitely not a plumber
Watch out for snakes & be careful.
Very nice “low income” neighborhood
I just don't like Shark bites.period.to risky in the longterm.
Me neither
Medelijden
If this a temporary fix...I best find another
Channel 😮
Quest is garbage
You complain too much.
So it sounds like everyone and everything there was poor and dirty🫨
