Hazardous Rusted Plumbing into modern plumbing || PLUMBING NIGHTMARE!

What happens here

Access the crawl space or basement to locate and remove additional old galvanized water supply lines. Due to the cramped and often dirty nature of these spaces, a reciprocating saw is used to cut through the pipes. Caution must be exercised, as cutting into old pipes can lead to leaks if the water supply is not completely shut off. The old electric water heater is also removed from the basement due to severe rust and age. Special care is needed when navigating the tight spaces and handling the heavy, rusted water heater.

Goal: Cut and remove remaining old galvanized pipes in the crawl space using a reciprocating saw, and carefully extract the rusted water heater.
