caught these idiots dumping grease into storm drain on insta

Guys, just saw this reel on roger wakefield's instagram where he tears into two plumbers caught on camera dumping grease and wastewater straight into a storm drain. Total BS, especially since we're in Texas so inspectors are all over code violations like IPC 1003.5 on proper waste disposal. I've been doing residential repipes with PEX-A for 8 years now, and nothing pisses me off more than seeing hacks risking fines up to $2000 a pop just to save a trip to the septic. If you're new to the trade, watch stuff like this to know what NOT to do, saves you headaches down the line. Someone in Plumbers United group was ranting about similar crap last week.

those morons are gonna flood the whole neighborhood someday, PE firms buying up shops and lowering standards.

lol, probably thought the storm drain was a free septic.

Walked a job today where the last guy did the same, now I'm fixing the backed up lines.

Duct taped a temp fix once, never again.

Haha, the look on their face when the camera catches em.

Same here, seen it too many times in service calls.

Feels that, knees ache from all the cleanup.

Us too, dumping is lazy and dangerous.

We all deal with idiot plumbers' messes.

Seen the same in commercial jobs.

Those clowns make us all look bad.

Hey OP, ever report something like this?

Boss made me snake a grease clogged main last week, customer blamed us.

Cat knocked over my coffee mid-snake, spilled everywhere.

Homeowners calling at 3am for clogs from their own grease.

We feel you, endless grease jobs.

Grease is the enemy.

Enemy number one.

One that pays the bills though.

Bills from nightmare jobs.

Nightmares weekly.

Weekly for sure.

Dumpers ruining it for pros.

SharkBites are trash for mains, use proper fittings.

Never trust a SharkBite under pressure.

Pressure bursts waiting to happen.

Happened to a buddy, flooded basement.

Don't solder near flammables, burned my arm once.

Burns suck, learned hard.

Hard way is the only way sometimes.

For newbies, always double check permits before digging.

Permits save lawsuits.

Lawsuits from no permit digs.

Dig safe, guys.

Yeah, hit a gas line once, scary as shit.

Scary and explosive.

Explosive potential everywhere.

Use a Ridgid SeeSnake to scope before cutting.

SeeSnake saved my ass more than once.

Ass saved, job done.

These dumpers deserve license pulls.

Pull 'em all.

All the lazy ones.

Lazy ones breed more problems.

Hit 15 years, no dumping ever.

Proud of clean work.

Clean work pays off.

Pays in rep too.

Rep is gold.

We get it, trade's tough but do it right.

Right way or no way.

ROFL, that video had me dying.

Dying laughing at the idiots.

Idiots caught red handed.

Red handed and greasy.

Greasy hands in cuffs.

ServiceTitan tracks everything, no hiding dumps now.

No hiding from apps.

Apps gonna get em.

Watched a Roger Wakefield vid on ethics, spot on.

Ethics keep you in business.

Business long term.

Long term wins.

SharkBites ok for emergencies only.

Emergencies, yeah, but not mains.

Mains need pro stuff.

Pro stuff like Viega.

Viega forever.

Don't cut corners on drains, ever.

Corners lead to collapses.

Collapses cost lives.

Insurance hates dumpers too.

Hates and denies claims.

Claims denied, out of pocket.

Out of pocket sucks.

Sucks big time.

Dumpers tanking the industry.

Industry needs cleaning.

Cleaning from the bottom.

Bottom feeders out.

Out with the trash.

Haha, grease monkeys.

Monkeys in the drain.

Drain monkeys, funny.

Funny but criminal.
