DISCLAIMER: Got2Learn is NOT responsible for any damage done to a property of which the plumbing wasn't done by a professional, I do not recommend doing your own plumbing if you are unsure about what you are doing, always hire a LICENSED contractor when doing any type of plumbing so you can be covered by insurances if something does happen, these videos are for entertainment purposes only!

This is one of the best videos I've ever seen. Good job my friend. I rarely get on youtube and find EXACTLY what I'm looking for. This exceeded my expectations. Keep em comin! You got another subscriber here!!!

This is why the Internet is the best tool at our disposal. So much educational content on here for everyone to learn. Thank You for this amazing content.

From a guy that has built close to 100 houses, this was a great summary of the residential plumbing system!

Man, modern plumbing is amazing. I’m so grateful I live in a day and age where this is a underrated reality.

[steverogers]

This was in my recommendations for some reason. Not being much of a handyman I didn’t expect to get much from it. Great video! I watched it twice then subscribed. I’m ready to learn from your videos.

In New Zealand, if you're not on municipal water supply, you typically collect rainwater from the roof and store it in big tanks set on the ground, then use a pump to feed it into the house. Some farms the a few rural houses will use bores (wells) for water supply, but much more common to re-use rainwater.

As a general idiot when it comes to plumbing, thanks very much!!! In 2012, I bought a house that was built in the 50's. You did a fabulous job of explaining everything. Generally I am a DIY person. This house had a lot of galvanized piping, when I purchased it. For the most part I have converted it to pex. I love pex as it's easy to transport and to install. However, you also make me feel like the few times that I have spent huge money on a plumber, when I thought things were well above my expertise, it was money well spent. Thanks again for the fabulous tutorial. Two thumbs up sir.

Great Video. Loved every second and learnt a lot.
Quick note: in cases where water is supplied by a well, it's usually pumped into a storage tank. The tank is usually on the same level as the house or higher. this allows a consistent supply and pressure in the event of a power outage.

Saw a funny bumper sticker one time on a plumbers van... it said " if it wasn't for plumbers you'd have nowhere to go"

My 5 year old asked me where the water (and other stuff 😂) goes… we watched this together. Great video!!

I really learned something from watching this video. I live in an established neighborhood. My home was built in 1922 and it's a Craftsman style. When walking I always see the different types of homes and systems they have. You've answered some questions about the drain system.

[DJizLurch]

I don’t even know how I stumbled on this video but I know watching the first couple of seconds of it I definitely was intrigued because I never thought how does my home plumbing work. Great video and great detail explanation. Appreciate the time that you put into this!

[danielvelezdiaz]

Plumbing...the most underrated job, of the universe....

[ayeshasyed]

I really appreciate you adding all the extra bits. Never thought of it before but definitely as a future home buyer I will research how to better manage rain-water to my benefit without it disrupting the municipal storage! Thankyou!

[theodorevegh]

All my life I was wondering how the plumbing system worked. You just cleared up my mental fog in your short video (7 minutes). I feel like a kid who just learned the alphabet or the multiplication tables. LOL - TAV ❤ 🇺🇸 🌎 👍

I've been doing software development for over 20 years and always interested in getting into the plumbing business. Thanks for your awesome fundamental plumbing system video.

I absorb a lot of knowledge about a wide variety of things from YouTube videos. I hold people like you in the highest respect! I am currently plumbing my house and you are just the guy I was hoping to find and learn from. It does make a difference in the way I choose to absorb information knowing that is comes from a seasoned professional. I might have a question or three along the way. I hope you don't mind if I reach out and ask you about something. Soon, I will be demolishing the cast iron stack and replacing it with PVC parts. Any advice for this is warmly welcomed. I have been the assistant for this task only one time in my life and now I know enough to be very dangerous!

Every plumbing apprentice needs to watch this... Especially abs waste plumbing and understanding Venting lavs etc and how water air and gas works in plumbing

[jbeat]

This was super helpful, I grew up on well and septic and understood the house's plumbing.

I recently moved into my first house with municipal supply and there were so many exposed pipes that I didn't understand, but now I do.
