sewer

Hello, New to this forum so I'm hoping I'm posting in the right area. This past weekend our sewer pipe in our basement began to leak. Due to all other plumbers being busy we hesitantly called RotoRooter who did an over priced snake of the drain but did pull out debris. They said they couldn't...

Thanks for the forum. The bond out for the sewer line from my new house to the septic tank is higher in the wall than it should be. Would like it 30" lower to better accommodate the grading outside the house. Can I exit the house with horizontal pipe, transition to vertical, then back to a...

I am purchasing a house (built 1955). I had the sewer lines scoped and the plumber discovered an issue. The kitchen was recently relocated. The new 2 inch kitchen drain was brought all the way down a wall in the basement and connected in to what we assume was an old floor drain. The concrete...

Last year I had my clay sewer drain replaced with PVC from the inside out to the street. Now, when it rains heavy, water comes in the basement from around the PVC where it exits the home (about 4 ft. below grade). I called the plumber back, he dug up the exterior and supposedly used hydraulic...

I recently tunneled under my house to repair a broken PVC sewer line from the toilet. While I was down there I noticed other joints leaking. All the leaking joints are connections between PVC & cast iron. A rubber sleeve is slipped over both and about 4-6 hose clamps are used on each joint...

Greetings from Oregon! I could use some help and I think this is the right place. I noticed what appeared to be a cleanout of some sort while we were clearing an area for a garden at my home. In the process of digging I managed to clobber it with the mattock so I decided to dig out the line...

Hello all, I have been lurking on this site on and off for a few years now, so once I ran into a problem, I immediately came here. I just bought a house that is slab on grade, and when the water was turned on, the floor became wet. We traced it to the picture posted. We actually had to pull up...

Hello, I've been having this odor issue that has been driving me crazy which seem to be getting worse by the day and hoping to see if anyone might have some ideas on why.. I live in CA in a 5 stories apartment complex. For months, there have been this faint foul odor always trapped in the...

I'm having problems with root intrusion into a sewer pipe. A few years back a clean out was installed, and I realize now it wasn't sealed properly, because the roots are growing in right at the joint of the clean out and the sewer line. I can see the root hairs from the clean out, and I've been...

I'm planning how I'd like to remodel this bathroom, but am not sure what to do with the sewer clean out that is in the way. There is a stairwell behind it, and an exterior poured concrete wall to the side. This is in the basement of a 1950s house. What are my options? Moving it seems like a...

Just moved into this house (new to use). The well was last chlorinated in April 2016 by a local water service here. It was tested for bacteria as well as a condition of the home sale. We have a rotten egg or sewer smell in both hot and cold taps, every faucet, including outside spickets...
