Just maybe he's a Drano salesman and this is to clearly see his product at work.

Did it leak? LOL.

Nice see-thru waste pipe.

I had a Harry homeowner who used the proper material but didn't have a clue...

Here's one from yesterday... See anything odd about the CPVC piping (other than the drip I am referencing)? (BTW, supply piping to the basement bathtub/shower)

Looks to white to be CPVC but it may just be the effect of the flash.

It had "CPVC" in writing on its side... Any ideas "why" I found it to be leaking?

I'm still surprised it leaked.

Maybe it wasn't cleaned well enough first.
