How much fall on ten foot lengths of sewer pipe?

Almost all codes now use reference to a 1/4" per foot fall in sewer and septic lines. Too little fall will not float sewage out and cause clogs. Too much fall will also rush water out and not remove sewage properly. 2.5" per 10' stick.


How much money does a pipe fitter make in a year?

Depends what pipe fitter. Also depends how busy he/she is how many people he/she has working working for them. and what type of pipes they fit too.


In an older house if you have the metal pipe for the toilet without a flange in the basement can you split the pipe and add the flange to use it for a sink drain too?

Install a ty fitting on the stack in the basement then run it to the sink. Put it low enough to account for a fall in the pipe, to allow proper drainage. Be sure to install a waste and vent pipe to code for both fixtures.


What can happen if the 'fall' for a sewer line is too grate?

Sewer lines that are too steep will allow water to outrun the solids. Solids left in the sanitary line will create a buildup of noxious gases as the material decays in the line (anaerobic or 'septic' condition) rather than at a treatment plant. It may lead to a partial or complete blockage of the sewer line if the liquids do not have enough sustained volume or pressure to dislodge the solids - leaving more solids to build up. The most likely problem is the buildup of sewage gases. 1-3% downgrade is ideal. One area where debris usually builds up on steep grades is at joints of pipe - especially the old clay lines which join every 4'. Another area with a common build up of debris is where a steep grade levels out. How do I know? I work in public works department and run ccd cameras down blocked residential sanitary lines.

How much drop required for a drain pipe?

Depending on the type of drain pipe referred to, "Yes", it can have too much drop or "fall". Specifically sewer drains, as too much drop allows the liquids to leave the solid material behind, causing a blockage. The water outruns the solids.


How do you replace your sewer line?

The way you ask this question is too broad. Which part of your sewer pipe needs replacing? Exposed pipe in your basement or crawlspace is too simple for you to be asking about. If you mean the sewer pipe that connects your house to the city sewer (generally under the street) you have a big task. Depending on what part of the country you are in, this section of your sewer pipe can be anywhere between 4 feet and 20 feet deep. In either case you'll need a backhoe to dig it up.
