Why it worked

The video provides a practical, visual solution to a common problem (bad smells from plumbing) in a relatable, "day-in-the-life" format. The creator's expertise and clear explanation make the content valuable and engaging.

Summary

A plumber diagnoses a "funky smell" in a commercial building by investigating a pipe that has been cut. She temporarily fixes the issue by installing an auto air vent, which allows the drain to function while preventing sewer gases from entering the building.

Original caption

I REALLY wanted to smoke test this one, but I kinda already knew what we were going to find as soon as I seen it. There was actually a vent upstairs that was cut off and likely what was causing the water staining on the wall as it wasn’t capped off and rain water would thus come in and sprinkle inside. I did first send the borescope through the clean out but it wasn’t long enough to reach the top of the pipe and I didn’t have my other camera on me so cutting to where the borescope could see was the next option, but I didn’t make it to that step lol. I guess someone forgot to finish up during some renovations. Whoopsies! • • @Oatey Co. #theladyplumber #oatey #plumbing #plumber #ifixthings
