You still helping people even two years after I appreciate you

You just don’t know how important it is to have material like this available during challenging times. I salute you!

This happened to me 2 days ago. I spend all day yesterday watching YouTube DIY vids...and yours BY FAR is the most straightforward vid so far. THIS HELPED ME A TON....thanks bro!!!

Thanks for sharing, brother. Don’t be embarrassed, almost everyone’s basement collecting stuff, unless it’s finished and a livable space. It doesn’t look like you are sitting around and do nothing all day long, basement cleaning is always happening as soon as it gets flooded 😂😂😂😂. Take care. Great job!

Wow, you saved me from a costly plumbers visit. I replaced the filter that my plumber suggested but there wasn't a change, still leaking just like yours was. Was ready to try to take off the metal lid like yours when I noticed that the drain pipe has a clean out on the top. I unscrewed it and it was filled with water. Pushed a electrical fish wire through a few times and voila' the water came rushing out into the drain pump and was ejected. Hopefully my problem is now gone. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Thank you so much. My HVAC unit is in the attic and it was leaking and I turned it off; 24 hours later it stopped leaking, so I’m pretty sure it’s the same issue as you had here. It was overworking and the coils probably froze and couldn’t do their job. I’m not an HVAC woman so I probably will end up calling that $100 guy because now I’ve got to fix the ceiling in the closet over which the AC is located. Thank God it is in the 70s this week!

This is the BEST video I've watched to fix the same issue I was having in my basement. I watched like 10 "professional repair" videos and none of them actually explained how to go about fixing it. Thank you sooo much!

I can’t thank you enough. It’s midnight and I’m frantically trying to figure out why I had a huge puddle in my laundry room. It was either the water heater or the A coil. My dad is coming tomorrow to try to fix it and I’m going to show him the video. I could cry I’m so happy!! Thank you!

Great job kiddo! My husband and I replaced a head gasket on our riding mower, resided our little barn just to name a few projects, replaced the mother board on our camper's fridge. It's amazing what you can learn off youtube! Wait to figure it out at a young age!

Saved me more than a couple $100 bucks. Love the reminder towards the end of the video about doing things yourself and not letting it bother you. Appreciate you!

Thanks bro! Love that people take the time to educate others. So important to keep knowledge passing on

Dealing with the same issue right now! Our Maintenance Worker is away & its extremely hot! I just want to make sure by waiting for him to get back that with still needing a little cool air @ least that this is not making the damage worse having to turn it off every so often because of that water leak!!

2024 and this was really helpful. Thanks for the tips man!

[accomplishedtheory]

My fitting was plugged solid. Thanks for the video dude! You saved me big time. The puddle ended up forming around my 10 year old hot water tank. If i called an HVAC company they probably would have bent me over good.

very helpful. I see the same issue for new Lennar property. These guys are the most messy builders.

[Rollie_Pollie]

Much praise to you. Had a leaking of water from my unit in the garage. Thank you💪🏽

[yourfriend]

Very informative. Have the same problem, same furnace and also in Wisconsin. 🤘🏻🇺🇸❤️Thank you. Gonna try and tackle it. 🙏

[madelinemarshall]

Awesome explanation and instructional video!!

[gregdoh]

Glad you found it before you started smelling mildew! It's smelled like mildew for a couple of days, and noticed water in the same area of yours. I'm about to do the dame cleaning you did. Thanks!😊

[gmontezuma]

You know, I’m grateful for you YouTube repair guys. I truly am. You save me lots of money and headaches.

Thank you!

That said….
Consider your audience. I’m dealing with an emergency, I’m standing in a pool of water on my carpet. I don’t have lots of time, so the side chatter about you being a hoarder and other non-related stories can wait until then end. Thanks!
