    Sink drain correct and to code?

    You need to cut that mess out and install a santee on the stack, the drain needs to run horizontal the whole way. What ever the horizontal jog needs to be, they make 22-1/2 degree fittings. If that doesn't work then you can install an AVV anywhere along the drain. The last thing that always...

    Clay pipe is Bad. If it's under concrete that's Bad. If it's near trees or bushes that's Bad. Better do some more homework before you sign.

    Best under slab sewer pipe for new house?

    Never use any kind of metal pipe. If you want to use schedule 80 PVC, go for it. The most important thing is that it is installed correctly and glued properly and it doesn't get moved while backfilling the dirt or when pouring the concrete. You need to have someone trustworthy to oversee the...

    question about replacing pop up assembly on pedestal sinks

    How much do you charge for your labor? Are you a white collar worker? If so then I'd say $1,000.00 is about right.

    Wet Vent Issue with Upcoming New Build Bathroom Group

    I took an isometric drawing course as an apprentice. An isometric is drawn on a 30/60 deg axis. When you draw a 45 degree angle on an isometric drawing you have to add 30 degrees to 45 degrees which is 75 degrees which almost looks like 90 degrees which is why you have to be precise with your...

    PVC Slip fit coupling Constant pressure (underground)

    Jeff's first reply was best. With a slide coupling just before a vertical transition, when the water pressure fluctuates from turning fixtures on and off the pipe will move back and forth causing the elbows to crack. Talking from experience. If it was a straight run then maybe okay. The bigger...
