I'm trying to find the sewer line where it exits the house (on slab). I know exactly where it meets the city sewer down by the street, which is also pretty much in line with the vent pipe coming out of the roof. I have a sink in the western most half of the bathroom. It connects to the vent pipe in the wall about a foot to the right. The vent pipe is also right in line with the tub drain, which is directly south about 4 feet from where the vent pipe is vertically. The toilet is about 2-3 feet right of the sink/vent pipe connection. Common sense tells me the toilet probably drains west right into the vent pipe and it and the sink then flow directly south, meeting up with tub drain, and straight out the front of the house. This is not the shortest route to exit the house, as it has to pass under a bedroom. The shortest route would be to exit the house to the east, but it doesn't seem that that is where it's going. I've dug about 3.5 feet around where I was almost certain the pipe had to be - can't find it.
How deep is the pipe typically buried where it exits the house?? Now - from my house to the street is a pretty decent fall - I'm guessing 4-5 feet fall over about 50-60 feet. I'm guessing if they stuck with the 1" per 10 ft pitch from the house to street, then that would require the pipe to be buried pretty dang deep at the house. So - does the depth that the pipe is buried where it exits the house vary from house to house or is there a pretty standard depth they stick with? I think I'm in the right area, but I just hate to keep digging and digging not knowing how deep to go.
There's no cleanouts whatsoever - I've looked everywhere.
