She's said no, I'm not doing any shopping right now,,, I have no credit. Hahahahah Steve just starts grinding while she's still talking. 😂😂😂. Holy Shit Mamma!!!!
Steve's got another helicopter there.
I hate a chatty chatter lol
@@OmarRodriguez-vl2tq Youre in the wrong industry
Gas leak Steve whips out the angle grinder. She's a sparker momma! 😂
Gas has been locked out for over a full day. It’s not above LEL after that amount of time.
He does love using that grinder!
@@ppommyea I'm worried he's going to cut his hand off
I almost took my finger off the other day with a diamond wheel on mine. Moving forward I’m gonna use safety glasses, maybe leather gloves.
Take a shot every time Steve says "unbelievable" or "shit show" lmfao
"he said to me he said" BZZZZZZZZAARRRRGGHH. i lost it xD
Lmmaaooo!
Steve’s bedside manner is so funny lmao. I wish I could get away with that with my customers
“. . . flippin’ galvanized pipe . . .”
You have to down your beer every time Steve says, “unbelievable”.
😂
Flipping unbelievable!!!
@@OmarRodriguez-vl2tq
I had to redo my tenants bathroom. She had a bath fitter that got water under it. The ptrap was galvanized and cracked on the threads. The pitch was flat like an airport. Bathroom demo and rebuilt in 10days flat!
Take a shot every time time he says that. I bet you can't.🥃
Shes a leaka momma
She broke it on purpose to lure Steve in. She’s a black widow! Run!
LOL! She may want a different kind of pipe.
“Your not gonna screw me”
Haha 😂
I like how she's talking and Steve just turns on his grinder...lol
😂
Damsel in distress and Steve to the rescue!
This is that woman from a previous video whose husband died and she got screwed in the end…she just can’t get a break 😢😢😢. Fantastic video Steve 👍👍
Ohh well she's a dummy
Steve hears lawyer at 16:21 - time to grind lol
🤣 No f’s given - somebody is rattling off nonstop and on goes the grinder
Lmfao yes
@@CiscoWeshell yeah
"he said 'grinder noises' " hahahaha
I wana know what brand he uses for discs.
Wow! We could have been reading about this one on the news. Wild that she just got a gas detector.
Almost at 200K. Way to go Steve. Glad to follow you for many years.
You got lights? Kaboom! 😂
Steve i love your attitude. Im an electrician in the northeast and you always gotta walk on eggshells with customers, and i hate it. I love how you go in and just run the customer so you can get the job done.
She was lucky, damn lucky! Great work Steve!
Would of been on the news for sure. House blows up because of wet clothes
I knew once the inspector was coming that you were going to have to change all of yhat galvanized pipe & fittings.
Nice job.
He would have had to replace all that galvanized regardless of inspector ot not or he could be responsible for future gas leaks if he would have tied into the galvanized
Man Steve Lav is the GOAT for this. Never a dull moment
Usually, the women smell gas way better than the men. When a wife tells me she's smelling gas, and the husband says she's nuts, I listen to her. Usually find something.
Facts
Last week I thought I smelled gas. I got one of those gas leak detectors from Amazon, and it showed me a union that was barely leaking. I called a plumber to look at it, but they wouldn’t come over until the gas company checked it out first. The guy from the gas company was great. He was able to tighten the union and stop the leak. I didn’t have to pay a plumber now! I offered the gas company guy some money, but he refused.
Old school plumbing. Love it. No shark bites or propress here.
Ill get behind you about sharkbites, none of those for me. Propress is just fine though. It's like any plumbing really, install it wrong and you'll have problems. It's a learned skill to do it properly. I've personally not had a need to touch it though, it's expensive for just a home owner.
Sharkbites are not progress. Issues waiting to happen. Great for callbacks.
