    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

    • @NellenelleForSure
      @NellenelleForSure Před 3 měsíci

      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.

    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
      @TheExcellentLaborer  Před 2 lety +1

      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!

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?
