Great video as always. It seems like the first two options would be the best. The work involved in installing a 13 foot 4 inch drain (changing the existing drain pipes, furring out walls, new drywall, etc.) would be more expensive I think.
Do you have a video on how to install earthquake plates to the foundation? Or retro fit a foundation to meet earthquake code requirements in southern california?
Thank you for this! Question, we have a kitchen sink we need to move over 3' however it is a load bearing wall. We are on a crawl space, so it may not be hard to extend the drain a few feet. But, what do I do about the vent? I cannot easily install a new vent at this location, and cutting through the 2x4s would be ideal however as a load bearing wall I can't do that, correct?
That last example is exactly what I’m going to attempt. But I thought you said we couldn’t go 13 feet with 1 1/2” pipe? I want to install a slop sink in the corner of my laundry room. The drain is in the other corner. I have to go 8 ft., 90 left, then another 5 feet to get to that drain. If I do 1/4”/ft slope, that’s about a 4” total drop right ? Any help would be much appreciated…as a residential electrician, I Hate DIY’ers…but I’m also very poor, lol.
Can you run a drain line on the outside of the slab around the house and meet up with the sewer in the front? Sort of have it Jut out of the wall and along the slab? Assuming I could get the slope I need and the proper size pipe.
😢doesn't matter how that plumbing drain gets looked at--if I want a dishwasher--we gotta cut a big chunk of foundation to go "fishing" for the whole house drain...