@@Rusty-Metalyes there has never been a callback before sharkbites existed
Half the fun is listening to what Steve is muttering during the job...We have all been there!
i did some updating to our house now 5 years ago and in the process i found out that our incoming gas supply piping was severely under sized it was very interesting learning about how you size the pipe for the amount of gas the appliance will consume as well as learning about the 2 pound system with the regulators and learning all this from a master Plumber that I’ve known for my whole life was a huge privilege
Wow shes lucky that her house didnt blow up sky high , at least now its upgraded and cleaned up with the pipes tucked up in the rafters - nice job steve 👍🇺🇸
should have kept the old pipe, added some fresh paint to it, hung it back up for the gal to use to hang her clothes, to keep her crap off the new pipe. Steve is laying pipe Mamma!
Here in New Jersey the gas company upgraded our gas main and they moved my meter from the basement to outside. All new piping was galvanized.
Do you have lights? Yes,BOOM!😂😂😂😂
Steve did a good job. It's been awhile since he posted any big gas piping jobs. He posted a lot of gas jobs when the channel first started.
My mom did the exact same thing, putting clothes on every pipe in the basement, gas, water, electical cables, it didn't matter, I told her the same thing! At least most of them were on water lines, so it was just a flood waiting to happen as well! 🤦♂🤷♂
Nice gas test. Sparks flying everywhere with no ignition, no liftoff. Momma no gas in those lines. Dead canary (or grandma) in the bell free though. Crazy stuff. Great work Steve Lav
I've seen this in many basements. I know the people don't listen when you advise them to remove the clothes, so I've even thrown in a few free banghangers for people when I'm just there to change their meter.
More pipework in that basement than in the Titanic engine room.
I just saw a video on CZcams about the gas piping mishap in northern MA where they didn't do a cutover properly and sent high-pressure gas intp homes....
My father found out he lost his sense of smell when he had a tenant in his office building say they had a gas leak. He bought a gas detector.
When I plumber says WOW, it means somethin! Steve quote. She sounds really sharp. I had an issue like this at work. I told boss lady there was a dilute 'mercaptan', smell from back of chicken fryer, she didn't listen. They called the Fire Department, and the dummies said it was under the skillet do dab, but they later found out it was the connection to the fryer. I knew it all along! Anyway, Listen to the little guy sometimes! the nose knows! ha!
My maternal grandparents and I nearly succumbed to a natural gas leak in their house in 2001. Cause of the leak was the mercury diaphragm in the meter (which was inside) ruptured overnight and filled up the ENTIRE place. Called the fire department, and their CO and gas monitors went off 15 feet from the front door, literally chooching Momma! They said if the house exploded, the whole block would have been gone, but luckily none of us suffered any aftereffects. Same day, the gas company put a new meter (this time outside) in, and a leak test was done to which it passed that day. June 28th, 2001, in Wantagh, NY, a day I'll never forget.
Explains why I never see inside meters anymore. My house used to have one, before I owned it, but it got moved outside when the lines were replaced on the street, and the supply line was moved.
Scary and lucky at the same time.
@OnusofStrife it is accessible, also I'd someone decides not to pay the bill its alot easier to shut it off vs the headache of getting inside
Real plumbing works.
@@OnusofStrifeI still have an inside meter to this day but only because I am getting rid of gas to go to oil. Don't want the gas company to ruin my 200+ year old, 5 foot wide stone foundation and I don't like having gas anyways. I like oil better and the price difference isn't worth it for me.
I remember her. Husband did not leave his retirement to go to her after he died. She was worried about the furnace repair bill. That bill was pennies compared to what this is going to be. Going through bankruptcy. I hope Steve cashes that check really fast.
Can you imagine the bill on this one?
Yup, I remember that voice 😮
you should cap the oil tank fill pipe so they don,t fill her basement with oil by mistake ,I am sure that tank is leaking by now if it is abandoned as long as the age of that furnace
I love how this guy talks.
Good work! You may complain a bunch. But, you sure do care about doing the right thing for your customers. I know they appreciate it!
I’ve worked as a gas service tech for 13 years and I’ve never seen something like this. Of course we don’t have basements in texas.
just one thought I had. when the pipe falls it unloosens, leaking gas from thread.
