Hello all,
Our main waste pipe inside the house (old cast iron) is broken in several places and needs to be replaced.
I'm going to break up the floor and take out the old pipe (I'm in construction) and replace it with 4" PVC.
Just thought I'd see if anyone has any tips for me in this venture, as I mentioned I'm in construction and work as a stone mason so I can break up the floor alright.
I need to replace everywhere inside the house to the clean out in the garage. (about 30 linear feet)
I have a few questions:
1. Is 1/4 inch drop per inch okay for drainage?
2. When I come to existing pipe I want to salvage or join into is there a special trick to not breaking pipe your wanting to join into? (bad wording I know)
3. Any other tips you have appreciated.
Thanks,
John
