If this is you, you may have a busted drain line in this slab.

If this is you, you may have a busted drain line in this slab.

I’m running the kitchen sink while doing a video inspection of the drain line, and suddenly water starts pouring out of the cleanout.


Well… that ain’t exactly a good sign. ๐Ÿ˜‚


Water is supposed to stay INSIDE the drain pipe. If it’s coming out of the cleanout while I’m running the kitchen faucet, there’s a pretty good chance that drain line under the slab is busted, cracked, separated, or just completely pooped the bed.


At that point, your kitchen sink isn’t draining to the sewer anymore—it’s helping irrigate the disgusting little underground swamp forming beneath your house.


Grease, food particles, dishwater, and whatever mystery sludge has gone down that sink are now getting a VIP tour of the underside of your slab.


The video camera shows us what’s happening. Running the water helps prove it.


And when water starts showing up where water has absolutely no damn business being…


You don’t need Sherlock Holmes.


You need a plumber. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ”ง๐Ÿ’ฉ


Nothing says “homeownership” quite like discovering your kitchen drain has been feeding an underground sewer petting zoo.