The death wheel keeps her quiet lol.
Unbelievable.Well it isn't going to leak no more!
This woman said she has no credit and is going thru bankruptcy.
Are you going to get paid for this job ?
other ways to pay then money 😆
Watching the threading machine work is so satisfying.
He's old school that's the way to do it
At 16.27 he just ended the conversation right there he had enough of her waffle!!
Steve’s a pro. 👍🏻
She said - No credit and bankruptcy. Steve was fast;
Steve, thanks for the video. Unbelievable is right!! This is one of the best videos you've made. Good work.
Great entertainment and show tonight Steve. Love your content. Your one hell of a knowledgeable dude. I’d be elated to work under you as an apprentice.
Awesome!!!!!!
june 2014 tornado over my house big tree dropped on edge of 500 gallon propane tank stood it up vertical pulled copper up out of lawn kinks everywhere whole yard strong gas smell and 30ft away 25kw pole transformer & both powerlines from country road on the lawn i had to get to the tank shut off valve through smashed tree limbs or die trying tank gauge said 79% and dropping. sketchy shit
Good to see Steve. It looks like the Gym is having an effect.
That's a clean work. Hope u get all the money u deserve, You are a good guy.
gotta pull them permits!
Steve! I always enjoy watching you doing old school pipe reminds me of my young days watching my uncle Carl!
Nice job! It's always a great video when Steve breaks out the pipe machine
Nice clean install, Steve. Good work!
Hey Steve and Miss Molly! Workin’ again ya’ll. 👍👍. she probably wouldn’t have known one type of pipe from another.
Great segment Steve you do great work.
The piping looks good, that was a great job you did.
Dang good job Steve, hop it all passes inspection, but I'm sure it will! Kick ass video, you saved her ass! Keep us posted and keep the videos coming ☝️👍💥👌🫵
Clean job. Very impressive.
Live and learn, she's very lucky she's still living.
As much as it was a crappy situation to fix, it made for an entertaining and informative video. I’ve never seen you do gas piping like that.
Our gas company runs galvanized, I even replaced a piece of the black iron since it had rusted through.
that's weird everywhere i go gas is always black iron I heard the flakes of galvanizing clog the gas nozzles they are replacing our mains with green plastic pipe or something out in streets after a big explosion from an underground leak.
@@ranger178this is apparently bullshit like so many other old wives tales in the trades. My gas company uses galvanized
@@ranger178plus it’s not black iron, they are steel pipes
@@pb7379-j2k black iron is the trade name for it since it is threaded soft malleable pipe for gas there is pipe called black steel that is welded and stronger for various uses.
Great Video. Thank you for sharing
Great work Steve.
great video thank you
Looks like a nice clean install
Well, you won’t believe what I experienced yesterday. Apparently, a mile from my house, some imbecile was using propane to heat his house, because he couldn’t afford to pay a natural gas bill, a low income single 70 plus year old. He had God knows how many tanks of propane in his basement. His house exploded at 6:00 AM, my folks and I were asleep, I in a deep sleep. My mother and father heard what sounded like a bomb going off, and their bed moved slightly from the seismic shock. The homeowner was inside the house when it burst, sending a column of flame skyward. The house collapsed into the basement, and a neighboring home had its windows blown out, with occupants asleep inside. The homeowner amazingly survived, crawling out of the flaming ruin with only minor injuries, yelling to call 911, before passing out. He’s currently in the hospital, and who knows what his insurance will cover, if he has any, he lost everything. I’ve been by that property countless times on my way to high school, and now work, all that’s left is a smoldering ruin. I live in Ann Arbor, MI, so the news reports will show dramatic footage.
Lucky the furnace don't have a pilot flame.
it did have a pilot
@@stevenlavimoniere Wow..... This makes it even more spooky!!
Looking Good!
Great job Steve
Nice work Steve great video as well!
She definitely got lucky.
I would be buying a lottery ticket.
