Being a plumber is a hard, thankless, and…nasty job. Working with clogged drains, plugged toilets, and misused garbage disposals, you’re bound to see some disgusting things. And one plumber showed us just how strange things can get.
Here are 32 of the worst things one plumber has seen on the job.
And he’s only been on the job for 2 years!

1) A valve on a valve
Okay, so we all know that a valve is used for control. The person who installed this might want to make sure that that the water flow is really controlled. We are guessing the doors in the house also have multiple locks.

2) An alternative way to replace a water heater
Well, this is another way to replace a water heater. Comments poured in about how it was a lazy thing to do and how some people think it’s quite costly to have it taken out.

3) Son of a gun!
Bfizzle said that he found this item while digging. Whoa, this is quite interesting and intriguing as well. We’re all wondering why it’s there in the first place.

4) Found a bottle underground
While the rusted gun found stirred so many intriguing questions, this one also made to Bfizzle’s lists. Why? Well, the bottle is in good condition as well as a very nice one – the question is why is it there and where was it used?

5) A true Elvis fan
You are not a true Elvis fan if you don’t have a toilet seat cover dedicated to him. We love the quotes on that toilet seat. If you’re a fan, you might want to get inspiration from this one.

6) A re-purposed toilet
Okay, so if you have an old toilet, don’t throw it just yet. Just like this one here, the owner re-purposed the toilet bowl as a DIY barbecue grill. It’s clever but weird. Maybe, it will work – what can you say?

7) Try digging through this giant rock
One challenge of being a plumber is the things you get underground but sometimes, you come across big rocks like this one. Big rocks like this can even ruin your tools.

8) Coins, coins, and coins everywhere!
If you can find some weird bathrooms there are also some Instagram-worthy baths as well. Just like this one. It’s very creative and gives you that rich feel.

9) How is this even possible?
Okay, this photo is one of the worst. A plumber’s nightmare to be exact! Did someone eat the whole menu out of taco-bell or a colon exorcism? What do you think happened here?

10) It’s okay if it works
This is actually legit. Another photo from plumber Bfizzle and it’s actually a clever way to resolve broken faucets. We’re guessing a lot of people will try this now.

11) Whatever did you eat, Sir?
Unusual for us but for plumbers? You should see what they have already dealt with. This is another one of those, “what will I do if it happens to me” moment. Imagine someone poking you while you’re doing your business.

12) The naked DIY homeowner
Okay, so we also have so many questions right now. How did that get there? How was it possible to leave such a mark? If you have theories, you’re welcome to share.
13) This is why your faucets have low flow
When you want to know why your faucets have low flow and you see this. Okay, so we’re getting the “eeww” vibes here. What? Where? How?

14) A flowery toilet
This may be weird for some but for us? It’s actually a very nice way to re-purpose a used toilet. It’s beautiful and we can see that the owner is actually doing a project here.

15) DIY handyman special
So, we love doing DIY projects, but there are cases wherein it’s best to actually leave them to the experts. Just like this one. Those edges will surely collect stuff and you’d be surprised what can you find in there.
16) This is why your kitchen drain backs up
This is one of the most common reasons why people call the plumber guy. Why? Because even if it’s a garbage disposable, it doesn’t mean that you can put anything there!

17) Face palm moment
We can already imagine how plumber Bfizzle would react to this. This is not how venting works and good thing he was called to fix it. Oh boy.

18) A handyman special
Bfizzle loves taking photos of the weirdest things that he has seen. This photo has a lot. Can you name the top 3 things that you have noticed here?

19) When Mother Nature takes over
When your sewer is blocked and you see why. When mother nature takes over, you’ll have a hard time reclaiming what is already hers.

20) Indescribable horror
Okay, this photo may be the worst that Bfizzle has posted. We can’t even find the words to describe this photo. One word though, just gross.
21) We trust in the cork
Corks have so many uses so don’t throw them away. Just like this one here. If you don’t like the leak, just put the cork in it and that’s it. Clever? You decide.

22) I smell something bad
Well, this case seems like a neglected problem. The pipe was already leaking long before it has collapsed. That’s the reason why the problem went this far. So, if you notice something, call the experts right away.

23) For repair
Well, in life, there are things that you need to let go, no matter how much you love them. Just like this old water heater right here. Looks like Bfizzle had to give them the bad news.

24) Shocking shower anyone?
We’re pretty nervous about this one. Really nervous. Definitely not the way grounding works. Maybe, if you are aiming for a jolting shower, this would work.

25) The wounded pipe
When this homeowner saw that there was a leak, he immediately did what was needed. He took lots of gauze and fixed the leak. Looks good if you’re in the medical field, but for Bfizzle, well, that’s another thing.

26) Toilet goes kaboom!
Okay, candles and toilets don’t mix together. Either he was being romantic while pooping or he just wanted a scented candle – it was definitely a wrong choice.

27) A plumber’s life
Being a plumber isn’t easy so kudos to all of you. This apprentice has to try and fix something in this tiny crawl space. Definitely traumatic if you hate small spaces.

28) The tampon etiquette
It’s a must that every woman knows tampon etiquette and this includes the rule that you should never flush them. Please. Then they would wonder why their drain is clogged.

29) 50+ year old water heater
Wow. This water has stood the test of time! If this water heater can talk, it would beg to be replaced. Time for it to retire, please.

30) Hold on, until the plumber comes
Well, this isn’t the right way to stop a leak but if you want, you can use the gloves as temporary hands to hold on to the pipes until the plumber comes.

31) An easy fix for a hose bib leak
Okay, so if you have a hose bib that has a leak, what would you do? Well, maybe slap another valve on it. What do you think?

32) Elastigirl’s bathroom
We don’t know the logic about this one but it seems that it was designed specifically for Elastigirl. What do you think?
