What’s in here

What you’ll see in these plumbing videos

Inside the house, you'll see disposals, faucets, repipes and PEX next to copper. Outside, there's a drain machine on a real clog, finding a line underground and digging one up. There's also a backflow preventer swap and what we find when we test tap water around here.

Questions

Quick answers about plumbing videos

Is PEX or copper better for a repipe?

Both are good pipe when they’re installed right. PEX is faster and has fewer joints, and copper handles being exposed better. There’s a clip here showing the two side by side.

How do you find a pipe that’s underground?

With a locator: a tool that traces the line from the surface so we dig in the right spot. One of these videos shows it on a real job.