Everyone should know how to shut the Gas Meter off in case of emergency.
Women & their clothes she was lucky!Another quality video Steve
Nice to see a true professional
thats why ive never hung anything on pipes for this exact reason & well you kept telling her steve !
Every Joe Homeowner needs to know how to turn off utilities to their house. Bummer. The gas is an easy one if you fast enough to get it done safely. At least its outside.
That was a bit of a job there Steve ..all looking good now 👍👍👍👍
Very nicely done she is very lucky
Hi Steve, great job!, a lot of work, but the lady is safe!, and I remember that house in Boston, that could have happened here also! But I remember a job I was on with a crew and we were redoing the gas pipe, but somehow one of the guys started threading pipe and a couple of long ones wouldn't thread, the guy had reversed threaded the pipe !, boss wasn't happy! Lol 😆
Nice days work Steve. 👍🏻
Steven, nothing but quality here 👍
Great job Steve, not a easy one
lol - it’s just layers of paint… (hear concrete crumbling) 😂🤣😅
Good job Steve
I think my Dad used a peice of gas pipe for a closet rod, but it doesn't have gas running through it.
I did tha too. A flange on each end bolted to a 2x4. No gas running through it.
3/4 Black gas pipe is very strong, can hold a lot of weight
Great job Steve! Hope the old oil tank is empty. Work looks clean and nice.
Dang, that was a mess. Sure didn’t help that that entire gas line run was a ginormous cluster to begin with
Nice pipework.
Just do CSST home runs to a central manifold. just like the new construction guys haha
Holy shit, that’s some scary shit there! One things for dam sure, every piece of pipe in that house needs to be changed! This is one of those all or none I’m out of here situations because one thing I’ve learned is that once you start messing with a section of pipe you can cause a leak further down the line. It’s bad enough having to fuck with gas lines when you replace an appliance. I once caught the wife hanging a couple clothes hangers off the gas line, needless to say it won’t happen again. NOTHING touches the fucking gas lines, NOTHING! And walking into a house with a gas leak, that’s some fucked up shit right there. Been in that situation a couple times, and both times I called the gas company first and had them come out. I of course shut the main off at the meter, luckily they were outside. But if you want to get you nerves racking and your blood pressure up through the roof, go ahead and deal with that shit! It’s definitely one of those shit your pants moments. Seen a couple houses that blew up because of a gas leak, and I can tell you this, the whole fucking house looked like a pile of match sticks. Sorry went off on a tangent, but this brought back some fucked up memories. Stay safe out there, and if your ever called to a gas leak situation like this, DO NOT ENTER! Call the gas company and let them deal with clearing the house of gas and making sure it’s safe to enter, not worth risking your life over someone else’s dumb shit!
Ole Steve's workin again you all 😊
Always 1:52 have CO alarms just in case pips burst.
Good work
MB more plumbers should offer the "clothes hanger up-sell"...😊
How many of these new hacks would have used those garbage press fittings? Love to see Steve doing it right!
My God did she have her whole wardrobe hanging on the pipe 😳
Wow brings back memories of the Ridget 500 cut n thread. Ya galvi has been ng for yrs. With the start total all btus on each appliance and run accordingly. I remember doing my 1st total gas rip n replace in Norwell yrs ago. Looks good Steve the good ole fashion way, work it n earn it. Yrs ago it was 25lbs for 24hrs before inspection. Keep on gettem kid.
How did that gas line pass inspection back when it was installed?
maybe it was done before rule against using galvanized or somebody added on to it over the years.
Wow! She could have been gassed out while taping that pipe. The good lord was looking out for her that day.
Gas company says this is the fault of the previous plumber who worked in the basement for not informing the lady that hanging clothes on the gas pipe was not a good idea. 😂😂😂
😂😂😂
I'm sure you're kidding but how could that become Steve's fault?
@@neonhomer The Fire Marshall found three of Steve's orange repair tags mixed in with the explosion debris ! 😂😂😂
She is one lucky lady!
