A homeowner is at their wit's end with a mysterious plumbing issue that's been plaguing them for months. Despite multiple visits from a plumber, the problem persists, and they're desperate for a solution.

Meanwhile, Gary is joined by Todd Harville, the owner of Rhinoshield, a company that offers a unique ceramic-based coating system for homes. This innovative product not only protects against the elements but also helps with energy efficiency and can even extend the life of a home.

The homeowner's plumbing issue is a real head-scratcher, with a clogged drain pipe that's causing black gunk to build up and causing problems with their dishwasher. The plumber has tried various solutions, including running a snake through the pipe and using a camera to inspect the issue, but nothing seems to be working. Gary offers some potential solutions, including checking the air gap and adding a loop to the drain hose.

The conversation with Todd Harville is also enlightening, as he explains the benefits of Rhinoshield's coating system. This product is not just a paint, but a protective barrier that can help with energy efficiency and extend the life of a home. It's also available in a range of colors and can be applied to various surfaces, including brick, vinyl siding, and more.
