Hazardous Rusted Plumbing into modern plumbing || PLUMBING NIGHTMARE!

What happens here

The presenter moves to the basement/crawl space, which is dark and dirty, noting the presence of old galvanized water supply lines running along the foundation wall. A reciprocating saw is used to cut through these old metal pipes, as unscrewing them in tight, difficult-to-access areas is not feasible. Care is taken to identify which lines are water supply versus gas lines (which are left intact).

Goal: Access the basement or crawl space to locate and cut the main galvanized water supply lines leading to the fixtures above.
