@ryanhopper4893 2 года назад

Just a tip instead of air pressure testing your DWV lines I'd either hydrostatic pressure test peppermint or smoke test they are way safer only because when pvc explodes wich it could under air pressure its turns into fragments and shrapnel and is very harmful

@L2TMFO Месяц назад

Hey Josh I absolutely love your channel it has taught me a lot I have a question for you I am adding on a bathroom and a kitchen connected to my house The bathroom is located right where I want to put the added bathroom I'm just not sure how to tap into the plumbing and also when I add the addition against the house do I have to take the siding off or do I just put up the wall and drywall it in would appreciate your thoughts thank you and again thank you for what you do

@robertvazquez2571 2 года назад

Great video Josh. Thank you. QQ: you mentioned your drain runs along the crawlspace from bathroom to kitchen, etc. does the drain need to be sloped through this whole process? If so, did you have to measure the end height before exiting the house?

@TheExcellentLaborer 2 года назад

Yes the drains do have to slope all the way out to the sewer. Yes you do want to make a rough calculation when you start to make sure where you are planning to exit will be suitable. Quarter inch drop per foot is a typical drop. Hope that helps Robert!

My mother in law is doing a new build. It’s going to be a crawl space home does she need to have septic in first before starting the build or can it be done after it is framed up?

@anthonymccoy4460 2 года назад

Wait to install the tank until all of the exterior is done that way you don’t have to worry about driving over the tank and damaging it. As long as you know where the tank is going you can work down to it.

What if it’s undeveloped land? But there lakes nearby stuff like that?

@NellenelleForSure 2 месяца назад

Are you questioning the legality of using a natural lake as the source of plumbing for your house? Or are you just questioning the process of how to do your drains (get rid of waste water) using a natural water source VS the city sewage ??

@jacquelynharper3659 2 года назад

I am in but of a pickle. All if our plumbing went unfortunately, it's an old house I gutted everything and there is a nonprofit that's helping us but half of all the plumbers they have tried to reach out to won't do the work. I am beyond frustrated, my mom is disabled and my fear is since we are still in the house with no plumbing that they will condemn the building. The nonprofit can only raise so much funding but no plumber willing to do it for people in need. What can I do?

@MohamedAli-cz3kl 3 месяца назад

Where do I start from ?? Can I start from the water source straight to the home or from the house to the water source??

@TheExcellentLaborer 3 месяца назад

The last connection I make is typically to the water source. I’ll make sure the whole house is plumbed and ready to go before doing so. I hope that helps!

@MohamedAli-cz3kl 3 месяца назад

@@TheExcellentLaborer are you talking about pex or pvc?

@NellenelleForSure 2 месяца назад

From the home to the water source or vice versa won't make much of a difference. That's like asking if you should put your straw in your mouth or your cup first. The straw/pipe has to connect regardless. What's important is the path and flow of water. You won't know the obstacles/obstructions until you start digging and you'll have to arrange the pipes accordingly. Regardless of starting at the water source or starting in the house.
